Elsewhere, the mixer section is slimmed down, which has the fortuitous bonus of allowing a few subtle changes to the layout of other controls, giving a little more space to adjust controls like the headphone cue mix and levels of headphones, master and booth outputs, and sampler. Most obviously, the jog wheels are smaller, cheaper units than the CDJ-2000-spec ones you find on the DDJ-1000. You can also see where features have been dropped from the DDJ-1000 to make a smaller, more affordable unit.
Out of the box, it’s immediately apparent that the build quality of the 800 is decent, if understandably not quite up to the standard of Pioneer’s range-topping gear. There are no slots for CDs, USB sticks, SD cards or any other kind of removable media on the DDJ, but it does act as an audio interface, so there’s no other hardware required except your laptop and a pair of headphones.
Despite similarities in appearance, it’s important to note that the DDJ controllers only work in conjunction with the software, not standalone if you want standalone, laptop-free operation you’d need to look to alternatives in the company’s CDJ and XDJ ranges.
Best usb for rekordbox software#
For DDJ users, rekordbox can be seen as a rival to the likes of Serato, Traktor or VirtualDJ: the software on which the whole platform runs.
