Which controller is best on the market at the moment?

Have you looked at the Denon MC6000? It might be slightly above your budget at

there is a sync & master deck button on each mixer channel below the monitor cue (headphones) button.

it is like 2x cdj 350 or 400 (with better tempo faders than the cdjs) with a 4 channel pioneer mixer but without rubber knobs. the whole feeling is great. i would only change it for cdjs 850-900-2000 pioneer.

definetly worth the money.

also sync button its not a sin. its an extra tool to make your life easier. its not shame to use it. if u know how to count tempo and the bars on a song. cause if u dont know how to count bars the mix will not be good, it would just be in tempo.

that said from a cd lover, and hater of the new technologies on music industry since they first came out. but no more.
the huge useability and easy to carry your whole music collection in a laptop instead of 3 or 4 big bags, the countless effects and so many other pros that come with them its a miracle!

these things are tools, and its up to you how u use them, sync button just put the track in tempo with the other deck just this, djing its about making people happy so they stay here to spend their precious money to drink ALOT so the place you work makes profit! and to come back again. all the others are just excuses from people who arent able to follow the rythm as life moves on.

by just putting 2 tracks on the same tempo u dont acomplish nothing, by keep the crowd in the rythm and the proper mood is the deal!

AND YES! i can beatmatch 2 tracks together without using sync button!

i've always been playing with pioneer cdjs, now that i turn from cd's to digital with traktor i've bought a ddj wego, then i wanted something bigger. i looked for ergo, then s2 then s4. i finally went for ddj t1. cause its amazing. its a copy of pioneer cdj, all buttons are so similar to cdj, that its like playing with a cdj! the only disadvantage its the plastic feeling in mixer knobs, they could have been rubber.

its a 100% reliable machine, and i am very satisfied with it. also its pretty cheap these days.

s2 + s4 its NI controller so its probably the best for traktor BUT pioneer its the club standard.

sx is good also but its on a bigger budget and serato factory default. t1 its exclusively for traktor.


if i was to buy again, i would definelty go for t1.

its all about what u need, if u need pioneer cdj like controller go for t1 or maybe sx. if u dont care about the layout go for whatever else you or ur pocket like.

greetings!

I thought you said you just finally got your gear already (in the thread you started about you teaching others how to DJ). What are you using now?

The problem with the R-1 and the Aero is the "almost" pioneer workflow - but not quite.

E.g. The Aero works on reckordbox for iPad and USB (pretty cool), the R1 does not (well it can for USB drives) - it works on its own internal software and the iPad controls the playlists etc, but the R1 has CD drives which the aero does not and can play even if the iPad disconnects (as the songs are stored on USB :-S )

Very confused pioneer - hopefully a single app can do the trick in future for all units.

If it were a toss up between the R1/Aero or SX I'd go SX hands down, Sure it lacks the iPad stuff but has Nicer jogs, nicer pitch control, better build .. and is probably closer to the pioneer workflow than the other two anyhow.

You could also look at the SX's baby brother the DDJ-SR which is basically a 2 channel SX




The vci-400 can be had for around $450-$500 at the moment (guitarcenter/unique squared) and is seriously one of the best built and fully featured controllers out there.

Hi guys,

I just want to know which controller is best on the market? My price range is anything up to

I'd pick the T1, it'll get you slightly dialed in with Pioneer gear seeing as it's basically the industry standard when you play out.
