BEDROOM to the BAR - Pioneer DDJ-800

James takes a look at the Pioneer DDJ-800 with Sami to see where it fits in with the DDJ-1000 and what it's bringing to the table. The DDJ-800 is their new 2-channel controller inheriting many features from the larger DDJ-1000.

what about the performance pads..?are they as fast responsive as the 1000 or the RX2?thanx

[@Tmax8788]

The best investment I ever made!

[@davidrea65]

They really do need to produce a Serato version of the DDJ-800 as they have with the DDJ-1000 recently.

Just bought one up barely used for £600 w/box and the Pioneer hard carry case - Can't wait for it to arrive!!

[@prspktvmusic]

At this price range, wouldn't it make more sense to look at used all-in-ones like the RR or RX?

[@Savage_7_99]

For anyone wanting to upgrade their controller to the 800 plz do yourself a huge favor and save up a little more for the 1000. I promise you will be happy you did!!

[@icsux]

Both are not worth the money, I have the ddj800 because is smaller and lighter and fits the same case from XDJ R1.. the only thing I miss from ddj 1000 is hte efect on the mic which 800 doesn't have. Both have a cheap feel, they work great but they don't feel solid enough for me.

Pull Up, Pull Up... lolz, nice unit, is it around the same size as the SX, RX series..?

[@GetintheMix]

Yes it's a very similar size to the SX3 & RX, just a touch smaller than those by only a few centimetres.

[@househeadspeakz]

The controller is nice but compare it with the 1000, I not think so. Pioneer made the mistake by charging $899 for this until without a 2 USB plug in. If I want to have another DJ to do a tag set, I can't. The DDJ 800 to me is a cross from the DDJ 400 and the DDJ 1000. Again, the reason I would not purchase it is the price. The DDJ 1000 priced at $1199 usd. The DDJ 400 (which I use currently) price at $249 usd. See the difference? If they would have price it at $599, I would purchase it right away. Unless Pioneer lower the price, I am afraid this unit will not sell well. I rather wait and save up the $1200 for the DDJ 1000 for it will be the last controller needed for DJs like me to play out in clubs and festivals.

[@gonzo9523]

Couldn't have said it better myself. If this was down to a $600~ price range, I could see it being a more viable option for some but you really are better off saving up and going with the 1000 because that thing is solid.

[@moltenpros]

@@gonzo9523 I totally agree the price is too high or too close to the ddj 1000

[@kudamah]

What about the crossfader? I've seen where some said it's not as durable as the 1 on the 1000, thus it's not recommended for scratching as such. Is that the case?

[@PraveenBombanero]

Its not a Magvel fader like the DDJ-1000.

[@kudamah]

@@PraveenBombanero thx. If its a fader like the ones on the SX, i would take it.

[@davidrea65]

Seeing Pioneer decided to produce a DDJ-1000SRT for Serato why do they not produce a DDJ-800 for Serato, I have nothing against the Rekordbox software but having used Serato for some time and being comfortable with it, a Serato DDJ-800 would be a sharp move for Pioneer as it would increase the sales of the 800 dramatically for those Serato users that, like me do not need the 4 channels on the 1000SRT, I would by a DDJ-800SRT tomorrow.

[@technofraternity3361]

Labels for the pad mode are not centered!!! Did you notice ?

[@jamiemaher-pringle9736]

Cause it has to small buttons for pages of cues, effects, samples etcetera...

[@GetintheMix]

This is one of the first production models so some things can be a little off, such as those labels in this case :)

[@Frankmeulen]

like with the 1000; don't like the face-plate on the mixer section, very 'finger-print sensitive'

[@dj_paultuk7052]

Unlike Denons where you can adjust the sensitivity on each jog wheel to suit the user. And they are multi touch platters as well. Something Pioneer still cannot do.

[@icsux]

@@dj_paultuk7052 you can do it on the older models, like a XDJ R1

[@GetintheMix]

This is a controller and not a standalone unit and has no usb slot, but the mixer can be used standalone with external decks.

then i have a one another question if you have choice between traktor s4 mk 3 and ddj 800 which one is your prefer ?

[@stnewton12]

Depends on if you prefer traktor or rekordbox. I use traktor so would say s4 although i do think the ddj800 looks more professional and similar to what you would find in every club. But i think it comes down to what software you are using and feel comfortable with

Having 4-channels on a controller has the same benefit as with CDJs. A 4-channel controller has a button on both sides to flick between two decks. (ie. left deck switches between deck 1 & 3).

$699 now

[@BartSch1pper]

I really see no reason for getting this controller. It's not that much more capable than the DDJ-400 for more than 3 times the price. If you'd want to spend close to a grand on a controller anyway just get the DDJ-1000. it's only €200 more expensive and you'll get way better value, 4 channels and cdj style jog wheels.

[@aduken762]

Bart Schipper agree there’s literally no point when you can get the 1000 and have loads of more features

[@nsiac]

Bart Schipper one valid point is to travel lighter. The 1000 is huge. This is smaller and lighter. So there you have your valid point.

[@sopyzation]

I just made this transition. I went from DDJ400 to DDJ 800 and have to say, it´s a different world. Everything... EG, PADs, knobs are way better. EQ is more sensitive. For ex, when I made mix on 400, It was very obvious when i started to killl midle freq., here at 800 is much more smoother and you can do your mixes really without noticing, that you are adjusting EQs. Ofcourse depends, what kind of mix you do. For quick mashup, DDJ 400 do OK, but I play progressive and deep house and really like long transmitions. DDJ800 works for me pretty well and I am super excited from this unit.

[@nsiac]

@@sopyzationAgree with you. I love my DDJ-800. Especially the fact that I can select the FX directly from the controller. And I feel more confident to play on CDJs one day.

[@alexacosta022594]

Well, I’m about to upgrade from 400 to 800 and the main reason I will not buy the 1000 is because, at least, I do not need all the features of the 1000. I am a beginner, and DJing is only a Hobby for me thus I have no reason to spend $200 additional dollars. Also, the size is perfect, is not so big as the 1000 and it makes it very confortable for me to carry it to a party or even my backyard. So, if this is your work, then go for the 1000, but if you only want to have some fun, then go for the 800.

[@househeadspeakz]

Another reason why the DDJ 800 will not do too well. Mobile DJs will not like the fact they can't use the FX when they connect their turntables and use the 800 as the stand alone mixer. This is also the reason I said the $899 price will not be worth it.

[@moltenpros]

Wrong! most mobile dj don't use turntables so it won't bother them.

[@pentavus187]

WTF? pad editor mode i got a 400 FU pioneer

[@MrRrosi]

You know you can edit controller functions in MIDI tab on rekorbox, right? It is a lot more complicated, but you can assign or change functions. I added slip mode, keyboard mode, auto loop, tempo range functions on my Ddj Rb even tho it doesn't have these functions
