Only seconds into the video and I have to thank you for holding it up next to you. It clearly shows the size of the unit. No other review had that and that is what I was looking for...not just hands on the mixer.

Got the DDJ-SX about a month ago and I can't recommend it enough. It's pretty much the best controller available ATM, and I've tried most of them (S4 not even close, NS7 not impressed, the rest are mostly toys). The amount of thought pioneer put into this controller is mind boggling... Love it.

With the S2 I was DJing in clubs within 3-4 months. Not even joking, it's really that intuitive and well-built. It has yet to break down on me (knock on wood) despite sustaining indirect beer spills on multiple occasions. Can't speak for the S4 cos I'd rather save for a DJM and CDJs but I'm told it's the S2 with more decks, which I'd imagine is ungodly awesome

I got a comparison question about the Numark 4trak and the Pioneer DDJ-SX. I want to get into scratching but I want to do it on a controller instead of vinyl. Even though the DDJ-SX has some more features than the 4Trak which unite felt better to scratch on? Also the cut in time looks like it's the same when the fader is set to its sharpest setting, but was the virtual needle on the SX's platter more helpful or comparable to the revolving light on the 4Trak?

kynlin flagg If you are on a Windows machine, make sure you have your drivers setup correctly and you download the latest driver from the Pioneer DJ website. then restart Serato DJ and the DDJ-SX should be recognized when connected via USB. Make sure you have the power connected and also try another USB port on the computer to see if it helps.

If the speakers are powered, then you don't need an amp, but if they are non powered, then you need an amp. It doesn't matter what size you get as long as they play good for you. You only need bigger speakers for if you are playing a party.

I am impressed with the DDJ-SX with all the features it has, my only concern is its sturdyness, The unit is contructed out of durable plastic and not having a case around it seems like it would get damaged easily, The numark NS7 (2) that is due to release is a BEAST and made to last, and has "Touch" sensitive controls. How will the DDJ-SX stand up to it?

The DDJ-SX2 is the new updated version of this that has the standalone mixer option with the DVS timecode and CD option as well so you can connect CDJ's and Vinyl turntables to play back Digital tracks within Serato. The Terminal Mix 8 is tight too and I also reviewed that on the channel. Check it out as well. I would say the DDJ-SX2 has some cool new features, so I would get that over the TM8, but they both get the job done.
