Pioneer DDJ-SZ review

[@briggshightower2609]

The pitch is the most badass effect. Create your own risers. Yes please

[@djschoolboy6]

That big jog wheels means a lot if you been working with Pioneer CDJ products for a number of years. One fantastic review of the DDJ-SZ. My friend & dj partner Kool Raul has the Numark NS7-II & he blew my mind, but because of smaller jog wheels it doesn't have that cdj feel that I'm accustom to. You don't look stupid, because of the NS7-II, you know Pioneer wasn't going to take it on chin, they had to comeback strong. It looks like I'm going to transfer my SL-1 loops to Serato DJ. Once again fantastic review on DDJ-SZ. SCHOOL OUT!!!!!!!!!!!

[@djaramriley264]

Jason- with the DVS feature on the sz you can connect 2 cdj's , or 2 turn tables with time code vinyl, or whatever else will work and it will allow you to control serato on those as well. So you can have channels 1&2 on the sz and control channels 3&4 on your tables!

[@nichololawale5580]

omg, what i love most in it is the fact that it can actually work with turn tables, so amazing

[@traybrook]

I just picked this unit up yesterday. I know it’s like 5 years old, but it still outperforms most of the controllers offered today. I found it at Guitar Center, in excellent condition (with 12inch Skinz cover), with tax and 2-year coverage for $700 even with my Pioneer DDJ SR2 trade-in. It also had a Gator flight case. I couldn’t pass that up. This thing is a BEAST. The EFX is gonna take some getting used to but the sound this thing puts out is amazing. Thanks for the in-depth review. Holla.

[@djTLMtv]

Nice! Make sure you upgrade the firmware. I believe that added some features. Look it up first to see what it adds, but I think it added post fader fx and a couple of other things.

[@traybrook]

DJ TLM TV thanks for the advice. I REALLY hope they added post fader features. That’s all this controller needs. I’ll definitely do some research. Much appreciated

[@technologicallyinvolved2757]

By far, this is one the BEST review I have ever seen. Very professional DJ TLM, you have done a wonderful job in this review.

[@djaiglesias]

i'm going to buy next week to put on my pub and for played to :-)

[@shadow7423]

Your reviews are always gold in my opinion. Thank you DJTLM!

[@DJLOW305]

Thank bro, I learned alot from this video. I went and got the ddj-sz and I must say I really love this controler. I do lots of mobile dj gigs and this so much eaiser and much lighter then technics lol. I’ve had it since last December 2014 and its been great for all my gigs. Thanks again.

[@JRJames-fr7bk]

Thanks, dude. Do your thing. I can not wait until this is sold in Austin, Texas. Stoked.

[@djTLMtv]

Hi guys, I've been extremely busy with different projects, gigs and private life and as a result I was not able to make new video's in the last two weeks. I'm back in the lab right now and the new video's are dropping asap! Thanks for the support and patience. TLM

[@yousefi_ali]

what happened with the new video ?

[@wediditjoe]

Thankssss, wanted to see this big boy in action and nobody better than you DJ TLM :)

[@naysiploos]

Great review once again TLM! This controller is amazing and the only reason for me to change from traktor to serato dj! It is the pro feel you get with this unit as you mentioned and all the features... very cool unit!

[@MrDnybrasco73]

Definetly getting one. I ll be upgrading from the NS6 to this one. Thanks for the review!

[@ashwinchiba2856]

very cool love the fact that it works with DVS (digital vinyl system)

[@welcomeiamdjcivil8319]

The new needle feature just gave me life...geez accidentally skipping through the track on the SX is a horrible mistake I've made...thanks pioneer

[@gregterry1324]

ohhhhh this is nice

[@P4boot]

😂 don't thank them! They created a solution to a problem they created! Hehe

[@djTLMtv]

Hi guys, Due to health issues I couldn't finish video's I was working on (NS7-2 review) and I can't record new video's either. I lost my voice over the weekend and that makes it a bit difficult to record stuff ;) I should be fine in a couple of days so stay tuned! For the DJ's who would like to be part of the Saturday Super Session: Join the Saturday Super Session and send me your own video!

[@ashwinchiba2856]

Hi dj tlm just curious in your review you said you can add on cd players or turntables if you add on turntables do serato timecoded vinyl work in with the controller ?

[@djTLMtv]

Yes, just plug your turntables into the SZ and then you can use your control vinyl to control two decks and the jogwheels on the SZ to control the other two decks

[@ashwinchiba2856]

djTLMtv

[@aqaz120]

Can you really connect cdj 2000s?

[@lorigeiger1317]

hope you arent that sick again, your videos help cuz you go in depth with detail. good work man.

[@digznantelle]

I love this controller glad i held out for the sz instead of grabbing the sx2... this is my first controller. I am real old skool and usually only my 1200s but i bought this to teach my 8 year old how to dj (since he loves music) and found this way easier then him hurting the technics

[@Controvi]

I got the DDJ-SZ almost a week ago and it is really really awesome! I had my first controller before it (mixtrack pro) and now this.... I'm really out of words to describe it. And now that I got this one People are saying my mixes sound better now :) So yeah I hope to get into a club sometime soon :) but people I play for live on mixify are telling me my mixes sound awesome :D

[@simon4shizzle]

DJ TLM, regarding your comment on the lack of sharpness of the crossfader at the 16:30 min mark, I did some research on the full version of the manual. Pioneer has the crossfader set to a factory setting of a value of 6 out of 52(or something like that) and can be adjusted down to 0. This adjustment is under the "utilities mode configuration" in the full manual on pg. 26 section title is crossfader lag I believe.... (BTW the full manual is available online but the unit comes with only a basic edition of the manual, which only has 6 pages less, weird LOL). But this should resolve your concern about the gap in the fader for you!

[@djTLMtv]

Thanks! I should have the unit back here when I get the NS7-2 and I will see if I can fix that.

[@LittyJonez]

Your videos are awesome man!! This demonstration was better than any demonstration that they did at NAMM or any other dj expo!!! Keep up the good work bro!!!

[@DA22YLM]

Did you know you can change the cut point of the crossfader in the settings. Its in pg24-26 of the manual. Hopefully thatll sharpen the fader up for you, it worked for me! Great videos keep up the good work

[@djTLMtv]

darryl mcerlean Yes, someone told me about it. I didn't get the chance to try it, but I've heard it from a couple of people and it works

[@amyinthesky]

Thank you for the thorough and clear review! I was curious to know more about the magvel fader in the SZ, and I appreciate your explanation on it!

[@djrex2988]

Awesome review djTLM!!! Helps me a lot!!!

[@astrale]

I like how it detects your hand!

[@DJ0rlando]

Thank you for your input ! Keep up the great work you do!

[@kerwinlacaille1394]

thank u fro making this video. it really did help me out. i just bought a ddjsz and needed a little teaching about it. and i would say ses your video made me a better dj

[@DJTReinOkinawa]

Very informative unbiased review. Good job.

[@GoonT520]

Man this is the best review around!! Can you do a review for the SB and SR?

[@djcharliex]

thank you so much for this info. i just got this controller and i was having a hard time trying to figure it out how to make it work and finding the use of the new features ... now i know how to use it and take full control of the unit!!!

[@karhok]

Thanks, Very good review...SZ..coming my table next week.

[@LotsaCabo]

Outstanding video! Just a bit of info, in case it ever helps someone. The "conductive touch" is basically "capacitive sensing" (the same as on a touchscreen). Basically, both the platter and the human body have a certain amount of capacitance. When one comes in contact with the other, this "normal" measurement changes. The circuitry senses this change and reacts. There are several other objects you could probably use in place of your hand (for example, styluses or gloves made for touch screens) that would allow you to keep your hands protected from the elements (in case of an outdoor gig) but still pass the capacitance to the jog wheel.

[@wayneadsetts2135]

Hey man you should be working for pioneer that was by far the best presentation of the ddj sz i have seen, thanks

[@danieldagreat1]

NOW 2020 and I’m still waiting on the SZ3

[@djmaverick]

Looks great. Thanks for the review!

[@rashananiyahgy7597]

It’s really one of the best mixers out there

[@cleats1]

Great review. You answered my biggest question about the fader cut in. I know you know your stuff and scratch guys will know where your coming from. I'm like you and prefer a really sharp cut in on the fader. Thanks for the review

[@jeffreychristopher5619]

Thank you for the thorough and clear review! Extremely helpful .

[@MixwellEventsOrlandPark]

Awesome Review. Thanks for taking the time to break it down. I can see this controller in my house very soon. =) Stay In the mix!

[@KKHollywood85]

I just purchased the Numark NS7 MkII how does this compare to that? They both seem very similar. I know a lot of people lean towards Pioneer because it is an industry standard, but the Numark's motorized platter is amazing. Will you be doing a review soon? I just need to know which one is better. Very tough decision because they are very similar.

[@MHSG31566]

Great review as always, thank you very much for the tips, waiting for my .... Already order, just in backorder status

[@strictlyvintagebasketball354]

Man I'm late as hell messing with the Numark 4trak and you so friggin' cool when you make these vids I'm moving on up to pioneer ! Thanks bro 100% LOL! You even have cold ass body language when you hit a button LOL! You make it look nice as heck ! Thanks and God bless from Chicago (Englewood) !

[@Bamariku]

good video! the dvs jog-display gimmick is very cool. i bought the SX and will stay with it, cause its nice too and not sooo huge. but the SZ, of course, is a real beast! pioneer at its best :)

[@OnnoKaell]

Great Review! Now let's hope that Native Instruments comes out a new beast of controller to match this one for all us Traktor Users! - Oh and just to add sth. to what you said about the crossfader compared to the one used in the DJM 900: => Eventhough the DJM 900 is not a battle/scratch mixer they changed the crossfader in the SRT Version (which I'm guessing you are using) and it is now the same as used in the DJM-T1 f.ex: "High-performance faders “MAGVEL CROSS FADER” for enhanced durability and operability"! The "normal" (Traktor Scratch Certified) DJM 900 had a different / "worse" crossfader! :(

[@djTLMtv]

Yup, I have the DJM900SRT. The fader in the DDJ-SZ is a Magvel cross fader too, but the curve just isn't as sharp as the one on my 900SRT. Thanks for the info! You're right, Native Instruments should step their game up and add a full size controller similar to the NS7-2 and DDJ-SZ to their line-up

[@mattfox3600]

Great review! Do you reccomand this controller only, or more for scratch and hip hop dj's or it's good for other kind of dj's and music?

[@djTLMtv]

Wait for my NS7-2 review and my DDJ-SX vs NS7-2 comparison video

[@StevenSavoy]

Excellent job and very thorough! Thanks bro

[@djTLMtv]

+Steven Savoy thanks

[@slisgrinder]

I know that this review has been a while since uploading but its capacitive touch, not heat. Just like your iphone and most other smart phones, it uses capacitive touch. Try using those special skiing gloves or something that advertise the ability to use phones and it will work on the joggers. Great review by the way...

[@SS71211]

Excellentt review , I'm sold !

[@djaiglesias]

very original review…i'm just liked

[@gearjunkies]

Very good and very clear review! Love it!

[@djTLMtv]

Thanks!

[@simon4shizzle]

DJ TLM, another important question. Please look at the 20 minute mark, on deck 4, the marker rotates and jumpes a full half circle around, yet no cue buttons were pushed. Was this a technical bug? That is to say, I noticed the marker was jumping a lot. Thank you for being the first to demo this unit outside of pioneer.

[@djTLMtv]

Yes, the marker always starts at the top with every new cue point. even if you don't trigger the cue points. In this case the beat had a cue point at the first kick, the next hi hat and the first snare. So that's 3 cue points in a row within the first 2 seconds of the track. That's why it was skipping so that is normal

[@simon4shizzle]

djTLMtv thank you for the explanation dj TLM!

[@simon4shizzle]

actually, I noticed, the mark jumped to the 3'o clock marker. hmm. I'll find out what's going on when the unit gets shipped out here in the states. thanks again.

[@gibbee1]

Always thorough in the reviews brother. Thanks for the indepth review.

[@Schmickoh]

Would you recommend the DDJ-SZ or the XDJ-RX? thanks for all the great videos and information!!

[@arthurmuhammad6381]

Great tutorial. It was the best that I have seen.

[@e11world]

Really nice video. I hope that Poineer updates Serato to include the color pads, some secondary pads functions and a couple of oscillator effects somehow. I just bought my DDJ-SX updating from a Numark Mixdeck but I think because of the size, I don't know if I'll take my new SX back. I think I may keep it and hope for updates for serato.

[@derinjturner]

two extra vinyl decks.i love that.

[@illz09]

Amazing review man, thank you! Disappointed about the fader - but like you said hopefully a firmware update fixes the curve a bit better....or maybe some way to fit an innofader in there.

[@djTLMtv]

I see that (innofader) happening sooner or later. They managed to make versions for a lot of different mixers, including some Pioneer mixers. That would be a very good solution for sure

[@UnderiaMusic]

djTLMtv that´s sad .. .i´m really missing it on my SX :(

[@surfobsessed]

Great tutorial djTLMtv. With regard to the sound quality, does the DDJ-SX provide the same output quality as the SZ, and how do they compare to the industry standard DJM 900's? The reason I ask is that I would much rather use a controller than the CDJ's/DJM setup, but not if it comes at a cost to live Sound quality...

[@djTLMtv]

I wasn't able to compare the sound quality so I'm not sure if it't the same as a DJM900

[@SunkaWicasa]

Imo djm900 cdj 2000 sounds better but ddj sz its an amazing controller Ddjsx sounds imo louder than ddj sz but less detailed Take care

[@afk1448]

Brother Wolf Glenn Smith djTLMtv If you look at the tech specs of both the SX and SZ and dim 900 nxs and CDJ 2000 nxs. The SZ features all the exact same audio chips as the djm900 and cdj 2000. Meaning it should have identical, if not better sound quality, due to the fact the SZ does not have RCA (unbalanced) cables running from the cdjs to the djm (these RCA or 'phono' cables can cause noise and low level harmonic distortion) As for the SX it has lower quality sound cards than the SZ and Nexus equipment and most likely less headroom on the master channel.

[@SunkaWicasa]

Yup but IMO and what my ears heard djm900 cdj2000 sounds way better Ddj sz sounded to me like a djm 750

[@vidafugaz]

Great review! Thanks!

[@DjConstantin]

Very nice review man. But one thing i think you can get the same "sharpness" with the CDJs if you lower the sample rate.

[@EWhitehouse]

Thank you for a quality review

[@badtzlotus]

Great review! exactly what I want to know about it compared to my ddjsx

[@gymarines]

Feel better!! I just bought this one and like always, you are very thorough in your videos and they are awesome. I started watching your videos when I got my Numark N7II 3 years ago. Great job like always!!

[@trinajska]

Awesome video man,i have one question. Is it really worth the money or is it better to go with the sx/ns7 2...i know all the ups and downs of every one of these,i would just like to know like realisticly is it overpriced. Thanks

[@djTLMtv]

trinajska It's a lot of money man. Maybe you should wait for the SX2 and compare that to the SZ. NS7II is a different story. If you want moving platters there's no better option than the NS7II

[@traktortips]

Nice work man!

[@EEZAL]

Great review man .. Covered everything .. I've got the ddj sx and will stick with it for awhile bit those added features have solved all the things I'm not to keen in about the ddj sx .. I've hit the touch strip a few times mid track .. Not good .. Plus the built in serato sound card for time code mixing ... Man I wish the ddj sx had those 2 features .. .. Nice bright 90's on the shelf too brother .. I'm an Air Max 1 (87) fan myself though !

[@Deloin]

I looked forward to a model like this one! Great review and u pointed out a very import part "the crossfader" For me that would hold me back to buying one. Is there any news on some sort of "innofader" that would/could fit in DDJ-SZ?

[@illz09]

I emailed sales@innofader and the reply I got was that the new innnofader mini pnp should fit!

[@Deloin]

Ah :) Good news!! Thx

[@djglamourd]

Hey TLM!! Great review as always bro ... If you were to compare with the Numark NS7II, would you say this is better than the NS7II? Also, I noticed you didn't mention sound quality: I'm assuming you didn't because there's no need to because of Pioneer's legendary sound quality and this unit is no exception? Also, what's the name of the track you used at about the 7-8 minute mark of the video ... Thanks

[@Frankmeulen]

@TLM, I had a DDJ-SR and some other controllers in the past to use it at private parties with some friends, it is ok and fun to play with. My current setup is a Xone DB4 and 2- K2 controllers but I miss the fun using the Jog wheels -> real mixing. There are no single deck MIDI players on the market at the moment or you have to buy CDJ or XDJ 1000 players. The thing is, I prefer to use a laptop with Traktor, it never let me down because I take care of my laptop. I'm curious: Is there a significant sound quality difference on the output of the DDJ -SZ (or nowadays DDJ RZ) and the popular DJ mixers like DJM nexus or Xone mixers? Most tracks I have are AIFF format.....

[@ladjkaoz]

Great review bro.. fron all your waz the best thanks

[@prestigebliss]

Great review from a purist! Nice.. I pre-ordered mine i cant wait.

[@koreamedia]

Hello, how are you doing? I love all of your videos. You are like my teacher for Djing. I watched youtube dj videos too much and now I'm thinking buying an equipment. It is a first time. Dj is not gonna be my professional job for future, maybe some internet radio stuff would do it, or some sound effects for my iOS app development. Do you think is this ddj-sz proper to me? Or should I buy cheaper n space-friendly one, like ddj-sx2?

[@Shineboie]

I think I'm going to go with the ns72. You have turntables there. I'm surprised you haven't done the same.

[@djTLMtv]

I have the NS7. I will have the NS7-2 here this wednesday for a review!

[@DJSPINtel]

djTLMtv when you get the ns7 2 will you let me know if you can integrate the turntables with Serato like you did with this DDJ SX? That is a critical piece of info to know! Thanks for all and any help

[@FiSHY4D]

I would in fact love the effects that are on the SZ over the SX, but hey, i saved $1000 lol Great review!

[@mrphreeze]

Yeah, I'm SOLD fam ,,, can't wait to cop this unit ...

[@djmanj4061]

Once again a good review. Thank you. But can't afford this. Happy with my brand new SX

[@djTLMtv]

And you should be. The SX is great!

[@blkscorp]

Awesome review. Question when you connected your turntables, did you connect them to the DDJ-SZ without a Serato Box. Wasn't sure how you were able to use them. Thanks

[@wayneadsetts2135]

Hey man you should be working for pioneer that was by far the presentation of the ddj sz that i have seen, thanks

[@ragekillaz]

great video, thanks for posting it. when you add your turntables as DVS decks, do you need to run them though an SL2 or does the sound card inside the DDJ-SZ do it all?

[@djTLMtv]

dave k The SZ does it all so you do not need an SL interface. Just plug straight into the SZ and you are good to go

[@djaramriley264]

Awesome review! May I ask what track you were using for this demo? I can't wait to buy my SZ!!

[@Acxel84]

djTLMtv Hello mate, I have a question, have you heard about mapping that dj controller for a traktor, but not having any issues like the DDJ-SX with the firmware, jog wheels and even the audio. Partner, I'd appreciate your response and thanks in advance. Have a great Easter!

[@djTLMtv]

Davigol CG I haven't heard about any issues, but I think you should check djtechtools. They are into Traktor and should know more about this

[@Acxel84]

Thanks so much for replying back and for everything that you do for the DJ community. God Bless you mate.

[@dmoy81]

Nice and thanks for ur review..

[@DJABEATZ]

What an amazing review. Thank you. I think this is the one that sealed the deal. I own the SX, but it's time to step up to the SZ. I was just on the fence cuz of the size. Anyone know the extact dimensions of the hard case that would carry this thing?

[@beatjinx9339]

When I saw the DDJ-SZ was announced I saw a solution to a problem that I've been having, buying a new pioneer setup without getting served divorce papers. My question, is the DDJ-SZ a close enough substitute for those on a "budget" (budget meaning I have 2 grand to spend but not 3.5+). This is for home/house party/recording mixes. The DDJ-SX looked nice but after playing with it was just to small for me and my gorilla like hands

[@tr4gik11]

Dude I love your videos, such a great vibe you have. So you don't need a serato box with this like you do with the DDJSX to play dvs? Do you know when this hits the stores? Cheers

[@djkrayze09]

Great job on this review, I wanted to ask you did you check the back of the unit too see if it has a removable fader plate? Does it have any way of changing the fade? I didn't like any of the other models from the DDJ's because of the faders. I own a VCI400 and just upgraded the crossfader to a cf-x2 from Vestax, you can also install this fader into a ddjsx. I had the same problem you noticed on the crossfader with the VCI400 until I changed the fader. Now my VCI feels good, I hope this issues gets fix or it gets a nice update .

[@djTLMtv]

I didn't check, but it should be possible. I know Inno fader has a fader for the DDJ-SX so the SZ will probably follow.

[@ginoblak]

Yo...I spoke to Felix...he just found out Rob died 4 years ago...he o.d on drugs...mad sad sun Sent from my MetroPCS 4G Android device

[@DJSH98989]

Great review,what do you think for pro mobile Dj,this or the numark ns7 2.

[@djTLMtv]

I think both units would be great, but I will have my hands on experience with the NS7-2 in a week or so. After that I could give you my choice, but it depends on what you like/need. If you are used to working with Pioneer equipment then I think the DDJ-SZ will feel more familiar to work with. If you know that you would like to be able to do a lot of turntablism stuff then the NS7-2 will be the better choice for sure. I'm doing a full comparison video with the two in a week or two, but as far as functionality they do have a lot in common.

[@hfmnando1]

Hi Dj TLM nice video... thanks a lot it helps to understand the functions. Im actually considering to buy the sz or the sx2... what would be your recommendation... money is not a problem. I being a Dj for a few years and now I am starting my professional carrier as a Dj. sometimes I play with vinyl's but to be honest I'm still learning the scratching part... I play in clubs and also do a lot of private parties.... any suggestion

[@djTLMtv]

hfmnando1 You need to go try both in the store so you can see which one feels better. Some people will prefer the large size of the SZ and others feel better with the smaller SX2.

[@NextLevelFunds]

djTLMtv which stores can you go to to test different controllers?

[@tomrosselle9747]

just bought the new sz 2 and its great with serato

[@golombardo]

Great review thank you very much. Do you know if you can put a USB stick with your music on and play like on the CDJ 2000's? What about recording old vinyl to digital, is this easy on this unit? I know on the DJM 350 you can just put in a USB and record your set in wav format...

[@Tdoe]

Went to a Sam Ash music store here in California with intents of purchasing a NS7II, it was in a box and could not be played with, they had this here the DDJ SZ to mess around with and oh man what a nice toy! I have been wanting to dj and mess with music my whole life, and since 17 (23 now) I have wanted some turntables and a mixer to play with. Since then, I have only had virtual dj on my mac to play with.... Now that I can get an actual physical controller, I need help with one to choose!! I love mixing music, I love the art of scratching and feel of it. People have said to start with something cheaper and work my way up. But, I would hate to regret a purchase when there is better tech out there! I am not sure what is the newest or best machine out right now, but I have the NS7 II and this SZ in mind. What can you recommend for me? Is there anything newer than these? Is there something in between? Are each the bang for their buck? I would love to purchase what is at the top of the line in this type of technology. Any response little or big can help? Ill take comments for anyone! Thank You!! p.s I might post this on a newer video if you dont mind, just to capture a diff audience.

[@DJJRCO]

teevela I got the NS7II as well as the first gen NS7 and 2 V7s and love the feedback of the spinning vinyl. The NS7II, ddjsx2 and ddj-sz are like the top controllers right now. The pioneers are nice but i preferred the moving platters vs static ones. It's all about personal preference and some cases budget. I plan on getting the SZ2 which will eventually come out. Companies like Numark & Pioneer are putting out new controllers like how Apple are releasing iPhones each year.

[@Soulfrica_Vibecast]

My brother quick question? so I understand you could use the controller with Traktor as well and are you planning on doing a demo? Lastly if you wanted to include a RMX-1000 on this type of setup, can you do it? is that possible? how would that work without a return / send? Please advise! Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@DJ-OFRA]

Thanks for the DVS inputs!! Wondering if it's comfortable scratching on turntables with them being far from the mixer...?

[@jughead6654]

Awesome review man. One question though. In your honest opinion, is the SZ really worth the money in comparison to the SX2? is the SZ really that much better?

[@djTLMtv]

DJ JUGZ No, it's not that much better. This is all about personal preference. The size makes it feel more like a set of cdj's with a mixer and for some people that can be important. The SX2 packs a lot of the same features in a smaller package.

[@jughead6654]

Thank you for the reply

[@briggshightower2609]

DJ JUGZ I would say depends on what type of crowds you play at what venues and what genre of music. Electronic music this puppy is definitely worth it. Hip Hop go Vinyl. Just my opinion though.

[@simon4shizzle]

DJ TLM, I saw another DDJ-SZ video posted yesterday by kross321, showing that the jogwheels have issues detecting "soft" touches (close proximity touching) - if you search for the youtube user kross321 + ddj-sz. I'm wondering if you still have the unit, if you can test it out too? Thanks!

[@djTLMtv]

I will have that unit here again soon for a comparison video so I will look into that. Thanks for the tip

[@thedude1744]

Thank you !!!!! DJ TLMtv

[@TheRickJames]

This is a very good review!

[@TheGemsa]

Thank you!!! Best review i ve seen =)

[@beatzandwheels]

Nice review! But Im waiting for the Numark NS7 II review! Are you doing one anytime soon or have I missed it somehow? Greez

[@djTLMtv]

Yup, waiting for the unit. They had to order a new review unit because some reviewer damaged the last one ;)

[@beatzandwheels]

Damn ;) Im really looking forward to that review. Please consider comparing the new unit with the Numark NS7 mk I. Theres alot of mk I units floating around for a really good price, so Im thinking about whether I should get one of the older Units for cheap or get the new one.. but besides the performance pads Im not to keen on the new one having a 4-channel mixer section, because I really dont need 4 channels to mix, and the unit itself is even bigger and heavier than the "old" one. I would love to see vestax making a vestax vci 380-like controller with motorized platter though! Could you also make a turntableist mix on the vestax vci 380? That would be another alternative for me ;) Greetings from Switzerland, keep up the good work TLM!
