I think the difference is simple. The 200 is the type of controller you can take hiking to a mountain top so you can film yourself mixing and scratching. The 400 is one that you can potentially take to a gig.

DDJ 200 is more than perfect as a backup controller and an absolute option in terms of portability. For beginner DJs too it can work wonders to learn the basics before investing into an expensive gear. I personally use the DDJ SX for my gigs and carry the 200 for house parties or for DJing on the go. It’s fun. 🥳

I’ve a DDJ400, it runs very well, and mostly if you’re a beginner that’s a total deal to understand basics using an advanced device. Price accordingly way more reasonable for a startup machine. Would say best for the value. DDJ200’s might be good for get togethers and school functions. If you just wanna listen to your favorite tracks and play with em. Rekordbox is kinda messy for beginners but once you get your hands on it no turning back.

[@quagmiredon]

I've been mixing wit 12 10s for 27 years. I bought a 200 for my kitchen and it the best thing I've bought in years. Highly recommend

[@djcarlo]

Absolutely Maz! Especially if you're just looking to enjoy some quick music

[@XryankX]

I just started out mixing on my DDJ 200 and pairing it with a touchscreen capable laptop and rekordbox definitely allows it go toe to toe with the 400, as the features missing from the controller deck are replaced with buttons that are only a foot away on my screen. The only downside I can see is the missing soundcard and RCA outputs, but with an extra USB sound card ($20) the problem of the mono split cable is easily solved. Obviously, if you are planning to take this to a club or another professional setting, you might run into some issues setting up your audio with their PA, but in my opinion the quality and adaptability of your skills as a DJ far outweigh the need for expensive hardware.

So, I WAS going to get the DDJ-400, but someone bought me a Numark NV II. Based upon your review here, I would absolutely spend the extra 100 dollars and get the DDJ-400 instead of the DDJ-200. After this review, I am not all that convinced that the cheap Numark Mixtrack controllers would not be a better solution than the DDJ-200. I know Pioneer is your sponsor and you do your best to support their products, but seeing how much additional you can/will possibly spend after the initial purchase of the DDJ-200, I would not recommend it to a beginner who is even half way serious. Great video as always! I just got my second booking and have not even played my first! To new people just getting going.... Take time to talk to the bar or club owners. Be honest and be humble. You will get the gigs. And for the love of Pete, when playing bars and clubs, frequently remind the patrons to tip the people serving them. This will go a LONG way in building a positive relationship with you and that particular bar or club. Don't be annoying about it, but be sure and do it at least once per set, if you can.

And slightly bigger pads (it could be slightly bigger overall)... Though I guess it will never happen because it would significally cut demand for all those more expensive gears like DDJ-1000 SRT.

I sell A cdj 400 for 125

[@Adrian50089]

The 400, it's a great beginner controller, but can let you advance with its addition features 👍

[@Fuxi]

Can you take little samples from other songs and change them up a bit? And can you literally create your own sounds? 🙏🏽

[@N0D3X_Dubstep]

I have a numark mixtrack pro fx and its not exactly the most portable thing so im thinking about getting a ddj 200 so i can take it anywhere.

[@djcarlo]

The Mixtrack Pro itself is actually pretty amazing!

[@N0D3X_Dubstep]

@@djcarlo It Really is! and would def stay my main for events and at home practice but i do want a ddj 200 So i can Practice While i wait for school to start in the cafeteria and not take half of the table 😅 also its alot lighter so im not carrying much weight.

[@dillonyakub3428]

Thanks man 🎶😎🎶

[@djcarlo]

For sure! Hope you found the review useful

[@buddhimmi]

Long waited for this comparison from you DJ Carlo Atendido

[@DJDRFUNKJUICE]

This was a great video I will share this with few up coming DJ's who want to be a DJ and really want to get into DJing asap. Keep up the work Funk Up Salute

[@andred.official]

I like ddj-200

[@andred.official]

@@djcarlo i don't have ddj-200 , but..I see (this dj controller) and..it's AMAZING for beginers

[@Edwinbraun20]

I agree but 200 is smaller and can be used with music streaming apps. Music streaming is a huge thing coz I wouldn’t want to collect music on physical hard drives. So I think I would go for 200 instead. More mobile and future proof in my opinion

[@Eijnk]

Can you do a comparison of the ddj-rb and ddj-400 pleaseee. I can't decide what should i buy. Love your vidss man you're an inspiration to all beginner djs

[@EddyGraphic]

If you can get the extra $100 I highly recommended you get the DDJ-400 since it can now do what the DDJ-200 can which is connect to a mobile device like an iPad or iPhone and much more.

[@dweltmusic]

What i love about my DDJ-RR is that i can preselect 6 FX (3 per deck) its a great feature about it. The only thing i would say is not so good about it is the looping section kinda looks complicated and the in out buttons are tiny but it works.

[@djhannajosh2809]

the mixer i have is ddj sx3 my first begginer dj controler was numark party mix

[@djcarlo]

Nice! Let us know how it goes for you!

[@dragonheatbeats9944]

I have my eyes set on the Denon sc live 4… but before I go all out, I wanted something to control my edjing pro app on my iPad Pro…that is why I am interested in the 200… this way I can practice on the go, have a decent amount of control/buttons/knobs etc…and when I get better and eventually outgrow it, I can move on to something like the Denon sc live 4…I feel that is the responsible thing to do…although my “gear lust” has me wanting the live 4, bad 😂

[@djcarlo]

That's one way to do it! Start off lighter, then go hard later on after making some extra bucks! Hahaha

[@dragonheatbeats9944]

@@djcarlo I ended up purchasing the Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500, which arrives today, I'm excited. I already downloaded and printed out the manual and read it from front to back and made highlights on important stuff. I am ready haha, your videos are awesome by the way, you and a few other channels are my main source for all my DJ info, thank you.

[@TL-_-Edits]

I like the Behringer CMD Studio 2A DJ MIDI-controller

[@TL-_-Edits]

DJ Carlo Atendido Thanks

[@brunow.3395]

DDJ 400 or the hercules Inpulse 300? For a beginner what do i need to get?

[@djcarlo]

Go for the 300 now! The 400 has been discontinued

[@LadyOfWater]

Thanks for your helpful vids Kuya Carlo! I'll be following to learn more :) If it helps anyone else in Europe, I went ahead and ordered the DDJ 200. While I was all in on the DDJ 400 there has been no stock since maybe March/April? And the current delay is pushed into August (for my country at least). However, the 200 looks super fun and solid for absolute beginners like me to learn the basics. But both are such good prices that I would consider still saving and getting the 400 whenever it reappears!

[@vannahgraceful4079]

And my dad is has got the DDJ 200 and it didn’t come yet so It comes tomorrow and Santa bought a case for it

[@davedabrave]

very good and informative video as always. my mom wants me to be a doctor but I want to be a dj i think i will buy the 400 when i get the money

[@yasas68]

ddj 400 best for learning

[@fungableug5355]

Ddj 400 I think is so perfect With its software

[@djcarlo]

Good for you if that works! Cheers!

[@hot4futureyears2come]

I have a full tutntable DVS set which is my main baby, but my ddj400 back up is awesome. I used it at 4 gigs this year (gig was low paying) and it is great, used it with the xp1. also the ddj400 can be used with djay, on ios

[@propergander1162]

Great videos Carlos 👍👍👍

[@brucee__5343]

i really want the ddj 400 but here in australia it cost like 700-800 dollars but the ddj200 cost 269 AUD

[@djcarlo]

Yowza! Best to find an alternative to the DDJ400 mate. Maybe go for the FLX4?

[@donnamilliard8187]

I’m thinking about getting the 200

[@djcarlo]

Oh! You can check my other videos about beginner level controllers too!

[@pokingthepast7629]

I’m a beginner to DJing and after watching this video I’ve decided to buy the ddj400 because it’s bigger better not to simple and not just a cheaply made toy to have fun on the only thing that I am a bit iffy about is that the 200 has a tutorial and the 400 doesn’t

[@djcarlo]

Woot! Thanks! There’s a bunch of DDJ 400 tutorials in my channel that you can enjoy! Cheers!
