Hi guys,
I currently own a cheaper controller that is linked to Serato on my laptop. My intentions are now to go higher-end and invest in something that will be better in the long run. Based on my budget and after long hours of reading/YouTubing, I narrowed it down to 2: the XDJ-RX and the DDJ-RX. I find it really hard to make a decision and I am hoping you guys can help.
I understand that going with either option will oblige me to switch to Rekordbox, but I am actually looking forward to it. From what I've heard, RB is pretty mature right now and really stable.
Basically, my goal is to have a setup that mimics a club environment as much as possible, without having to pay the high price of CDJs + DJM. I am looking for something portable as I sometimes bring my setup in the train with me to mix at friends' parties.
I realise that the DDJ has 4 decks EQ control, but I am actually very happy with using just 2. Having the option in case is obviously still nice and it does feel more "pro"... The screen on the XDJ makes me envious and I believe would make me almost feel like having CDJs. For the laptop part, I do not mind having to use mine with the DDJ, but not having to unplug my computer and move it across my apartment to mix would be a plus. There are a few things that annoy me here and there on each model, but nothing of great importance.
Which one would you buy or recommend?
