DDJ - SX vs. Z2

[jprime]

DDJ - SX for sure. Looks like a great unit.

Laptops are a pain in the ass now? Way more convenient than a book of CDs or crate of vinyl.

Yes. But not as convenient as a USB thumbdrive or an Ipad.

i am exactly in the middle between getting the xdj-aero now or the ddj-SX

i already have a setup of rane ttm-56s, TSP (audio6) and X1 + maschine

when i play out in the clubs its a massive pain to setup timecode CDs, coz usually the dj before me or after me either use rekordbox usb or use Serato, so we always have to unhook - rehook the stuff after everyone plays, its often dark, and sometimes things get weird when you had a drink or two, so i really wanna get into rekordbox so i can just plug and play

the thing with the DDJSX is that its so big that i am unlikely to bring it out, so basically when i jam at home and outside it will be different system and different software, thats what keeping me from getting the ddj-sx when it comes out - it looks great but its not so practical for bringing out

the ddj-aero's rekordbox thing is really handy, coz basically i can jam at home with the rekordbox usb's and use the very same thumb drives to play out coz all the clubs these days have either the 900s/2000s (at least over here)

Why not just buy whatever you want for home, and then just make a Rekordbox drive for playing out.

Come to think of it, why have you been shortening the booth manager's lifespan by not having a Rekordbox drive already?

I think the SX its sick! being able to run turntable, which im sure means you can use serato control records makes this an amazing product for me. 4 deck control with the mix of turntables and controller! epic! Plus sp6. theres no need for the bridge.

Don't think this will be an option off the hop with seratoDJ

Get Rekord Buddy from the app store you can export/sync your playlists from Traktor to Rekordbox it will store your cue points as memory cues in rekordbox. That way you can continu using Traktor and have the same libery for Rekordbox for when you just want to bring a thump drive

I'm much more for the DDJ SX it's big yes but what I'm bringing out now is eeven bigger. I'll try out Serato DJ but will map it to Traktor as it's my wepon of choice.

Nice mate. Not that I need to defend myself however I have a residency and play at every club in my city. I appreciate you pessimism, I mean my 3 posts to your 703 does make me look rather new to this, however I have DJ around New Zealand and even spent a winter season DJ in Whistler in Canada. I didnt wash in with the rain yesterday "loverocket". Oh an congrats on your new friends request. Must be stock being the only one and all.
