DDJ SX vs CDJ

I never said it was more convenient. Just said it's not cheating.

The DDJ SX is near enough to a CDJ setup for practice given the large platters, pitch faders, and similar button layout.

You might want to cover/disable the waveforms so you don't get distracted from beatmatching manually (use Library display mode on Serato).

Nothing except CDJs will substitute for CDJs. The SX is damn close, but the SX is nice enough that you'll want to take it to clubs to show people, and if they're gonna laugh you out because of your amazing controller then you need to find new DJ friends with open minds.

Thanks guys, I think I'll go with the DDJ, sounds like the best decision.

I think getting the DDJ and not having an SL box for the club is kind of dumb.

Why would you use two separate libraries for one task?

Either get two 850s+a mixer, or a DDJ and a used SL.

Because the SX is much cheaper, and Rekordbox USB is better+more convenient than timecode.
