Introducing the Pioneer DDJ-SB

Introducing the Pioneer DDJ-SB

Although i’m not a Serato user, Pioneer has me curious to give it a go with their new line up of controllers. And they just added this one. It’s never been more clear that Serato/Pioneer are serious about the all in one controller market. What are your thoughts on these units?

I mean i’m kind of with Traktor now in terms of work flow… but Pioneer and Serato coming together is a heavy combo.

Could see a lot people thinking this more credible than an S2… maybe it is…

I think the most surprising thing to me is the price point on these units. The price is $299! And even if you bought the Serato DJ upgrade it’d be another $129 bringing it up to $429. That’s cheaper then the Kontrol S2. That price is more then reasonable for that unit.

1 knob per fx is what kills it for me, I think the DDJ-SR would be the real contender to the S2.

This + this = pure gold I guess? Pretty awesome for a really mobile party, like when you’re bbq’ing and drinking beers with some friends in the park or something…
