New - Need help...

[bluelindley]

Hi All,

Im new here and just wanting to know if someone could suggest a good controller to start off with, I was going to go with a Pioneer controller DDj-SX, any help would be great...

Cheers, Brendon

DDJ-SX is an excellent all round controller with all the features you could need.

Not really considered entry-level or beginner to be honest but if you can afford it why not.

If you got that you probably wouldn't be upgrading for a while.

Thanks heaps overit, is there any other model or brand that you would recommend??

If you have the money the front runners are:

Numark NS7

Pioneer DDjt-1

Pioneer DDJs-1

NUmark NS6

Denon MC6000

Native Instruments S4

but don't take my word for it:

browse these threads on here:

and this is a great article on current units:

Thanks heaps again, much appreciated.

Obviously this will be a bit biased but my first controller was a ddj-s1 (2chn Serato) I found it quite good especially having xlr outs you can plug straight into any pro gear or just plain rcas for the basic set ups. Serato also has planned for it to roll over to the new Serato dj instead of itch (which I find alright anyway)

Conveniently mines currently for sale

Really depends on how much you wanna splash out dude, alot of the different brands and models will be perfect to start on.

My advice is go try some in a shop and see what you like.
