Pioneers DDJ-SB 2-channel DJ controller is designed for use with Serato DJ Intro software. The DDJ-SB features similar operability as Pioneer’s extremely popular DDJ-SX and DDJ-SR. More compact and portable than the other models, the DDJ-SB is designed for the entry-level DJ who wants the same look and feel as the upper models but with more basic operability and at a more affordable price. The DDJ-SB uses the Serato DJ Intro software and incorporates four performance pads, large jog wheels, and a new Filter Fade function that assists users in smoothly blending together tracks of different styles.Mixing with SeratoSerato DJ Intro The DDJ-SB is packaged with Serato DJ Intro software and its layout mirrors Serato DJ Intro’s interface, so getting hands on with the controller’s tactile buttons and dials soon become second nature. Serato DJ Intro provides an out-of-the-box experience with Hot Cue, Auto Loop, Sampler and other cool effects. For expanded functionalities and effects, the controller can be used with Serato DJ (optional, paid software) offering users the ability to arrange tracks using Slip Mode, access various effect functions available fro

After wanting the DDJ-WEGO for almost a year I had seen the DDJ-WEGO2 was released. I ran out and picked one up and found it to be a lot of fun. While doing more research post purchase I discovered the DDJ-SB had just been released. As the WEGO2 had a known hardware issue with the tempo sliders and Pioneer wouldn’t cross ship a replacement I returned it. After receiving the DDJ-SB and setting it up I could tell it was in a different class than the WEGO2. There weren’t any issues whatsoever with any of the controls or functions. I applied the initial firmware update that only pertained to the Serato DJ full edition that "Fixed Channel Fader Start issue and SLIP mode issue with Serato DJ"; then was off and running.
Serato DJ Intro version was included which is very cool. After using the initial version for a few days I then installed the 14 day trial version of Serato DJ. The full version enables additional functioality and I think it will be hard to go back to the intro version. The full version is currently 9 to upgrade to. I plan on keeping this controller and passing it on to my kids to learn on also as we are a family that really enjoys listening to music. DJing, even at home, can put a fresh spin on old and new songs and make them even more enjoyable to listen to. The controller appears to be very well made. There is no hum or undesirable audio artifacts. Product was packaged well and my expectations were met. I am now looking at the DJJ-SZ as I’ll have the DDJ-SB figured out in the near term. Great starter controller that pulls features and design from it’s bigger siblings in the line; the DDJ-SR, DDJ-SX, and DDJ-SZ. 0

I have been DJing and "scratching" records for over 10 years, professionally and as a hobby. The platters are touch-sensitive and very responsive. I can do all my regular moves and tricks as I used to with vinyl. The pads are way too much fun. The auto loop can be a life saver when you need a quick loop made. The manual loop has a 1/2 function that can be used to create the classic dance beat build up. Also the FILTER FADE is way to cool, makes transitioning between different and disconnected songs very easy and smooth. Serato DJ, in my opinion is the best software to used as well. This comes with the trial version and it rocks. Beginning to DJ or seasoned professional needing a streamlined setup, GET IT!
