DDJ-400 all the way, the fact that it comes with a full-featured pro-DJ software right out the box and has design similarities to club standard CDJ/DJM set-ups means that moving to professional equipment will be smoother and more intuitive.

Great vid, for me this is what comes down to... $250 for the sb3, Serato lite $100 to upgrade to Serato pro Total:. $350 Vs $250 for a DDJ 400 with full Rekordbox $100 for a hard case, headphones, laptop stand, longer audio cables Total: Also $350 For immediately jumping in and practicing plus mobility the DDJ 400 wins by a mile. Best value with functionality by far.

DJ carlo I've been just playing at my church for about a few weeks and i'be used some of your techniques from your videos and i'm improved immensely from where I started back in December and from my first time playing in front of a crowd, one of my Youth sponsors liked my performance so much he said i'd done better than a DJ he'd seen at a club, and so I wanna say thank you and keep doing what your doing

If you want to DJ clubs and CDJs in the future, get the 400 Honestly heres the bottom line. No need to switch your library over later one to RB to export tracks and RB is pretty simple to use. I learned it in 1 night going b2b with my friend on a ddj1000. Obviously the hot cues didnt transfer over to RB from serato but with needle search its pretty easy to pre cue and the bailey to adjust waveforms in RB makes it alot easier to use imo.

where do u get the DDJ 400 from

I just got the DDJ-400 today. Honestly while I much preferred the visual looks of the SB3 more, I wasn't too keen on having to buy a Serato pro license when the 400 came with full software right out of the box. And I'm having an absolute blast with it already, so I feel like I made the right choice 😁

I have just used DDJ-SB3 in my previous DJ Party performance! It is definitely wonderful and I do make the crowd go wild with the functions in it :D

Alright, I'm set now, i'm getting the SB3 asap ! Thanks ! EDIT: I've watched the video 2x in a row, just to make sure, and since I already have Serato DJ Pro and from what I could gather on some reddit threads, the DDJ SB3 is much worthy but only if you have the full software already, anything else, I guess I'd go with the DDJ 400. Either way, I will use mine with Virtual DJ since they both compatible with. Thanks for the video.

I loved the fact that you were talking about them being for a beginner DJ just learning and then mentioned exporting your cue points to take to your CDJ gig. That was classic. :) Honestly you should have compared the DDJ RB to the DDJ 400 and just kept it all in Rekordbox. The real big difference between the 400 and Pioneer other entry controllers is pretty simple they are trying to make the 400 have and appearance and layout that more closely matches the newer pioneer pro gear. If that is important to you for learning, practicing, performing etc then you have your answer as to which is better. Not sure I would recommend any of the entry level controllers, I believe you are better off starting at least with the pro-sumer models and just putting in the time to learn. It's similar to when you used to try to explain to people why a 1200 mk2 was worth it eons ago in the days of vinyl.

I think,the power of ddj 400,is recordbox. My savings are close to buy myself one of these, as a gift for Christmas😊

I just got the SB3. Using it with Virtual dj (already have a pro license) and love it. Everything is unlocked and works great. Just gotta get used to transition from mouse/keyboard to controller as it's a very different hand/eye coordination and muscle memory. Still having a hard time timing my fader cuts, gotta practice I guess.

I went with the SB3, however- after rewatching the video, there was a key detail that you mentioned that has me interested in the DDJ- 400. At 3:39 you mention you're able to maintain your hotcues on your songs on a usb to a CDJ with the DDJ 400. I was curious if this is possible with SB3 if it's coupled with Serato DJ Pro? This is important to me because my cousin was talking to me the other day about getting a new controller himself (he Dj's too), and had mentioned that most places such as clubs will tend to have there own equipment such as DDJ- 1000's. He had mentioned that if I planned on getting a new controller that I should consider a Pioneer- that way I can familiarize myself with the layout, and (fingers crossed), if I get good enough, I can just import my music onto the usb and have some sense of what I'm doing on the stage. Sorry for the long message Carlo! You really are an inspiration, and I watch all your videos. I hope this message reaches you safely, and that I don't bother you too much with my inquiries. Thank You!!!!

Nice,this is really informative. Great as a beginner’s guide on picking their first equipment. Great job my idol😎

Thing is the SB3 can work with Rekordbox just fine - internally its just an SB2 with its ID changed. if you look online there is a registry hack in windows that makes it show as an SB2. Rekordbox 5 and lower will boot with it and it operates perfectly. AS for RB6, the SB2 was listed as supported but you have to pay for the licence but it too works with the SB3 in SB2 mode. Before anyone asks no this isn't supposed to happen, it is just foi technical demonstration only. also the Reg edit resets everytime you unplug SB3 or reboot PC.

Great Vid! Would love to see a comparison video like this but for the DDJ-1000 vs DDJ-SX3! :)

DJ Carlo Atendido, we can have the slicer mode on the DDJ-400! And you know it ;). You just have to go in the midi setup and replace a thing you don't use, personally slicer mode replace the keyshift function ;). The ddj-400 is way cheaper than the SB3 because we have a full version of rekordbox, a beginner will be frustrated with the lite version of serato ;).

Thanks for the video Carlo. It helped me a lot. For what a I saw, I think DDJ 400 is a good option since the effects display reminds me a lot to the DJM 900 Nexus and if you want to do an upgrade someday, the transition from this controller to that mixer won’t be a problem. Besides, Rekordbox has this feature that displays the structure of the songs on your playlist and I find that very helpful. For those couple of reasons I will try starting to DJ with DDJ 400. Now, have a question for you, what kind of effects would you recommend me for house / tech house music? Thanks in advance!

Nice video! You can also have the Slicer mode on the Pioneer DDJ-400 as the Pioneer-SB3 has if you configure it on the MIDI options ;). In my case, I changed the Beatjump mode to this one and it works. Thank you!

The DDJ SB3 is better than the DDJ 400, just as the SX2 and SZ2 remain the best controllers ever produced by Pioneer. The SX series perfectly reflects the software. It is a big mistake to choose a controller because it mirrors those used in clubs. The DDJ-400 and the FLX series have nothing to do with club equipment. A MIDI controller should be bought if it matches the functions of the software. Therefore, the controllers that reflect the software 100% are only the SX, SX2, SX3, SZ2, RX, RZ, and for beginners, the DDJ-SB3. To become a DJ, you need to practice and master the basics, so any controller and any software would work. For this purpose, a basic controller without LED Vu Meters would be ideal. Music is all about hearing, not visual cues. Once you have mastered the basics, you can think further. The choice for the DDJ-400 is exclusively if you want to use Rekordbox, but certainly not for its layout, which has significant limitations. Additionally, clubs do not use Rekordbox; CDJs have their own compatible built-in software. So, until you reach the level of a club DJ and are only doing private parties, the best choices are the controllers mentioned above.

My first controller was a Vestax PDXd3. This was way back in 1998 and it was already fully standalone laptop free. Yes, 1998! Imagine that! And it is actually rock solid until today. Great machine!

the only gripe I have with the sb3 is that if you use the controller with Serato DJ lite first, when you upgrade to pro the bottom 4 pads are mapped out the same as in Serato DJ Lite, so you have to re midi map them, which can be stressful for a beginner.

You can get all the mentioned missing features on the SB3 if you use Virtual DJ instead of serato. Very easy to set up on Virtual Dj too.

You can't really do long backspins but there are ways around that on the mixer

Amazing Video!

I've been using serato dj for a long long time on a numark nv , but i prefer rekordbox interface and functions and ai want to go for ddj-400.Is it a good choice?

Rekordbox is great honestly. Like he said in the video, DDJ 400 has 2 channels instead of 4 and only 1 FX wheel on the controller instead of 3. Besides these two things, the DDJ 400 is great for beginners. You can buy 400 and upgrade to 1000/RZ/RZX when time comes or move straight to 1000.

Im getting a new Controller for christmas. Which one do you think is the best for beginners amd that is $300 or less?

Get the 400, it comes with full pro-DJ software and also has design similarities to club standard CDJ/DJM set-ups if you ever feel like moving up one day, the transition will be smoother

Thanks for the advice, Carlo. In my opinion, DDJ-400 is a more profitable purchase. Full serato for $ 129 plus quite expensive SB3 disqualifies the latter. I buy the first one. ;)

Sir please please tell me ddj sb3 and ddj 400 who is better...🙋

I have the ddj sb3 and I love it
