    Kareem, thanks for giving such great reviews. Been out of DJing for about 5 years . Want to upgrade my Itch system. Mostly planning to be in my home studio. Really like the Roland 505 leaning towards it. This is kind of a newbie question. On the pioneer 800 it has a really great color effects area for voice. Does the 505 have these same effects for voice? Have not seen any video on it. One big plus for the 505 is it’s loaded with software and the TRS system. Thanks for your great work!

    Thanks for the comments! The DJ-808 has the ability to effect voice as it has a VT (voice transformer) built in from Roland. Its a bit more money wise but it has lots more features and inputs and outputs as well...

    If you have a Roland DJ-505, then you will be able to use Serato DJ software no matter what. Perhaps he means some add-ons for Serato DJ are not included, but the base software has to be. It unlocks as soon as you plug it in.
