DJ Equipment help.

Hey Manish,

Neither really. Besides they are totally different controllers.

Good beginner controllers are:
Pioneer DDJ-SB
Denon MC2000 (possible the MC4000, depending on your DJ style)
Reloop Beatmix 2 (or 4)
Numark Mixtrack Pro 3

As I have said on these forums before, starting with the question if controller X or Z is the best/better is the wrong way to start your selection process.

A better way to go about it, imho, is:
1) Decide what kind of DJ you are/want to be and what workflow comes with that
2) Find the software that best fits your workflow
3) Set yourself a budget
4) Make a shortlist of the controllers that best fit your workflow and budget (our Controller Buyers Guide is a good place to start with that process)
5) Try to find the top two prospects to see and touch in a store if you can
6) Make your decision

There is a lot you don’t know yet about your workflow, the kind of DJ-ing you will be doing, what you will like and what you don’t. So it’s better to start with a cheaper and slightly less intimidating controller, which will help you figure out what your NEXT controller really needs to be about.

Hope that helps.

Then go for the DDJ-SX it has tons more possibilities. Yes it does not support rekordbox, but rekordbox is just a glorified version of iTunes with CUE points, which both you will not need if working with the DDJ-SX.
The SX on the other hand will bring you full Serato DJ with Studio Quality effects, sample player, Serato Flip, Slicer, More hot cues, advanced beatgrid,…. and so much more.

So the SX is a pretty safe bet. Yes it might be overwhelming at start, but then you have a lot to grow into and it will last you a long time.
