Ddj ergo worth getting for beatmatching?

I’d take a look at the new Behringer controller ($199). Very similiar to your mixtrack pro but with nice long (higher resolution) pitch faders.

Also, 4 decks and 8 cue points.
I would not recommend the DJ ergo as a unit to learn beat matching on (for that price)

May according to the press I’ve seen, a mate of mine has the ddj-t1 I don’t like the feel of it at all, and the ergo apparently has the same components… the behringer will probably be lacking but for the price will be the best from the look of it, but I would say have a look at the new reloop 4mix controller as it has big jogs, big pitch faders and 4 channels, it’s out in May as well and it’s $599, it will kill the ergo and N4 quality wise and come with itch (with slicer) and vdj, and you could map it to traktor if you want

What kind of software do you use?

I admit to not being a Pioneer fan, but I really don’t see the Ergo being a good investment at all. From everything I’ve read, it does less than the competition but costs more.

If you are willing to go modular, maybe something like the Denon SC2000’s would work for you – I believe they have a nice long throw, and are solid units too for a reasonable price.

On which software? VDJ?

Oh? Neat, I’ve always thought Traktor has had a bit of a shoddy performance when it comes to the resolution of the pitch faders and jog wheels… Unless you’re using an S4/2.

In my opinion, I’d get the DDJ Ergo. I wouldn’t bother with CDs as I went from vinyl to CDs over the course of 10 years and can’t stand CDs anymore! They aren’t reliable, u have to organize your whole collection and burn multiple CDs that may read disc errors (rarely) that can ruin your set. Many CDs also force you to wait for the CD to read before cueing, which can lead you towards missing your cue.

I played with the VCI-300 MK2 and the DDJ Ergo yesterday for the first time. The VCI-300mk2 seemed more appealing at first but is limited. It had a better build and is more compact but that’s it, the Ergo is just as straight forward for beat matching and works almost just like any CD/Vinyl beat matching hardware perfectly with additional features nicely mapped with the software.

I’ve learned that people only have opinions on products and you should take your own judgement after testing them in a shop. I was drawn towards the vci-300 for quality, but altho the Ergo seems to be a cheaper build, it’s more effective and spot on than any other controllers I’ve used over 3 months of researching and I’ll be buying one asap. It’s also lightweight to take out to clubs etc, making your set up custom to you without having to get familiar with CDs and clubs varied styles of mixers should you want to start gigging, this will make practice more efficient as there will be no changes to your set up.

Spot on for beat matching and in my opinion, isn’t just a begginer model, although a lot of people say it is because it doesn’t have a shiny metallic finish which actually makes it more portable. I love the product and can’t wait to get one!
