I’ve just spent the last 2 hours playing on the DDJ-RX after a long night of setting and fiddling around with it, it wasn’t as bad as I thought. I’ve used Traktor for years so I was a bit worried about jumping straight into Rekordbox never having used it before but I was quite surprised at how easy it is.
The controller itself is just brilliant, the build quality is excellent, I’m really loving the jog wheels, they’re extremely responsive. Everything is well laid out, it’s just jammed packed with features and I’m sure I’ll still be finding something new I can do on it over the coming weeks. It looks the part too, especially when it’s powered up and running 🙂
Rekordbox itself, I have to say it’s a great system. There’s plenty on features there for everyone, with it working along with the RX controller it’s flawless and extremely responsive. The only minor thing I have an issue with at the moment is the pitch control/master tempo sync, it’s not quite as refined as that on Traktor but I’m sure that will be tweaked somewhere down the line with an update or Plus Pack.
Overall I’m well impressed with it and I couldn’t be happier, it’s a serious piece of kit and for the money it costs it’s an absolute bargain.
