DDJ-RB

Product Information

Compact form factor may be a plus point for some, along with the Pioneer look and feel, but the lack of ability to control four decks may force some to look elsewhere. I think this works well with Rekordbox DJ, unless you’re the type who likes to have total control of three FX going on a the same time.

The Pioneer DDJ-RB Rekordbox DJ Controller offers a lightweight controller that's packed with advanced features in an intuitive design. On the DDJ-400 though, the looping controls are transferred to the top of each jogwheel, making the layout similar to what you’d find on a CDJ or XDJ media player.

The AlphaTheta Corporation has announced the first two products under its newly announced AlphaTheta brand: The Omnis Duo, which is a portable all-in-one DJ controller, and the Wave Eight, a portable DJ speaker. We advise you to update to a currently supported browser (such as Chrome, Edge, or Firefox) to improve your security, speed, and overall experience. Of course you’d be stuck with just four performance pads instead of the eight on the DDJ-RR, but you would have a controller that works with both systems. While most DJs use controllers with laptops, a growing number of them – from hobbyists to mobile to “pro” DJs wanting a second system to use at home – are nowadays using “standalone” DJ systems instead. no headphone mix control knob on the controller just volume, but as a beginner, im fine with just cueing which track i wanna listen to on the controller.also you can only control 2 FX (unless you are quick with the mouse, or possible map the on off to a keyboard shortcut in the software), at a time instead of the 6 on the SB2. Used to DJ in clubs and bars when I was younger and wanted to roll back the years at home and recreate the magic! you can choose to play your music through your computers speakers/soundcard via the usb cable connected.

However, if you’re sure you’re only ever going to want to use Rekordbox DJ, want eight performance pads, and don’t mind controlling two decks maximum, the DDJ-RB is a decent controller to get. The ultra short-throw pitch faders of the DDJ-RB are one of the main gripes of users, not to mention their relatively flimsy construction that had some fader caps wobbling. Colour-coded pads give you visual control over your performance, while the large illuminated jog wheels resemble the design of our professional players.

to use headphones you have to use the RCA connections instead and use the mixers internal soundcard.

PC Master Out: Use your computer speakers for the master out and the controller for your headphones! Pioneer DJ kept the upgraded mixer section of the DDJ-SB2, which includes trim pots, three-band EQs, and filter knobs. Now, the UK Government is inviting people to submit their views to a formal investigation by its Competition and Markets Authority (“CMA”). the DDJ SB2 comes with an intro version of it's software and is pretty locked down, fx's locked down to minimum, you cannot even record your mixes with the trial software.Highly responsive, with low memory usage, the Rekordbox delivers stable performance, and its GUI mirrors the layout of the controllers to provide an instinctive and effortless control of all features. First Impressions / Setting up The DDJ-RB only has an 1/8″ jack for headphones (sorry 1/4″ devotees), and the back has a pair of RCA master outputs, a USB jack, and a mic input with volume control. The entry level DDJ-RB was inspired by Pioneers professional controllers the DDJ-RZ and DDJ-RX for Rekordbox DJ.
