The best budget DJ controllers for me right now are the following:
The DDJ-400 for Rekordbox DJ, the DDJ-SB3 for Serato, and the Kontrol S2 Mk3 for Traktor
And all these controllers are all under $300 USD, and each of them gives you the ability to mix, scratch, use effects, and basically everything you may ever want and need from a DJ controller.
But what makes them mostly different from their big brother counterparts like the DDJ-1000, DDJ-SX3, and Control S4 Mk3, besides their build quality and price
Are additional features like: 4 channel faders, better audio output options and the ability to use gimmicky modes like keyboard mode, pitch play mode, and haptic drive mode.
And “all of those features”, come at hefty price. You see most of these controllers cost around $1,000.
And for me, they all just “over provide” from what you really need in DJ gear. But the question in your mind is, are they worth the upgrade? And in my honest opinion.
No they aren’t. These DJ companies are just trying to rip you off.
You have to understand that DJ controllers all really do the same thing.
They play music, and they give you the ability to activate effects, scratch and most importantly, MIX.
You see as a DJ, your output cannot be quantified by what you use. Nobody on the dance floor will care on what equipment you’re rocking.
They’ll just care if you’re giving them an amazing time, with good song selection - And expensive DJ gear, can never improve your ability to read a crowd.
But let’s talk about the positive differences between pro and beginner DJ equipment.
Pro equipment will perhaps make you DJ more comfortably. The faders will be better, the jogwheels will be smoother, and the buttons will be squishier. These factors may lead you to actually be more clean, and precise when you mix.
Perhaps you’ll even enjoy the layout and feel so much, you begin to perform better as well. And that may be a factor on why you may want to upgrade.
But if you’re a cheap ass DJ like me. I would rather master my beginner Dj controller, endure it’s less than pro build quality, and just use it to its fullest potential.
Because I can DJ the exact same way on both unit. The only different will be is how I feel with using the equipment. And “feel” is something I can get used to.
Anyway, beginner DJ equipment has improved so much thru the years, and these Dj companies are just trying to find ways to brain wash you to upgrade.
They want you to think that having the latest and greatest Dj gear will make you the best DJ in the world. Or at least give you the features and ability to.
But the truth is. They won’t. Nothing can ever replace hard work, practice and the special skill the makes DJ’ing so fun and unique.
And that is your ability to select the right songs at the right time.
So ask yourself before upgrading. Do you really need all those new and gimmicky features to be a better DJ, or does your equipment right now,
Already have all the features you need to be a better DJ?
