Pioneer DJ DJ Controller, Black, (DDJSB3)

Product Information

If you want to learn how to scratch and you’d like to use Serato DJ, go for the DDJ-SB3. It’s the best DDJ-SB controller that Pioneer DJ has made thus far. If you’d like something that will prepare you for the club and you’d like to spin with Rekordbox DJ, go with the DDJ-400.

DDJ-SB3 - Pioneer DJ - Global

The product can work well with the "Intro," but its efficiency will peak if installing Serato DJ Pro. Can you use Pioneer DJ DDJ 400 without speakers?Finally, the TRS microphone input with dedicated volume control is found on the rear of the controller. It is worth noting that the microphones audio is not sent to the computer over USB, meaning you won’t hear it in recordings or streams. In addition to the above-mentioned features, there is the new Pad Scratch which allows you to reproduce scratches based on the recordings provided by DJ Jazzy Jeff, simply at the press of a button. There are eight different scratch techniques that have been provided by the well-known DJ, and the scratch speed will automatically match the BPM; so even with little knowledge or experience quality sounding performances can be created. Pad Scratch can be used on its own, or in conjunction with your own scratching, which allows for boundless creative potential. Both DJ controllers share the same mixer features like filter, headphone cue buttons, master level, and load buttons. Loop controls on the DDJ-SB3 are similar to older DDJ-SB controllers: They consist of an Auto Loop button that toggles a loop on or off, plus you’ve got loop length half and double buttons. Pioneer DJ DDJ controllers have used this system for years, and can be found from the cheapest of models to flagship units like the DDJ-RZX.

Users with USB-C iPad devices can bypass the adaptor, using a USB-B to USB-C cable. Do note this method disables the iPad charging, so keep an eye on battery levels! The DDJ-400 and DDJ-SB3 have a similar overall size and weight. Both are Pioneer DJ’s most compact devices in its DDJ range of controllers, and while their general build is similar, the main differences lay in the controls and how they are laid out on both devices. The Pioneer DDJ-SB3 is a 2-channel DJ Controller solely designed for use with Serato DJ Lite (originally known as Serato DJ Intro) which features Pad Scratch, an industry first! On top of that, Pad scratch has been co-developed with world-renowned DJ Jazzy Jeff.

Finally…

The DDJ-400 works best when it is used with the Rekordbox - its built-in software, and the Rekordbox and Serato are really similar, so we don't recommend you use Serato on the DDJ 400. Can you use rekordbox with Pioneer DJ SB3? As a result, this battle winner must be the DDJ 400 controller because of its more versatile capacity. Mixer The Rekordbox DJ, built-in with the DDJ 440, is in "premium" mode, so the DDJ 440 users can explore every feature that the Reokordbox offers. The other yellow button is used for re-looping and resizing the loop. All these great features are more than what you can expect from a low-budget controller. They don't need to pay for the full software anymore because the price for the premium has already been added to the controller's total cost.

When buying a DDJ SB3, the machine will automatically run by Serato DJ Intro, and you have to pay an extra fee to buy the Serato DJ Pro. Improved DJ controller designed for Serato DJ Lite – Features include world’s first Pad Scratch for performing scratches co-developed with DJ Jazzy Jeff.However, the DDJ SB3 comes with the Serato DJ Intro software, and only that program works well on the SB3. The DDJ-SB3 features straightforward audio connections. Headphones connect to the front of the controller using a smaller 1/8th TRS connection. Speakers connect to the two RCA line-level outputs on the rear, labelled master. These are colour coded with the red connection for the right speaker and white being for the left. In general, these two softwares are equally good and stable. They also offer enough features demanded for DJs. However, there is a remarkable difference that we need to discuss. Out of the box, the DDJ-SB3 works with Serato DJ and the DDJ-400 works with Rekordbox DJ. The DDJ-SB3 is also compatible with Virtual DJ 8, while compatibility with the DDJ-400 is forthcoming.
