    On paper the 400 has more useful features over the 200.
    And here are their 2 main differences:
    Number one which is the most important one so far, it’s the fact that the 400 has a sound card, which means that it doesn’t rely on any device to output its sound. You can simply plug in some RCA cables to the unit and attach those cables to a speaker and get the party going.
    The 200 on the other hand does not have a sound card, which means that the audio that it outputs, will only come from a computer or phone depending where you attach the unit to. Which unfortunately means, that the audio cannot get as loud and maybe as clear as the 400’s, unless you use a sound card with your computer which will cost you additionally.
    Number 2, the DDJ-400 has buttons and knobs for selecting songs, inputting pad modes, and for using effects. This is extremely useful because this removes the need to go to your computer and activate and select any of those options.
    The 200 though, does not have any of those buttons and features. It only has a mixer section, jog wheel section and cue pad section and that is extremely limiting, because you have to rely on touching and using your computer or phone to do simply DJ things like select songs. And that for me is the 200’s worst trait.
    But it’s not all bad for the DDJ-200, which brings us to the next section.
    The advantage of the DDj-200 over the 400 are 3 things. It’s smaller, it’s cheaper, and most importantly, it works with WeDJ and other mobile DJ apps. So this means you can DJ with songs from different audio streaming apps like Spotify.
    And another thing I like about the DDJ-200, is that it works just as good as the 400 when you plug it to a computer with Rekordbox DJ. I felt no difference at all between the 2 controllers when it came to scratching, mixing, using effects, etc. The functionality with rekordbox and the controllers build quality are exactly the same with its bigger brother
    So how bout the DDJ-400. How is it as a beginner DJ controller?
    Well for me it’s almost perfect. Everything works and functions like they should, and it can definitely go toe to toe with its bigger brothers like the DDJ-800 even though it’s smaller, lighter and is made with cheaper materials.
    If you’re a beginner DJ, the DDJ-400 is a controller that can last you a long time, because of all of its basic features!
    The only thing I find lacking with the unit, is its absence of better audio output options like an XLR output. But that is pretty much it!

    I think the difference is simple. The 200 is the type of controller you can take hiking to a mountain top so you can film yourself mixing and scratching. The 400 is one that you can potentially take to a gig.

    I’ve a DDJ400, it runs very well, and mostly if you’re a beginner that’s a total deal to understand basics using an advanced device. Price accordingly way more reasonable for a startup machine. Would say best for the value. DDJ200’s might be good for get togethers and school functions. If you just wanna listen to your favorite tracks and play with em. Rekordbox is kinda messy for beginners but once you get your hands on it no turning back.

  • @XryankX
    @XryankX 4 года назад +30

    I just started out mixing on my DDJ 200 and pairing it with a touchscreen capable laptop and rekordbox definitely allows it go toe to toe with the 400, as the features missing from the controller deck are replaced with buttons that are only a foot away on my screen. The only downside I can see is the missing soundcard and RCA outputs, but with an extra USB sound card ($20) the problem of the mono split cable is easily solved. Obviously, if you are planning to take this to a club or another professional setting, you might run into some issues setting up your audio with their PA, but in my opinion the quality and adaptability of your skills as a DJ far outweigh the need for expensive hardware.

    DDJ 200 is more than perfect as a backup controller and an absolute option in terms of portability. For beginner DJs too it can work wonders to learn the basics before investing into an expensive gear. I personally use the DDJ SX for my gigs and carry the 200 for house parties or for DJing on the go. It’s fun. 🥳

While I was all in on the DDJ 400 there has been no stock since maybe March/April? And the current delay is pushed into August (for my country at least). However, the 200 looks super fun and solid for absolute beginners like me to learn the basics. But both are such good prices that I would consider still saving and getting the 400 whenever it reappears!

    I have bought DDJ-400 before seeing this video. It's great, though I would like to see Pioneer making something like DDJ-400, but bigger and more expensive, but with focus on actually useful stuff. So no LCDs in the jog wheels, but instead 4 channel mixer and at least 2 outputs (preferably at least one balanced) and at least one analog input. Maybe separate FX controls would be nice too... And slightly bigger pads (it could be slightly bigger overall)... Though I guess it will never happen because it would significally cut demand for all those more expensive gears like DDJ-1000 SRT.

    I think the 400 is superb for what it is. I’ve owned a 2000nxs set up but sold it a couple years ago. Bought a 400 to mess about at home with and I absolutely love it. I wouldn’t recommend anything else for a beginner or even a pro DJ who wants something to use at home. Ticks almost every box for me.

      DJ Carlo Atendido I’m still likely to upgrade again soon, probably to the RX2 but the 400 is so good for the beginner Dj, especially with Beatport Link now as well. Pioneer definitely know what they’re doing!

    I got the ddj wego a few years ago. Great to get the basics down: beatmatching, mixing etc. so yeah, for the basix stuff it doesn’t matter which controller you take. When you are sure you like it then you can get a more expensive and extensive controller.

    so my first beginner controller was the DDJ-SB and I loved it, I upgraded to a DDJ-SB-3 last year and I feel like its the perfect combination of professional features and easy to grasp beginner layout and I prefer Serato DJ software over Rekordbox just personally. Now I may be switching to Rekordbox anyway because I'm currently looking at buying an XDJ-XZ although I do think Serato supports it

  • @101Osprey101
    @101Osprey101 4 года назад

    So, I WAS going to get the DDJ-400, but someone bought me a Numark NV II. Based upon your review here, I would absolutely spend the extra 100 dollars and get the DDJ-400 instead of the DDJ-200. After this review, I am not all that convinced that the cheap Numark Mixtrack controllers would not be a better solution than the DDJ-200. I know Pioneer is your sponsor and you do your best to support their products, but seeing how much additional you can/will possibly spend after the initial purchase of the DDJ-200, I would not recommend it to a beginner who is even half way serious.
    Great video as always!
    I just got my second booking and have not even played my first! To new people just getting going.... Take time to talk to the bar or club owners. Be honest and be humble. You will get the gigs. And for the love of Pete, when playing bars and clubs, frequently remind the patrons to tip the people serving them. This will go a LONG way in building a positive relationship with you and that particular bar or club. Don't be annoying about it, but be sure and do it at least once per set, if you can.
