HAR MEGIDDO SHOWS YOU SOME VERY IMPORTANT TIPS AND TRICKS WHEN USING THE PIONEER DDJ RR IN A LIVE SETTING. GET THE PIONEER DDJ RR HERE: amzn.to/2qFPi4b
Great review. I recently bought the XDJ-RX2 and learned to love Rekordbox (I was Traktor ecosystem for a long time). I was debating this as a prep and dual venue situation but after this video, I will definitely buying this with the magma case and decksaver as my prep, backup and multi venue night setup for my move back to Seoul.
Har, just wanna give you a heads up. There is a really cool carry on bag you can purchase for the DDJ RR. It's the "Gator G-Club Control 25" bag. I own it and I love it!!! The RR fits perfectly in it and it has other compartments for carrying other things as well. ~Vince
Hi Har Megiddo ... you got both so...wich one would u choose...the RZ or the RR and why please?Gives the RZ better recording quality or is it the same?Myself ,I own the RB...thanx in advance..Gr.P.
Oh my gosh, I LOVE rekordbox. I love the fx and what pioneer is doing with the temporary fx pads. There filter fx is top notch. Extremely stable. Never had it crash on me. I highly suggest practicing a lot and get familar with your style and control when you make the switch like I did. I like the pitch adjust way better with pioneer because they have a clicky center and it is easier to adjust tempo without the sync button. I used sync a lot with traktor because it was so hard to lock in tempo.
You can remove the fader caps. They are locked with the famous pioneer P-lock. Just wipe out the white plastic strip in the middle of the cap and then you can remove the it. There are some tutorial on RUclips showing how it works
have a question. Can you take it of vinyl mode? And if you can, when you press pause does it stutter? Like where the beat repeats itself so you can move the jog wheel to cue the very beginning of that sound or beat?
Question regarding the tempo pitchers. Do you use them cause they are kinda short compared to the DDJ RX, RZ. Do you find it a problem? Cause I wanna learn DJ'ing the oldschool way with beatmatching and nudging.
Hey Har, big shout from Brazil! So... I'm about to migrate to RekordboxDJ, replacing my Traktor S4 MK2, however, could you tell us if it is possible to change the jog tension? I've been reading some complains about how loose are the jogs, meaning we need to pitch bend a lot - so many spins - to have a tight beatmatching. If you say 'yes, you can adjust that', I'm definitely buy one. Hope to hear from you soon! Cheers!
Heyy man, i loved the video, thanks for all these informations, i'm saving money to buy one, also i think that is kinda messed up to mix on 4 decks without 4 individual controls, once again thanks for showing us this. (Sry for my poor english xD) Greetings from Brazil o/
+Zhiony W. V. De Weixx hey Zhiony! Thank you so much for watching! Please subscribe! Personally, I mix only two channels mainly so it is a great solution for me. I think it is totally doable to mix with four channels with the system they have set up. And the RX is a great solution for four channels but it is slightly larger. Cheers!
My problem is that when I import a song into rekordbox it doesn't give me the artist name, the album name and the genre, even if there are the columns. Maybe is a problem with the music file. Which program do you use to convert music into mp3 files? What program do you recommend to me for downloading music?
hi , what buttons are you using to assign effect decks to channels 1 and 2 ? what I mean is like there are buttons fx 1 and 2 for each channel on ddj rz .
yea I'm aware , was thinking if pioneer has or not made something like that in default , also one more thing are parameters button the page switch buttons like in ddj 1000 ? I mean if I press page 2 for instance pads work for effect / hot cue button on page 2?
I’ve never even touched a controller before but interested in djing . Should i get something for beginners like the ddj-rb or this controller that has 4 channels and I can grow with?
My Bad, sorry. I really like the song and the stuff you have done with it! Here is a link to my first original tracks.... and if you could feature it in one of your videos, that would be great! soundcloud.com/al3xdj/pacific
nice rewiew! Pioneer have there Proprietary locking X/Y fader caps called (Pioneer P-Lock) its easy to remove when you know how! google (Pioneer P-Lock)
It's not going to happen because it's already made easy for a lot of DJs out there to have that option on. You might be one of those DJs that doesn't like it on, however there are a lot of DJs that prefer to have that option on instead of off. Just do what you can to set it to your liking and take it from there. It's not a big deal to make fuss is about.
4 decks playing at once! You just made my day!!!! I can't believe I didn't see this! Well done on the video as well... really great!!!!

Awesome! Glad I could help
Thank you for watching!!!
Har Megiddo, No problem. We are both in the same space and a fan told me to check you out. I am glad he did. Take care and catch you in the mix bro!

Great video!!! Thinking about the RR to get into rekordbox & have a portable solution that has pro features! Thanks for the info!!!
+Akinkunmi Cook any time! Please let me know if you have any questions and I'll help!
Yes, thanks! Is Rekordbox software stable? I've heard that it sometimes crashes!
Thanks man! Not much information on this controller. I bought same, and now waiting for parcel :) How do you Recordbox? Works stably? I use Traktor.

Loving the chroma caps!
+Mac Joseph thanks Mac! Yes I love them!
I would love to session with you.
My problem is that when I import a song into rekordbox it doesn't give me the artist name, the album name and the genre, even if there are the columns. Maybe is a problem with the music file.
Which program do you use to convert music into mp3 files? What program do you recommend to me for downloading music?
Sir.. I'm confused if I should wait for the new tractor kontroler S4 mk3 or just go with the ddj rr. Please help me?
Wait
Okay.. Thank you .🔥
How do I transition into a drop from song to song? Or simply put how do I mix different songs smoothly one after the other.
Great! Where can I buy colour knobs and faders?
Dj tech tools!!! 💪🏻
hi , what buttons are you using to assign effect decks to channels 1 and 2 ? what I mean is like there are buttons fx 1 and 2 for each channel on ddj rz .
A lot of reassigning can be done inside rekordbox
yea I'm aware , was thinking if pioneer has or not made something like that in default , also one more thing are parameters button the page switch buttons like in ddj 1000 ? I mean if I press page 2 for instance pads work for effect / hot cue button on page 2?
Can it be used with traktor???
I’ve never even touched a controller before but interested in djing . Should i get something for beginners like the ddj-rb or this controller that has 4 channels and I can grow with?
Yep the rb is a great place to start! That way you don’t break the bank if you only plan to mess around
Two channels first. I still dj with just two channels for the most part
Awesome thanks
Is that a mac laptop? I need something cheaper with 8 to 16gb ram en 1tb memory? Enybody som tips? Big Thanks in advice.
+TheRoel75 yes it's a mac, I suggest an old used MacBook on Amazon.
How to use an effect when you select 'Line in' on a channel? The screen shows a grey 120BPM + TAP info.
how do you bring up the browser menu on rekordbox dj using the ddj rr and not the spacebar on the laptop?
+RED you will have to create a midi mapping. There is not a short cut for it. Crazy, right?!?
Har Megiddo omy thanks for replying. but how do i make a midi mapping? im still new with rekorsbox
Where do you get those orange knobs?
+Tintin Y Dj tech tools
Just uncheck the deck for the crossfader, no?
Does the DDJ-RR have 'keyboard' mode?
+wikkidselekta I’m not sure if it will support it yet. I bet you could midi map it somehow
I dj'd for decades without the crossfader or needing to have it disabled. Cute idea for noobs though.
Who was that song “CLOSER” by??
Me. Har Megiddo
My Bad, sorry. I really like the song and the stuff you have done with it! Here is a link to my first original tracks.... and if you could feature it in one of your videos, that would be great!

I would have gotten a bag designed for the rr
nice rewiew! Pioneer have there Proprietary locking X/Y fader caps called (Pioneer P-Lock) its easy to remove when you know how! google (Pioneer P-Lock)
WHat about a DDj SR Bag???... they said they are the same size.
Which one? Yes the DDJ SR and RR are the same size. SR is for Serato and RR is for Rekordbox.
I thought u was looking for a Bag to put the DDj RR into... so i suggested the Ddj SR's bag..
+Dj CashMoney 767 there are a bunch of different brands. Haven't found one that I like
Snob... tone it down
Thanks for the watch!
