Rekordbox dj full screen issue manuals#
Getting the software installed and the controller recognised and connected is child’s play, much like Serato in this respect, and the available manuals are clear in helping with those early head-scratching questions. Two headphone outputs, channel input switching and crossfader curve keep the front panel practical and clutter-free. The plastic protector for the back panel is a little flimsy, especially around the XLR sockets, this could easily get damaged if you’re not careful when hooking up your outputs, time will tell.Īround the front you get two very loud headphone outputs, 3/4” and 1/8” inch mini-jack options with level and cut / master mix control, selectable channel inputs via recessed switches to prevent accidental switching, PC (for control of the software) and Mic, CD, Phono or Line dependent of the channel. Channel 4 has RCA input for CD and a second mic via TRS jack. Channel 3 has an RCA line input and a combined XLR / TRS mic input. The input options are impressive, channels 1 & 2 have inputs for phono or line, useful for external sound sources like a CD Player or iPod/Phone and of course, they’re ready for the forthcoming DVS capability of Rekordbox DJ. On the rear we get output choices of balanced XLR / unbalanced RCA main outputs plus a TRS booth output. The stand-alone mixer with hardware FX has an impressive number of input / output options, plus it’s DVS-ready. All the selector buttons feel like they could take a real pounding without failing and the Akai-style velocity sensitive performance pads feel tactile and are just beg to be hammered and finger-drummed! The browser scroll rotary encoder and folder navigation buttons are tucked right at the top and are a little small and fiddly, but they do the job once you get used to them and are certainly not a deal-breaker. The knobs, selectors and faders all have that reliable pro Pioneer feel, and the sturdy jogwheels actually feel more solid and better for scratching than the mechanical feel of Pioneer’s professional CDJ and XDJ players.
Rekordbox dj full screen issue portable#
Constructed from a chunky plastic main shell with a metal top plate, it’s heavy enough to be sturdy but still remain portable (I carried it under one arm on a 10-minute walk without any Numark NS7-style backache!). First Impressions / Setting up Based on the popular DDJ-SX Pioneer DJ’s first controller for the new Rekordbox DJ software has a lot to prove, it certainly looks the part, but can it deliver? First impressions and setting upĪpart from the colour and the addition of a few new buttons to control Rekordbox DJ features that Serato doesn’t have, the DDJ-RX is very similar to the DDJ-SX, that’s to say it’s solid, well built and attractively laid out.
