    This week I review the Pioneer DDJ SX2 DJ Decks using Serato!
    Many people ask me what DJ decks or DJ controllers I have and what DJ decks I recommend. In this DJ tutorial, I thought I would start off by just telling you what it is that I love about my DJ decks.
    I run you through all the features of the DDJ SX2 and explain a little about what makes the difference and what I love about them.
    Roll Feature Explained! Roll Button Explained! DDJ SX2 Explained!
    I also explain exactly what the roll feature does and the slicer feature on the DDJ SX2.

    I loved this video. It is very simple to understand and follow. Thank you for this! Although i have experiencing mixing vinyl, I have none with digital music and ddj's, so I'll be checking out the beginners course as well, just because I purchased the SX2 and Id like to familiarize myself with it more.

    Well I’ve been using the Ddj-SB3 for almost a year now and I feel like the controller was holding a lot back.So after doing a lot of research and watching everyone of your videos and bought the tutorials. I ordered the SX2 last night. Thanks a lot for your help man. Your videos made it possible for me learn a lot from basically not knowing anything at all.

  • @cattiestsine7545
    @cattiestsine7545 Před 6 lety +5

    This is a controller right??? So it controls the filter in the application, so obviously the filter sounds professional... they’re the same on all the controllers... the only way they’d sound different is if you switch applications is it not?

  • @modernmusicstudio303

    the filters are serato dj pro filters, the ddj sx2 just controlls the filter on the software, it's not the controller's filter

  • @glen.s9860
    @glen.s9860 Před rokem +1

    Why do you and other tutor always say DJ deck are not for begginner I like to buy once I bought a sax I like selmer MK6 so I buy the New Ref54 I have no idea about DJ but I really like the DDJ1000 and I will buy once and learn on it, instead of buying and buying later, so the money on entry level controler is a waste of money. 300 is a lot of money which you cannot return to my pot.

      Phil Harris Will do. I'll be working with the Numark NVII controller. Slightly different than yours but most of the functions are the same. I'll be using Serrato DJ software as well since it comes with the controller. You're really good at explaining with clarity and detail so, I'm sure things will go smoothly. Talk to you soon.

    • @WilliamOgden
      @WilliamOgden Před 6 lety +1

      The SZ2 is a good controller but it is not worth the additional money. The only real advantage it provides is the larger decks. If you want larger decks you should be looking at the Numark NS7III.

  • @NormansMagicCarpet
    @NormansMagicCarpet Před 6 lety +1

    Hey Phil, been DJing for over a year now (mostly house disco and techno) and as am going to Uni in Bristol in September I want some new decks to hopefully start getting more gigs. So far I have DJed in a local bar and mix nigh on everyday using my Serato Mixtrack Pro 2's. Should I upgrade to a second hand set of these or a bit more of an investment in myself with the XR2s, so I can transition easier to using CDJs in clubs.
    Thanks
    Jake

    • @DJPhilHarris
      @DJPhilHarris  Před 6 lety

      Oh sorry. Well I live these decks. You can easily transition from these to CDJ’s. I would highly recommend these decks. The XR2 are for rekordbox. That is the only thing to consider.

    Hey Phil, would you suggest I use the Numark Mixtrack Pro (the very first one)? I am on a VERY tight budget. Is there another deck you would suggest for someone on a very very tight budget?
    EDIT: Also I LOVE your videos!
    EDIT2: The way you explain things is so helpful! Heck, I watched you mom DJ, LOL!
    EDIT3: Just subbed!

    • @DJPhilHarris
      @DJPhilHarris  Před 6 lety

      How tight is your budget? I am thinking of making a video on this very soon. These decks look basic but there are enough features to learn all about beat matching and different transition techniques. As I always say, the basics are 95% of DJing so I think you are good to go.

    • @stagofficial
      @stagofficial Před 6 lety

      Preferably, under $75(I know that is almost nothing to work with, the reason I chose the Mixtrack Pro is b/c you can find it on ebay for less than $75).

    • @ryanharrison1472
      @ryanharrison1472 Před 6 lety +1

    Hi Phil and thanks for your videos. I just got a used DDJ-SX2.
    It's great except for the fact that I can't backspin for some reason. Is there a special fonction to hit before or something? I had a DDJ-Wego 3 and could backspin with it but with the sx2 the song won't even "rewind" a bit when I spin firmly the deck backwards.
    Thanks for your help and sorry if this is a newbie question.
    Serato Pro running on Mac Mojave 10.14
    I tried to update firmware but when I double click on the DDJ-SX2_UpdaterApp_v1.06.jar file it says that there is no DDJ-SX2 sx2 connected although it is.
    Controller works fine besides that.

      @mr.voidout4739 Před 5 lety +1

      Search Numark's controllers for decent budget models. Hercules controllers if you're broke but just want to start learning. Otherwise, I would recommend starting with a quality Pioneer DDJ-SB, even if you have to save up for it. Around USD$250, probably less.
