There is a split audio cable included in the box though, which allows for a rudimentary workaround in order to monitor tracks. The notable downside here is the lack of an audio interface, meaning you’ll need a separate device for a proper master out/headphones DJ setup – which is reflected in the low price. The WeDJ app allows users to mix with tracks from SoundCloud Go+ or Beatport LINK too – although separate subscriptions to these services are required. The DDJ-200 is Bluetooth-equipped to connect to mobile devices or laptops wirelessly, and its power demands are low enough for it to happily run off of a portable USB charger. The ability to step up to the more pro-featured rekordbox software offers a nice route into advanced mixing too. The latter of these is an iOS/Android app with some great tutorial features aimed at getting newbies up to speed with the basics of DJing. On the software front, the DDJ-200 can be used with Algoriddim Djay, edjing Mix or Pioneer’s own rekordbox and WeDJ applications. Their DDJ-200 offers a stripped-back take on these higher-end devices with jog wheels, a simple mixer and performance pads that look and feel the part without overloading beginners DJs with complexity. Pioneer’s CDJs are effectively the industry standard, and their vast range of mid- and pro-level DJ controllers are consistently up with the best on the market.
That said, if you want something that includes an audio interface, Numark’s Mixtrack Platinum FX is a feature packed, sub-$/£250 controller that punches well above its price point and should do you years of service for small party, bar or home DJ sets. The controller maintains the feel of Pioneer’s popular high-end DJ gear, and means the leap up to a more advanced DJ setup in the future shouldn’t feel too daunting. The company’s WeDJ app not only allows newbies to DJ on-the-go, but also offers helpful guidance to get you started. There are a lot of good quality controllers available in the $/£100-250 price range, and you can’t go far wrong with anything from one of the big names like Pioneer DJ, Native Instruments or Numark.įor our money though, Pioneer’s DDJ-200 offers the best combination of value and features for new DJs.
