Glad to have found this place, this is my first post.
My youngest son (will be 8 when he gets it) is SUPER into his music and making and running playlists so my wife and I decided his "big" present for the holidays (Christmas, Chanukah, Festivus, Kwanza etc) would be a DJ controller.
I got as far as knowing I want to buy Pioneer...seems that, for beginners, this is the easiest one to use but which one is tough. I am just not understanding.
I have already bought the
PIONEER DDJ-200 but I am thinking it's going to be extremely limiting, especially since there is no real output other than the bluetooth connection to your ipad or whatever device you pair it with. The draw to the DDJ-200, however is that it works with Spotify, which my son loves and we have the full subscription.
I am thinking of taking back the DDJ-200 and getting the
PIONEER DDJ-400 but number one, you can get it with either Rekordbox or Serato and I don't know a thing about either one, and I am getting mixed answers as to whether you can use it with Spotify. Some say yeah no problem, some say no, and some say yes, but you have to get the "full version" of the software for another $150 which I would probably not do.
I have two sets of powered speakers, mixers, mics, mic stands, plenty of cabling etc, so hooking it up won't be an issue once I figure out what to buy.
Can anyone walk me through this so I can make a decent decision here?? Also if I am headed down the totally wrong path, please straighten me out lol
