Out of the box, it’s immediately apparent that the build quality of the 800 is decent, if understandably not quite up to the standard of Pioneer’s range-topping gear. There are no slots for CDs, USB sticks, SD cards or any other kind of removable media on the DDJ, but it does act as an audio interface, so there’s no other hardware required except your laptop and a pair of headphones. Despite similarities in appearance, it’s important to note that the DDJ controllers only work in conjunction with the software, not standalone if you want standalone, laptop-free operation you’d need to look to alternatives in the company’s CDJ and XDJ ranges. ![]() If you do make the step right away, library management wise you will step into Valhalla compared to the others major names due to features like, related tracks, suggested playlist, MyTags, Cloud Library sync, Mobile app preparation.For DDJ users, rekordbox can be seen as a rival to the likes of Serato, Traktor or VirtualDJ: the software on which the whole platform runs.

Sadly with the release of Rekordbox 6 plus packs such as DVS can't be purchased anymore for RB5. Near the end of the 5.x branch they introduced hardware unlocked with RB5. At the time 'hardware unlocked' wasn't a thing. Started with a DDJ-1000 which was a very good pick. I made the switch from Traktor to Rekordbox 3 years ago and haven't looked back.
