The DDJ-T1 is a clever piece of new DJ Pioneer, which recently caught my attention. Pioneer DJ equipment is churning out new every week and especially in the digital DJ controller market.
First, what is the DDJ-T1 and what it does?
In short, this is a USB controller with 4 channels of audio, that works with PC or Mac and Traktor DJ software ready. This means that it is perfectly and comes with Native Instruments Traktor mixing software.According to Pioneer, is ideal for mobile DJs and DJ's house.
And as for the DJ of the club, he or she can use it too? In my opinion, of course, this mechanism can be used to cook for a big club, concert or party. And blessed with more than enough features, but also with some good looks and a strong feeling to it.
What does the DDJ-T1?
This USB controller are not radically different in terms of what it offers: two jog wheels, a mixer, a lot of differentSound effects and a feeling of strength that are the most obvious. Were predicted. The real question that probably includes the functions that Pioneer has thought to take any value different or better than other controllers can be taken into account.
DJ splash your hard earned money is important when it comes to investment is taking off. This piece of audio magic, you should go for at least 5 years for the last poppy that you put on the table.
Tools, which shouldHelp you enjoy inspiring countless dance DJ sets, thousands of people enough, and should withstand a few knocks and splashes of water on the road.
What justifies the price?
The price to be around $ 900 seems high at first, especially if you compare it to the tractor controls similar to S4, and although the Torq Xponent so what justifies the extra money to spend in comparison?
Because the features are mostly the same as the S4, the FX are very similar and iswith Traktor Pro with the option to be delivered free of charge upgrade to version 2.0. It has 4 channels of audio, but so do many other new controller.
However, Pioneer money spent on the rugged design of the device and the mixer. Instead of keys and loose plastic case, the DDJ-T1 has a strong, sensitive jog wheel, a natural feel for the mixer and intuitive button placement.
What's more is that you never the mouse from your PC or Mac when you touchTo find teachers of the fast lane, and the wheel to select, in a central position in the front. Many DJs have wheels with those high-end CDJ-400 CDJ decks, where Pioneer has a few points larger than the CD-DJ-tion of the world. This is a great advantage for DJs, the wheels with a lot of mix with.
Innovative features
There is also a great little trackpad that most controllers do not have. Put your finger on one elected position on the pad will now look for another part of the path andonce again, does not mean that you should not touch the mouse.
As a DJ, we are often unaware that digital DJing can sometimes seem like you are checking your Facebook with a keyboard and screen, instead of cooking a mix for a dance. This is always the challenge that we face when digital DJing. The title search and select fresh and cue-point setting is simple with the DDJ-T1.
The choice of effects, you do not need the keyboard. You will be able to scroll through the various sounds withoutto go near your PC or MAC.
What could have been done better?
The size of the controller is a bit 'too much for some people. I personally think it's good. Maybe it's because I'm an old school friend of DJ, who learned about the bridge and then moved to digital. I still think that a small controller does not seem so well and is a kind of hobby. I personally prefer a controller's largest daily.
The advantages of a slightly larger console that is large enough for you, so you can find itEasy to use keypad controls without accidentally dial a wrong and, of course, with some beautiful, large jog wheels to integrate, to blend with. And large jog wheels are cool, believe me. Some DJs still prefer something smaller but with the mixing console.
The entry barrier for some is the price. Usually pulls in about $ 1000. If you can afford it, then go ahead and get the DJ controller T1-DDJ.
Otherwise, if you think there is too much, or wait a fewMonths for the price to go, or simply take in more fresh DJ controller.
In any case, this is a decent, solid control for DJs, both experienced and inexperienced regulated.
