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 copped a DDJ-SX2 yesterday from Guitar Center for $399. Brand new! It was a steal and I couldn't pass it up. It was the last one they had!!
  • Great Video! Thanks for sharing your go-to features. The track pad is so helpful and I love how it shows up on the wheels so that you can get to that spot.
  • @DJDevine
    Went from vinyl to the sx2 got one of the first 1000 produced and still love it... Cheers
  • 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.
  • 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?
  • @dhudson369
    Question... can you use the XLR and RCA audio outputs at the same time i.e using active speakers through XLR and an AMP through RCA giving you more speakers and power?
  • Nice video Phil Harris, just one problem I've got an SX3 and when I press the sync button the sync icon on the other deck comes on what's up with that? Please explain if you can
  • @michaelhwatson
    Phil, how do you feel about the new Serato version DDJ-1000SRT? Will you be switching over, and if so, why? I'm trying to decide between it and an SX3. Thanks!
  • @jobalboa3773
    It woudnt be crazy to have this as my first controller would it?
  • @woower100
    My roll keys all went down a beat, like the top left one loops a longer time now, any idea on how to reset it?
  • @reddepo
    13:40 Don’t know why you wouldn’t use the feature...like when producing your own transitions during a set. Just add a filter and you’re done...not to mentioned adds some flare. ;)
  • @kobbykobby1984
    I found this used for £320 is it a good beginner controller and can u use this with serato DJ lite
  • @Royal_dj_ent
    I heard there is a knob which also can be used to forward and rewind the tracks. Can you confirm this?
