For anyone wanting to upgrade their controller to the 800 plz do yourself a huge favor and save up a little more for the 1000. I promise you will be happy you did!!
Both are not worth the money, I have the ddj800 because is smaller and lighter and fits the same case from XDJ R1.. the only thing I miss from ddj 1000 is hte efect on the mic which 800 doesn't have. Both have a cheap feel, they work great but they don't feel solid enough for me.
@Terry Jackson uh huh and you’re a world renowned superstar club DJ right? That’s why you’re in the TH-cam comments section talking poop to people you know very little about! Your life must be absolutely amazing 😂
@@icsux -What controller do you feel does have good quality- worth the money? More specifically is there any controller $1,000 or less that you'd recommend?
The controller is nice but compare it with the 1000, I not think so. Pioneer made the mistake by charging $899 for this until without a 2 USB plug in. If I want to have another DJ to do a tag set, I can't. The DDJ 800 to me is a cross from the DDJ 400 and the DDJ 1000. Again, the reason I would not purchase it is the price. The DDJ 1000 priced at $1199 usd. The DDJ 400 (which I use currently) price at $249 usd. See the difference? If they would have price it at $599, I would purchase it right away. Unless Pioneer lower the price, I am afraid this unit will not sell well. I rather wait and save up the $1200 for the DDJ 1000 for it will be the last controller needed for DJs like me to play out in clubs and festivals.
Couldn't have said it better myself. If this was down to a $600~ price range, I could see it being a more viable option for some but you really are better off saving up and going with the 1000 because that thing is solid.
1:20 the only thing that really change is the jogwheels and the four channels also crossfader the jogwheels are mechanical on the 1000s and on the 800 hundred are touch capacitive.
Unlike Denons where you can adjust the sensitivity on each jog wheel to suit the user. And they are multi touch platters as well. Something Pioneer still cannot do.
Seeing Pioneer decided to produce a DDJ-1000SRT for Serato why do they not produce a DDJ-800 for Serato, I have nothing against the Rekordbox software but having used Serato for some time and being comfortable with it, a Serato DDJ-800 would be a sharp move for Pioneer as it would increase the sales of the 800 dramatically for those Serato users that, like me do not need the 4 channels on the 1000SRT, I would by a DDJ-800SRT tomorrow.
What’s with the djays thing that makes people crazy buying it like a never ending upgrades of smart phones? Common people save your money and pay your bills 😄
What about the crossfader? I've seen where some said it's not as durable as the 1 on the 1000, thus it's not recommended for scratching as such. Is that the case?
Why would you need 4 channels...?You only can mix 2 songs @ a time..?am I wright or not?..what I mean is...what are the benefits of a 4-channel controller?..thanx
Having 4-channels on a controller has the same benefit as with CDJs. A 4-channel controller has a button on both sides to flick between two decks. (ie. left deck switches between deck 1 & 3).
@@gixxerboy555 No you can have 4 tracks running at the same time with a 4 channel controller, allowing you to mix them all together. And he pads on it feel as good as the DDJ-1000!
@gixxerboy555 check out djs like Jeff Mills. He used to DJ with vinyl on 3 turntables & use a Roland 909 drum machine as well! He was known as “The Wizard”!
Depends on if you prefer traktor or rekordbox. I use traktor so would say s4 although i do think the ddj800 looks more professional and similar to what you would find in every club. But i think it comes down to what software you are using and feel comfortable with
They're both great controllers at very different price points. All comes down to what you can afford and what features you need from it, both do the job very well.
Another reason why the DDJ 800 will not do too well. Mobile DJs will not like the fact they can't use the FX when they connect their turntables and use the 800 as the stand alone mixer. This is also the reason I said the $899 price will not be worth it.
Yawn..... another 2 channel controller from Pioneer with no new features and an over inflated price. And they wonder why they are loosing the market to Denon DJ.
or they could be like "i can just roll up to 'da club' and... wait whats this....! ...the club has upgraded to denon sc prime series!... i need to buy denon" hahaha
I really see no reason for getting this controller. It's not that much more capable than the DDJ-400 for more than 3 times the price. If you'd want to spend close to a grand on a controller anyway just get the DDJ-1000. it's only €200 more expensive and you'll get way better value, 4 channels and cdj style jog wheels.
I just made this transition. I went from DDJ400 to DDJ 800 and have to say, it´s a different world. Everything... EG, PADs, knobs are way better. EQ is more sensitive. For ex, when I made mix on 400, It was very obvious when i started to killl midle freq., here at 800 is much more smoother and you can do your mixes really without noticing, that you are adjusting EQs. Ofcourse depends, what kind of mix you do. For quick mashup, DDJ 400 do OK, but I play progressive and deep house and really like long transmitions. DDJ800 works for me pretty well and I am super excited from this unit.
@@sopyzationAgree with you. I love my DDJ-800. Especially the fact that I can select the FX directly from the controller. And I feel more confident to play on CDJs one day.
Well, I’m about to upgrade from 400 to 800 and the main reason I will not buy the 1000 is because, at least, I do not need all the features of the 1000. I am a beginner, and DJing is only a Hobby for me thus I have no reason to spend $200 additional dollars. Also, the size is perfect, is not so big as the 1000 and it makes it very confortable for me to carry it to a party or even my backyard. So, if this is your work, then go for the 1000, but if you only want to have some fun, then go for the 800.
@@boronamixIm sure I said "S4". The Traktor S4". The S4 and the Denon MC7000 are the best controllers on the market at this time. And have been for a long time.
You know you can edit controller functions in MIDI tab on rekorbox, right? It is a lot more complicated, but you can assign or change functions. I added slip mode, keyboard mode, auto loop, tempo range functions on my Ddj Rb even tho it doesn't have these functions

Yes it's a very similar size to the SX3 & RX, just a touch smaller than those by only a few centimetres.
It has the same sound quality output like the DDJ 1000?
like with the 1000; don't like the face-plate on the mixer section, very 'finger-print sensitive'
