Pioneer DDJ-400
What’s the story?
Pioneer kit costing thousands is industry standard at most music venues. The DDJ-400 is a stripped-back bedroom controller modelled on the same layout that works with smartphones, tablets or laptops, and is even powered by them. It’s a two-channel mixer with twin decks for loading digital tracks and comes bundled with Pioneer’s Rekordbox DJ software. The DDJ-400 also features in-built tutorials for mastering the basics.
Is it any good?
