  • Our take on the Pioneer DJ DJ Controller

    The Pioneer DJ DDJ-SB3 is a two-channel controller for Serato DJ Lite, built as the entry point into Pioneer's Serato line. Its standout feature is Pad Scratch, which lays eight scratch performances onto the pads so you can cut over a track without a turntable. The layout mirrors club gear, with a filter fade, FX controls and 5-inch aluminum jog wheels. It suits beginners and bedroom DJs who want a familiar feel before moving to CDJs; against rivals like the Numark Mixtrack it offers tighter Serato integration, but it is plastic-bodied and limited to two channels.

    Pros
    • Pad Scratch adds eight scratch patterns without a turntable
    • Filter Fade blends volume and filter on one control
    • 5-inch aluminum jog wheels give a solid scratch feel
    • Club-style layout that carries over to Pioneer's larger gear
    • Bus-powered over USB, so no separate power supply
    Cons
    • Two channels only, so no room to grow into four-deck mixing
    • Plastic chassis feels less rugged than metal rivals
    • Serato DJ Lite is the bundled software; the Pro upgrade is separate
    • No standalone mixing without a laptop
