Product Information

Find out how to hook up your external equipment such as turntables, headphones, and speakers. Connect your PC/Mac and start playing music stored in your rekordbox library. How to use the professional features on the DDJ-800 Out of the box, it’s immediately apparent that the build quality of the 800 is decent, if understandably not quite up to the standard of Pioneer’s range-topping gear. You can also see where features have been dropped from the DDJ-1000 to make a smaller, more affordable unit. A large Beat FX on/off button indicates when an FX is active by blinking, whilst a level/depth control allows you to shape your sound and set the intensity of the effect. An FX selector will enable you to choose which channel is affected, while beat buttons let you change the speed/tempo of an effect. The mixer can be used as a standalone DJ mixer if needed, and offers RCA/Phono inputs for connecting media players and turntables; however, the effects will only work when using the Rekordbox software.

Dedicated buttons for Key Shift and Key Sync – take direct control of rekordbox dj key-related featuresI’m sure you can find your unique style with an array of Pad FX performance modes. Best Alternatives to the DDJ-800 Tap the in-loop button to start a loop or to create an automatic 4-beat. I usually go with the standard 4-beat looping and then use the cue/loop call buttons to shift the loop length as I see fit. Perform with the DDJ-800 as if you’re using our flagship setup. All the buttons, knobs, and faders on the controller are arranged and used in the same way as those on our club-standard CDJ-2000NXS2 and DJM-900NXS2 setup.

Move onto more advanced techniques. Start setting loops and use the Performance Pads to trigger Hot Cues, Pad FX, Beat Jump and more. Get creative with Slip mode, Sound Color FX, and Beat FX. How to change settings on the DDJ-800 There are two mic inputs on the DDJ 800, which is somewhat uncommon for most DJ controller units. You can have an MC and a vocalist join in on your mix at the same time. Take a pro setup wherever you go with the DDJ-800, a new compact 2-channel DJ performance controller for dedicated use with our professional performance application, rekordbox dj. The DDJ-800 is designed to help you get the most from the new features coming to the software with the release of rekordbox v5.5.0.
