Did I mention that I really like these jogs? Performance pads and transport The DDJ-RB comes with two rows of performance pads, plus Play/Pause and Cue buttons. They feel great, integrate tightly with Rekordbox DJ, and are a joy to use, especially at a controller this size because jogs are usually the first thing that get shrunk in smaller controllers. Yes, I had fun because my musical taste falls squarely in that age bracket.). I never really warmed up to the jogs on a Traktor Kontrol S4 / S2 because they were so small, and I actually prefer the jogwheel-less Kontrol S8 because of this.įor some reason, the black jogs strike me as making you look like you mean business when you’re spinning at even the kiddiest of kiddie parties (I’ve DJed a nine-year-old’s “rave”, for instance. The jogwheels are quite oversized for the device, and that’s a good thing. I’m really loving the form factor, especially coming from much larger controllers. They feel great and are responsive in Rekordbox DJ. Here is what’s new with the DDJ-RB: Jogwheels The jogwheels on a DDJ-RB are large, especially for a controller this small. I hooked the DDJ-RB to my laptop, ran Rekordbox DJ (it comes with the DDJ-RB, so no extra spend needed), and got to work. There’s a single 1/8″ headphone connector on the front of the unit (gasp, no 1/4″! What’s the world coming to?), and the back has a single pair of RCA master output jacks, a USB socket, and a 1/4″ mic input with volume. The two-channel mixer has faders and a crossfader that feel identical to the DDJ-RR, so that’s a plus for the DDJ-RB (or a minus for the DDJ-RR, if you want). The jogwheels here are almost the same as the DDJ-SB2: this time they come in a stylish black glossy finish and carry the Rekordbox logo. The DDJ-RB’s casing is made of hard plastic along with its facade, and the EQ and filter knobs are also made of plastic. Lightweight, compact, and a far cry from the “toy” plastic DJ controllers at the turn of the decade, the DDJ-RB looks like a serious device: don’t let the size fool you!
