⚠️ Get Pioneer DDJ-REV1 at The DJ Hookup! https://passionatedj.com/yt/hookup_rev1 The DDJ-REV1 is a "scratch style" Serato controller from Pioneer DJ, featuring a layout reminiscent of a battle DJ setup. Like a DJM-S series mixer, it features FX paddles for quick engagement. 00:00 | Introduction 01:40 | Scratch Demo I 02:20 | Design & Layout 07:52 | Why "Battle Style"? 09:49 | Ports & Connections 11:02 | Scratch Demo II 11:35 | *FX & Special Features 15:40 | Final Thoughts *yeah, I mistitled this. Oops! "The DDJ-REV1 matches perfectly with the free Serato DJ Lite software, boasting a brand-new battle-style layout that’s easy to use and perfect for playing like a pro. The design of this 2-channel DJ controller emulates a professional DJM-S mixer + PLX turntable setup, including specialized features for open-format and scratch DJs." In this review, I talk about the high level of value you get from this DJ controller (hence my title of "best DJ controller for $250). It's impressive how far we've come in the DJ hardware industry! The REV1's price and accessibility makes it a perfect match for a beginner DJ, especially (but not limited to) those who are interested in learning to scratch. The Tracking Scratch feature silently takes the music back to the cue point the moment you move the jog wheel from backward to forward or lift your hand away – saving you from closing the fader and finding the right place in the music to start the scratch again. All you need to do is to select the Tracking Scratch Pad mode, press a Performance Pad to choose the Scratch Crossfader Cuts pattern you want to use, then start moving the jog. ⚠️ Get Pioneer DDJ-REV1 at The DJ Hookup! https://passionatedj.com/yt/hookup_rev1 👉 Check my DJ Controllers Guide: https://passionatedj.com/controllers 📸 Fatty Lumpkin on Instagram: https://instagram.com/fatty__lumpkin
