The All-In-One DJ Controllers Grow In Popularity!

Published

on

As a DJ, you’ve probably heard someone chuckle “All you’re doin’ is pushin’ buttons!” at you and your crew now and then. But really dude, playing keys or drums also boils down to button-pushin’, right?

So whether you’re an experienced selector or just getting your feet wet, one of those all-in-one DJ controllers can let you rock pro-level sets just by – ya guessed it -pushin’ buttons!

Now I’m not sayin’ it’s all buttons and no brain when you’re mixxin’. Fancy gear sure helps, but even a basic board can get you to learn the fundamentals. And that’s the straight path to success as a DJ, ya dig?

Level Up Your DJ Setup with All-in-One Controllers

When we talk all-in-one DJ controllers, we mean a USB MIDI machine that’s got audio chops built-in and enough dials to do your whole gig as a one-machine wonder. Usually, that’s a rig that squishes two decks and a mixer into one box. These days they throw in some sweet effect, loop, sample, and cue triggers too.

‘Course if you want more, add extra controllers to your setup. Big things to think about are price, what software it runs, and if it’s a two or four-channel mixer. Just follow your ambition, brother!

Navigating DJ Controllers and Price Ranges

Nowadays, most DJ software is all about that 4-deck mixing game. That means you can have four tracks playing and being mixed at the same damn time! Talk about taking your DJ skills to the next level, right?

Now, when it comes to the price tag, it all depends on what you’re looking for as a DJ. DJ Controllers come in three different price ranges: less than 500 bucks, 500 to 999 bucks, and a grand or more. Some of these bad boys even come with software included, either a limited version or a full-blown professional program.

But here’s a pro tip for you: if you really wanna score some sick DJ gigs, start producing your own music. And guess what? You’re already doing that! Playing your own tracks during your sets is a killer way to get your music out there and gain some serious exposure. DJing and music production go hand in hand, my friend.

Oh, and by the way, my personal favorite all-in-one DJ Controller is the Pioneer DDJ T1. It’s got all the bells and whistles you need to rock the crowd and keep the party going strong. Trust me, it’s a game-changer!
