![]() Overall the impression is of a solid, imposing and built-for-business DJ controller, which while not exactly made with the most expensive components, is built to last and do a job. It is mid metallic grey in colour with darker jogwheels and a mix of mid-grey and black knobs and faders. ![]() It’s a similar size to the Numark NS6, but bulkier due to those feet (however, it’s also predominantly plastic albeit with a metal chassis, so it’s lighter than the Numark unit). There are also big (removable) plastic feet raising the unit up to a good few inches from the surface it’s placed on, further adding to its stature. The unit is big! Everything is jumbo compared to the majority of DJ controllers, so it feels well spaced out, with big jogwheels (similar to those on Pioneer’s lower-end CDJ players), long-throw pitch faders, a decent-sized mixer section, and big play/pause and cue buttons in the typical Pioneer styling. When Traktor Pro 2 came out, Pioneer followed up with a Traktor 2 version of the software for the DDJ-T1, and we wanted to review the unit with this software in place, as this is what new buyers will be using it with out of the box. One of the main differences between the two controllers is that the DDJ-S1 is for Serato ITCH software, and the DDJ-T1 is for Traktor. We’ve already reviewed the DDJ-S1 here, but we’ve yet to take a close look at the DDJ-T1. But earlier this year it launched the DDJ-S1 and the DDJ-T1. Pioneer came late to the digital DJing party, at least as far as controller DJing goes.
