Both Rekordbox and WeDJ allow you to make use of the eight performance pads on each deck to set and jump to cues at multiple points throughout your tracks. With Rekordbox, you’ll have to use the music stored on your computer but you get loads more options for mixing and adding effects. The simple three-step guide that comes with the controller is a testament to how easy it is to get mixing with Pioneer’s entry-level decks. If you’re on a desktop, you’ll use Rekordbox, which also has a fluid setup with the DDJ-200.

Android users will have to load their own music onto their phones and play it from there, or download other DJ apps that allow streaming.
WeDJ offers integration with Beatport Link and SoundCloud Go but only via iPhone. For beginners to be given the opportunity to get familiar with this workflow is a nice touch.
#Rekordbox review software
The waveform view is found on desktop DJ software and in Pioneer DJ’s flagship decks, the CDJ2000 NXSs. It’s possible to swap the app’s main display of two vinyl decks to two waveform tracks, scrolling either vertically or horizontally. Leave aside any concerns regarding latency over Bluetooth – the controller and app are extremely responsive. Released alongside the DDJ-200 was Pioneer DJ’s mobile app WeDJ, which boasts an accessible and intuitive interface and is easily connected to the controller via Bluetooth MIDI. The device is powered via USB, either to a laptop or plug socket. It may have been nice if the 16 performance pads and Play/Cue buttons were rubber too, to lend the DDJ-200 a more premium air, but nothing here feels like it’s about to fall apart the faders are firm and smooth to ride and the EQ pots and jogwheels are strong and a pleasure to operate. Everything is plastic apart from the rims of the jogwheels, which are rubber. There are no gain controls on the DDJ-200 – gain is handled through software, so make sure you set this first otherwise you might accidentally expose yourself to ear-splitting volume. Hopefully, you already have an aux-equipped speaker, into which you can plug a 3.5mm jack (AKA an aux cable). You can’t, therefore, connect to a pair of speakers without a mixer, or a 3.5mm to RCA cable. The controller comes with a headphone splitter that starts from your phone or laptop and splits to your headphones and speaker, both using 3.5mm outs.
