The DDJ-SB2 also works with Virtual DJ 8, djay Pro and Traktor Pro 2. The DDJ-SB2 was originally meant to work with Serato DJ, but when Pioneer DJ released Rekordbox DJ a few years back, it extended the DDJ-SB2’s compatibility list to include it. The biggest difference between the two controllers is the software that they work with.

In our first Head To Head feature we stack up two of its most popular “serious beginner” controllers: the DDJ-SB2 and the DDJ-RB. Pioneer DJ has been prolific in the DJ controllers arena, making everything from casual devices (eg the DDJ-WeGO series) to all-out pro kit that rivals what you’d see in club installations. There’s no shortage of entry-level controllers for the beginner who wants to step up from his or her “toy” controller onto something with a more professional feature set and look. We pit two Pioneer DJ controllers, the DDJ-SB2 Serato DJ controller and the DDJ-RB Rekordbox DJ controller, in our first ever Head To Head comparison feature.
