About this deal

The most visible difference is in the size and weight of the units. The DDJ-800 is nearly a quarter smaller than the DDJ-1000, and weights 1.3kg (2lb) less, coming in at 4.7kg. This makes it much more portable; while the DDJ-1000 is just about small enough to throw under your arm and move from place to place, the DDJ-800 definitely is. Dedicated buttons for Key Shift and Key Sync – take direct control of rekordbox dj key-related features The pads trigger hot cues, pad FX, Beat Jump, Sampler, Keyboard Mode, Beat Loop, and Key shift. A personal performance mode favorite of mine is the Key Shift.

They both have full Beat and Sound Color FX – although with limitations when DJing without the laptop on the DDJ-800 (see “Mixer” below for more info on this) This is how Serato has worked for years, and is convenient – and it’s not available on the DDJ-1000, which needs to work with a copy of Rekordbox that has an activated licence too. And as far as the things the DDJ-800 does that the DDJ-1000 doesn’t do, none of them are important enough to have any real affect on your choice. Truth is, both units are in many ways similar. So before we move on to the differences, let look at what they’ve got in common:The DDJ 800 has applaudable connectivity options. The DJ controller can function as a stand-alone mixer, operating two external phono/line inputs. The DDJ-800 features professional audio connections. Headphones connect to the front of the controller using either a smaller 1/8th TRS connection or the larger 1/4inch. The main speakers connect to either the balanced XLR or unbalanced RCA line-level outputs on the rear, both labelled master.

And while the price hike is certainly big enough to make you think twice about choosing the DDJ-1000 over the DDJ-800, it’s not so big that a “dealbreaker” feature may not make the difference for you. So let’s take a close look: The differences Size and weight Even so, if you were expecting “a DDJ-1000 with two channels”, you’ll likely be a bit disappointed in this unit, especially as the chances of such a unit appearing now are presumably zero.
