    Anything cheaper than a Pioneer option is considerable.
    4 channel (preferably stand-alone) mixer, filter knobs are a plus.
    My goal in DJ-ing? Help people have fun, I guess.
    I am playing out quite frequently. Also I have some ideas I want to try out, but it requires 4 decks.
    I think that today Serato DJ controllers come out with a fully equipped FX unit (meaning, controlling the 3 effect mode easily, rather than just one and trying to figure out how the other 2 work with the performance pads or whatever)
    Basically, I understand that a combination of Denon DJ MC6000mk2 with the DDJ-SP1 will pretty much cover all of it but the filter knobs, but I guess I could just map one of the FX knobs on the MC6000mk2 to do this, as I’ll have full control over FX and performance pads on the SP1.
    Another option I was told to looks at is Denon’s MC7000, but I don’t see many reviews and videos about it online, so if anybody’s got one – please share your experience.
    I don’t know what other controllers but Reloop (which I don’t think have stand-alone capability).
    In short, something that will last for a good while and be a good investment into the future.

    Thanks!

    So, any recommendations for a 4 channel Serato DJ controller?

    Thank you for your responses!

    About Vestax, I know they are bankrupt and do not offer support anymore, but I had 0 issues with the VCI-380 and SDJ, and as far as the VCI-400, why would there be future software related problems if I can map pretty much every midi command to whatever I want?
    If I want to upgrade to a 4 channel controller, what would you recommend? I don’t want to switch from Serato so I’d rather stay with a dedicated controller or one that is comfortably mappable. Everything I see is very expensive, and frankly the VCI-400 looks like it could do the job for half (or even less) the prices I see on the market today.

    Once again, thank you all!

    Most controllers I’ve seen are quite expensive, I’m using the VCI-380 and it’s wonderful. Adding two more channels and additional control to cover all SDJ functions is really very good. Also, completely midi mappable and a standalone mixer for a very good price.
    I don’t see the Vestax products as inferior to their Native Instruments or Numark counterparts.
    I don’t see any reason why a completely midi mappable controller would have issues with new software as long as it’s midi supported. Switching controllers every year isn’t really necessary imo, if the combination of the 380 with SP1 will add the functions I might want, and maybe give me more control than the 400. Other controllers that offer the same capabilities I’ve seen for at least twice the price of the VCI-400.
    If there’s anyone who has experience with a SDJ controller with the SP1 in the setup, I would love to hear your thoughts, as I couldn’t find much info online besides when using the SP1 with a DVS system (not my case).

    If you’re into Serato DJ and you’re a beginner I would recommend using a Vestax controller, they’re pretty cheap but they are very good and durable. I also loved the soundcard on my VCI-380. Some Reloop controllers are also great.
