To the owners of DDJ-RX - opinion, help, feedback, survey. (Brasil)

I recently sold my controller Traktor Kontrol S4 - MK1 and I want to invest in a Pioneer equipment.
I had a serious problem with my S4, a bug in the left time that affected several users. NI is not a serious company, if it would have solved this problem with us, users of the product.
I was very traumatized, here in Brazil things are very expensive, to have an idea the minimum wage here is R$ 800 and a DDJ-RX leaves for R$ 5,000, a staff with basic employment has to work for more than 6 months and a half without spending anything to acquire one of these.
So the only solution for me is to import, with her for about R$ 3,500 if you have to come from outside the country.
The problem is that doing this I do not get warranty in Brazil, as I had this problem with Kontrol S4 and lost a lot of money, I'm worried about my future purchase. I'm afraid of going through some similar problem and not having the warranty to cover it.

I must confess that I found the controller DDJ-RX very beautiful, her resources surprised me, I did not touch her but it seemed perfect for my kind of performance.
So I started the research, I found little material in my language (PT-BR), I could not talk to anyone who has it and I'm afraid of being a first product of a line, about using Rekordbox DJ that is very new.
It is a new controller and new software, there are always several problems, bugs, li batante reports here about various types of problems of it including no detection of the driver asio, problems in the jog, lag in the fader and the pad.
I come from the traktor, but I have no problem at all using rekordbox dj or serato, or virtual dj and others, I actually end up using only the same library screen, I do not use the visuals. So I have no problem migrating software, my concern is whether it is stable, if it works well, if I can rely on hardware and software during my presentations?

To the friends of these owners, I would like to hear feedback, about the equipment, about the quality of the material, about the jogs and everything else, I would also like to know about the stability of rekordbox, you can trust this set.

Do you think I could have a headache? What do they tell me?
I ask for help to give a correct shot, I can not buy other equipment that can present problems, lose money as happened with Kontrol.

Anyway, what they tell me about the equipment, the set, the playability of it, does it remind you of some CDJ in the style of playing, BPM hit, etc.?
Worth to buy?

Thank you

Olá,

I believe you speak Portuguese :), if not let me know I can write in English, I am from São Paulo.

Eu tinha uma DDJ-SX2 e esta muito satisfeito com o equipamento mas não muito com o Serato, esta controladora é compatível com a DDJ-RX que você pergunta e posso te dizer que vale a pena sim comprar.

Eu cheguei utilizar minha SX2 com o Rekordbox e ela funcionava muito bem também e eu fiquei mais satisfeito com o Rekordbox do que com o Serato.

Decidi fazer um upgrade e comprar uma RZX e apesar de alguns bug's no firmware dela também estou satisfeito.

Os produtos Pioneer são bem robustos, bem acabados e funcionais acredito que você ficará satisfeito se investir em uma RX também.

Eu utilizo no local onde faço aulas CDJ2000NXS + DJM-900NXS e as controladoras Pioneer na minha opinião são as que mais se aproximam deste tipo de setup, claro que a proposta é outra e existem diferenças mas se você usar uma controladora como a RX vai ter uma curva de aprendizado menor se pretender usar CDJ + Mixer no futuro.

Hello, how nice to meet someone who speaks our language, lol
I'm from the interior of São Paulo.

I must confess that I am quite scared to buy after reading so many reports of problems. Here in Brazil the controller is in an absurd value, can not buy, so I will have to end up importing and doing so I am without warranty of the product here in Brazil.
I have read so many reports of problems and I am on the back foot as stability, they are the first controllers of the series and I have only seen the staff complaining everywhere. Is it a reliable product for presentations? Problems with locking, malfunction? Can she stand in the same step?

Olá, que bom encontrar alguém que fale a nossa língua, rs
Sou do interior de São Paulo.

Eu devo confessar que estou com bastante medo de comprar depois de ler tantos relatos de problemas. Aqui no Brasil a controladora está em um valor absurdo, não tem como comprar, sendo assim vou ter que acabar importando e fazendo isso eu fico sem a garantia do produto aqui no Brasil.
Tenho lido tantos relatos de problemas e estou com o pé atrás quanto a estabilidade, são as primeiras controladoras da série e só tenho visto o pessoal reclamando por toda parte. Será que é um produto confiável para apresentações? Problemas com travamento, mau funcionamento? Ela aguenta na pauleira mesmo?
