They are a bit loud initially, so you’ll want to adjust their volume via the touchscreen feature in the software when sorting out what you want. #5. Slicer

Still, there are downsides to this. While the size is a fun novelty, considering everything that’s included, it is much more of an annoyance due to just how cramped its button space is. A sensational micro DJ controller, the Numark Party Mix Live is a portable solution designed for use with Serato software. The included iPad/phone stand is a nice touch, the slot being wide enough to accommodate the square pro edged models. The limited real estate on the small controller has lead to a mirrored design. Although we are usually critical of such a decision, on the Buddy it makes perfect sense. Keeping the tempo faders and loop encoders away from the busy mixer section. Hot cues work as they do in all software. Tap a hot cue to set it, hold down Shift and tap it to delete it. 2. Auto loopThe controller has all the expected button inputs readily available. The play/pause button, along with the sync and hot cue buttons all work very well, as do the faders. From a starting “fresh out of the box” look, the first thing you’re going to notice is that this thing is super small, it can definitely be classified as a micro DJ controller. Not only that, but the controller is entirely plastic.

It’s a good alternative to doing it on the mixer knobs, especially if you want to use the mixer knobs and filters at the same time. and the drum swap addition is cool. 8.

The Reloop Buddy DJ Pro is a great option for those that truly enjoy the versatility and mobility that comes with a smaller and more portable DJ controller.

Sadly even though the Reloop Buddy features hardware controls for changing the effect parameters, there is no visual indication to confirm the changes made. This is somewhat of a recurrent theme with Algoriddim Djay, with the user forced to manually change views on the iPad to see what changes the buttons have made. Performance Pads The software does say that there is a third, “middle”, EQ knob, however, the Reloop simply just didn’t include it as an aspect for whatever reason. You can control the headphones volume using one of the three knobs on the right-hand edge of the controller, and control the mix between the cued sound and the master output by turning the second knob (the master volume knob is the third knob here). Looping While it isn’t particularly powerful or altogether incredible, the Reloop Buddy DJ Pro still has a lot of potential with a lot of things going for it. Not only does it have a lot of different features going for it, but its small and portable nature makes it a surprisingly useful and versatile DJ controller system. Reloop’s new entry-level controller is your friend if you’re looking for an intuitive way to learn how to mix.
