IT'S MORE AND MORE OBVIOUS VIRTUAL DJ CANNOT WORK PROPERLY ON OUR HARDWARE. EVERY SINGLE F***ING PERSON WITH A DDJ-SX IS HAVING ISSUES 10 MONTHS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THIS PRODUCT........ WITH VIRTUAL DJ ONLY... WORKS AWSOME IN TRACTOR, AND OF COURSE WORKS FLAWLESSLY IN SERATO DJ

The native mapping in v7.4 was designed for 4 deck use. If you are using it with 2 decks, then you will need to download and install the updated mapper that takes this into account (To avoid VirtualDJ 'wrapping' decks 3&4 back to 1&2): http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/15822/Pioneer_DDJ-SX_(Native).html

Ideally for best results, you should use it with a 4 deck skin as intended by the manufacturer.

The only other issue that we are aware of is lag if you scratch on both decks simultaneously, but this is not something that most DJ's would be doing in a live performance. It's appears to be caused by the slicer section, which due to not currently being a native function in VirtualDJ is implemented using some very complex VDJscript. If you need to be able to scratch on both decks simultaneously, try deleting the slicer mappings and map them to something else (E.g: Triggering effects, etc.) This may be something that can be improved in a future version of VirtualDJ if slicer becomes a native function.

NOTE: The DDJ-SX should be used in the default Serato mode, otherwise the platter LED's will not work well.
