The LowdownThe DDJ-WeGO3 updates the WeGO series of consumer-focused controllers, and brings with it a sleeker design and iOS connectivity. The WeGO3 is a neat, fun little controller that’s a good buy if you fancy hands-on control for DJing with an iPad, iPhone and / or laptop, or if you’re not sure what software you want to use yet. It has everything a beginner would need, and if you think your immediate DJing aspirations don’t move far beyond playing at home and possibly the odd house party, the WeGO3 is a great choice.
First Impressions / Setting up The DDJ-WeGO3 is the latest model in Pioneer’s WeGO series, and certainly the most “grown up” looking in the series so far.It’s dinky and colourful (especially when you take into account the gimmicky “pulse control” LED jogwheel lights), but actually, it’s more “grown up” looking than the previous models, sporting an aluminium top panel and a sturdy, plastic shell that overall feels reasonably weighty and serious. For all its obvious consumer leanings, it’s actually quite an assured design, and sleeker and more professional looking than the previous models.As the unit will work with various DJ software on iPad, iPhone and laptop, it has more input and output options than most.
To start with it comes with an AC adaptor (essential when using with iPad or iPhone in order to both power the unit, and to charge your iDevice while DJing). There’s a USB socket on the back which is usual for DJ controllers (for connecting a laptop), but in this instance, it can also be used for connecting to a USB mobile battery or USB power adaptor, again useful when DJing with iPad or iPhone.A supplied custom connector-to-Lightning lead is provided for connecting your iDevice (30-pin would need to be bought separately should you have an older device), and another nice touch in this miniaturised world is the inclusion of 1/8″ and 1/4″ headphones connectors. Apart from all of this, there’s a standard 1/4″ microphone jack with volume control, and RCA unbalanced output connections. A slot at the top of the WeGO3 lets you lodge iDevices up to the size of an iPad.Physically, a slot across the back of the unit lets you place your iDevice for a snug fit (a bit like the /, although at a more useful viewing angle). In Use The WeGO3 is compatible with a variety of software including Serato DJ and Traktor, and can even be used with djay 2 for the iPad, hence the various rear connections.We tested it with Virtual DJ LE, Serato DJ Intro and Algoriddim’s djay 2 software. While there are small differences between how it works with the different platforms, overall the performance is broadly the same, and one of the benefits of investing in a controller like this is that if you’re really not sure what software you may want to use, it lets you play with several types until you’re better equipped to make a decision. Thus we’ll try and keep this section as software agnostic as possible, concentrating instead on the controller itself.For basic, two-deck sync button DJing (it’s not designed for four-channel operation with any software), it works great.
The jogs are tight and responsive (we found them best in djay 2 and Serato DJ), and the play / pause and cue buttons are slightly bigger that the four cue / sample buttons that share their space across the bottom of each jog, so having them all clumped together isn’t really an issue.The low, mid, and high EQ control knobs are well spaced and full size, and the browse library encoder – while not as big as on most controllers – is easy to use, a push-to-click function switching focus from files to folders / playlists and back again. The only controls we weren’t overly impressed with here were the tempo sliders, which are awfully short-throw, making manual beatmatching a bit fiddly, though by no means impossible. And the jogwheels feel a bit “spongy”, with no inertia for spinbacks, which is a slight shame.Looping is done on three push-buttons but is simple and effective (more so than on the, which manages to make it harder to auto loop well even with more controls to do it on), and manual looping via the Shift modifier is a nice touch, too.The way FX work is limited, but fun.
You turn an effect on or off (it’s designed to work best with three simple FX per FX engine), and the top of the jogwheel then controls the wet / dry for any FX turned on. Conclusion The WeGO3 is a fun controller for home and party use, and manual beatmatching is still possible despite the short-throw pitch faders.The WeGO3 is a neat, fun little controller that’s a good buy if you fancy hands-on control for DJing with an iPad, iPhone and / or laptop, or if you’re not sure what software you want to use yet. It has everything a beginner would need, and some fun introductions to other types of features (effects, sampler etc).The light show from the jogwheels is overplayed by Pioneer (they cite practical uses but I think it’s going to be ignored by the vast majority of users), but it does add a fun element for house parties.
And despite the necessarily short-throw pitch faders, lack of cue mix, and no per-channel filters (although you can select a combo filter on the FX engines to get this feature), for its size, this is a perfectly serviceable little DJ controller.If you want a fun device from a good name that will work with just about any software and platform, and think your immediate DJing aspirations don’t move far beyond playing at home for fun and possibly the odd house party, the WeGO3 is a great choice. It’s not as cheap as some beginner controllers, but it’s a joy to use, and since it’s been designed to be versatile, you may just find that you get more use out of it than you might from a more limited device. Just bear in mind the price of software upgrades once you’ve settled on a package.We’ve been making an awful lot of beginner DJ training here at Digital DJ Tips recently (just relaunching our best-seller, for instance), and we found ourselves using this as our go-to controller quite a bit in these videos, so that says a lot about how easy to use and how much fun it is. I love my WeGO3 and recommend it to anyone. I think the sound quality is amazing and the build quality is pretty nice. I hate the lights. I wish they made this out of metal without the lights.
As for headphone cue/master, in VDJ8 I just remap the mid knob to control the cue/master in VDJ since I don’t need to adjust the mids during a mix. While I’m at it I remapped the Hi knob to Low and the Low to a hi/low filter so I can use the filter to roll off the highs if necessary. I picked this up for practice along with a gig in a small booth that I have. It’s become my go-to controller. I like the jogs.
I don’t like pads so the snick-snick button action is nice. Best of all, I can do creative eclectic bar mixes in VDJ8 then switch to Djay Pro on my MBP (as well as my iOS devices) and do a top-40 set for the dancers. In Djay, I just use it with the default mapping because it is a bit of a kluge program without even a way to do a headphone/master pan.Overall, It’s a great piece of gear. I wish faderfox made something like this with a soundcard and little touch-sensitive jogs. I have just got one of these and so far I am happy with it. To be honest even though the pro tag is not firmly stamped on this thing officially, for regular party’s and functions this controller really is sufficient regardless. I love the size.
The features suffice and the sound quality is easily good enough for 99% of gigs. The software flexibility is very helpful too. With an iPad mini this thing sits on top of a 3u flight case naturally while inside the flight is everything the mobile DJ needs these days (not being sold on active speakers quite yet thank you). Also looking back at the Vestax VCI 300 mk2 of which was in and around 3 times the price I really do not have the time for stingey wingers who say approx £200 is steep! £200 is a decent enough figure for the flexibility and sound quality this unit affords of which 12 years ago would have cost you a heck of a lot more.
I dropped my SX2 because I was not happy with the care it demands and the space and energy it takes to carry even though the pro aspects are there like XLR blah, blah. The RCA on the Wego provide (with right set up) no reason to complain. The mics fine as is the headphone. The size is practical. It is a well balanced shape a bit like the VCI 300 of which there are not enough choice with these dimensions and I certainly still believe it is an area manufactures would wise to keep an eye on.
Great controller!. Ok I have had this unit since December 2014 as the features and specs really looked amazing when used with Djay. This model is far the best one out of the previous versions BUT after testing it multiple times I noticed the iPad was not charging as stated in the specs and manual that it does charge. I tried all the possible combinations using the correct Apple connectors-adaptors but my iPad Air battery power percentage would slowly decline. So I wrote to Pioneer Support. This is what they said.Subject: Not chaging IPAD AIRDEC 03, 2014 02:00PM ESTHans Weiss replied:Hi Wayne,Unfortunately at the moment, Pioneer Electronics Australia do not retail the DDJ-WeGo3.

Phil,I loved how this unit looked, but then I saw the lack of four channel operation.
I was looking for a Serato approved backup/portable controller for small/impromtu gigs. The Numark Edge was appealing but had too many negative reviews on build quality and also was only two decks.I finally settled on the first version of this controller – the Wego 1, and I am really happy.It does not have the tray and ease of connectivity options as the Wego 3 does, but it checks all the above boxes for me:– Serato approved– Four channel– Backpack footprint/size– iOS compatibleIt can be bought new or picked up used on ebay, like I did.RD. I purchased one of these and I really like it.Although it works with various DJ programs, I have really tested it only with DJay 2 and DJay Pro on Mac and iPad/iPhone.Well it is not professional, but it works with so many programs and it is small, that you can carry it anywhere.There are 2 things that don’t work.
But also without these it’s still the best controller for my needs right now.1st issue: the cross fader and other faders have a big delay, when using iPad. With Mac everything is fine.2nd issue: actually no issue, but it would be cool, if Traktor DJ for iPad would work with the Wego3 too.
