Your storytelling is so clear and well constructed.

[@imgre8isabelo]

I was waiting for this video for so long .Especially for South Africans

[@thozimusic]

You can find all these controllers on Takealot or Soundselect ;)

[@itsamedjmario]

Hercules is a "beginner controller" it has a beat matching guide that works excellent for new DJs to learn how to beat match

[@thozimusic]

That's true, the FLX 4 has some features of that nature. But what you are describing is a guide that teaches you how to do the thing, instead of doing the thing, you know what I mean? That's what I meant

[@lukaszgreg8437]

I love my DDJ400, but started with DDJ200 which I am still using on holiday. Both brilliant for hobby

[@GoodEarSounds]

Thanks Bafo for the videos you made me to purchase FLX4, I love it. Now I can't wait for you to make a video which will help in making money without gigs.

[@blackpoeticfire9068]

Very informative! New sub for sure. God bless you!

[@JayCmi-cw4mo]

Thanks alot grootman i always watch your videos for learning more about djing cause am still a beginner but i would be much happy if you can make a video on how to get gigs or get booked😁

[@thozimusic]

I will make a video on that, but also how to make money without gigs

[@JayCmi-cw4mo]

@@thozimusicThat's also great bro

[@GoodEarSounds]

Would love this video​@@thozimusic

[@JamesAttenburrow]

Hi, is there a controller that i can use usb sticks and have access to all four channels (no laptop)​@@thozimusicthanks

[@djjas-v9871]

Where is the prime 4 of denon??

[@insidedraw]

Thank you, brother!

[@joel__2902]

Loved the video, dropped a sub

[@nikolodj]

I disagree with the standalones. Best standalones I believe are: 2 channel: Pioneer RX2/ RX3 4 channel: Pioneer XZ And if any DJ has a low budget but he is determined its better to buy a used older but High End / Premium model (ex. DDJ800/1000 or even DDJ SX2) rather than a entry level brand new one. That is my opinion as a DJ :) !!!

[@thozimusic]

I get you but I’d be a terrible content creator if all I did was suggest one brand that is overcharging their customers for gear. RX3 is a really good choice, XZ would be a great suggestion if it wasn’t so expensive and kinda outdated (even the screens on the RX3 are way better, doesn’t support RGB waveforms too), also not everyone actually NEEDS something as beefed up as the XZ. Prime 4+ is a better option across the board (even compared to the opus quad) but it too didn’t make the list. The list is about giving people a few options for each tier, best for the consumer, not because it’s the most beefed up and expensive thing there is out there

[@satyalove7]

Which one would you recommend for a beginner who travels a lot and wants to bring it everywhere?

[@thozimusic]

I think the numark pro go is a great option for that

[@Barnsey87]

Pros can make anything work and beginners will eventually upgrade so buy good mid range or go for high end get a warranty and keep the box!

[@thozimusic]

I actually cannot think of any reason why anyone would argue with this 🔥

[@fumes1541]

Great video. Earned my sub.

[@thozimusic]

Thanks bro, I really appreciate it

[@evvymadeit]

Same

[@nuggetyoda8480]

What about the hercules impulse 200mk2?

[@thozimusic]

Thank you

[@ToddBryantsr]

The Denon Prime 4+ is the best of the best.

[@thozimusic]

No lie, but I believe it has been discontinued. It sucks that the SC Lives are newer but still inferior to it

[@ToddBryantsr]

@@thozimusic the Prime 4+ has not been discontinued.

[@Showboycinema]

No not disconnected prime 4+ is the greatest controller yet I have one and it’s awesome than the controllers you’re advertising

[@NeroDj75]

Numark Mixstream Pro+ 🤙🏼

[@torinmartinez4331]

Great video partner! Curios your thoughts on the Rane Performer. Been of the DDJ-1000 SRT for a few years and keeping it, but the Rane Performer seems like the best ever built

[@thozimusic]

Oh the rane is better in every single way 😅… especially if you’re a more creative and technical DJ

[@chickovoro7442]

Great video grootman

[@Laludzdj]

Really good content 👌

[@MrMyselfff]

10/10 video

[@MikeCore]

I see that lowfree flow 👀good taste good taste

[@MikeCore]

on a dj note, I'm looking at the flx4 but, most to everything talking about it is coming up to a year old. makes me worry something new will drop real soon at the same price level.

[@JohnnThomas]

Great video , what do you think about Pioneer DJ Controller DDJ-SB3 Serato or Better to buy the FLX4 ?

[@WizardGod]

flx 4

[@dagnut]

Save money and get a used ddj 400

[@LORDVEEZUS]

@@dagnut DDJ 400 has a very bad sound card

[@dagnut]

@LORDVEEZUS it's fine for home use

[@LORDVEEZUS]

@@dagnut Yeah for home its fine but still a waste of 6K

[@donnewesso788]

Love you videos my bru, what is your view on the Pioneer XDJ-RR?

[@thozimusic]

It’s a bit limited but honestly it gets the job done. If you need a standalone unit and have a budget limited, it’s a great option

[@mrkruger1]

Noted ✅

[@LORDVEEZUS]

If you gonna use Rekordbox dont bother unless you gonna buy a DDJ1000 as from now on Pioneer is no longer Pioneer... Best use Traktor Pro or VDJ Pro with Denon hardware.

[@thozimusic]

Bro I’ve been using traktor for the last couple of days and holy shit!! I didn’t know what I didn’t know 🫠

[@LORDVEEZUS]

@@thozimusic sound quality is 10/10

[@DJ.B_74]

Everywhere I look there's so much hate on the flx6. Why is that? It's not for anybody?

[@thozimusic]

ha ha, I didn't know people hated it. Do you own one?

[@vegaf2011]

Which one is standalone but can also connect to a computer? Including stream music online and can use a USB stick ???

[@thozimusic]

They all have the ability to do that

[@vegaf2011]

@@thozimusic lmfao 😭😭😭 thank you 🙏🏻

[@pcplsdxtc]

Not even a word about NI Traktor Dj controllers...

[@dagnut]

Solid gear but when's the last time they did anything new?

[@LORDVEEZUS]

BEST sounding software and hardware

[@eliasouliehuse1933]

Also the Hercules T7 has a «beatmatch guide» a tool to help BEGINNERS learn how to beatmatch. So there ARE controllers SPESIFICALLY made with features for BEGINNERS, which aren’t around on other gear

[@williamfunch-hansen6623]

flx10 or rane four?

[@williamfunch-hansen6623]

or should i just go all in and buy the denon dj prime 4+

[@porschaladonna]

perk o_O?

[@djbabygggudani7911]

What is RGB??

[@denodemastunner9500]

Red green and blue.

[@kingz3rg]

Performance pads, which can glow in different colours.

[@josephkakooza8682]

How can I get it

[@thozimusic]

a controller?

[@JizuiHanaiyama]

And XDJ-RX3? 😅

[@thozimusic]

My next purchase!! I figured that if I mention every single controller or have 1 brand appear multiple times in a single category the video would be too long, but yeah the rx3 is pretty dope

[@S.P.H.E]

Sbonge 🙌🏾
