I just received my prime 4 yesterday. This really is an amazing piece of kit. I used to DJ on vinyl and cd's over 20 years ago even played at a club, but stopped because i got married and had 3 kids. Seeing what this unit can do is incredible. I almost feel like it makes it too easy. No more scrambling for a record, spinning to the cue and beat matching with no time to spare. Now I got too much time between tracks because all the heavy lifting work takes seconds. Thanks for the tutorial

@@digitaldjtips I had a Pioneer XDJ-RX which was great but recently changed to Prime 4. Like most DJ's in 2020 I started live streaming sets and followed one of your other instruction videos and purchased TRS to TRRS adaptor which worked perfectly - but it doesn't on the Prime 4 - I get ambient room sound. On the Prime 4 Owners page on FB it was recommended I get an irig and rca to 1/4 inch jack cable. I tried this attached to the Unbalanced RCA Outputs on the Prime but get low volume - have to turn up master really loud which isn't ideal - so moved my speakers over to booth. But still, the stream sound is average in quality. Any suggestions?!

So I did some research and decided to get this controller. It intimidated me. Lol I had a lot of questions. This video helped me figure out a lot of my questions and now I’m looking forward to going and playing with it and hopefully more effectively teach my kids.

I learned a ton of little bits from this video that I wasn't able to pick up in the manual, so many thanks!

The streaming filtering needs some tweaking, you can search by artist for example but you cant see or sort by release date. also, if you swap between streamed and usb stick music, the player loses the 'played tracks' colour change on the streamed service, so you can mistakenly play the same streamed track twice. I got my prime 4 a few weeks ago and love it, it's brought my playing along a great deal and has some great features. Good walk thru by the way, thanks.

The standalone controllers and Cdjs buffer the tracks into their internal RAM to play smoothly, it does not directly play through the USB. So whenever you load a track, it immediately grabs it from the USB into its internal RAM and then does not need the USB. Thats also how DJ software functiion on the computer. What would truly be amazing is when you can access yr library and load ANOtHER track without USB plugged in.

Scratch is harmless enough. It's just a gate but instead of losing the track it adds the effect of pulling the record back which is the first step of scratching. Done in time once or twice can add a little colour. It's a wee bit like censor.

Hey. I need your help. Why after factory reset my denon prime 4 lost option “send main mix to zone”? I enabled it before factory reset and after it disappeared and it stayed turned on. I want to turn it off but I cant since this option is gone. I also can’t use zone mix and zone button not works

Great Video. During the looping discussion. Billy Jean MJ has an 8 count in. I usually will loop 5,6,7,8 for a four count loop. Makes it easy for getting in to any song. With an exit of something very recognizable. But later in the song I want to RE-loop that same 4 which should be only exited and still callable. How do you bounce back into the Loop again? Because pressing the loop in/out again just starts me another loop.

@@digitaldjtips Unless its a function in one of the pad keys. It has to be there. I learned that trick on a Denon 2500s 30 years ago. They couldn't have got rid of it. Its just hidden somewhere.

Quality video as always Phil, two things I’m struggling to understand are if there’s anyway to stop your hot cues automatically playing when you select them? and if the sync button will work with two different Bpm’s for example when I try to sync a 175bpm track with a 87bpm track instead of changing the 175 to 174 it’ll change the bpm to 87. Cheers in advance for your help , this videos helped a lot

Yes, you can change that cue behaviour i the settings. I know what you mean about the sync thing, and I do not think there is a way around that.

Had the unit for about a week coming off a DDJ SX2. I love it but the effects are not good at all. There are some bugs that have been around since 2019 that still are not fixed. If your coming from pioneer it’s going to take a long time to get used to them and your probably find you don’t use them much.
