[@DJBennyswift]

Maaaaaannnnn!!! I’m flipping between, rev-1, DDJ-1000SRT ( which I’m looking at really close hehehe ) but the Prime 4 is a big contender…I still love my Mixstream Pro but I’m looking to move to a 4 channel controller.

[@alextheawesome5275]

I'd add a Traktor Kontrol S4 mk3 to the under 1000$ range. It's affordable, has decent build and sound quality, and has 4 channels. Also balanced XLR outputs and phono/line inputs. It also comes with the Pro license, so no need to pay extra for the software.

[@djcarlo]

That's true Alex! I just wish NI made more updates since it was released. The S4 mk3 is a few years old already 😅

[@patrickwdoyle]

@@djcarlo The soundcard and analog amplifier of the S4 mk3 still hasn't been matched by a Pioneer controller (maybe the Rane Four exceeds it) as well as the moving jog wheels puts the S4 mk III ahead of most Serato controllers. If you are going to list the DDJ 1000 you should list the S4 mk iii because the S4 came out after the DDJ 1000 but before the SRT

I was able to pick up a Kontrol S3 for the equivalent of 325USD as an upgrade from my SB3. Traktor lacks in some areas but is way more powerful in others and if you're going used there is insane value to be had

[@joeallidine8393]

I’m on the FLX6 in my home setup honestly a really good all round controller definitely helped me when transitioning to cdjs and rx’s in clubs and festivals.

It does have a great layout. Plus the new GT adds even more to it

[@lorenzobrandimarte1427]

My favourite is Pioneer Flx4 due to its affordable price! I particularly liked the new smart fader feature, even though I may not use it frequently, and the filter section. Also, the satin plastic material gives it a nice touch.. For only 300 euro is really nice.

Prime 4 all the way. Has some of the most flexible / extensive effect controls, 4 decks, EQ for both mics and booth, and is built like a literal tank. The only downside is the jogs are not full CDJ sized.

[@djwardlowentertainment9098]

Super happy with my Denon Sc 4 Live. The speakers I thought would be a gimmick but they work pretty good as booths or not worry to connect to monitor speakers to practice. The effects and layout is so much better than the Prime 4. The only thing I would change is the 7 inch screen to a 10 inch.

[@djcarlo]

The speakers surprised me too! Not the best, but pretty darn good for something mounted into a controller!

Does it have a SSD drive bay?

[@hvxcolors396]

@@michaeltraynor398 No because you can slot in an sd card of any size. I have one of 500GB, for 80 euro but you can have a 1TB one if you want. It makes it also much easier to load new songs than an SSD drive.

[@b.hornetiii.6771]

Can you load music directly from usb stick without comp. hassle?

[@Candyliker]

If I had a chance to choose one of DJ gears, I would choose NS4FX. I have big hands so jog wheels must be big It doesn't have useless options such as speakers, monitors etc, and its basic parts(EQ, 8 Hot cues, volume faders etc) aren't excluded and shabby.

[@djcarlo]

Sometimes all you need are the basics! If you aren't into scratching, I'm sure you'll enjoy this unit!

[@ZyDoxx]

As a hobby DJ doing a few house parties a year these are things I suggest: 1. If you've never DJed before, start with buying just a dj controller (like DDJ-400). If you already own any type of speakers, use those and find good quality sources to rip. This is to check if you truely like DJing or if it's just one of those sort term things you'll waste way too much money on. 2. If you like it, buy better speakers (preferably studio monitors). You can either upgrade your song quality by getting a subscription to a DJ pool, or you buy audio enhancing/analyzing software like Platinum Notes 4 and Mixed in Key (this is what I did). Remember to use good quality rip sources otherwise take a subscription. 3. If you enjoy DJing even more now and you want to try small parties/venues, decide whether you want to use the same speakers or upgrade to PA speakers (monitors are better for close range small groups and PA to really go LOUD!). I upgraded to a big PA and subwoofer combo for parties. I also bought a bluetooth adapter in case I don't want to DJ. Even if you're a bit of an audiophile like me, you'll never hear the difference between quality rips and the official sources unless you use insanely expensive speakers. A one-time purchase of audio enhancing software in combination with being able to rip anything on the internet was worth way more to me than getting a DJ pool subscription that does not include everything I search for. This is just from my own experience but consider the choices. Best of luck😁

[@djcarlo]

Thanks for the opinions and recommendations!

[@djcarlo]

Best to leave the country and buy outside, the come back hehe!

[@YOUNGSLIME999]

I know this controller is very old but the DDJ SZ is still worth it till today 4 channels and sure the cheesy horn sound but it runs on serato and also secretly on rekordbox for some reason it’s so overlooked and if was 22 10 years ago I’d just buy that and keep it and stick with serato since I’m doing basic events and club gigs where I don’t have to do crazy tricks or need for the newer effects

[@djcarlo]

The SZ was the flagship back when it was released, and indeed was pretty amazing for what it offered!

[@foundatsea3483]

Good reviews! It must be said: I played on the Denon Prime 4 - it reads Rekordbox libraries from USB thumb drive flawlessly! Very impressed. Just not a fan of that "Microsoft Windows 98" neon green..

[@tommydplayskeys]

When I daydream about upgrading, it's the Rane Four, Roland DJ707m, Pioneer DDJ-SX3, or maybe that Mixon 8. However the reality is that I'm actually just fine with my Mixtrack Pro FX and even Serato Lite. The limiting factors for me right now are my skill/experience, and my music library - need to get more tracks prepped and cue pointed etc. Though I would say I really wish there was a low-mid range 4ch controller with aux ins on ch3+4. I have to play songs off a phone/tablet occasionally and it's annoying that I can't run those songs through my controller. Seems like you have to go for super high-end gear to get that feature, even if you don't need the other high-end features.

[@djcarlo]

The extra decks do cost you there Tom! The only one I could suggest is the Numark NS4FX. Not badly priced, though I've yet to try it with the aux ins

maybe its because the theme of the video is about budget, if you can afford an XZ , you are not on a budget lol. Personally the advantages that made me buy the XZ over the RX3 are because: #1 the Jog wheels being bigger and mechanical (and more durability in general , feels less plasticy , #2 i dont trust a lot in touch screen technology , the less touch screens for me the better (again for durability) for #3 the fact that you can EQ the master output is such a great factor when your a mobile DJ , since sometimes the sound at the gigs might not be the greatest , its nice to be able to equalize it a bit from the controller.

i am about to order a xdj rx3. i hope is a great choice

[@djcarlo]

It's a pretty great choice! Go for it!

[@ezy.doesit]

@@djcarlo thanks mate! i just ordered, will take 60 days to get one!

[@IphoneTsay]

Buy ddj rz or sz 😅

[@djcarlo]

They're also pretty old now! Best to move up to more modern gear Bliss! :)

[@IphoneTsay]

@@djcarlo Yes, they are outdated, but the build quality is many times better than the new ones. My ddj rz is still in great condition and the jog wheel doesn't squeak like a ddj 1000

[@IphoneTsay]

@@djcarlo i wanted to upgrade my ddj rz to ddj 1000 but the mixer section space on ddj 1000 is very inconvenient.

[@christ3821]

Is the ddj flx4 even out yet? I can’t find it anywhere

[@djcarlo]

Yup! It's been out for a month or so, but it sold out QUICK. If you find one for sale, take it!

[@mannythedj2023]

Team SC LIVE 4 🔥✨🎧✨🔥

[@djcarlo]

Gotta admit, it's one of my favorites out there!

[@carterboyd4857]

how is the ddi 200 though?

[@djcarlo]

It's pretty alright, but I'd rather go for the controllers in the under $300 range

[@rpmbxdj]

1000 SRT

[@djcarlo]

That's one heck of a controller! Love that thing~!

[@enriquedjastral]

has un tutoría en español

[@djcarlo]

Lo siento, no mucho hablar Español, so I can't really do Spanish tutorials. But I'm thinking of making captions in Spanish in the future!

[@topdawg3359]

Content idea. Mixing using youtube

[@djcarlo]

That's very VERY tricky

[@topdawg3359]

@@djcarlo it's really fun though

[@JacobAtias]

prime 4

[@djcarlo]

Great choice! Don't forget the Prime 4+ is out now!

[@kevinconnelly7416]

No Denon MCX8000???

[@djcarlo]

It's....6 years old 😅

[@RealSantahunter]

There is no chip shortage anymore

[@djcarlo]

Not anymore, but we're still feeling the effects if it

[@RealSantahunter]

@@djcarlo When do you think will there be an successor of the DDJ-1000SRT ?

[@eboutdooredits2660]

I was lucky enough for one of my mates to sell me his ddj1000 for $500 because he bought cdj3000's. The 1000 is the perfect controller IMO, it has everything you need and it's very similar to club standard CDJ's so it's easy to swap around. I bring mine to gigs and when I play at clubs it's an easy transition to hop onto a CDJ straight away. It hasn't got cheat effects like scratching fx and merge fx so it is a good representation of your actual skill as a DJ.

[@djcarlo]

Exactly! You are indeed pretty lucky! That unit is so expensive and sought after one. Good one keeping it!

[@christiansmith5033]

Hey dude quick question. I’m just a beginner, I’m wondering what program you would use for simple dj’ing such as going to a bar and just playing songs and having a nice transition in between. What program would you use to do the djing, as well as where would you get the music from. Spotify? Apple Music? How does that work. Thanks

[@djcarlo]

For programs, I'd honestly recommend either Serato, Rekordbox, or Djay Pro. And get your music from Record Pools, like BPM Supreme, Crate Connect, or Zip DJ

[@VRChance]

Still rocking and loving my ddj 800 only would consider swapping to a ddj 1000 srt if i needed 4 eqs but i usually just have 2 tracks mixing. The compact size is pretty nice too if you're moving your decks around for work.

[@djcarlo]

Overall one of my favorite RB controllers!

[@ikechicoreralation]

He keeps naming more and more products lol How many was that 40?

[@djcarlo]

Not sure hahahaha, like 15 maybe?
