Upgraded from the Numark Platinum FX to the Denon Prime 4+ two months ago. Such a beauitful unit, the ability to use serato and the build-in engine dj (which is an awesome dj software btw.) is just awesome, but what i really like is the haptics of it. It just feels good to mix with it, the knobs, the jogwheels, the faders, everything feels well built and high quality. Denon is really on their way to conquer the market for the standard club gear.

[@djcarlo]

Indeed! They've really been upping their game!

[@Bigach93]

Just bought mine, it really feels an upgrade for me!

[@DJTimeLock]

I actually switched from my Prime 4 to the Pioneer FLX 10. Engine DJ has it's advantages but beatmatching and just its general use feel lacking. I personally am not such a fan of Serato as it feels laggy and the UI is all over the place. And since Pioneer still dominates the club scene it just made sense. But yeah theres no denying that the hardware of the Denon is supreme. It feels really nice to use.

[@dubusuaytm]

@@DJTimeLock while I can work with pioneer and rekordbox I'm not such a fan of rekordbox. For me it's just too blank. But I guess this is because I started with serato and used it since then. While engine dj still has it's problems I see that they work hard to make it better with each update.

[@lucassanor9991]

@@djcarlo I am 95% certain that I'm going to get a DDJ-FLX10. I have used the Numark Platinum FX for two years - also based on your previous videos. I've been looking for something pro-level that's good for scratching, stems, DMX, and that would help me transition to club CDJs. The one feature that would make me change my mind completely would be a designated "key change knob." The only controller that I have ever seen with this is the Denon MC7000, and they are discontinued. Have you ever seen such a feature in another controller? Or should I just try to get something that I can program this into with serato? The reason I want this is because I play saxophone while I mix and I love changing key signatures for the effect and key matching. Here's the MC7000 video with the key change knob: www.denondj.com/professional-dj-controller-for-serato-mc7000xus.html

[@81i2b49cj]

great breakdown and transition into your course (not being sarcastic!) one thing I'd mention and presumably you are leaving it out on purpose: pioneer dominate because newer DJs who have aspirations to play in clubs opt to shift to pioneer (at least for mostly electronic). i made the switch from serato and denon and now i only use rekordboxs (but can play on denon gear with iffy beatgrids)

[@djcarlo]

It really depends overall! I'd like to think that each program has its own set of strengths and weaknesses

Great vid! Still rocking a Traktor S4MK3 in 2023 as its a great budget choice for a 4 channel mixer. Although NI is way behind in the game and needs to catch up asap

[@djstuff3575]

I upgraded from a DDJ-SB3 Serato to the FLX10 Serato and after watching this video I have a few questions on the FLX10. 1) The HPF Color FX seems weak?? HPF on the FLX10 sounds like reducing the vol. Not reducing the bass and doesn't give that squelch sound like the SB3 2) Can the In/Out loop be quantized? I am finding live 1 beat manual loops difficult to get perfect. 3) Do you find you need to push the platter firmly and compared to other controllers is it good? The SB3 had a light nice touch/feel. I am getting used to the FLX10 platter but I expected a much nicer feel. 4) Is there a way of enabling pre-saved loops from the controller in Serato. 5) I assume that the volume on the color FX can't be adjusted. Space for instance can sound very loud depending where it's used. I appreciate all your content. I've been watching for 3 years now. Many thanks!!

[@djcarlo]

1) I didn't notice the difference! Maybe it's hardware vs software in this case 2) Check my latest video on Settings for this one! 3) You can adjust the jogwheel's tension to your liking 4) From what I know, not with Serato. That's more of a Rekordbox thing 5) I think this can only be done in the settings of your DJ program, but I'm not too sure on this one as well

[@leoprozczinski]

3 months rocking my Pioneer DDJ FLX-10 and nothing to complain. Yes, it's not cheap, but if you want top Pioneer quality you gotta pay the price.

[@djcarlo]

Indeed! It's pretty much my favorite one of this year's releases!

[@N3orion]

I would go with the Hercules starlight controller to use with Djay. Use a usb hub and you get dedicated audio from the controller.

[@djcarlo]

You can do that too with the DJControl Mix

[@axzipa]

Great video! Thanks for all the valuable info. I’ve always been interested in becoming a Dj as music is life. I’m quite a quick learner, would you recommend a 2 channel setup to get started or go straight for a 4 channel like the T7 or Flx6 Gt?

[@djcarlo]

Go for the T7!

[@FinnMakesVideos]

I think I regards to the Opus Quad not having performance pads, neither do CDJS. I’m guessing they were trying to mimic the layout of the CDJ3000 pretty closely so they dropped the performance pads. Besides since a lot of clubs run CDJs I’d imagine it’s best to not get used to performance pads anyway because not all venues you’ll play at will have a setup with performance pads.

[@djcarlo]

That's a fair assessment! But I do still feel strange about them not being on a controller, but I guess that's just me hahaha

[@davideflorriani]

I have an opus quad myself and its an incredible machine! In clubs i use the CDJ3000 and in my parties I use the Opus. The only ESSENTIAL thing lacking is Slip mode. I have no idea why pioneer removed it. It’s so useful.

Its decent equipment what i bought back in 2021, but lately i've been liking "Double mashup" songs and its an tough one to leave those tracks fade away to switch next ones. I've been balancing between FLX 6 or go all out on DDJ - 1000. Sure i saw some cheaper sides on a "Serato" side, but i want to stick with Rekordbox.

[@djcarlo]

I'd highly recommend going all out for a 1000 or FLX10 man! The 400 is great, but if you've gone beyond it in terms of skill level, it's time to upgrade

[@randaus_claudio_randone]

Hi, I'm Claudio from Italy, congratulations for your videos which are always very inspiring, I wanted to ask you if you tried scratching on the pioneer flx10 and if you were happy with the jogwheels? because I bought it recently and the jogwheels have a sensitivity problem for scratching, in practice I am forced to apply more pressure than is needed to prevent the jogwheels from continuing to move forward and therefore making me lose the right point of the sample which I use for scratching. If I keep the pressure on the jogwheel too light, it doesn't stop when I would like to stop it or simply bring the sample back to the right point. I'll start by saying that I have always used pioneer without any problems and the last controller I used was the flx6 with which I was able to scratch perfectly without any problem... do you know if there are any tips or utilities that allow you to set the pressure on the jogwheels correctly? Thanks for your attention, Claudio.

It's only better than the 109$ unit and that's not by much in my opinion. It does come with tutorials for doing. But if you follow Carlo I honestly think almost anything 199$ is better.

Can't wait for a Mk2 of it!

[@dsik_dharmshala]

Hi Carlo, I am getting a less used traktor s4 mk3 in USD 420... Shall I go for it?? I love tratkor because of the effects section.... Please suggest is this a wise decision?? your recommendations ??

[@djcarlo]

DO it!

[@zavyang0210]

Hi may I ask how about ddj 800 for beginner use for practice

[@djcarlo]

It's still okay, honestly a very highly underrated controller imho, but it's already on the older side if you're thinking about getting one. For beginner practice though, it still holds up well

[@LuckyBear1022]

Hey I'm having a issue with my flx 4 where every audio is high pitched and the bpm is normal idk what's wrong

[@Newt211]

Starting out would you pony up to get a DDJ 800 or go for the FLX4?

[@djcarlo]

Between those two, I'd run with the FLX4. It's significantly newer than the 800

[@Newt211]

@@djcarlo ty!

[@OtisKanno]

If I want to use additional software & hardware like Ableton Live & SP 404 would it be best to use a controller or standalone?

[@djcarlo]

I'd say a controller, or a pair of CDJs

[@sergiboix]

so do you think the RANE Four is a better choice instead the FLX10? thanks for comment and very good video.

[@giothed00d]

It is if you're using Serato

[@djcarlo]

Like G-ZERO said, yeah. If you're a Serato user, the Rane Four is perfect

[@sergiboix]

recommended laptop for dj can smoothly run apps used for dj'ing?

[@djcarlo]

I'd actually go for the Macbook Air! It's very stable for DJ sets

[@Menoo63]

Hey Carlo how is the Hercules Inpulse 500?

[@djcarlo]

It's pretty good! Honestly would recommend it as a beginner controller, especially with those PL outputs. It's just not here because it's a little older now. But it still holds up!

[@alexserrano4630]

Looking for my next purchase to upgrade from the DJControl Inpulse 200. And im wondering... is the Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500 still worth it? Or has it become outdated? If not what should be my next DJ controller? Thank youuu

[@djcarlo]

The 500 is still definitely worth checking out Alex! Otherwise, any within the same price range here should suffice!

[@justino9042]

6:15 the DDJ 800 is just superior compare to the flx 6

[@djcarlo]

By a long shot! Though the FLX6GT was worth mentioning due to its newer tech

[@GuptaGrooves]

I really love my hercules impulse 500 and I think it is a very good controller for 300 students of college . I think I can do a gig with it perfectly but what do you think , I need your suggestion because I don't have money for big gears and that's why I need your advice

[@djcarlo]

You’re good buddy!

[@VincentVloeberghs]

Opus quad baby❤

[@djcarlo]

Really gorgeous! Can't believe that, when it dropped, people said it looked like the worst thing ever

[@Yeeb55]

Awesome video! I have been DJing since april ish last year on my ddj 400 and it is nice and simple. I do not mix crazy technical as where it play mostly call for song selection and smooth transitions - nobody cares about cool dj trick there(or even sick house bangers). The club/bar i am working at just got the RX3, and now i am considering going a for music pool like Crate Connect. Like it is still possible for me to bring my ddj 400, but i think it would be much nicer just using the RX3. What are everyone's thoughts? :D

[@djcarlo]

Much better to use the RX3! No need to bring your own equipment if you don't need to; it'll make life a lot easier haha

[@Yeeb55]

@@djcarlo thanks for the reply! :) Which DJ pool do you recommend besides Crate Connect? Or is Crate Connect the one with the most music? :)

[@heathentheheretic4909]

How about IDjPro? That's a pretty awesome. I don't know if you've tried it but I love it

[@djcarlo]

I haven't, but I was intrigued by it when it was new! However, it didn't make the list as it was released 12 years ago

[@heathentheheretic4909]

@@djcarlo wow it's been 12 years already. 😳

[@nickybjammin7629]

I was looking in the budget of the Pioneer, DJ flx ? I think it’s FLX. But I need loudspeakers not those little ones . Can I use my Peavey mixer amp I use for vocals to power speakers for the pioneer Dj fl It might be DJ DJ. I need it to hang with an electric guitar sometimes loud with the distortion . I figured I would use that to make my own beat tracks and then I can jam with it and hopefully the scratches and wipes would be recorded on there as well ? I subscribed earlier 💯❤️

[@djcarlo]

Actually, you don't need an amp for the FLX4! Plugging it into a set of speakers, via the RCA cables, will allow it to work :)

[@nickybjammin7629]

@@djcarlo yes LOL yes I do. I’m not playing for people in my living room. I need “power”⚡️ actual gigs 🎵 The most important part is being able to hook your gear up to louder equipment . The DJ thing seems more of a hobby than an actual profession. I’ve never seen this side of DJing before. Maybe I’m just behind on the times, but it used to be a real thing. Are they just making equipment for people to pretend to be DJ’s at their house ? …. What about block parties? Am I missing something? Why would the manufacturers or creators of this technology Not want you to be heard ? They made them so I can “Not” run the speaker outputs through a “professional” PA-Amp? And how would that “not” be the main selling point? Honestly, I don’t understand. If you could just fill me in, I’ll get to the bottom of the rest of it. No wonder there’s no famous DJs anymore. People would have to have thousands and thousands of dollars just to share their work. So this is just an extremely expensive toy kit ? …..It sounds pretty good to me. If just one person will just explain this to me, I’ll get to the bottom of it .

[@aitiax3497]

Any tips on where to actually buy controllers like the DDJ800 or the FLX10 because no matter where I look it’s always sold out. Awesome videos btw :)

[@djcarlo]

Try Amazon or Sweetwater! It really depends on your region :)

[@abhishekpurohit2989]

Hey, I only dj for my friends at home, what do you think ? Should i go for any basic inpulse200 mk2 or numark party mix. Is that enough? Please help.

[@djcarlo]

I think both of those are okay for home mixing! Haven't really tried the Party Mix, so I can't say much about it

[@abhishekpurohit2989]

@@djcarlo thanks for the help!

[@StelianLalnunzira]

What is the house song at 3:04? I can't seem to find it

[@djcarlo]

It should be available on BPM Supreme! I've forgotten the artist though. Sorry!

[@yashua_51]

What DJ record pools would you reccomend for beginners as most are pretty expensive?

[@djcarlo]

Crate Connect and BPM Supreme are really my favorites

[@lilchaosgypsy6049]

what about the inpulse 500? is that a good option?

[@djcarlo]

It's a good option too!

[@0Beauchad0]

Would you still recommend the ddj 200 just starting out?

[@djcarlo]

Honestly, not really. I'd rather people start out with the Inpulse 300 or FLX4 nowadays.

[@bekamingkanadyantv6037]

Hi Carlo i just bought Denon dj prime go how to set up JBL PARTYBOX 710

[@djcarlo]

Check for the output of the Denon Prime Go, and check for the input cable of the Partybox. Then buy the appropriate cable to connect both

[@LuckyBear1022]

Hey we pinpointed what it is it is definitely key lock I plugged my flx4 into my computer it sounds fine but when I plug it into my phone it's high pitched idk where to find key lock or the other stuff on mobile to change it

[@djcarlo]

Oh man, I haven't tinkered around much with RB Mobile, but the key lock should be visible in the settings.

[@lovis1188]

as someone who is just getting into Dj ing, should i start out with a "cheap" deck like the ddj-flx4, or safe up a bit and go for something like the flx 10 from the get go?

[@djcarlo]

depends how dedicated you are and how much you want it!

[@damasterkarej]

@djcarlo could you show upgrade from 2deck to 4 deck controller? Hopefully compare Pioneer to Pioneer, Numark to Numark and Hercules to Hercules, so we can see what extra we get.

[@djcarlo]

That's an interesting idea! Though, in essence, you're only really getting a second set of platters to play around with. Software is really important too. Let me see if I can think of a way to make a video like that

[@damasterkarej]

@@djcarlo I am asking, because I really need to know do I need go up from Numark Mixtrack Pro to NS4 FX (Mixtrack Platinum shares channel strips on second layer and that might be confusing for a beginner).

[@djcarlo]

I wouldn't say you need to, but having the NS4FX won't change anything, but in my opinion, it's better to have that already, even if you don't use the 4 channels
