[@djkarlthomas]

[@CrimsonReaper83]

Here i am at 30 feeling im late to the party! cheers man hope youre an expert now!

[@djkarlthomas]

@CrimsonReaper83 you are never too late to join the party!

[@brisc03music]

This video was so helpful. A lot of the tutorial videos I’ve found just use the features without actually explaining how it works.

[@PulastaDhar]

Just bought the FLX4. I’m a complete noob and this video has changed my life. Thank you so much ❤

[@djkarlthomas]

So glad it was useful for you! Happy mixing!

[@fifthstreettv]

you have taught me so much in 20 mins you wouldn't believe it. Huge thank you, have a sub

[@djkarlthomas]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@brentbump9604]

Great vid man but I'm sorry I've just gotta say, those horns refusing to stop playing had me dying 13:51 🤣🤣

[@djkarlthomas]

😂😂😂😂😂 I aim to please

[@joeharkenrider9422]

I'm about a month in with my FLX4 and picking it up pretty quickly. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I feel like I just learned 10x more than I thought was possible. From a new subscriber...thank you!

[@djkarlthomas]

Glad it’s been useful! Thank you for watching.

[@becoolbo]

Bro, I found this video to be the actual most useful video for this product. I bought the product based off of everybody saying best entry-level. When I got it, I was using my DDJ Gold SB3 and was impressed with everything simplicity too then this came 😯

[@djkarlthomas]

Thank you for the kind words, I’m glad it was useful!

[@TheTubejunky]

The fact that some effects are droning loud by default it's great that you can control the threshold of their volumes.

[@athenorth]

10:50 quick info to different beat jump intervals: when holding shift and pressing either of the two bottom right buttons, you can switch pages w/o the need to click through the software!

[@djkarlthomas]

Nice one thank you for the tip!

[@ajprasad6865]

OMG not being able to stop the airhorn sample comedy gold haha. Great video though thanks 🤘🏽

[@ralphjansen7088]

Not being able to stop then easily also annoyed me when working with samples.

[@Devilcity6275]

Love the FLX4 when compared to the RB, cannot ask for anything better. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.❤

[@djkarlthomas]

Nice one! Thanks for watching

[@danchesney]

Great video - the issue with the air horn was pretty funny though!

[@djkarlthomas]

Haha! Thanks for watching and glad it was useful!

[@djkarlthomas]

Nice one! Glad it was useful

[@martinparker2774]

Nice video man, got the FLX4 2 days ago but DHL late delivering my speakers and headphones so using it slowly. Had 1210s back in the day and dug all my old records out from my parents at the weekend! Looking forward getting to grips with this new kit 😃

[@djkarlthomas]

Nice one mate! Nothing quite compares to 1210s but this controller is fun!

[@espenaune7328]

I've had the flx4 for a little while now and am a little embarrassed to say that I havent really explored it enough🫣. But thanks to your video now I mos def will 'play' more with the different performance pads than I have till now. Thanks a bunch, and you got a new sub now fo sho' 😁

[@djkarlthomas]

Glad it’s inspired you to explore the controller further! Thank you for watching and enjoy!

[@TheAshesToAshes]

Great tutorial, easy to follow!

[@djkarlthomas]

Glad it was useful!

[@julianamagalhaess]

Wow. the way you explain makes it so easy to understand. thank you sm for sharing your knowledge with us. Got a new subscriber!

[@djkarlthomas]

Ah thank you so much! I’m glad it is simple to understand- that’s the aim haha

[@jayantakumarbose4264]

Great video ❤ From India

[@michaelruebusch2275]

how do you get the "CUE" button to start the song from the begining? When I press the "CUE" button it makes a cue mark wherever the song is being currently played.

[@djkarlthomas]

Use the jog wheel or mouse on the laptop to get the track to the beginning. Press pause and then press cue to set the cue point. Check this video out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIHLiot6Z7t3p5I

[@ralphjansen7088]

Use shift-cue to get to the beginning of the track

[@djkarlthomas]

Nice thanks for sharing the shortcut

[@SPIN4CHEATER]

Thanks for making your sample the airhorn. I spent the build up on the edge of my seat and was about to leave if it wasn't the horn. 🎉🎉🎉

[@djkarlthomas]

straight to the point. Thanks Mr. Thomas!

[@djkarlthomas]

Glad it was useful! Thanks for watching

[@ewhorlow]

Perfect, just what I needed to know to get started, thank you.. I was looking for the 'Beat Loop' to extend the outros while I do some long mixes. One question I did have though, was if Rekord Box remembers the Hot Cue's for each of your tracks. I guess it does? I will find out soon enough!!! Looking forward to checking out some more of your videos soon. Subbed.

[@djkarlthomas]

Glad the video was useful and yes rekordbox does indeed remember the hot cues you create. Enjoy!

[@jamessmith1964]

Best video of this board ive watched Thanks

[@djkarlthomas]

Glad it was useful!

[@DaymoUK]

Hi there, really good straight forward content with just the stuff you need to know, My Question, can you set up samples as your DJing, on standalone equipment without needing Rekordbox, I’m 53, and only use stand alone, zx & 3000s ? Thankyou

[@djkarlthomas]

Unfortunately not no…unless you make a samples playlist and then export them to a USB then you can load these on the standalone device as a track as far as I am aware

[@DaymoUK]

@@djkarlthomas thankyou

[@DaymoUK]

@@djkarlthomas maybe you could do a video showing how it’s done ? 👍🏻

[@williamflint6535]

Great video brother

[@djkarlthomas]

Thank you for the kind words

[@geekiedj]

Awesome video… Thank youuu Rekordbox is so different from serato… I’m gna see how I can apply this for serato

[@djkarlthomas]

Thank you for watching and glad it was useful!

[@fionaa5469]

This is so helpful, thank you!

[@djkarlthomas]

Glad it helps! Thanks for watching

[@paulwalker6793]

Great video. Quick question how did you get that beat grid in the middle of the screen like that?

[@djkarlthomas]

You should be able to choose which view you would like in the top corner. This is called 2 deck vertical.

[@akifcetin6020]

great video thanks 😍😍😍😍

[@vasilikiprassa681]

Good evening, very nice video, I wanted to ask a question that may be unrelated, but could you recommend a relatively cheap speaker to connect to my Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 DJ Controller and maybe you could tell me what cables I need like usb, rca to connect them because I've seen a lot of videos and I can't find someone to explain them in detail, I also don't know if the computer plays a role but I have a macbook air, thank you very much for your patience🙂

[@djkarlthomas]

Are you looking for home use or to use at dj gigs?

[@vasilikiprassa681]

@@djkarlthomas for home yes , thank you for replying

[@djkarlthomas]

Something like these to start on. Affordable and priced as a pair. Connects using rca leads from the master of your FLX-4. www.djkit.com/pioneer-dj/dm-40d-k-black-active-monitors.html

[@psychicide3851]

great video mate thank you

[@djkarlthomas]

Glad it was useful for you! Thank you for watching

[@vegaf2011]

I have a question so I remapped a few of my pads to activate FX2 also switch from effects along with parameters to go high or low, but my question is how do I assign the Dry/Wet knob to specifically only move on FX at a time. I was able to do something close to it but it turns on all my FX’s which I don’t mind but would be nice to separate them.

[@djkarlthomas]

Not sure on this one as you have remapped things. I use the controller as it comes. Maybe explore this question on a forum with other users that have remapped the controller

[@alascasdc]

i have laerned so much with this video

[@Aznboy430]

Hi and thanks for your tutorial! Does the hot cues need to be assigned every time I load the song that I set before?

[@djkarlthomas]

It’s saved in memory

[@edc5095]

THANK YOU!

[@anthonyrivera56]

Are you using rekordbox or serato?

[@djkarlthomas]

Rekordbox

[@simonwalters4842]

Really helpful, thanks 😊

[@djkarlthomas]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

[@healwithhassaan6008]

Can we use the same pads with Serato? You have a video on that?

[@djkarlthomas]

I would assume so. I don’t use serato, only rekordbox.

[@TheonlyLazyAstronaut]

Hi, the keyboard mode isnt getting activated when i press shift +. It just doesnt. Can anyone help ?

[@Ryel1]

I'm pretty late but Hold shift then the key you want to activate
