Pioneer DDJ-FLX4: Serato AND Rekordbox for $299 | DJ Controller Review

[@luciens3588]

Works also great with the djay pro android version ( purchased app ). The only downside is that when someone calls or app you it disturbs the mixing session. First thing you gonna have to do is connecting it to windows on your pc in order to get it working and update the firmware if its need to. I use Google pixel 7 and it works pretty proper. It makes me so happy 😁

[@piurtv]

It's a nice not too pricy (especially for Pioneer) controller and it looks like it's finally a controller that really takes Android in consideration, which is great... But apart from that, considering what it offers for the price, I think that there's better options for a "learning controller" if you don't use Rekordbox. For example, Hercules Inpulse 500 which has RGB pads, TRS outputs (eventhough unbalanced) and Aux input...

[@djwalkerfemaledj]

LOVE DDJ 400 controller but wanna get this next year

[@peterlee3687]

Would of loved rgb pads on this

[@PassionateDJ]

For sure. Aesthetically, I actually like the orange... but RGB would be nice functionality!

[@Rugerman205]

Agreed because there are other models out there from Hercules etc which has RGB and looks amazing. I loooove my DDJ-REV1 and I don’t expect it to be like my RANE ONE 🤷🏽‍♂️🤣 but some additional colors aside from the Amber would be terrific

[@jsmilz86]

✋🏾what's serato? Is it needed? I'm new to this and looking for a good beginner mobile setup? Edit 2 seconds later: lol Nevermind I know what serato is

[@bboymac84]

Hope this can work with Djay app

[@DefGef772]

I like that controller stand but can’t seem to find anywhere.

[@a_gohil]

Where do we get a controller stand like that, which props up at an angle like we see after 2:15? Thanks

[@househeadspeakz]

Good review. I will purchase it because I am looking for a backup controller for gigs. In addition, this looks like a fun way to keep up with the basics but try some new ideas. I'm loving what Pioneer did. Looking forward to the mobile app in 2023.

[@hot4futureyears2come]

I love my DDJ400 , so this is nice update to that

[@djwalkerfemaledj]

Some love my DDJ400 Pioneer controller as well I wanna get this controller 🤘🏾

[@casparharte]

What is the next level up from here?

[@oscartirado8146]

Dang, I just purchased the 800 yesterday! Gahhhh. I would've bought this instead, haha.

[@PassionateDJ]

😂 could’ve saved some money… but you got a way nicer device! Enjoy!

[@giothed00d]

Ay return it!!!

[@oscartirado8146]

@@giothed00d I bought this one. I may return the 800. I'm going toi play with both and if I'm okay with the FLX, I'll keep it and save myself $500

[@twmfrosty5772]

When would it be available to buy?

[@nighthawkgamer2]

U can preorder

[@vijaysr01]

Ddj flx 4 output audio not working my laptop??

[@Mdnesseptx]

How do I activate Smart Fader on Serato Lite??

[@PassionateDJ]

Rekordbox only feature, I believe.

[@jamesfraser8149]

Great little set up for chilling in the house or having a party.. very decent bit of kit. Still can’t top vinyl haha

[@Shiny236]

how can i get a discount code?

[@DJmattress]

Great video with easy to understand host. Im sold. Thanks!!

[@DJ_V_squared]

what is that stand holding the controller?

[@PassionateDJ]

[@hyperlocal202]

I have bought this controller and im really struggling , I have it plugged into my laptop to the controller loaded my music through rekordbox , however the controller just does not work I can’t even press play on the controller it does not work however I can press play on my laptop and it will work , its really stressing me out lol

[@timzen]

I had to update rekordbox!

[@djmalang1250]

Right now I am using DDJ 400

[@jorgehernandez9866]

Does this not work with earlier versions of Serato lite? Bc the new version sounds terrible and it’s able to hook up to my controller. I use an earlier version of Serato lite and sounds perfect but not able to pair my controller I’m so confused might return and buy a 200 or 400 somewhere

[@fausto412]

The software shouldn't make it sound terrible from 1 version to the next. Sound card is built into the controller.

[@gagedegaetano6072]

I heard speculation that smart fader doesn’t work on Serato Dj Pro. Is this true?

[@PassionateDJ]

I do believe this is a rekordbox feature, yes.

[@hermonbluesmaclin-theboogi6830]

Does this controller work with the dJay Pro Al app on Mac?

[@stevemosley4084]

Yes

[@dj_coyde7500]

Does this work with virtual dj

[@DJLyncho]

Not yet. Will eventually tho

[@cheftommy]

just got the FLX4, do you prefer Serato or Rekordbox ?

[@PassionateDJ]

For the FLX4 I prefer rekordbox, because it's the only way you get access to the FLX4-specific features.

[@10djpro]

Hi, I’m a straight forward wedding/ function DJ, since 1987, never make use of a controller or any DDJ product. However during the early years I owned CDJ 100s / 200 but went over to straight laptop. My main priority is to keep people on the dance floor by mixing Left to Rights. So all what I want to know, as this unit price point is in my budget, will it be my future source to go with me, for what I do...really not into scratching or that type of styles

[@PassionateDJ]

I don’t see why not! For a $300 budget, it’s a fairly complete package. It’s handsome and has pretty good “feels”. Will feel more modern and capable than a set of CDJ-200s. The “smart fader” function could actually be a fun way to transition between genres at a wedding.

[@10djpro]

@@PassionateDJ thanks for your input regarding this matter, yeah I ordered and hopefully will receive my “present” coming week.

[@DennyKong]

Would you choose the rev1 or this ?

[@PassionateDJ]

Boy, do I have the video for you! (Just went up) :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnuYdaOoidmLnbs

[@ksto9334]

You have a great channel!!

[@PassionateDJ]

Thank you! Spread the word!

[@DJLyncho]

That smart fader is just a simple automix my phone can do.

[@PassionateDJ]

And soon, you'll be able to use your phone to do it on the FLX4! lol

[@olivernava4339]

In My opinion i don't like the automix ,everyone would be DJ

[@PassionateDJ]

I understand. And I don’t care for those features either. But, it’s been pretty easy to become a DJ for a good while now. The people who stop growing because of features like this will eventually fizzle out. Or, they will evolve because they have become Passionate DJs.

[@olivernava4339]

@@PassionateDJ You are right, Thanks for the Review!

[@nighthawkgamer2]

I think it’s great for changing genres

[@djmalang1250]

Im from India can i order from India . What is the cost difference. I want to buy FLX 6

[@nighthawkgamer2]

FLX 6 is bad, would advise to try the upgraded version
