I've been on back order for a 1000srt since Sept lol guess I'm Canceling that. Or wait cuz it came w a case for an ex 150 instead of 250. Save a hundred w out paying anything? (Yet) or cancel n get this? Or get both whenever either come in n sell the 1000srt?

Love that you can have that Split mode apply "up and down." Really makes having 4 decks useful even for those who don't normally use it.

Liking the fact that they added Stems, finally and i like the displays that have a more zoomed in option than the 1000. Also must admit i like the splitting a tune over decks 1&3 to use with stems which is cool. Nice controller for sure but it won't tempt me to upgrade from my 1000 because it still does not have Paddles for the effects. My next set up i want moving platters and paddles that work with Rekordbox.

As a Denon user, I'm gonna say I'm impressed! Looks great and packed with features so it's gonna be amazing but and this is a me thing, I could never go back to having a laptop plugged in to a device again. For me I've zero need of the laptop/pc for what I do, bedroom DJ only. 🤟

[@djNineshoxxx]

I agree however before everyone pats pioneer on the back there is the elephant in the room RB stems at present are not good certainly not on par with the arguable leaders VDJ and Serato at some point Engine DJ will do Stems also so the real battle is yet to commence but i’m here for it there needs to be standalone players with stems if the opus can do it that is a flex from pioneer for sure

[@oenglish86]

What device do you use?

[@marcosbabeto]

Nice controller... a bunch of features on the hardware. This is great. I have a DDJ SZ and I'm wondering to switch to FLX10.

[@rodrigo5528]

This is THE controller.. love that !

[@DeeJayAARonYT]

Great review! Ngl I did get a big overwhelmed with all the new features, being a ddj-1000 rb owner, but it looks promising! Still wish they added a smooth echo fx button on here, but that’s probably just me 😅. Also, I love that they added the DMX output to this unit since I was planning on getting the rb-DMX 1,& the new display that can show 2 waveforms is brilliant!

[@6orionlol6]

pioneer released the hardest controller ever and thought we wouldn't realize😂😅

[@mrblend]

A fun secret feature..... I have the STEMS in Serato mapped to Padfx2 when in this section, 1) the page Left Isolates the vocals only, press it again and drums in inst comes back to life 2) press the page right and it silences the vocals only, and press it again and vocals returns

[@lukeFive]

As a dj who started on turntables back in 90s I wasn't thrilled to go digital. I have DDJ 1000 which I like a lot. This new unit is awesome and I'm sure it will be useful to djs. But as for me...The ddj 1000 and laptop setup is as far as I want to go as a digital DJ. I still love turntables + mixer setup the most

[@DJMARCOSNICE]

good to see that things started to evolve after Virtual DJ revolutionized the concept of live beats and arrangements, today the new controllers and also the software considered "famous" are having to get their asses off the couch and also copy the VDJ to not to be left behind, but speaking of controllers, this one is very good, as well as the opus-quad, both are products designed with parameters within the new concept founded by the Virtual DJ software.

[@MaartenVDJ]

But no stems on the opus

Excellent release from PioneerDJ! As for stems, Rekordbox stems are a joke compared to Serato (and I'm a RB user), but I hope that they fix that quite quickly.

[@craigbishop4644]

I had a 1000 and was in love with it. This has just improved an already amazing controller. However, will this bring the second hand market price down 🧐 I’ve noticed second hand DDJ 400’s sell for the same as the FLX equivalent…

[@atypical_blk_guy]

This will only flood the used market with 1000s and other high-end controllers. This will have no affect on the 400. It's about supply and demand.

[@kimchi_b]

Argos have the DDJ 400 new for twenty quid less than the FLX4

[@shlomishanti]

00:15:25 this is the only reason I haven’t made the switch to rekordbox from Traktor. With Traktor & serato you can beat jump before tracks start. With rekordbox you can’t and they made the mix point link. They could have just done the beat jump before track starts and problem solved.

[@randymazzletsdoittt8654]

Thank you Ave been helped

[@TheCloudGaming1]

I feel like pioneer is creating a big emphasis on separating capabilities of controllers and CDJ/XDJ. They’re adding all these niche features to controllers that could be fun for a bedroom DJ to play around with or Rap DJ’s where stems will actually be useful but in a House or Techno club you will never see these new controllers get used. The adding the emphasis that controllers are for fun but clubs need to be professional and have CDJ’s.

[@filip5356]

maybe they'll come up with new CDJs with stems available? It would be a huge gamechanger for profesionnal DnB, house and Techno DJs to have the ability to use the stems.

[@pricejoss]

Agree. Native Instruments tried to push STEMS into the professional space and it didn’t go anywhere. Professional DJs use Ableton to edit tracks live, not STEMS. It’s great for hobbyist DJs to have this sort of tech on controllers but I’d be amazed to see it on Pioneer CDJs / DJMs

[@glenmontpiankhi]

Love your reviews all the time. Very thorough as expected. The one thing I didn’t hear, the soundcard. Is it upgraded from the prior 1000, anywhere near the more pro mixers?

[@Crossfader]

The official word I got form Pioneer DJ is that the soundcards have been updated from the predecessors, but I didn't get specifics on the soundcard used and whether its the new ESS technology ones they have just put in the A9 and Opus Quad.

[@RENERECHE]

36:01 I think the mix in / mix out majes sense in the way Pioneer DJ: Jordan Lee mixes his blends with accapella’s… but then you don’t need the pre made blends anymore but you can use Stems and mix in mix out to have your hands free for mixing and EQ’ing.

[@persia1510]

Stem function seems to be still in beta version 😅 well, it sounds like in beta version

[@fausto412]

Its software. That stuff will get worked out. You can wait 6 months or a year to buy.

[@DJGoodMusicAllDay]

its just like all the others but will get better and better through updates, its mainly AI type stuff atm Demcus is the best out right now its a Facebook tech audio separator

[@jerrodjones3311]

So the question is which is better flx 10 or rane 4

[@RasmusFrie]

Hi I just joined your house course and got inspired to purchase a better contoller I decided to go for the DDJ as the instructor has that oen and it looks amazing. Now on the waiting list for the 1000 they ask me if I want the FLX10 instead. But I am on a old mid 2012 macbook pro. How can I check if my computer can handle all the stem functionalities and all that comes with FLX10? Or does it matter should I just get the FLX10? Thanks! Love your content and your courses!

[@AKODAkashKhode]

Powerfull 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@nvc.]

I love how it looks and its functions. ( looks infinite better than the opus, that does not look good at all imo) the only change i hould do is that i hould keep the iconic concave holes and the 3 dots on the side of the jog wheels, im so used to that and its so Pioneer, i dont understand why do they change that on some controllers.

[@OfficialDJWolve]

I feel exactly the same. I was a DDJ 1000 owner and now a XDJ XZ user and I love the jogs. Hopefully their higher end equipment keeps that design.

Hey Mr. Lawrence James :D Please make a Statement, that Rekordbox also has to work on Rekordbox Lighting (like you mentioned the problem with the RB Stems) Now it has a bigger target crowd with the FLX10 The RB-DMX1 Community is waiting and waiting 😁

[@Crossfader]

It's strange because they have discontinued the RB-DMX1, and now this is the only Pioneer DJ product that can be purchased which uses Rekordbox lighting. So who knows where that side of the product is going. I think it came down to the fact that it didn't cost them much more to put the DMX output in there so they did it. Maybe it's something we see on all future controllers and lighting will get some more love.... only time will tell.

Thanks for the interesting review. I am really interested in your opinion about Rane 4 vs. DDJ FLX10.

[@Crossfader]

It's on our list to make an article and video about it. Personally, though, I love the FLX10 for the ability to add effects to the stems however, from a Serato perspective I prefer the RANE FOUR as it just works so well with Serato. Obviously, the FLX10 (even though it's mapped well) is a secondary software to Rekordbox with the integration so it's only the effects I mentioned that really one up the RANE FOUR for me.

Love you video content. I am thinking about purchasing this unit but I was wondering if you can do clean echo out or just echo out given this unit only has hardware effects and not software effects

[@DJPrato]

The problem with Pioneer no one talks about. Their 2 FX slots each with 3 knobs in the software at the top of the screen.. an amazing 6 FX you could switch on and layer on the DDJ-RX/RZ series with the 6 knobs across the top: GONE. And I don't know of any current hardware that supports these software FX units. No idea why a huge section of their software functionality goes unsupported on hardware for years and no one says anything. I built a style of DJing around using those FX units and Pioneer turning their back on this part of their own software has chased me over to Denon for the moment.

[@DJ-Daz]

I've got mine on order from The Disc DJ Store in Bradford, can't wait for the 11th! But out of curiosity, can you sample a stem? Take a vocal piece and save it as a "stemmed" sample? Or use stems on an original sample? For the last part, I suppose you'd load the sample on a spare deck and use it as track, but that's using a deck.

[@user-tc1dg7hs2v]
