Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX4 vs DDJ-REV1 comparison - Which beginner controller is best for you?

[@miguelsalami]

You had me sold on the Rev1 yesterday but this FLX4 is a game changer for diverse functionality. Thank You!

[@djkit]

Oh damn! So which one are you going for? 😂

[@miguelsalami]

@@djkit The FLX4

[@djkit]

Great choice!

[@PosetivityJunkie]

@@miguelsalami did you get it??

[@miguelsalami]

​@@PosetivityJunkieNo I decided to go all analog with Vinyl ❤

[@Djlewissteel]

I bought the flx4 it’s really good controller for starter Dj ‘s as well as more experienced… great product

[@thedeepdarkwebb]

Definitely getting the FLX4 since I am more interested in club style. Thanks for the insight!

[@djkit]

Happy to help! Let us know what you think of it when you get, and what software you're going to use it with!

[@elvishpaisley]

Super useful! Seen lots of different setups but just getting starting on my own. While it was repetitious, it was really useful to break down exactly what the differences where between the "battle" and "club" style (exact buttons placement, etc...). I like the look/style/"summitry" of the rev1 and might want to explore turntablism down the road. However, I like that the FLX4 is comparable with Serato and Rekordbox AND will be an easier transition to "industry standard" setups (my DJ friends say the same...). Leaning towards the FLX4...

[@bboymac84]

Flx4 is a must!

[@djkit]

Interesting Mac! I thought you were a fan of the DJM-S11?

[@danny6796]

Thanks for this informative video, thinking I might end up getting the FLX4!

[@blackistheword7]

Just got the flx4 driving home now to set up and see

[@dop5]

Finally. Thanx😍

[@djkit]

You're welcome 😊

I never see the point of these videos. Don't get me wrong! I love the content and the comparison but my point is this is up to what route a young upcoming DJ wants to take. They won't go wrong with either. Of course, I'm an underground DJ so I will always go for the club style controller.

[@djkit]

Hey, thanks for your comment! I agree that you can't go wrong with either! As I say in the video, these controllers aren't genre defiant, but I like to think that these videos are useful to those who want to know the differences in layout etc!

[@joshuaalderman]

As someone that is looking to buy a controller for the first time this video was very helpful, esp. w/ Pioneer moving away from the DDJ 400 which there were tons of comparison videos on. Thank you! This is the first video that has come out and said the Flex4 is essentially the DDJ 400 replacement

[@drk_fi]

What club style would you recommend for a beginner?

[@rl9148]

I watched this to help me decide whether to buy one or the other.

[@balajichippa6574]

which one is best DJ Console. I am the beginner.

[@erondudanjuma182]

Is flx4 compatible with serato dj pro?

[@martinshortdj]

Recommended flx4 or rev1. Plase answer? Iam beginner.

[@cheftommy]

if you want to battle DJ go rev1. flx4 more universal and more generalized

[@paulkristoffe85]

you choose one

[@djkit]

If the DDJ-REV1 was compatible with Rekordbox, I would choose that.

[@DJ_Eythx]

@@djkit Does this mean that if I prefer serato dj pro, then the Rev1 is a better choice?

[@chirantanchakma5124]

I guess the measurements weren't inches. . .

[@djkit]

Yes, they were in inches.

[@purrpocalypse]

They were in centimeter lol. I dunno why he's saying inches.

[@dop5]

A new Pioneer Controller is NOT made for Rekordbox... Please help me anyone...🤦🏻‍♂️

[@djkit]

Assuming you’re talking about the REV1? I wish it worked with rekordbox too!

[@dop5]

@@djkit exactly what i mean. Is there a chance for mapping, btw...!?

[@buddhabinaural]

So why is no one talking about important stuff. Every single review highlights that gimmick fader. There is probably nothing on a mixer less important than a gimmick for people who clearly don't give a shit about mixing and who will be bored and putting it on eBay a few weeks later. Why am I seeing features from leading companies that are a waste of time to DJ's? Make a CCJ/Fisher Price special needs mixer and fire away. Put all the gimmicks you want on it. £300 is budget price, not toy price, so don't give me a toy. I just got the Hercules 500 which would be great except there is 16ms of latency, compared to my Numark Scratch DVS mixer which is 1ms. Now having to return the controller because every review butt licked the 500 but not one review mentioned that it has a 16ms latency rendering it useless to me as Scratching is impossible and I want to do Hip Hop and Dancehall as well as EDM. Had to spend all Christmas fucking on with it, to find out it's a waste of time.

[@Jayeskool318]

What do you recommend for a beginner under $500?

[@Scientists_dont_lie]

I didn't like the 500 either.

[@izettmccalla9553]

Measurements not correct. 48 inches is 4 feet! They are not 4ft wide or over.

[@djkit]

Thanks for pointing this out. As you can probably imagine, those measurements are meant to be in CM. Apologies.

[@renesalazar9081]

53 inches you dont know what you talking about

[@djkit]

Apologies for my mistake!
