“Don’t commit a crime and leave your FLX4 at the scene of the crime”. But you always kill it!

[@tourinojacks5844]

Good, short, and sweet honest review. I bought mine yesterday. I'm looking forward to rocking with it tomorrow. 👍

[@tonybrown4437]

Iam looking forward to buying my first controller. FLX4 is definitely for my skill level. Thanks for the review.👍

[@nibelungvalesti]

Not bad at all! Thank you for this showcase! Ordered mine.

[@epicfuturehouse]

I already got it for 2 weeks and I'm very satisfied

[@ryanperrault8174]

Thanks for making this. This is the controller I'm probably going to get to get started....Mostly for Techno and other electronic but I want to understand what DJ's are doing more so I can factor that into some of my songs. Plus it's just another skill to acquire and hobby to get into. I make music, but this should help with that.. Solid review.

[@djmattames]

Really love your review videos. I think you're a big tech KZbinr fan like I am (iJustine, MKBHD, Supersaf, Rene Ritchie, etc.). You are awesome at bringing this style into the DJ community, while also making it your own. Excellent review and overview of the FLX4!

[@ClevelandTerry]

Thank you for the kind words. I’m always trying to improve.

[@justwaylaa]

Thank you !

[@deonambrose]

I never knew it was compatible with Serato DJ Pro! I'm still using my SB3 but I'm thinking about upgrading.

[@djvillanelle7992]

Great review as always CT. I bought this to take on my travels because it's a steal. For the price, it's incredible. It's very lightweight and compact, and you can pop it in a rucksack or a wheel-on suitcase (wrapped up, obviously). For beginners, it has everything you could ever need and once you master all this can do, then it's time to upgrade. However, IMO it is much better with Rekordbox than Serato, so if you use Serato, even Pro, it doesn't have all the toys.

[@ClevelandTerry]

Agreed

[@moeberry3256]

Good day Cleveland

[@pablomiami]

I'm traveling sitting at airport waiting for my next flight connection while watching this and then 3:12 "Tell Daddy how you want it".. and I straight up LOL "HAHA" while wearing headphones and noticed I kinda freaked out some people around me in the waiting area hahaha

[@alphanomega2799]

Lol at least u had your headphones in

[@SPYGIRL007_mafiaqueen]

omg really cool yeah

[@DJWesReed]

Any chance this works with split cue on Serato? If so, likely internally since there is clearly no external split cue switch.

[@luciens3588]

Is the headphone output signal loud enough for cueing over speakers? I missed that one

[@kennethstallworth4037]

I just found out that if you use type C from the controller to your computer USB, it responds a lot better.

[@ignoranceisnotatrend4669]

Cleveland Terry, flex 4 or rev 1 for doing party gigs, being able to scratch but im not into battle djing especially at 51 years old 😂😂😂let me know your opinion? And i am on a budget said my wife so which one for long term use?

[@kobefargo805]

I currently have a DDJ 400 as my portable setup for when I'm in clubs with a tight fit. Not big enough for a road case. Question this FLX4 has a sound card, the DDJ 400 is not. It uses the laptop sound card. Is this much louder and cleaner sounding than the DDJ400?

[@DJAUDIO1]

Tell em, LA TERRY!

[@YC305]

Does this work with Djay pro algoriddim?

[@lasa6619]

Does this controller comes with Algoriddim Pro AI ready with License or purchase separately ??? ♥️🇱🇰

[@wraystv3054]

FLX4 or Hercules Impulse 500? Wich one is best for beginners like me.. I got them both, but waiting wich one i will send back. Thanks

[@djwobblesosa6434]

I have ddj sb3 and ddj sr2 good for 2023 y or n

[@CaseyFleetMedia]

Can I use it with my interface that’s hooked to my Mac? My Speakers are plugged into the interface. I don’t want to use the RCA jacks.

[@scarcorleon]

Did you figure it out? I have the same question

[@CaseyFleetMedia]

@@scarcorleon man I didn’t!

[@scarcorleon]

@@CaseyFleetMedia I just copped the ddjflx4 just now. I have the rode pro 2 I’m trying to figure out how to hook everything up to do a podcast

[@drewblanche]

@@CaseyFleetMediadude I have this same question cuz I recently got balanced cables for my studio monitors and I’m not wanting to use those other cords now 😢

[@CaseyFleetMedia]

@@drewblanche I think you can actually

[@Traumadj]

Bro I’ve been trying to figure out who you remind me if. The actor Isaiah washington Yep just ordered my flx today since they dropped the pioneer mobile app and djay pro official support to the Ddj flx 4

[@ClevelandTerry]

I have gotten that many times. 😀

[@djdubbs313]

I just bought one today

[@hermonbluesmaclin-theboogi6830]

Is it compatible with Algorithms dJay Pro Al app for Mac?

[@djdubbs313]

Yes

[@dwayneharris8957]

I got a quick Im have an issue with my flx4 connecting to serato pro. It will still connect in serato lite but when i got pro it will say connection fail how to i get it to connect. Also i have a mac book. Thanks

[@drewblanche]

Did you figure it out? 😢

[@djxcel23]

The rev1 is good

[@ClevelandTerry]

Yes it is

[@anjana4812]

Which speaker you use?

[@ClevelandTerry]

I have different speakers for different uses

[@enfield20]

I’m shocked you completely failed to mention the Smart Fader function in Rekordbox 😮

[@ClevelandTerry]

I did talk about the smart fader.

[@enfield20]

@@ClevelandTerry only in terms of transitioning with echo… but most of the reviews pick up on the “look! I slowly transform a 130 bpm track to a 90 bpm track while the software automatically adjusts the tempo and takes away the lows” phenomenon using in Rekordbox :) if your audience saw that they would probably buy this thing, for some it’s a really appealing feature, the smart echo thing is just a fracture of what smart fader can do on the flx 4 exclusively

Hello! Many thanks! Can I record my set with free rekorbox?

[@ClevelandTerry]

Yes

Can you play off USB ports? Can’t find out anywhere

[@ClevelandTerry]

Absolutely not.

[@Hello-userr]

Where is the review with VDJ? He also supports him. Why do you think only about Serato users.

[@ClevelandTerry]

This is the last thing I’m going to say to you about VDJ. When I typically release videos VDJ doesn’t have mappings yet. My videos typically come out day of or before the actual release. But that doesn’t matter because that is not the default software. The software I’m reviewing the software that COMES free with the hardware. VDJ does not come with it. You love VDJ. I get it. Let it go. If you don’t like the way I make videos, find someone you do like…or do them yourself.

[@Hello-userr]

@@ClevelandTerry I'm just giving advice. You don't have to listen. I reason as a subscriber that we want to see different things. I give you ideas for free, it's better for you. You will get more views and subscribers. Why not make a video with other software when he began to support it.

[@djwalkerfemaledj]

Thinking of getting this is get any good?

[@ClevelandTerry]

Watch the video 😀

[@djwalkerfemaledj]

@@ClevelandTerry I DID LOL

[@ClevelandTerry]

It’s a good affordable board. This one or the rev 1.

[@aringrey]

seems like a slightly better DDJ400

[@kreature6618]

USB-C - it's much worst, I took it back and got a 400!

[@ClevelandTerry]

Agree to disagree

[@drewblanche]

@@kreature6618you could’ve just got a usb adapter 😂

[@swrpn]

Is it better than Hercules Inpulse 500?

[@michaelegert1284]

I think so.

[@djmajesticeclectic]

Coming from someone who just got rid of a Hercules Inpulse 500 and now I owns the FLX4. I can say I prefer the FLX4 but enjoyed the Inpulse 500. It functions in Serato a little smoother. It does not have RGB but prefer the feel of the pads when you press them. The mic also works easily while streaming and I had issues with the Inpulse from that.
