[@miguela.r1530]

Hello, thanks for the vídeo. I’m having troubles synching Tidal playlist, any suggestions?

[@daturaemusic]

Honestly I am super impressed by the functionality in just an app 🤯 For beginner DJs this is a blessing, it makes the start so much easier and more intuitive. For advanced DJs at first I thought it will only bring the perk of mobility BUT then you explained the phone features. It is simply awesome that I now can prepare or make some last minute adjustments on the phone and actually connect the phone to the CDJs, no more need to bring a bulky laptop and no way to forget an USB anymore! 🔥🔥

[@809Blaze]

I see how this is marketed for beginners but i have been djing for 10 years mainly just for fun these days, This is awesome, now I can buy a flx4 and a jbl charge 4 and have a setup i can take to the beach and not worry about messing up my laptop or having a power connection.

[@ck3plays]

I think Pioneer should make the app free with no ads for people that bought the actual Pioneer hardware.

[@zaqwsx28]

Yes! I already paid for the hardware unlocks for rekordbox. I'm not paying twice...

[@ari.opalin]

This is actually crazy for building sets while away from home 😮🔥

[@djraven-malaysia3079]

very detail in review. but i'll wait for the track seperation feature to decide whether i should migrate. Awesome work Crossfader!

[@Wicked-studios]

Finally!!!! I bought my FLX4 just for this. I am a bit annoyed that it is not free for those who bought the controller .... Pioneeerrrrr....

[@carlmsx9808]

My guess is Rekordbox see an opportunity to make some bux

[@Wicked-studios]

@@carlmsx9808 😜😜😜

[@DJMeku]

If they expand the supported controllers beyond flx4 will be great. Imagine hooking up ddj 1000 or flx10 to this and make a fully standalone setup on a budget

[@robertschnobert9090]

There's no word from Pioneer if they will ever support more controllers. I don't think they will. 🌈

[@chadzoe1]

Make available for Flx10 please

[@velezvelez7957]

Sure they will. Why would they spend as much as it takes to create such an app and limit it to one controller?

[@AvantHarde]

Pioneer stuff are not really on a budget lol… you have a laptop for less that runs Rekordbox than a Pioneer product :D but the support for all Rekordbox controllers would make sense and would be great indeed

[@DjCalliber]

They should 👍🏻🙏🏻

[@Dj-danielos]

I want to say thank you for this tutorial.for my experience it's note for a beginner DJ it's the future of DJing when I started it was vinyl and now the best option for me is to come with the cell phone 250 gb collections and library. There's no need for new equipment at all. The next generations of DJ controllers Will be only touch surface scream with the lair preference or any software that's the DJ prefer

[@ItsWesSmithYo]

Nice breakdown, thanks friends 🙏

[@SteveBretson]

I was since it was announced really looking forward to using this with Beatport link on my DDJ-800 to give my always overheating MBP a break. Hopefully they add compatibility in the future but I'm sure that's far from likely.

[@adler-for-real]

Amazing, should be fun to try this out :)

[@sadboolean8605]

Will compatibility be added for the other FLX controllers? (Primarily the FLX10)?

[@davidwestbrook6291]

Loving the video as usual. I’m currently a 21 handicap but would really like to be somewhere below 18 by the end of this year. 🤞

[@andre-zl1ye]

What’s a 21 handicap?

[@Hannibaul]

Lovely stuff J 😮😮😮

[@Crossfader]

Thanks!

[@nyingjea6837]

@Crossfader Great video Jamie! Do you know if it is possible to assign multiple colors to one track? I have a system where tracks could be used for a couple of playlists and I would like to assign at least 2 or 3. I was wondering if there is some type of work around. Thanks again.

[@AvantHarde]

wondering if other Rekordbox controllers will be supported like the FLX-GT6 or the RR

[@CREATEEDUCATEINSPIRE]

can I plug in my SSD drive with my library and prepare hot cues and playlists on the SSD?

[@scratchnmix9511]

This is it! Finally!

[@shauncollier7375]

When you plug it into a CDJ or Xdj, where did you plug it into. It’s not visible in the video, but a definitely not the usb drive slot at the top left?

[@TheJakJenkins]

Can you use the app to analyse songs and export on to a USB to get rid of the need for a laptop altogether?

[@gortys3929]

I hoped you could say more about paid features and limitations.

[@GrowingBuildings]

Congrats for this well explained video! Just a question how can import tracks into the app? Do I need a paid subscription? Thanks in advance

[@pierregallet1122]

Is the app compatible with DDJ1000? Doesn’t seem to be and can’t seem to find any documentation supporting that it will integrate with the ddj1000???

[@SagiLeiba-mn7uh]

Believing me I using with ddj 400 and earlier version of Rekordbox and this for me very good and I'm getting along with this I don't require stems and more things in the new version of Rekordbox and also I think that the ddj 400 remaining very good dj controller

[@asmkawsar]

Insane 😱😍🔥🙏

[@buddafingaz7516]

Hey guys, cool video, much appreciated 👍🏻😎💯🔥 Quick question my friend, do I need to either upgrade Rekordbox DJ, or Algoriddim DJay apps, when trying to set up, connect, & also utilize the app for all the quirks?? Or do I only need to download these mobile DJ apps, & then everything is just available for free on these mobile DJ apps?? Thanx man,respex 👍🏻😎💯🙏🏻🔥🎵

[@armanmatin]

is connecting to macbook still through wifi ? i have had so many issues with using wifi when i travel to be able to sync from laptop to phone . Wish they made it where you could use usb to connect

[@jimmyjogamer]

Only 12 years after Algoriddim Dj was released 🤣🤣

[@oregonfreddy]

Seriously. I've been loving djay for a few years. Not sure how this app is #1.

[@ItsWesSmithYo]

You’re not wrong, it took a long time…but to be fair they had to saturate the market with $2K plus CDJs and Mixers as long as people would tolerate it 😂😂😂

[@davidcaballero9173]

4:25 does anyone know when Beatport Streaming support is coming to the iOS Rekorbox app and/or if it has been officially announced as coming as of yet?

[@johnnyxthemacnifient5333]

is it also posible to midi map other device knobs through a hub or docking station for knob that are not mapped on my DDJ FLX4 like slip or scratch on off ?

[@lilbritton1]

If it uses the music on your phone but now days you can only have Apple Music or Spotify how does it work? Or did I miss it

[@JaylinAAllen]

My Tidal playlists are not showing. Anyone else? Maybe I have a setting wrong or it’s a permissions thing? Also thinking it’s because I have too many playlists and the app is having a hard time loading any of them?

[@RENERECHE]

If Pioneer would make this iPad app work like how a screen of an CDJ-2000NXS2 or 3000 or RX2/3 works while pressing a button that the whole screen changes into that function and when you press back it comes to the main screen again that would be awesome. Plus I don't understand why they only made it for the FLX4... I have an RX3 and an FLX10 now. FLX10 came later then the 4. I'm a person who really is on 50/50 now on what gear to bring to the venue's for playing. But if a great iPad app works on the FLX10 that would be an major upgrade.

[@maimon0242]

not possible with the ddj1000/flx10?

[@djmawuli5516]

Nice I love it ❤

[@AnonymousPerspective33]

What ipad are you using? I tried using my iPhone wired but it didn’t have enough power to use it. I had to plug the ddj fl4 to an outlet

[@iankohrea]

Do I have to download songs on my device or can I use an adapter and plug in my thumbdrive

[@supastar5702]

How does this compare to algoriddim djay pro?

[@pistaszekDebil]

my personal use for this app is a 3rd deck with an external mixer for my ddj 400 works flawlessly for just playing acapellas

[@djtropicaldisco]

How would you connect this to an XDJXZ? Would it involve wifi? or a laptop? Thank you

[@Joshua74801]

How do I get the library sync to work? I currently use on windows and Ipad Air (5th gen) and have the creative plan but nothing syncs into my ipad. All the songs are like faded out and doesnt allow to me load anything

[@ticketstomars]

thank you. can you export playlist from ipad\iphone to usb stick? open it on cdjs with all Cue Points and loops

[@Koxv2]

I hope they'll add support for DDJ-200 soon, It doesn't work right now. I find this as a very nice backup option, DDJ-200 + iPhone.

[@stokley121]

This app combined with a FLX4 in some ways mimics the Omnis Duo or Denon Prime Go, with more utility and cheaper. I plan to test out a full mobile setup with this and a Soundboks gen3.

[@Bondy94]

My app wont rotate like yours looked in settings and there is nothing in there about it, any ideas?

[@murilostokes2]

The time on the tracks is showing remaining time, how do I change that? also the jog seems to be at vynil mode, how do I change that aswell?

[@rafaelencarnacao9883]

Does it work connected to a DDJ400 via a USB cable and lightning adapter??

[@simonheath8701]

Id like to know this too. I use my ipad with midi piano connected to the usb to powered lighting adaptor. If i could do same with Rekordbox I can leave the expensive laptop at home.

[@lilart13ab]

Can u also use it for macbook pro laptop?

[@mr.b501]

What free download software I can use on digital Newmark decks, from a laptop to download your own music from phone

[@kristianrauch2565]

Hello there I'm having issues setting my audio output while connecting flx4 with my android phone...any idea ?

[@MACODJ]

hi, what does it mean XDJ RX2 - Discontinue? Does it not work fast?

[@DA-rp1wg]

cant I use master and headphone output together on IPAD?

[@ThomStanton]

Being able to prep music more easily on-the-go or mix in various locations via Bluetooth on-the-fly with on-demand sync to home gear plus direct connectivity on club gear makes this a big deal and potential game changer. Thanks for the overview, Jamie. 🔥💥🪩🪩🎚️🎛️🎚️🪩🪩💥🔥

[@user-mb5cn8be6o]

Hey there, Can somebody explain how the Audio output will function so that I can hear my mixing before it is heard on the speakers? Do I need extra gear for that?

[@joelfulco845]

I just wanna know how to import songs on the mobile app pls

[@jamesgilmour128]

Hoping there will be support for the xp1/xp2

[@tumeta]

nice hair bro💯💯💥

[@nofood1]

Can sync with DDJ-1000 ??

[@nes420]

so far, it looks pretty on par with what I expected. I am mostly disappointed by the UI, i understand pads need to be large for interaction purposes, but I don't think they used the screen real estate as best as they could on the ipad. it would be cool in the future if the interface was more customizable. it just doesnt look as cool and concise as its computer counterparts, given the limitations of mobile devices, but ios and ipados are getting increasingly more powerful and capable.

[@gruponetworks1499]

Please, does anyone know how I set the jog wheel to CDJ mode on the iPad? On Rekordbox on the computer I created a shortcut to switch between vinyl mode and cdj mode, but on the iPad I didn't find any option. Can someone help me?

[@kamililcewicz7572]

Does it work smoothly with older ipads??

[@safebroskii611]

I need help I’m on flx4 and on the app on apple do I need to pay to connect to my dm-40 speakers cos I don’t know how to do it off the app?

[@SystemCellSound]

I have to say I'm pretty annoyed that they don't have access to memory cues in the new mode...and even more frustrating is that the countdown is to the analyzed phrase change rather than the memory cue you make.

[@Franco_Mosca]

stupid question maybe...and maybe the wrong place but i got a ddj-flx4 using it with rekordbox on ipad....how do i connect them, as just over ipad it sucks power off....do i need an adapter for the power???

[@drewblanche]

I just got the flx10, if I had the xz could I use this app with It and not need a laptop at all to prepare sets with rekordbox? I wanna sell my laptop 💻 thx

[@francescog53550]

Algoriddim Djay Pro is still better overall

[@basslinepromotions]

This will evolve much faster though

[@phelper4554]

I don’t think it will pioneer is not really popular for making new innovations they have only the big plus that every club owns a pair of cdjs if it comes to features per price denon is should be the leader…

[@felixkrell890]

any news on flx 6 and android? I am really tempted to just get a tablet and the flx6, basically making my own little standalone station

[@ngtamphuong]

New Android version is available now. I've just downloaded it from the Play Store. I'm not sure about FLX6 though, is it a bit complicated to use on a tiny phone's screen?

[@shaungreen5109]

Will this work with the Wego series?

[@MrKoki]

How dissappointing. Why not use it with other controllers other than the flx4??

[@DocFUNKist]

And yet he’s very very impressed he said…

[@coreon7]

Lol I think it's because it's relatable to people like myself who have just got into dj-ing and watch these tutorials... Aren't you all a bit too experienced for these anyway? Lol

> It's compatible with my FLX4 😍 > I use Beatport as my track source 💀 It's a no for me (beginner level) until they fix that.

[@CaptainUncreative]

Dont use beatport, that site sucks so bad. Bandcamp is the way to go, every DJ will tell you that. Fairer pay, unlimited redownloads, you can choose data formats etc...

[@Pauuuuuuuuuuuulll]

How on earth have they not included it?! Just wasted 2 hours trying to download tracks and find a workaround.

So will this app work with my DDJ 1000?

[@zvookaadmin3967]

Will this work with DDJ over USB?

[@theraggyone]

Tried this on my flx 4 this morning , couldnt get cues to work when the headphones were plugged into the flx 4 . Was also disappointing that there were paid upgrades to make it work properly . Also was hoping my phone would power it for some limited portability but it needs a usb charger with my samsung s22 so i might as well just use my laptop . Seems piontless unfortunately . Gutted as it could of been great

[@reigorian]

My Tidal playlists don’t appear in the Rekordbox mobile iOS app. Also I don’t see an option to sync my Tidal playlists gathered in the Rekordbox app on my MacBook with my iPad. Does anyone else experience the same problem or know the solution?
