I've got to say I'm getting really fed up with everything going to subscription services these days. The amount that the consumer is expected to pay (especially for pioneer gear) then they want another regular payment every month or year is getting silly now. It really isn't for me and is starting to put me off DJ'ing all together after I have spent thousands over the years on gear and music just to be made into a monthly payment cash cow. It really is a shame and I do think I'm not going to be alone on this train of thought.

I'm a huge djay Pro AI fan and use the Mac version exclusively at gigs. That said, I have been very surprised at how much they've had wide open lanes to accelerate in the phone/tablet DJ market, even to the point that people who use Rekordbox, Serato, VDJ, etc. tend to purchase it for their mobile devices. This app seems to be a first major step toward other desktop juggernauts entering the highway.
@djmattames Жыл бұрын
Side note: I think Rekordbox is going to be software to watch over the next couple of years. Pioneer has done a lot to benefit Serato (and vice versa), primarily, but like Apple has for decades, they really seem to be tapping into wanting to control the hardware/software integration experience. It's a little different as their software lives on other manufacturers' devices, but similar in they are already the controller/mixer kings. It looks like Pioneer is paying a lot more attention to Rekordbox these days. Goodness knows they have the resources.

Not much use if you use the standard gear (CDJs/ mixers). It would be really cool if you could plug this into a CDJ, use the jay as a controller and mix with only one. Also makes me think of the bluetooth on the new A9. I would imagine you could also plug this into the multi i/o on a V10 and get even more decks (if the six it already has isn't enough for you) or you could use it on the go to flesh out a mix idea you have. I like the model of being able to work on the go (when you are not in front of your gear), it lets me sneak in a little extra DJ time.

I'm not sure if such app would be performant enough. In app performance world you need to be closest to the hardware level as possible. In this case it's DJ app, which you can even use via bluetooth which mean they must provide lowest possible latency, no overheating of the hardware, no sound spikes/lags etc. So I'd say just for the performance reasons hybrid app is out of the window. They have to do it natively for each device. You can see this happening with Algoriddim DJay, where iOS version supports a lot of devices why Android one supports just a few. You must write native app for best performance and no compromises can be done there.

So what power supply does the FLX4 need? Pioneer says a 9V 3A power supply unit? Have not found anything yet. Should be 27W at least? QC only has 18W (9V 2A). Tried 5V 2.4A, did not work. Update: Tried some universal charger that supports 9V 3A - it works, but these are quiet expensive (50 €+). And as Phil says in the video, without subscription, it's useless, because you can't use headphones! Fun fact: The app also delivers updates to the FLX4. So you can update the firmware without a Mac or PC. Update 2: You CANNOT use your MacBook for powering only the FLX4. Pioneer released an firmware update today which allows using the FLX4 with djay pro AI. Haven't tried, because I don't have pro, but the app recognizes the controller and wants to map it. Looks like this only works with pro. So I'd say djay pro AI is cheaper and currently the better deal for the FLX4 than the new rekordbox dj app.

Nope! Can confirm it's on Android!! I have the app, you just need to have Android 11 and up if you're wondering, though it didn't get the new feature of the rekordBox mobile app which is performance mode, so hopefully it'll come soon, waiting since last week of January :)

Has anyone noticed that all buttons and pads are not illuminated except for the loop buttons when the controller is only connected to the iPhone/iPad via Bluetooth? Is that supposed to be the case? It's the same for me and at first I thought the controller was defective. If you connect to the iPhone/iPad via cable, it's different, but even then the controller can only be used if it is also connected via Bluetooth. If this is actually intended, it seems to me in any case not useful.

You still have to pay 50 a year if your a pro sub? The wait for Android was expected, anoying but I wont buy a iphone just for this, im guessing a few more months to wait. I want to know 2 things please if anyone can help, can you record sets on your phone (and if so what format), and does it save gain changes for individual songs like it would on a computer? I'm using Cloud and Pro sub.

To be honest I’m very disappointed. I have a DDJ-1000 and my laptop is getting old. I was really looking forward to the iPad version of rekordbox to replace my laptop by an iPad to have a XDJ-XZ style setup but sadly it’s only compatible with entry level controllers and it looks very features limited. I thought we would get a real competitor to Djay Pro AI but Rekordbox looks to still be far behind

It's unlikely this will ever be integrated into flagship gear. Professionals don't want gimmicks, this tech will need to mature for a long time and be very useful before we see it on anything that's not entry level. Noritsu will probably add a lot of new, gimmicky stuff to the software and lower end controllers, now that they own Pioneer Dj they will want to explore new streams of revenue.
@DjFusion86 Жыл бұрын
@@aaronb9630 How is it a gimmick? Except for the base iPad (which is still very powerful) all the other ipad have an m1 chip which is the same as some macbook (not with the same tuning but still). iPads are now more powerful than a lot of macbooks that run rekordbox just fine. Since MacOS and iPadOS run on the same architecture now, there’s no good reason why they can’t put out a full version of rekordbox on iPad.

When you factor in the price of the subscription and an iPad, I'm thinking I'll just get a Windows tablet for my next DJ PC. Their battery life is almost as good as iPads now and I can just use one PC with DDJs, XDJs, FLXs with no monthly fee and no need to resync anything.

Show it all. Serato vs Virtual DJ. Serato there are no scratch settings. Algorithms, filters, wheel sensitivity. He does not know how to disconnect the sensor from the track on the controllers by removing his hand, waiting for the wheel to stop completely. He does not know how to play the track right away, does not depend on the speed of the motor. The sensitivity of backspin and forwardspin is not adjusted. Quick scratch hurts the ears, many DJs mute the scratch on the serato. The interface is clumsy. Nothing can be changed. There are no skins. The buttons are stupid as children's cubes. Sync is stupid, in order to disable it, you do not need to press it again, but on a separate off button. The wave of tracks, type, height, color, shape, etc. are not selected. ZOOM is very limited, you can not quickly adjust the mouse wheel. Not a convenient grid setup, VDJ is easily selected with the right mouse button. There is no SandBox to scratch with a crossfader in headphones. Poor sound tuning. Output for recording or broadcasting via crutches. There is no choice of ASIO. There is no sound card selection. There is no ExclusiveMode - direct access to the hardware of the audio card.VDJ even 1 ms on the built-in audio card does not wheeze anything. The sound delay is worse. It cheats in ms (because sound is coming through wasapi). The laptop speaker mode is generally a crutch with a sound delay. Draining the tracks browser and inconvenient playlists. Does not know how to work directly with tracks, as a file explorer, edit and other operations. Even the pitch range has no settings in the software. Does not support different plates with a time code. From a 2kHz tractor, more sensitive. There are no PitchQuality-pitch quality settings, but as an additional crutch, they sell PnT for money and without settings Does not distinguish keylock from MasterTempo, and these are different chips The SeratoPlay crutch is generally a shame. VDJ is much better managed. The right mouse button is not involved at all.A bunch of functions are done through the ass. More consumption of computer resources, at times. VDJ flies without stems at all - ideally light for scratch. It's like buying a TV in which they don't even let you tune the sound and channels. Everything is stupid and limited. And VDJ can do everything. Therefore, I want more videos where they test VDJ vs Serato vs Traktor. FROM scratch on DVS, scratch on the controller, slow scratch how it sounds, master tempo on and off, different modes, scratch filters and pitch height, etc. Different controllers how they sound when scratching, because they have sensors of different resolutions (number of counts per revolution). That's what you need, and not stupidly show the Serato 100500 times. Yet it is known in comparison. ;)
