I agree. I don't mix edm but that merge knob just spoils it for the people like James Hype who do it all themselves. It's not fair if someone can press a button that does everything for them and everyone around them thinks there is loads of skill involved.

This one sounded great initially for the price and the fact that it has 4 channels and comes with Serato Pro. Well, you just helped me realize that I almost got hustled. Cant plug my turntables into those 2 extra channels, Serato DJ Pro is trash on here, and NO BALANCED OUTPUTS (and aux)?! Thank you for saving me the time and money!

I'd love to see you make a 2020/2021 Video about "old" hardware. I'm still rocking my VCI-400 with timecodes and digital inputs that works perfectly with Traktor (Tried VDJ and Serato but I'm not a user so I can't say if it's good enough) it has all you pointed missing (balanced / booth / line ins ...) Also about the "magic effects" you should try the Traktor F1 with Tekken mapping on Traktor. It's just amazing and as the description says it's instant gratification. Anyways, great video I'd love to try this one because of the big jogs as you pointed out, it is a great selling point, even if the big cutter works in mysterious ways with the actual software.

Hey great review Phil, but I have to disagree with you when you say that the controller is not for Serato. When you said that I almost didn't buy it, thank God I did. I own two audio-technica's lp1240 And1 S9. I was looking for something that had the same feeling but for mobile DJs. I used to own a ns72 but that thing was just too clunky to be carrying around. So I sold it last year. But the DDJ flx six is actually perfect and light and has great jog wheels and has some really amazing features. Now as far as as the software side it works great with Serato you just have to have a knowledge of the way cerato operates and once you power it up and use it for about a week or so you will start to get used to it. Everything that's on the ns72 and all the other controllers for Serato is there but you just have to get used to the layout

Is it class compliant for plug-n-play with  M1? Also, reports are Rekordbox DJ is working fine on M1. The MergeFX will be good for quick mixing too... not for every transition, but utilized sporadically between normal or regular transitions, cuts, drops, mixes, etc. The jog-cutter should sound better as long as the sample is longer.

So I use both Serato and Rekordbox. I currently have the DDJ 400 and loving it but want 4-channel control without having to touch my mouse or keyboard. This or the DDJ 800? Or should I just skip it all because I’ve already learned the basics that I need and just want full control and go for the 1000 already?

If you're already thinking about it just skip the 800 and get the DDJ-1000

Great review Phil. I think they should have done a little better with this controller. On the other hand, I'm seriously considering buying the 1000 SRT (I currently own the SX2). I'm a mobile dj and need portability but also something that gives me quality sound and important features. Do you think this is a good time to buy the 1000 SRT? Or should I wait a few months to see what they come up with?. Thanks in advance.

Not sure why you want to change from your SX2. They are different controllers, but one is not immediately better than the other.
@AT-wl9yq
@AT-wl9yq 2 жыл бұрын
I have both. The SX2 works with both RB and Serato, but with the 1000 you have to pick one or the other. The 1000 has some extra features, but the build quality doesn't inspire confidence. Compared to the SX2, the 1000 feels light and cheaply made. You can do a couple of things to enhance your system without spending a ton of money on a new controller. If you need more buttons/functionality, you can get something like a Launchpad Pro, and just map features to it. Its very easy to do. Also, a lot of mobile DJ's are finding out that adding a small analog mixer to their setups is a really smart move. It takes care of all the mic issues that mobile DJ's seem to run into. Its also the best way to do a back up in case something happens to your controller. You can have your computer connected to your controller and a stereo input on an external mixer at the same time. Mixing from a laptop isn't ideal, but its better than an iPhone. If you do a search on youtube, there are plenty of mobile DJ's that go over all the details better than I can.

as someone who moved up from the ddj 400, ive got to say, give this controller a miss folks, as good as having 4 channels, and the bigger jog wheels are, the price of this unit is only £69 less than what i paid for my DDJ 800 new, it also lacks balanced inputs and outputs which makes the audio vulnerable to ac hum, which i had issues with on my previous ddj 400, once i moved up to the ddj 800, AC hum was eliminated. Even as a hobbiest, i would totally avoid this controller folks, for a little extra the DDJ 800 is a much smarter choice, and if you really need the 4 channels, the DDJ 1000 if you want to remain in the Pioneer ecosystem.

Hi there, I am an aspiring DJ and feel that I could do with moving up from the ddj 400 I would like to move up to the 800 or 1000 but I am having trouble with finding ones that are in stock, is it worthwhile me buying this controller as it's slightly cheaper than the 800 and 1000?

@AT-wl9yq

The xlr option isn't the big deal everyone makes it out to be. There's a difference between having a component with xlr connectors on it and having a balanced component. Most of the time when people connect everything with xlr cables, they don't meet all the requirements for balanced operation. And if you don't have everything exactly right, its identical to using rca cables. If you really need a balanced connection, like you sometimes do when plugging into a big club system, just use a DI box. That's what they're for. It should be better because the components in a DI box are usually better than whatever a low to mid price controller is going to have built into the output stage.

just bought a ddj flx 4 but after seeing that serato pro is 250 and that Ive already honed skills with the flx 4 im thinking about returning and forking over the extra $300 for this controller. Since this mimcs 4 decks I think that this is best option that allows me to grow into. Would you agree with that today compared to other controllers on the market with that at this price point ?

As a DJ since the 90's, I wanted something with all digital media there shared between 2 or more decks & not multiple loads of USB drives everywhere. The 1000 wasn't in UK stock (it would also allow turntables & hardware players input). This seemed viable option until November / December (UK stock in). Also out of stock so used a DDJ400 then after a refund on something else, elsewhere managed to get flx6 & DM40. 2 controllers & monitors for the same price of just flx6.Cant complain. Essentially it is the DDJ 600. It's a 4 channel version with a few extras you choose to use or don't. Maybe the longer high Res pitch adj would have been better over the jogs? But if you're only mixing Rekordbox then midi signals no different sent from this or the 1000. Your just controlling the same software with each, with the same outcome.
