My first impression after watching this review of the FLX6 after using DDJ-400 extensively last 2 years: - The redesigned FX area improves workflow for those uses FX a lot (i do). Moving the beat-size selector closer to dry/wet knob is going to be more pleasant. Too bad the FX select is still a button, and not an endless encoder. Which would make FX selection so much easier. - About the FX channel selector, I noticed it now say "1, 2, 1&2". This is different from the DDJ-400 where it's "1, 2, MASTER". It might be pedantic, but there is a difference in "FX on deck 1 & 2" or "FX on MASTER channel". The latter also include ALL DECKS, plus the SAMPLER DECKS. The former is literally only deck 1 and 2. - Headphone controls are closer to the channel fader, which is also a nice touch for workflow. - For someone that wasn't too impressed with MergeFX: The Smart CFX button is almost begging to be MIDI remapped to CFX Select Next and CFX Select Prev. Smart CFX is very much a cousin of MergeFX. You can achieve similar (or better) results with extra MIDI controllers that has faders, knobs, encoders. I'm using a Xone K2 for that. - I wonder or that mic volume knob can be MIDI remapped for CFXSubParameter. Which is still a feature very much missing on the entry level controllers. - No phantom power for the mic input makes the whole mic feature just so there is the ability to. Also is the mic input send to a separate channel in the audio interface or will it be mixed down to a stereo channel before going out the USB interface? So in comparison, the DDJ-400 was a 2x4 interface (2 ins, 4 outs), is the FLX4 also 2x4 or a 3x4? - The RCA connectors looking bit sturdier on the FLX6. - Glad they moved the USB connector away from the RCA outputs: now you can use any L-shape USB connectors with the unit. Which was a problem with the aftermarket USB DJ cables like Chroma Cables from DJTT. - No more markers on the crossfader is a bit of shame, but I'll admit it does look cleaner this way. But they were somewhat useful when I just started on learning how to do cut techniques with the crossfader. - On the DDJ-400 there were lots of noise in the unit, both the headphone cue output as well the rear RCA. I wonder or the FLX4 is doing any better.

I had a Traktor for about six months, but ended up getting rid as didn't like it as I learnt on a pair of Pioneer CDJs and a DJM, but it was at the start of the pandemic, and the DDJ400s were like hens teeth. I ended up selling it and used the money to put towards PC upgrade. Forgot about it for a few years and sunk money into my PC. Recently, I got the itch to start again from watching James Hype. I was a bit worried about my missus' reaction when I told her, as she doesn't want us upsetting the neighbours. Over the last few weeks the downstairs neighbours bought really loud speakers and have really pissed her off, so I told her I wanted one and she's all for it. Buying one this week, and can't wait to get my hands on it 🙌

Buying this gives me a ) a lightweight rig for gigs where they don't have any equipment and b) the grounding of the Pioneer/Rekordbox OS. For all the bells and whistles (and sirens) of other brands, when you play out, you will be using Pioneers. Just as in the past we all had to learn on Technics.

Not sure if it was a software or hardware issue. It also was unusable with pc connected speakers as there was a sound lag which I could only get around by connecting external speakers directly to the connections on the controller. Which was not ideal for casual use. Ended up going back to my reliable, problem free - but a dated Traktor S3

@7:16 their is mention of a splinter cable for headphones. Can someone provide the type needed for this Flx4. Apologies, I am new to this DJin device that I am buying for my son. Btw this is a great video. I had been looking to get the DDJ 200 since the 400 was £400. My son will be getter a better DDJ at a better price thanks to this video.

It is sometimes referred to as a "DJ splitter cable" or "mono splitter cable". It is not the FLX4 you'd need it for, it would be the phone you're DJing with. You'd also need the headphones adaptor for your model of phone. But the best way to DJ with this unit is definitely, by a long way, with a laptop.

You can still learn an awful lot using the DDJ-200, DJing is not about the gear!

Does the smart fader function work with Serato too ? or is it only a Rekordbox feature ? Any idea ?

Not as well if at all, we haven’t tested fully yet

Does the 'smart fader' work with Serato Pro (or just Rekordbox)? (great video!)

Not really, no. It is a Rekordbox feature.

I'm interested in a comparison between the flex 4 and the rev 1

REV1 just Serato/laptop. Rest is just layout really.

thank you for the video i am a beginner and it helps me a lot.i have a couple of questions.1-if we buy ddj-flx4 do we have to pay for rekordbox or its have a license key like ddj400 model.
@digitaldjtips Жыл бұрын
you get the licence

Since this is a Rekordbox first controller, what do Serato users miss out on using the FLX4, and do Serato users run into any issues connecting, mapping, etc.? Do you recommend the FLX4 for Serato users?

Yes, it works fine. Effects mapping is lacking, but that's the same even with smaller Serato-dedicated controllers nowadays.

Nice video, but your conclusion for me is somewhat confusing. You mentioned buy buy buy the 400 (which I interpret as the DDJ-400), but I guess you meant buy the FLX4 mainly because is future proof (serato, rekordbox and tablet accessibility later on). Great video nonetheless!!
