Is the DDJ-FLX4 the BEST DJ Gear?

[AY-okoy]

Its great that I got the 400 like 3 years ago and abandoned it in my room after 4 months, now I finally got the interest back and start praticing on that bad boy again. Knowing that the the 400 could only be found on ebay with this price is such a relief for me.

it's the strip down version of the SRT-1000, and so good for travel & portability while keeping you in tune with your larger setup if you have both, as I do, and love it.

I only Dj on twitch but I personally love the modern aesthetic, touch, and feel of the flx4. I find it does all I need it to do, although I do miss the reloop button from the ddj400 that goes back to your previous set loop. Also for some reason I'm unable to set FX to master/both decks, just one at a time even at the 1&2 switch. Not sure if that's a bug or not

I went from the Ddj 400 to the Flx 4. I like it but he clearly pointed out the biggest issue.

Inpulse user here! I personally always had a good experience with them, comes with a completely free software too! :)

I went from DDJ 400 to Hercules Inpulse 500 and am loving it

Short video but super useful, I really didn't know what buy to start djing

[NexuJin]

DDJ-400 + XONE K2, both with solid USB-B connectors! A portable setup that with a custom mapping, allow 4-decks control with full FX-bus controls.
With the ability to layer (up to) 3 FX's on the 2 FX buses and independently assign them to a deck, something you can't do with more expensive DJM hardware setup.

i have a FLX4 since 6 weeks and im absolute in love
want that first show asap!

I love my FLX4 but Pioneer really need to release some firmware updates ASAP. My play/pause buttons stop working constantly, and even my shift + beat sync button (I have it custom mapped to set the beginning of the beat grid) stopped working once. This is all using DJay Pro, which is not gig ready by any means, but it's the controller's issue because my DDJ-200 worked flawlessly with DJay Pro.
Still think the FLX-4 is the best because it supports Serato which will have stems like DJay Pro soon. Stems in a gig ready software like Serato is a game changer for hobbyist/small party DJs like me.

@djcarlo I read somewhere about the Numark platinum durability after a while not being the best. Any thoughts?

Protocol when you mess up a mix live

Step 1 overreact and place both hands on forehead

Step 2 check cords with a very confused expression on your face.

Step 3 stay looking confused and start talking to the sound guys asking them whats going on with the sound system.

Step 4 tell the crowd there was some technical difficulties and that its all fixed now.

Step 5 drop a banger.

Why did you simulate the dj controller turning off during a live event? Does that happen?

[djbrotherelectric]

There's a few perfectly good see CDJ's setup right next to you.

Numark mixtrak platinum is what I use at the events I do and I absolutely love it.

[DJNMIX]

i use with chroma cable from djtechtools and is very stable with the flx4, no problem since december 2022 to now june 2023

[Schxndr]

Probably good for producers who want to learn to dj, getting it to perform home sets so if I do mess up nothing really to worry about vs being on stage live

[avienox]

Hi! What would you recommend to someone who is TOTALLY new to DJing wanting to play Techno generally? Is it FLX4 again? I feel close to Platinum FX as well..

[tmus]

shame they didn't keep the usb-b and introduce the usb-c as a secondary/phone connection option... But still, looks like a decent successor to the 400, but still... will hold off upgraded my 200 until the bugs are fixed I think, particularly with the android side of the Rekordbox App

I'm happy with the Numark mixstream pro. It does what I need and I don't need to run it through a laptop.
