    Bro, I found this video to be the actual most useful video for this product. I bought the product based off of everybody saying best entry-level. When I got it, I was using my DDJ Gold SB3 and was impressed with everything simplicity too then this came 😯

    10:50 quick info to different beat jump intervals: when holding shift and pressing either of the two bottom right buttons, you can switch pages w/o the need to click through the software!

    The fact that some effects are droning loud by default it's great that you can control the threshold of their volumes.

    Nice video man, got the FLX4 2 days ago but DHL late delivering my speakers and headphones so using it slowly. Had 1210s back in the day and dug all my old records out from my parents at the weekend! Looking forward getting to grips with this new kit 😃

    Hi there, really good straight forward content with just the stuff you need to know,
    My Question, can you set up samples as your DJing, on standalone equipment without needing Rekordbox, I’m 53, and only use stand alone, zx & 3000s ?
    Thankyou

    • @djkarlthomas
      @djkarlthomas  2 месяца назад +1

      Unfortunately not no…unless you make a samples playlist and then export them to a USB then you can load these on the standalone device as a track as far as I am aware

      You should be able to choose which view you would like in the top corner. This is called 2 deck vertical.

    Perfect, just what I needed to know to get started, thank you.. I was looking for the 'Beat Loop' to extend the outros while I do some long mixes. One question I did have though, was if Rekord Box remembers the Hot Cue's for each of your tracks. I guess it does? I will find out soon enough!!! Looking forward to checking out some more of your videos soon. Subbed.

    • @djkarlthomas
      @djkarlthomas  6 месяцев назад

    I have a question so I remapped a few of my pads to activate FX2 also switch from effects along with parameters to go high or low, but my question is how do I assign the Dry/Wet knob to specifically only move on FX at a time. I was able to do something close to it but it turns on all my FX’s which I don’t mind but would be nice to separate them.

    • @djkarlthomas
      @djkarlthomas  3 месяца назад

      Not sure on this one as you have remapped things. I use the controller as it comes. Maybe explore this question on a forum with other users that have remapped the controller

    Good evening, very nice video, I wanted to ask a question that may be unrelated, but could you recommend a relatively cheap speaker to connect to my Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 DJ Controller and maybe you could tell me what cables I need like usb, rca to connect them because I've seen a lot of videos and I can't find someone to explain them in detail, I also don't know if the computer plays a role but I have a macbook air, thank you very much for your patience🙂

      Something like these to start on. Affordable and priced as a pair. Connects using rca leads from the master of your FLX-4. www.djkit.com/pioneer-dj/dm-40d-k-black-active-monitors.html
