Digital DJ Tips: Thank you Phil for the good Reloop Mixon4 Review. I already pre-order my Mixon4 in Guitar Center, USA. Its coming on December 20th. I will wait for your complete review sir. Thanks!
I’ve had email conversations with their R&D team about this. Great idea with a huge over site as others have stated. You should be able to use Djay 2 as an option with Chanel 1&4 as separate, switchable standalone inputs for external devices, like CD / mp3 deck or god forbid a karaoke machine lol. Also can’t believe this and the beatpad 2 don’t have a minimum 2 band EQ on the mic input !! Crazy. Should be 2 mic inputs with separate Eq also, for separate host, speech or wireless packs. Add those and I’ll take one. Even at a slightly higher price. For the wedding / party DJ it would be ideal.
Just recently purchased one of these without doing much research before hand said in the description it’s suitable for the new iPad pro 12.9 inch and the iPad does fit in the slot but unfortunately the new iPad pros use USB type C and there is no way for me to use the iOS input to play music while also charging the iPad really disappointed I even bought lightning BoltTo USB C adapter and the turntable does not recognise my iPad whatsoever I personally have to use the input that should be used for a PC using a USB hub to USB C port Which allows me to play music and all the features work but I am still unable to charge my tablet really disappointed in that fact anyone know of a better workaround? any info would be much appreciated :)
TO digital DJ Tips: Hello Phil! I got my Reloop Mixon 4 Dec.26. 2016 from Guitar Center, USA. Thought Sea Freight Shipping, i will receive it next Month. I got it for $799 + Tax. Thank you for your Good review on Mixon 4.
TO: Digital DJ Tips - Hello Sir Phil! Yes as soon i get it on hand, i will update you Sir. Thanks for your 4,000 miles away reply. I am from the Philippines. I appreciate it.
Thank you for this amazing video, I think it's perfect for home parties or some private events or professional djs to use at home and looking for new music on Spotify, it's rather not a device for clubs or paid jobs, because if your iPad or computer crashes it will be a disaster, because nothing worst at a party than when the audio stops playing, so it's way better to have a worst controller but safe and reliable than a one that is based on external devices like iPad, thats why still at the biggest parties people don't play from computers and streaming services but almost always from pendrives
The loop function is it only twist the knob and it select it or you have to push select? A little worry I might touch it and screw my loop timing! Also, the size of tablet what is the max that can fit on it? Pass that, That's the controller I always wanted, drop the laptop, just Controller + Tab! Save on weight and my back will thank me later! =)
Have had it for like a yr now. Great controller. The only gripe is the the ipad angle is too elevated. Actual looking into an ipad stand that lets it sit a little lower like the NVII or reloop touch screen angles.
@@digitaldjtips It is a shame for so many years without any new device from such a company... lets see what 2020 still has to bring... I see a lack of android and ios compatible mixers on the market still today, we got mobiles with upto 12GB of ram now a days, and barely good mixers that can connect to them. They need to catch up, if all those mixers worked since day one on those old mac laptops with 2gb RAM, any mixer should work today on any mid range to flagship mobile.
I notice the plug for the iPad adapter is not a USB adapter. I have a older version of an iPad. (iPad 2 to be exact) would finding the plug adapter for that be a problem being that my iPad is an older version?
Nice walk through. Was wondering with djay pro software, are the software effects post fader? I'm assuming on the Serato-side the effects would be post fader just like the ddjsx2.... thanks!
Digital DJ Tips Hi there. Nice review. How it works on 4 channel with Djay Pro app? there is any lags ? everything works smoothly? no slow down or later response when pressing buttons or using effects? Ive got new Ipad 2017 9.7 inch, is not too small? It will be good for operate four channels on 9.7 inch screen? Thank You, Kind Regards, Slaw.
What were they thinking with no auxiliary inputs? A huge turn off :-( We need 2 dedicated rear mic inputs on board with eq adjustments and effect assignments. would be nice to see a controller with an on board USB powered hub. Can this controller switch between to DJ'S? with USB A&B? This is geared towards a bedroom DJ controller :-(
I think the fact that it doesn't have an Aux input is a plus. Nothing worse than somebody saying "can you please play this song I have on my phone?" And it turns out its a RUclips video. Now when I tell them "I can't because I don't have an input" I'm telling the truth. LOL
Digital DJ Tips I’m hoping with the new iPad Pro it can handle these dj software with no issues instead of a heavy laptop. Hopefully they further develop this so latency and cpu hog is not a problem with a controller.
i love it. Still learning and experimenting too. Easy to buy a small mixer for more hardware or phone or mic inputs. Before DenonPrime 4 this was... and still IS.
OK so Ipad pro plus mixon = price of xdjrx which uses rekord box which is well established for prepping your tracks.seems like another waste of time this controller imo,cue buttons look nasty n all,small pitch fader.........
Great review here, sounds like a good all round controller from reloop, can it work with Asus zenpad 9.7 same as iPad pro in spec n power ? everything here looks well built, I would guess the pads are based or taken from reloop neons each side? the only thing I can see that ain't great would be the DJ pitch size compared to mixtrack or ddj rx, maybe reloop didn't have the space for that feature , but from a Dj like myself who uses vinyl and likes to mix with the pitch more I can see few limitations on this
so I Just bought it but i cant find the tsi file for traktor pro 2 to install it on my mac . i found one but it says that is for an old version of traktor. also i tryed to go on setup wizard but there is no mixon 4 on reloop controllers :(
@@digitaldjtips hi thank you for your answer. i already tryed them but there is nothing for this version. but i found an other solution. i just downloaded the traktor 3 cracked and i inported the mapping for reloop mixon 4 and it works .
Ok i have a ipad pro 12.9 but how do i get it to work with the Mixon 4 because my ipad has C-type charger and the Mixon 4 has the regular lighting cable
Tha's a good point and the answer is: I don't know! You should drop an email to Reloop support. You hopefully will be able to get the correct cable from them, or at least, they ought to know where to get it from. I guess it is possible to get Lightning to USB-C adaptors too, though I haven't looked...
Hi Diarmaid, here is the information I found on the Reloop site for you: iOS: iOS device (iPad or iPhone generation 4 or higher) with 8-Pin Lightning connection iOS 8 or higher (visit algoriddim.com for information on OS update compatibility) Download latest djay 2 / djay PRO version from the App Store Note: iOS devices will be charged when connected
Great, smart and helpful overview. Love Digital DJ Tips always intelligent and in depth vids. .Can you guys do a proper review of a hardware setup (Beatpad/Mixon 4) using Algoriddim DJay with an ANDROID tablet? Scoured the web for this kind of review and I have only seen either a) basic hardware reviews displaying an iPAD that say it 'can also be done on Android' ...b) lots of commenters saying that in practice DJay2/Android tablet isn't stable or reliable or crashes a lot and ...c) scratch demos. On a related note-- Can you explore solutions for using this set up even if you don't have Wi-Fi access. Algoriddim's partnership with Spotify is great in theory, but without offline support, deeply problematic. Keep up the great content!
Do you recomend using it with Serato ,i just bought this controllor. ill be using it with my MacBook ,i don't have a iPad yet .i was gonna buy one of the software programs there both on sale now Serato and Djay.
How much % of people you think would go playing with a controller on a festival or in a club where they al use nexus cdj etc. I think, if you come with a controller they send you home, sadly enough.
Digital DJ Tips Let us hope that there will be a time that dj's just have the change to play with there controllers. A guitar player can play with a mexican Fender telecaster, nobody cares that he isn't playing on a Les Paul. It's about the music, not the gear ... my opinion 😉
Another great video/review. Thanks so much for sharing Phill. Always enjoy your reviews. No BS & straight to the point.. Thanks again.
As always, thanks so much for checking it out!
Digital DJ Tips:
Thank you Phil for the good Reloop Mixon4 Review. I already pre-order my Mixon4 in Guitar Center, USA. Its coming on December 20th. I will wait for your complete review sir. Thanks!
Awesome, how do you like the Mixon so far?
You still like it?
I’ve had email conversations with their R&D team about this.
Great idea with a huge over site as others have stated.
You should be able to use Djay 2 as an option with Chanel 1&4 as separate, switchable standalone inputs for external devices, like CD / mp3 deck or god forbid a karaoke machine lol.

Should be 2 mic
inputs with separate Eq also, for separate host, speech or wireless packs.
Add those and I’ll take one. Even at a slightly higher price.
For the wedding / party DJ it would be ideal.
Good feedback, thanks!
So... did you get anywhere with those E-mails?
Would be nice if the next gen would have a standalone (USB) feature.
Nice to see a review in english up. Been waiting to see more on this. Thanks Phil...
No problem!
0:20 *Yes but without case, no protection for the iPad*
Very true!
Serato DJ does come with the controller now
Thanks D.J. HEX
Thanks again Phil for the review. Great as always! I've been wondering about this controller and now I know, thanks to your review.
Happy to help out Todd :)
My Mixon 4 actually did come with a full Serato DJ Pro unlock.
Yes it does, I think Phil just worded that part a little unclearly
Just recently purchased one of these without doing much research before hand said in the description it’s suitable for the new iPad pro 12.9 inch and the iPad does fit in the slot but unfortunately the new iPad pros use USB type C and there is no way for me to use the iOS input to play music while also charging the iPad really disappointed I even bought lightning BoltTo USB C adapter and the turntable does not recognise my iPad whatsoever I personally have to use the input that should be used for a PC using a USB hub to USB C port Which allows me to play music and all the features work but I am still unable to charge my tablet really disappointed in that fact

Damn, makes my pioneer ddj sx2 look a 1000 years old... i'm sold, great review!
Glad it helped!
This is the very best

Many DJs happily use laptops at the biggest clubs.

It's loads of fun. Not a terrible con all things considered, hope you find a fix soon 🙌Thanks for watching Keith!
Is there a setting for having mic sound go through headphone master?
It is 2020 and still no updated or new versions? Anyone knows if RELOOP has anything planned?
Nothing we've heard
@@digitaldjtips It is a shame for so many years without any new device from such a company... lets see what 2020 still has to bring...

I think we'll see more in future as you say everything is getting so powerful these days
I notice the plug for the iPad adapter is not a USB adapter. I have a older version of an iPad. (iPad 2 to be exact) would finding the plug adapter for that be a problem being that my iPad is an older version?
no fx unit assigner button for each deck?
It has a Macro FX function - essentially to combine classic filters with an additionally assignable effect per channel, using one control knob
Hey, i use the MMX-31 microphone mixer to create more inputs. A 3,5 to 6,3 jack for my backup audio.
Nice walk through. Was wondering with djay pro software, are the software effects post fader? I'm assuming on the Serato-side the effects would be post fader just like the ddjsx2.... thanks!
Thank you for the review Phil. It looks like a great controller.
Of course, happy to review it :)
is that the large 12.9 ipad, i thought that can't fit.
I was ready to buy it, but without audio-in I can't use my CDJs with this. Too bad because it looked so promising:(
Definitely a downside if you'd like external gear :/
You wont need a cdj unless your computer dies
Is it possible to switch back and fourth from Djay Pro to Seroto on the fly? Essentially use them both at the same time if needed?
Good question Russell - think it's possible, but we didn't try it first hand
Please how can I increase my BPM from 100 to 125 in reloop mixon 4
Digital DJ Tips Hi there. Nice review. How it works on 4 channel with Djay Pro app?
there is
any lags ? everything works smoothly? no slow down or later response

Once again, your reviews kick-ass and are beautifully comprehensive! Keep up the brilliance, Good Sir! ^_^ XO
Thanks, Jake :-)
I found a mate selling a used one online for $585 should i or shouldn't I?
USD? That doesn't seem like a good deal, it's a good controller though
Really. Sweetwater is also selling brand new for $799. But thank you I trust you. I will pass on it.
Good review as always
Thanks for watching and commenting as always, love the support!

this control look biger then pioneer sx2 witch one is better digital dj tips
Hey Julio, here's our full opinions on each:

Ok thanks
I was really hoping to get a better idea of what the library navigation was like.
Thanks for checking out the video and for the feedback!
will my surface pro fits in the slot?
Tim Weening you can not go past the thicknes of a ipad air.
any pioneer ddj suitable use by ipad pro 10.5?and together with usb function?
Hmm, you might look at the DDJ-WeGO4 :) www.digitaldjtips.com/reviews/pioneer-dj-ddj-wego4/
Will the new pioneer controller 1000 be better with the iPad ?
Good question - only tested the 1000 on a laptop though: www.digitaldjtips.com/reviews/pioneer-ddj-1000/
Digital DJ Tips I’m hoping with the new iPad Pro it can handle these dj software with no issues instead of a heavy laptop. Hopefully they further develop this so latency and cpu hog is not a problem with a controller.
🤔 this could be what I'm looking for as I have the full size iPad pro 👍
Great video! Does the ipad have to run on battery? Or is it "fueled" by the unit's power supply?
Yannick Therrien it does charge from the mixons dc supply
Connecting too a Bluetooth speaker possible? Trying too link with my google home max.. thinking through rca????
If your Bluetooth speakers have a wired input, yes that will work and is the way your should do it.
i love it. Still learning and experimenting too. Easy to buy a small mixer for more hardware or phone or mic inputs. Before DenonPrime 4 this was... and still IS.
Yeah a cool little controller this one :)
bee waiting for a review in this ,gonna give this a watch!
OK so Ipad pro plus mixon = price of xdjrx which uses rekord box which is well established for prepping your tracks.seems like another waste of time this controller imo,cue buttons look nasty n all,small pitch fader.........
I have an iPad pro 12.9 with djay pro. Is there any lagging when scratching?
None that was overly noticeable in our review :)
What wire did you use to hook up the iPad to the mixer
The supplied lead.
Great review here, sounds like a good all round controller from reloop, can it work with Asus zenpad 9.7 same as iPad pro in spec n power ? everything here looks well built, I would guess the pads are based or taken from reloop neons each side? the only thing I can see that ain't great would be the DJ pitch size compared to mixtrack or ddj rx, maybe reloop didn't have the space for that feature , but from a Dj like myself who uses vinyl and likes to mix with the pitch more I can see few limitations on this
What you using to plug in headphones?
There's 2 headphones connections - you can use regular headphone 1/8" or use a 1/4" adaptor :)
so I Just bought it but i cant find the tsi file for traktor pro 2 to install it on my mac .
i found one but it says that is for an old version of traktor.
also i tryed to go on setup wizard but there is no mixon 4 on reloop controllers :(
Have you tried Tech Tools or TraktorBible? :)
@@digitaldjtips hi thank you for your answer.
i already tryed them but there is nothing for this version. but i found an other solution. i just downloaded the traktor 3 cracked and i inported the mapping for reloop mixon 4 and it works .
Where can I buy the IOS lightening 8pin legged cable for Reloop beatpad2 ??? Please advice
I would contact Reloop directly, as it is not a standard cable as far as I am aware.
Ok i have a ipad pro 12.9 but how do i get it to work with the Mixon 4 because my ipad has C-type charger and the Mixon 4 has the regular lighting cable

@@digitaldjtips thank you i will drop reloop an email
will that hold the new 12.9 ipad is that what you got there
It's not the new one, but it's a large Pro, so yeah, should be fine.
What's the price ?
USD $799 - you can check out our full review here: www.digitaldjtips.com/2016/11/review-video-reloop-mixon-4-controller-for-djay-pro-serato-dj/
Where you get that lightning cable for your iPad Pro 12.9?
Can't remember now, sorry!
So doesn’t work with djpro2? Algoriddim?
It works with both DJay 2 and DJay Pro for iOS
This is my first controller and I'm very happy with it been using it for almost 6 month now. Still learning and discovering.
Awesome, glad you're having fun Waleed.
Hi, how are the pitch faders? Not too short?
hi!! it works ok whit macbook pro???
Hi Orlando! Yep :)
how about ipad pro 10.5?
@@jsnletshiphop No problem, all Iphones and iPads with lightning work with this thing.
I really want this mixer/control
You wont regret it $599 right now
So im virtual dj user andd its worth buying this controller or ? I need to upgrade and buy serato pro ?
We're fans of this one (gave it 4 and a half stars in our review) and it works well with either Serato or VDJ :)
Does this work with iPhone 5s djay2 or djay pro
Hi Diarmaid, here is the information I found on the Reloop site for you:
iOS:
iOS device (iPad or iPhone generation 4 or higher) with 8-Pin Lightning connection
iOS 8 or higher (visit algoriddim.com for information on OS update compatibility)
Download latest djay 2 / djay PRO version from the App Store
Note: iOS devices will be charged when connected
que precio tiene amigo?
USD $799
Hello thanks for the review but can it work with acer laptop?
Hi David, as long as your laptop meets the minimum system requirements and can run DJ software then yes! :-)
Digital DJ Tips OK but I have been trying it, it's not working because I just bought the mixon 4

My DJ piers. Show Roland some respect.
Roland to DJs is like Nike to NBA.
DJ 808 plays all functions of Serato DJ Pro, especially pitch play.
can this be used with pc windows ?
Yes
Do you recomend using it with Serato ,i just bought this controllor. ill be using it with my MacBook ,i don't have a iPad yet .i was gonna buy one of the software programs there both on sale now Serato and Djay.
Sure, it works well with Serato DJ or djay software - so either is good :)
can i plugin my phone into this unit on a channel to maybe play music thru my phone on a channelthat channel lets say channal 4
No, as there's no Aux input.
Great video
Thanks Phil!
Best controller on the market
Definitely a good one :)
The pitch how to fine tune
It’s with djay 2
I mean works with djay 2
No inputs ? Reloop need to step up
Nice controller, but not ideal if you need anything external
Nice....bro
:D
Shame it doesn't come with software, looks like a nice bit of kit.
It works with Serato Pro out of the box
Waiting for mine to arrive, Amazon did a price drop on them. £250 new. Bargain!
That's a bargain!
How much % of people you think would go playing with a controller on a festival or in a club where they al use nexus cdj etc. I think, if you come with a controller they send you home, sadly enough.
I think it depends on the festival and what has been agreed with the promoters/management beforehand.
Digital DJ Tips Let us hope that there will be a time that dj's just have the change to play with there controllers. A guitar player can play with a mexican Fender telecaster, nobody cares that he isn't playing on a Les Paul. It's about the music, not the gear ... my opinion 😉
some dj use traktor and/or midi controllers like maschine for their performance, so yes they come with their controllers
No inputs??? Ruined it.... Shame on you Reloop!!!
Thanks for your comment. It is a shame not to see inputs there, maybe petition them for the updated version? :-)
Digital DJ Tips They are calling this their flagship controller?
It is a solid controller, just a major oversight not having inputs of course.
