Product Information

Launch the Rekordbox mobile app and turn your mobile device screen horizontal to close the browse screen. Audio dropouts: This can be caused by a number of factors, including driver issues, software conflicts, and hardware problems. The FLX4 supports Bluetooth connectivity, but if you prefer to use a wired connection, the USB-C port allows you to connect your device and record microphone audio along with all other audio without the need for an external sound card. Smart CFX is a collection of eight built-in effects that can be applied with a single turn of the knob. Each effect is a combination of multiple effects, such as echo, reverb, and delay. You can use Smart CFX to create drops, build-ups, and transitions. The DDJ-FLX4 makes it simple if you’re keen to MC or sing over the top of your sets because it mixes the audio for you. So, you can connect the controller to a single device and hear the sound of your mix together with the sound from the microphone as long as you don’t have a Bluetooth® device connected. This also makes the DDJ-FLX4 an ideal choice if you’d like to live-stream your sets because you can do it all from one device.

In general, while the Pioneer DJ DDJ FLX4 isn’t a perfect or “pro-made” DJ controller, it is an incredibly useful and capable DJ controller that considerably builds off of everything that the DDJ-400 put in place. This, as a result, has created a DJ controller setup with 2 channel faders that will be very familiar to the previous DJ controller, allowing most people that plan to play or perform using it to have a fair base when starting. Rekordbox offers integration with a number of streaming services including Beatport, Beatsource, TIDAL and Soundcloud Go+ (all paid subscription services). Combine your DDJ-FLX4 with the millions of tunes available across your chosen streaming service(s). Connect any device, anywhere.This is a useful way to combine different EQ effects to create different sound combinations that would otherwise be incredibly difficult to perform on your own.

While diehard purists may hate this issue, I’m of the mindset that anything that makes my job easier as a DJ is automatically a plus. Still, there are certainly some that will argue that this gets rid of any need to learn beat matching, which can certainly be a problem for beginners. Overall Performance What We Like Faders and jog wheels not responding smoothly: This can be caused by dirt or dust on the faders and jog wheels, or a problem with the calibration. If your speakers don’t play any audio, see this helpful guide from Pioneer DJ. Getting started with Rekordbox To the left of the main mixer, you’ll have access to the microphone volume control and headphone controls that feature both Level and Cue/Mix knobs. You’ll also find two buttons for the new Smart CFX, and Smart Fader features, but more on that later in the FX section. To the right of the mixer is the Master level knob, along with an easy-to-use FX strip.The research and development team at Pioneer DJ has changed the signal routing for the microphone on the FLX4 from that used in previous entry level controllers such as the DDJ-400. The mic channel has two settings available within the Rekordbox utility menu - low latency and processed. Choosing the processed option gives you control over the EQ settings and effects including reverb, echo and pitch. This makes the DDJ-FLX4 the perfect choice for those wishing to livestream their sets. Seamless streaming. All in all, you’ll notice that the FLX4 really is just a better version of the DDJ-400. While not quite there in terms of reaching a “professional level” of use, the Pioneer DJ DDJ FLX4 is incredibly user-friendly while also having some impressive sound quality.

USB connections: Two sets USB Type-C port (PC/Mac connection & power supply ×1, Only power supply ×1)It’s not real happiness, it’s a happy pill, but who cares? For fun DJing with a whole variety of music, it works. As a gateway to getting hooked on DJing, we love it. And as with all of these things, in the hands of the talented, it could be a really compelling feature. Even in the hands of the hopeless – well, it beats masking every transition with a bloody airhorn sample.

Taking a look right out of the box, the DDJ FLX4 comes across as a fairly simplistic DJ controller. A good thing is that if you want to use it to livestream, the mic input is routed via the USB to the computer, so that means your mic is audible on streams (or recordings) without needing an extra mixer to incorporate it, as is often the case with DJ gear (and was the case with the DDJ-400).
