Product Information

Audio dropouts: This can be caused by a number of factors, including driver issues, software conflicts, and hardware problems. 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. The Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX4 DJ Controller is made for Rekordbox and is the latest player in our range of Beginner Pioneer DJ Controller Bundles. Featuring effects and design aspects taken from the club-standard setup, we've also paired this with other top pioneer DJ equipment such as HDJ-X headphones and VM series speakers. Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 DJ Controller The sound quality is good enough for the price, the headphones are loud enough for a bus-powered unit.

When you’re ready to share your performances with friends and followers, the DDJ-FLX4 is the perfect piece of kit. Its USB audio output of the sound from the microphone means you don’t need external equipment such as a mixer or soundcard to add your voice to your mix. Instead, the sound from the microphone is output from the controller along with the music, so you can easily share your set via a stream from a single computer. 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. Engage this, and your crossfader becomes an almost foolproof way to blend between any two songs, regardless of genre or BPM. The Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 is a top-of-the-line DJ controller that offers unmatched performance and versatility. It is equipped with highly responsive jog wheels, allowing for precise control and seamless scratching. The 16 performance pads enable DJs to effort For DJs wanting to make use of all that Serato DJ has to offer, the FLX4 has the option to work with the popular platform in addition to Rekordbox, right out of the box!Upgrading the incredibly popular DDJ-400 and DDJ-SB3 controllers, the DDJ-FLX4 offers Rekordbox and Serato users the perfect entry level controller with innovative features and a professional layout, one that’s familiar to anybody who has peered into a DJ booth recently. To help bring everybody closer to the DJ booth, Pioneer DJ have created the new Smart CFX and Smart Fader features. You can use the DJ software rekordbox or Serato DJ Lite for free by connecting your Mac/Windows to the DDJ-FLX4 to complete your DJ setup. And if you want to upgrade to Serato DJ Pro, you can buy a license or subscription for the premium version of the software.

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. Taking a look right out of the box, the DDJ FLX4 comes across as a fairly simplistic DJ controller. 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.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. Each channel also features channel faders that offer just the right amount of resistance. Buttery smooth and ideal for smooth transitioning. The crossfader is looser but not too loose and more than capable for exploring scratching techniques.

Central channel meters highlight your levels, but no Master Level meter exists. Not something I expect from a controller at this price range but still worth mentioning. The central section also features a navigation knob and load buttons at the top for remote access to library browsing. The DDJ-FLX4 is compatible with two popular DJ platforms and can be used with laptops, tablets, and smartphones, offering multiple options for use. Yes, a mobile device: As well as working with Rekordbox and now Serato too (great!) on Windows and Mac, it also works with Rekordbox on iOS and Android (coming early 2023). In the near future, this will work with mobile devices – your phone, your Android tablet, your iPad… If your speakers don’t play any audio, see this helpful guide from Pioneer DJ.
