    I just received my prime 4 yesterday. This really is an amazing piece of kit. I used to DJ on vinyl and cd's over 20 years ago even played at a club, but stopped because i got married and had 3 kids. Seeing what this unit can do is incredible. I almost feel like it makes it too easy. No more scrambling for a record, spinning to the cue and beat matching with no time to spare. Now I got too much time between tracks because all the heavy lifting work takes seconds. Thanks for the tutorial

      @@digitaldjtips I had a Pioneer XDJ-RX which was great but recently changed to Prime 4. Like most DJ's in 2020 I started live streaming sets and followed one of your other instruction videos and purchased TRS to TRRS adaptor which worked perfectly - but it doesn't on the Prime 4 - I get ambient room sound. On the Prime 4 Owners page on FB it was recommended I get an irig and rca to 1/4 inch jack cable. I tried this attached to the Unbalanced RCA Outputs on the Prime but get low volume - have to turn up master really loud which isn't ideal - so moved my speakers over to booth. But still, the stream sound is average in quality. Any suggestions?!

    Right on. I been spinning vinyl since 1988. I got sl3 when it came out as I prefer vinyl feel. My kids want to learn to dj but the vinyl intimidates them. So I did some research and decided to get this controller. It intimidated me. Lol I had a lot of questions. This video helped me figure out a lot of my questions and now I’m looking forward to going and playing with it and hopefully more effectively teach my kids.

    The standalone controllers and Cdjs buffer the tracks into their internal RAM to play smoothly, it does not directly play through the USB. So whenever you load a track, it immediately grabs it from the USB into its internal RAM and then does not need the USB. Thats also how DJ software functiion on the computer. What would truly be amazing is when you can access yr library and load ANOtHER track without USB plugged in.

    Great Video. During the looping discussion. Billy Jean MJ has an 8 count in. I usually will loop 5,6,7,8 for a four count loop. Makes it easy for getting in to any song. With an exit of something very recognizable. But later in the song I want to RE-loop that same 4 which should be only exited and still callable. How do you bounce back into the Loop again? Because pressing the loop in/out again just starts me another loop.

      Yes, this is a known 'issue' of all Prime all-in-ones. Put the gains bit higher at around 2 o clock and for the rest use normalize as Phil says. Cheers!

    Is there a sampler on this unit or is there a way to do that even without a dedicated button? I recall someone stating there is is none and I saw a unit at Guitar Center and did not see that option as well. Is there a workaround?

    • @digitaldjtips

      No. No standalone DJ gear like this has a sampler. You'd need to add a hardware sampler plugged into the Aux in.

    Phil how are you doing, I am totally blind DJ and I love your videos, I have one question with the prime for, do you have to use the touchscreen, to navigate to your folders and select your tracks, or is there a knob. That you can use on the prime four to go to your different folders and select your tracks to each deck. And can you plug up a. External hard drive at the bottom of the unit, and what hard drive do you prefer, thank you so very much

    Really appreciated, this is great work!
    Quick question: it seems there's no way to change the declared tempo other than x2 or 1/2, correct? (I mean using Engine OS, directly on the Prime 4 - I am using Engine DJ off-line/on the PC to do finer changes to tempo, I understand that part.)
    (Speaking of which, I seem to hit some weird glitch or possibly bug there, am in touch with support, some tracks no issue, but other tracks act strangely and change the tempo before an anchor as soon as it's dropped. Just mentioning in case that rings any bells and anyone has helpful input there as well.)
