Honestly I am super impressed by the functionality in just an app 🤯 For beginner DJs this is a blessing, it makes the start so much easier and more intuitive. For advanced DJs at first I thought it will only bring the perk of mobility BUT then you explained the phone features. It is simply awesome that I now can prepare or make some last minute adjustments on the phone and actually connect the phone to the CDJs, no more need to bring a bulky laptop and no way to forget an USB anymore! 🔥🔥
I see how this is marketed for beginners but i have been djing for 10 years mainly just for fun these days, This is awesome, now I can buy a flx4 and a jbl charge 4 and have a setup i can take to the beach and not worry about messing up my laptop or having a power connection.
If they expand the supported controllers beyond flx4 will be great. Imagine hooking up ddj 1000 or flx10 to this and make a fully standalone setup on a budget
Pioneer stuff are not really on a budget lol… you have a laptop for less that runs Rekordbox than a Pioneer product :D but the support for all Rekordbox controllers would make sense and would be great indeed
Id like to know this too. I use my ipad with midi piano connected to the usb to powered lighting adaptor. If i could do same with Rekordbox I can leave the expensive laptop at home.
Lol I think it's because it's relatable to people like myself who have just got into dj-ing and watch these tutorials... Aren't you all a bit too experienced for these anyway? Lol
@@coreon7 This is an introduction of a possibly game-changing application. Professionals use Tablets all the time with DVS... Your comment is completely off topic
4:25 does anyone know when Beatport Streaming support is coming to the iOS Rekorbox app and/or if it has been officially announced as coming as of yet?
I don’t think it will pioneer is not really popular for making new innovations they have only the big plus that every club owns a pair of cdjs if it comes to features per price denon is should be the leader…
My Tidal playlists are not showing. Anyone else? Maybe I have a setting wrong or it’s a permissions thing? Also thinking it’s because I have too many playlists and the app is having a hard time loading any of them?
I was since it was announced really looking forward to using this with Beatport link on my DDJ-800 to give my always overheating MBP a break. Hopefully they add compatibility in the future but I'm sure that's far from likely.
You’re not wrong, it took a long time…but to be fair they had to saturate the market with $2K plus CDJs and Mixers as long as people would tolerate it 😂😂😂
The DDJ400 has no bluetooth and also only one USB-Port. The only way would be a powered hub, since a iPad or iPhone can't deliver enough energy. Maybe they just want to keep it as simple as possible. Btw. i just sold my used DDJ400 for 300$ and bought the FLX4 for about 320$.
Dont use beatport, that site sucks so bad. Bandcamp is the way to go, every DJ will tell you that. Fairer pay, unlimited redownloads, you can choose data formats etc...
If Pioneer would make this iPad app work like how a screen of an CDJ-2000NXS2 or 3000 or RX2/3 works while pressing a button that the whole screen changes into that function and when you press back it comes to the main screen again that would be awesome. Plus I don't understand why they only made it for the FLX4... I have an RX3 and an FLX10 now. FLX10 came later then the 4. I'm a person who really is on 50/50 now on what gear to bring to the venue's for playing. But if a great iPad app works on the FLX10 that would be an major upgrade.
This app combined with a FLX4 in some ways mimics the Omnis Duo or Denon Prime Go, with more utility and cheaper. I plan to test out a full mobile setup with this and a Soundboks gen3.
I want to say thank you for this tutorial.for my experience it's note for a beginner DJ it's the future of DJing when I started it was vinyl and now the best option for me is to come with the cell phone 250 gb collections and library. There's no need for new equipment at all. The next generations of DJ controllers Will be only touch surface scream with the lair preference or any software that's the DJ prefer
When you plug it into a CDJ or Xdj, where did you plug it into. It’s not visible in the video, but a definitely not the usb drive slot at the top left?
I have to say I'm pretty annoyed that they don't have access to memory cues in the new mode...and even more frustrating is that the countdown is to the analyzed phrase change rather than the memory cue you make.
@Crossfader Great video Jamie! Do you know if it is possible to assign multiple colors to one track? I have a system where tracks could be used for a couple of playlists and I would like to assign at least 2 or 3. I was wondering if there is some type of work around. Thanks again.
Hey guys, cool video, much appreciated 👍🏻😎💯🔥 Quick question my friend, do I need to either upgrade Rekordbox DJ, or Algoriddim DJay apps, when trying to set up, connect, & also utilize the app for all the quirks?? Or do I only need to download these mobile DJ apps, & then everything is just available for free on these mobile DJ apps?? Thanx man,respex 👍🏻😎💯🙏🏻🔥🎵
New Android version is available now. I've just downloaded it from the Play Store. I'm not sure about FLX6 though, is it a bit complicated to use on a tiny phone's screen?
The fact you have each pad FX option available is great, but you can't add more than one of the same or rearrange.... kind of BS when I can do that for free on my laptop with the FLX4, but not the phone with the same FLX4
is connecting to macbook still through wifi ? i have had so many issues with using wifi when i travel to be able to sync from laptop to phone . Wish they made it where you could use usb to connect
is it also posible to midi map other device knobs through a hub or docking station for knob that are not mapped on my DDJ FLX4 like slip or scratch on off ?
Hey there, Can somebody explain how the Audio output will function so that I can hear my mixing before it is heard on the speakers? Do I need extra gear for that?
Believing me I using with ddj 400 and earlier version of Rekordbox and this for me very good and I'm getting along with this I don't require stems and more things in the new version of Rekordbox and also I think that the ddj 400 remaining very good dj controller
Please, does anyone know how I set the jog wheel to CDJ mode on the iPad? On Rekordbox on the computer I created a shortcut to switch between vinyl mode and cdj mode, but on the iPad I didn't find any option. Can someone help me?
Whats crazy to me is how you cant view the genre in the file browser when going through your own collection. You can't see this in WeDJ either. Seems like a basic need - insane it's missing in both programs.
I just got the flx10, if I had the xz could I use this app with It and not need a laptop at all to prepare sets with rekordbox? I wanna sell my laptop 💻 thx
Tried this on my flx 4 this morning , couldnt get cues to work when the headphones were plugged into the flx 4 . Was also disappointing that there were paid upgrades to make it work properly . Also was hoping my phone would power it for some limited portability but it needs a usb charger with my samsung s22 so i might as well just use my laptop . Seems piontless unfortunately . Gutted as it could of been great
so far, it looks pretty on par with what I expected. I am mostly disappointed by the UI, i understand pads need to be large for interaction purposes, but I don't think they used the screen real estate as best as they could on the ipad. it would be cool in the future if the interface was more customizable. it just doesnt look as cool and concise as its computer counterparts, given the limitations of mobile devices, but ios and ipados are getting increasingly more powerful and capable.
How do I get the library sync to work? I currently use on windows and Ipad Air (5th gen) and have the creative plan but nothing syncs into my ipad. All the songs are like faded out and doesnt allow to me load anything
stupid question maybe...and maybe the wrong place but i got a ddj-flx4 using it with rekordbox on ipad....how do i connect them, as just over ipad it sucks power off....do i need an adapter for the power???
You say at 3:55 you can connect via Bluetooth to the DDJ 200 or 400, but the 400 is not listed in the connectivity list at the end. Can the 400 connect to the app with Bluetooth?
theres definitely no bluetooth technology inside the ddj400 but im hoping you can still connect via cable. i have a ddj 400 too and this would make my life so easy
When using my FLX-4 and the new app via Bluetooth on iPhone , output audio is only possible on iPhone? My speakers connected with the rca connections on FLX-4 won't work. Connecting another bluetooth speaker to my iPhone gives a slight delay...
Have downloaded/updated android version, works okay, but don't have a flx-4 to test on, only a 200 which doesn't connect via BT atleast(haven't got otg cable yet). Shame about them charging a mortgage to unlock effects, should be hardware unlock atleast for the flx 4. Think I'll stick to my algorithm app for now, funny enough it's more usable than there own WeDJ app.
Update: does work via an otg adapter, however performance pads only good for cue points(to be fair that's a hardware letdown, although on the desktop version you can select fx pads) and the lag on the cue points is very strong. Also worth noting there doesn't seem to be an option to change EQ from classic to full kill, although I wouldn't be surprised if this was included in the $6 p/w paid bundle, still can't get my head around why this is so expensive given it's never going to be used in paid gig as a primary source. Would expect premium bug fixes and to actually speak to someone from AlphaTheta corp for that price

Hello, thanks for the vídeo. I’m having troubles synching Tidal playlist, any suggestions?
Honestly I am super impressed by the functionality in just an app 🤯 For beginner DJs this is a blessing, it makes the start so much easier and more intuitive. For advanced DJs at first I thought it will only bring the perk of mobility BUT then you explained the phone features. It is simply awesome that I now can prepare or make some last minute adjustments on the phone and actually connect the phone to the CDJs, no more need to bring a bulky laptop and no way to forget an USB anymore! 🔥🔥
I think Pioneer should make the app free with no ads for people that bought the actual Pioneer hardware.
Yes! I already paid for the hardware unlocks for rekordbox. I'm not paying twice...
I see how this is marketed for beginners but i have been djing for 10 years mainly just for fun these days, This is awesome, now I can buy a flx4 and a jbl charge 4 and have a setup i can take to the beach and not worry about messing up my laptop or having a power connection.
If they expand the supported controllers beyond flx4 will be great. Imagine hooking up ddj 1000 or flx10 to this and make a fully standalone setup on a budget
There's no word from Pioneer if they will ever support more controllers. I don't think they will. 🌈
Make available for Flx10 please
Sure they will. Why would they spend as much as it takes to create such an app and limit it to one controller?
Pioneer stuff are not really on a budget lol… you have a laptop for less that runs Rekordbox than a Pioneer product :D but the support for all Rekordbox controllers would make sense and would be great indeed
They should 👍🏻🙏🏻
This is actually crazy for building sets while away from home 😮🔥
Finally!!!! I bought my FLX4 just for this. I am a bit annoyed that it is not free for those who bought the controller .... Pioneeerrrrr....
My guess is Rekordbox see an opportunity to make some bux
@@carlmsx9808 😜😜😜
Does it work connected to a DDJ400 via a USB cable and lightning adapter??
Id like to know this too. I use my ipad with midi piano connected to the usb to powered lighting adaptor. If i could do same with Rekordbox I can leave the expensive laptop at home.
How dissappointing. Why not use it with other controllers other than the flx4??
And yet he’s very very impressed he said…
Lol I think it's because it's relatable to people like myself who have just got into dj-ing and watch these tutorials...
Aren't you all a bit too experienced for these anyway? Lol
@@coreon7 This is an introduction of a possibly game-changing application. Professionals use Tablets all the time with DVS... Your comment is completely off topic
@@MrKoki and I also enjoyed the video ;)
Crossfader make their money by selling DJ courses...who buys DJ courses and what kit would they use? Make sense now?
It does not support the DDJ-200 I tried it.
No, it doesn’t. What a ridiculous situation.
4:25 does anyone know when Beatport Streaming support is coming to the iOS Rekorbox app and/or if it has been officially announced as coming as of yet?
I hoped you could say more about paid features and limitations.
If it uses the music on your phone but now days you can only have Apple Music or Spotify how does it work? Or did I miss it
Algoriddim Djay Pro is still better overall
This will evolve much faster though
I don’t think it will pioneer is not really popular for making new innovations they have only the big plus that every club owns a pair of cdjs if it comes to features per price denon is should be the leader…
I just got, it doesn’t work! It doesn’t load songs!! I’m getting my money back!
@@bboymac84 inwant my money back too it doesn’t work with today like it says it does. Djay is still killer and unbeatable so far
@@Traumadj what a rip off!!
Can you use the app to analyse songs and export on to a USB to get rid of the need for a laptop altogether?
My Tidal playlists are not showing. Anyone else? Maybe I have a setting wrong or it’s a permissions thing?
Also thinking it’s because I have too many playlists and the app is having a hard time loading any of them?
I just wanna know how to import songs on the mobile app pls
I was since it was announced really looking forward to using this with Beatport link on my DDJ-800 to give my always overheating MBP a break. Hopefully they add compatibility in the future but I'm sure that's far from likely.
Only 12 years after Algoriddim Dj was released 🤣🤣
Seriously. I've been loving djay for a few years. Not sure how this app is #1.
You’re not wrong, it took a long time…but to be fair they had to saturate the market with $2K plus CDJs and Mixers as long as people would tolerate it 😂😂😂
Not supporting the DDJ400 in any way is yet another F up from Pioneer in their recent releases...
that’s how their force you to buy the flx4
The DDJ400 has no bluetooth and also only one USB-Port. The only way would be a powered hub, since a iPad or iPhone can't deliver enough energy. Maybe they just want to keep it as simple as possible. Btw. i just sold my used DDJ400 for 300$ and bought the FLX4 for about 320$.
True, the DDJ400 already works with algorithm djay on ipad
Will compatibility be added for the other FLX controllers? (Primarily the FLX10)?
very detail in review. but i'll wait for the track seperation feature to decide whether i should migrate. Awesome work Crossfader!
not possible with the ddj1000/flx10?
wondering if other Rekordbox controllers will be supported like the FLX-GT6 or the RR
> It's compatible with my FLX4 😍
> I use Beatport as my track source 💀
It's a no for me (beginner level) until they fix that.
Dont use beatport, that site sucks so bad. Bandcamp is the way to go, every DJ will tell you that. Fairer pay, unlimited redownloads, you can choose data formats etc...
How on earth have they not included it?! Just wasted 2 hours trying to download tracks and find a workaround.
If Pioneer would make this iPad app work like how a screen of an CDJ-2000NXS2 or 3000 or RX2/3 works while pressing a button that the whole screen changes into that function and when you press back it comes to the main screen again that would be awesome.

Can sync with DDJ-1000 ??
Congrats for this well explained video! Just a question how can import tracks into the app? Do I need a paid subscription? Thanks in advance
Is the app compatible with DDJ1000? Doesn’t seem to be and can’t seem to find any documentation supporting that it will integrate with the ddj1000???
This app combined with a FLX4 in some ways mimics the Omnis Duo or Denon Prime Go, with more utility and cheaper. I plan to test out a full mobile setup with this and a Soundboks gen3.
Loving the video as usual. I’m currently a 21 handicap but would really like to be somewhere below 18 by the end of this year. 🤞
What’s a 21 handicap?
When do we get it for Android
Really wanna know this otherwise its useless to me
All we have is that it's coming soon. They want to make sure it's of the same level as the iOS version.
I hope they'll add support for DDJ-200 soon, It doesn't work right now. I find this as a very nice backup option, DDJ-200 + iPhone.
I want to say thank you for this tutorial.for my experience it's note for a beginner DJ it's the future of DJing when I started it was vinyl and now the best option for me is to come with the cell phone 250 gb collections and library.

can I plug in my SSD drive with my library and prepare hot cues and playlists on the SSD?
I have an Android (samsung) tablet. I copy the library to a Micro Sd card and pop it in.
When you plug it into a CDJ or Xdj, where did you plug it into. It’s not visible in the video, but a definitely not the usb drive slot at the top left?
I have to say I'm pretty annoyed that they don't have access to memory cues in the new mode...and even more frustrating is that the countdown is to the analyzed phrase change rather than the memory cue you make.
How does this compare to algoriddim djay pro?
Why is nobody talking about the lack of pre-cueing unless you split the sound in mono?
@Crossfader Great video Jamie! Do you know if it is possible to assign multiple colors to one track? I have a system where tracks could be used for a couple of playlists and I would like to assign at least 2 or 3. I was wondering if there is some type of work around. Thanks again.
