    I like the look of it more, it's kind of 2010ish. I also don't need the extra features on the FLX4. I have also read that the build quality seem to be a bit better on the old ones but not sure.

    Just bagged a flx4 a few weeks back after my tank-like denon mc4000 gave up the ghost after 8 years. First impressions out the box was what is this cheap kids toy! The build quality seems well below my denon which cost a similar amount. However, since having a good play around with it I love it, combined with algoriddim DJ pro. Not sure about longevity but for an entry level controller it’s brilliant. Fader is nice and smooth, jog wheels feel great for mixing and scratching. Love the effects and the cross fader effect is a nice bonus.

    • @djkarlthomas

  • @kristianloken8787
    @kristianloken8787 10 місяців тому +4

    Can someone please explain what it means to either use rekordbox or dj serato? Like does the hardware you buy determine the software? And is the FLX4 compatible with both, but the ddj400 only with rekordbox? Is it like a one time use serial number you get with the hardware? How does this software work if you buy the hardware second hand? Hope someone here is able to help😃

    • @djkarlthomas
      @djkarlthomas  10 місяців тому +4

      So rekordbox and serato are DJ software programmes. The controller you buy simply controls this software, much like how a games console has a controller. Some controllers can only control specific software for example the DDJ 400 can only be used with rekordbox whereby the FLX4 can be used with both serato and rekordbox. For Pioneer DJ they got rid of serial numbers some time ago so the software should work when you plug in the device.

      Beide Controller sind Einsteiger Modelle. Der FLX 4 ist nicht wirklich ein Upgrade zum geliebten DDJ400. Der FLX 4 hat einige neue Funktionen aber ist grundsätzlich das gleiche wie der DDJ400. Wenn man etwas professionelles haben möchte sollte man den Pioneer DDJ800 oder DDJ 1000 kaufen.
