I bought a SR2 three months ago, and this would've been more in my budget, but I'm glad I didn't fall for this. The only thing I regret not getting was a moving LCD in the jog wheels, but the output options, unlocking serato, and DVS support were bigger benefits to me, RGB pads/jogs too.
I like the innovation of all.
Great information
Always fun watching your videos but Pioneer should do the same thing to this unit as you did with the packaging at the beginning of the unboxing.
Put a nice external mixer behind it u got cool little system.
I think the word you're looking for is called "soft touch" lol... Great content as always
Great review, only one so far without opinions lol.
Thank's 👍
Why did the jog wheels sound so terrible? They sounded like they where clicking or something
Because they are made of plastic crap 🤣
Love hand god flx6 ❤❤❤
How is the build quality? They say it has a cheap, plasticky feel and wobbly sliders.
Yup it does I had it but returned it
Why the tempo pitch is so short?😧 it could be a really useful controller, but when i set tempo and move 1mm and speed jump 1,3 bpm... thats suxx.... my problem is with my traktor kontrol s2 mk3.... 😞😔
Very interested in this
good shit
Nice
What a brilliant controller I'm just a bit unsure with the fact that all of its power is coming from the laptop
Being solely bus powered is a consideration for some who are connecting numerous other devices to their laptop, in those cases it's worth getting an externally powered USB hub to provide sufficient power for all the connected devices. However, the FLX6 is more than capable of running on bus power alone :)
@matteos2008 It's best to use speakers with any DJ gear. However, because it's an internal mode controller, both Serato and Rekordbox allow you to play the music from your laptop speakers.
I'm trying to decide which controller to buy, I like almost everything about the SR2 better, but those huge jog wheels are making my decision way harder than it should be lol.
had the same xD
Still went for the flx6 just for the jogwheels, and tbh for the 4 channel and the jog cutter and just to see how the merge fx works, and so far i love the controller
@@dr.joint4204 hows it going now?
@@leopold7269 Oh man, i littelry think this is the best controller to start, withh the ddj-400 i could mix for about 15 or 30 minutes, but this machine is one killer, litterly 2 hours of mixxing and even feel like im a dj xD
Littlerly, the mixxes that drops idk if it comes from the controller, or just practice but man, even my neighbours think it is madness LOL
@@leopold7269 One time, im gonna drop a mix on the tube for sure, but for now practice till my life comes down😂😂😂🔥 🔥 🔥
@@dr.joint4204 how does it sound?
COOOOOooool
🔥 🔥 🔥
It's so funny to me how some people hate soooo hard on some features...just don't buy the thing then....that's why there's many different controllers/decks out there with something for everyone 🤔.
Nice....
Can you load a song on the deck that’s in scratch mode instead of a scratch sample?
Who's the best between this and the old denon mcx 8000 for the beginner?
Thts a dumb question
Wow love that
How much is the price plz
Does it feel plasticity? Seen a few review saying the build quality isn't great
Who needs build quality when you have these lots of functions...
Trying to figure out why I can't nudge the jog wheels to speed or slow down. Completely unresponsive. Thought I would downgrade from an RX2 and I'm now having second thoughts.
Am form Jamaica I really like this controller
Top DDJ- FLX6💿🎹💿👍😎🎧
naughty looking machine
Do you know if this a promo it’s a pretty good deal, cheers
How do u add four channels
On rekordbox
NOICE
Is bigger really better?
Can this work with iPad
Yes, it is supported by Algoriddim's djay app. It is connected like the methods shown in this video: czcams.com/video/ELprrEfpMbU/video.html
Does the equipment come with rekordbox software? Or do I have to purchase myself
Hy Luís, i’m from Brazil, and I have one and the flx6 unlocks rekordbox and serato pro too.
No XLR ? whats this???? denon big better maybe
😍🙏♥️
Pioneer took all their spare parts and made a cheap controller everything on that board is from a previous controller except the merge knob not a bad deal if your staying at home with it Serato software comes with it also 599 not bad.
I think my guy who dose these vids is sponsored by pioneer or is a big fan boy... please note his top, and to compare this product to a cdj 3000 🤔🤣🤣
So pioneer finally managed to make a device to DJ that takes literally everything out of the art of DJing........ :p
Would a SDJ-50x speaker be compatible with these decks?
Absolutely, we'd recommend an RCA to XLR cable to connect the FLX6 to them.
A cable like this: www.getinthemix.com/accessories/cables-connectors/stagg-stc060cmxm-2x-male-xlr-to-2x-rca-phono-twin-lead.htm
usb powered?.. no xlr's.. 4 channels biut no way to add more sources? .but .its shinny ..
The 4 channels are meant for mixing the 4 decks in the DJ software. Something you cannot do on the DDJ-400 or easily do on the DDJ-SB3. This unit isn't meant for the professional gigging DJ who needs balanced outputs. It's for the beginner or hobbyist that might be using a DDJ-400 or SB3, but want to learn how to mix 4 decks on a 4 channel surface along with CDJ sized jog wheels, without spending $1200 or more to get there.
@@priyonjoni Makes sense.
I likeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Does it have Rekordbox license available inside the box???
No license key needed with this controller, it will plug and play with both Rekordbox and Serato without a subscription :)
Rekordbox 6 doesn't use liscense keys anymore
@@GetintheMix well Im really sold on this now.

Ddj flx6 vs ddj 1000 vs ddj 800. Who Wind?
1000
The DDJ-1000 and DDJ-800 are a step above this controller in terms of build and features, and as such command a higher price point. If you want a 4-channel controller and some unique features at about half the price of the 1000, the FLX6 is a great way to go.
If 4-channels is not so important and you don't mind paying a bit extra, the DDJ-800 is a solid pick to get the club-standard feel feature set, and the standalone mixer functionality.
@@DJSCOUSE I guess the FLX6 is making the mixing easier with the merge fx function. Also you can do lots of stuff with the scratch cutter function.
@@rept1le I have owned the 1000 n flx6 6 is gd but 1000 is alot better I am a pro thou lol
@@DJSCOUSE would you recommend it to someone who has intermediate knowledge of mixing?. Or would you get the 800 or 1000 cause of the xlrs
I want to eat that😋
oppa gangam style
Comes with a cable! Take my wallet!
Price?£££££
I think they should have left that jog cutter off it. It’s made it seem tacky, the merge Fx ain’t such a bad idea if used sparingly, just the same as any FX really. But if they should have swapped that jog cutter out and done something else. It’s made it seem so toy like, especially when they’ve done well with 4 channels and big jogs. It could have been so much better without it.
What would of you preferred?
@@lachie4017 maybe screen display on jogs
@@Nono-mm6zs I've played on ddj 1000s and the tiny little screen on jog wheels does nothing
i wish you could midi map it to something more useful, like master tempo or quantize
Satain
putting just one button to switch between channels for bringing fx is kinda nonsense...
In my opinion if i could give it a price this one i would it put it maybe at 450 dolars 600 dolars is a bit too much in my opinión for that i would rather spend a bit more and buy the 800 is way better
:( np XLRs out?
I rather buy a djm 600 n 2 cdjs 1000 mk3
And just use my shitty akia dvs mixer to controll it.
Does anyone actually have one of these things? I broke my 1000 and it looks like this is the only option I can actually get my hands on. I would rather get a pair of 3000's and a mixer, but no one has anything in stock. I bought a 400 just so I could have something to use, but its a joke.
I have the flx6, have fun with it, but it’s not perfect of course. Until I make my choices, it’s fine. I know rekordbox well and now it allows me to discover Serato, which I also like a lot finally. Also it’s very light, and I can use it everywhere i want. But not sure it can be a final choice. Also if I break it, it’s not that bad. But for now it’s okay, it’s good plastic !!
Nah, ill just go with the Numark NVll.
I LIKE THIS CONTROLLER BUT I DONT LIKE WITH 4 CHANEL,IT MUCH BETTER WITH 2 CHANEL,FOR WHAT IM DOING WITH THIS I PREFER 2 CHANEL,CAN MAKE THIS CONTROLER WITH 2 CHANEL,I DONT NEED 4 CHANEL,IF THIS CONTROLER IT MAKES WITH 2 CHANEL DEFINITLY I WILL BUY,WITH 4 CHANEL ......NEEE
Nice looking unit but I think I'll stick to my technics that's djing to me not all this expensive crap that you probably won't use. I have a basic controller I don't use half the stuff
I use technics, but I keep getting invited to do guest mixes on radio where I can’t log around 1210 and an S9, also there’s limited space so this maybe an option for on the go.
Why expensive? Two technics and a mixer are like four times the price of this unit and you only got two decks instead of 4. If something is expensive, it is vinyl setups, not controllers.
@@CaptainUncreative technics are the best decks in the bizzness this is why most dj use these pioneer are the best fur controllers. You get what u psy for and for you're info it's 2 platters and a mixer not 4
@@djflintstone2816 You didn't answer my question at all?! Also what is your last sentence supposed to mean? The flx has, in fact, 4 channels, which is twice as much as you would get with two technics.
@@CaptainUncreative you get what u pay for. Most mixers have multiple outputs. Like I said technics is best decks. As for this yeah it's OK I have a unit that has mp3 cd deck dj deck inputs and 2 hard drive for music. Plus inputs for mixers and amps. I'm not saying the pioneer is crap pioneer do great kits just not my thing we all have preferences
No phono or line inputs killed it off for me... Nah!
Yea they definitely could of thrown that in hooking a pair of tables up would of been great
If you're a CDJ user, you can connect CDJs in HID mode with the FLX6 to the laptop, and set it to control decks 3 and 4. HID mode doesn't require an audio input.
I bought a used ddj-1000 instead this. The ddj-1000 is much more durable than flx6.
the only thing i dislike about controllers is now anyone can be a dj...not cool. button pushers. auto sync. blah blah blah. now with that said i came from the tech1200 era and i had to lug mad crates around...back breaking. but thats when djing was real in my opinion. now i do use a controller now " denon prime 4" i love it makes it easier to lug my music around. so i guess i came to be a button pusher...grrrrrrrrrrrrr! all in all what drives me nuts is what took me sooo long to learn now you can do by pressing a button. the artform is lost. buh bye technique hello technology.
Agreed mate. I've always been a vinyl mainly dj. Moved onto DVS. And have just bought the s4 mk3 from traktor. Your right for the newbies its easier to learn but us "real" djs it can just free up our time with beat matching to get more creative. Throw samples and accapellas and whatnot. And now I can take 1000 tracks to a night instead of 50.
@@cruxdnb "djs it can just free up our time with beat matching to get more creative" - this is the point!
then use vinyl instead of denon prime 4.
merge fx is such a gimmic lmao, u will literally never use that shit
its junk..period
Its just jog wheels nothing else
It's the first entry/intermediate level 4 channel, and features Sample Scratch (Rekordbox) and Scratch Bank (Serato). A feature that was exclusive to DJM-S11 mixer when used with Serato DJ Pro.
One of the worst controllers ever. Sounds shit.
Am form Jamaica I really like this controller

Do not get this. The DDJ 1000 shits all over this.
