[@luisdelvalle1965]

Great course. I've got the FLX6 in the rehearsal studio , but I've bought the FLX4 for the home studio. Love what you've put together in this video. BTW, no offence Phil, but you need to dispose of that beard. It looks like you've been hibernating in the woods over Winter, playing tunes all day with the Squirrels and the Badgers as your only audience. PS. When are you going to put up a decent DJ course on UDEMY? Thanks again. Luis (DJ LuDog)

There was nothing like this when i started out, i just winged it, if it sounds right it was right, this video would of been a god send back in the day, i learned to beat match on vinyl so going to controller was easy just thee amount of buttons confused me lol, but with practise you get there..
