i upgraded from a DDJSX2 to FLX10. The sx2 definitely gets the job done but holy smokes , the upgrade to the flx10 on the sound output if you have 320kbps quality is a massive difference!
Hi Phil... This is great for Virtual DJ with the Stems option! No longer need to swap eq/stem mode! As for the stems, maybe in the future they will have an update to save a metadata for the stems 'cause if it has to reanalysed each time the tracks for stems.... Not sure about this! Might have lag input with the software if you are in a hot environment, 3 decks mixing with effects and all...
as of now it's not mapped to VDJ, but I'm wondering why it makes you reanalyze your stems files each time. I've analyzed all my tracks for stems for VDJ to use on my SDJ4000, and I don't have to reanalyze my tracks each time.
Just got the FLX10 after upgrading from the Traktor S3, and WOW what a piece of kit! Loving all the features and ease of use. And with your videos means I can make the most of it, which is important for me being a mobile DJ. Thank you 😊 Do you know how I can get rid of the beat clock on the onboard screen? It's only appeared on one and I can't seem to get rid of it.
Would have preferred it standalone. 1800 price range. eventually there will be no Rekordbox and Serato. what self respecting wants to fork out for a new laptop, and a subscription. this is why Denon is still superior for me. i think i read that the Denon dj prime 4+ will have stem software added to the engine, so there's that as well.
The only thing I hate about the FLX10 is just that, it's not a stand alone unit. However, having all of the information on the jog wheels makes it ideal to use with the laptop away from the controller (albeit still connected). But, if they were to add an Nividia graphics card powerful enough to separate stems on the fly for a stand alone unit, the price of the unit will be that of the Opus or even higher.
hey phil,,am using seratodj..i plugged in the flx10 loaded both tracks but it still says not loaded..music plays,pads work but i cant see the waveform on the jogs..it says not loaded but tracks are loaded. what do i do
FLX10 : very good hardware , but poor stems in Rekordbox. IT would be nice that wecould build our own Stems in a open format with an external software and play prepared stems, but not live stems that can't be saved or improved. So i ordered a FLX10 to use it with VirtualDJ 2023 (they will map it for sure)
we tried it over the weekend, It works amazingly well. My friend was running Serato on his laptop, and I was running Rekordbox. Love this dual laptop option, and the fact that it runs so perfect with either software it totally worth the investment.
I missed the live show, but one thing I'd love to know... can you use stems/stems FX on samples? My delivery day is Tuesday... I hope, I didn't realise this was the bank holiday weekend.
Hi, I'm Claudio from Italy, congratulations for your videos which are always very clear and inspiring, I wanted to ask you if you tried scratching on the pioneer flx10 and if you were happy with the jogwheels? because I bought it recently and the jogwheels have a sensitivity problem for scratching, in practice I am forced to apply more pressure than is needed to prevent the jogwheels from continuing to move forward and therefore making me lose the right point of the sample which I use for scratching. If I keep the pressure on the jogwheel too light, it doesn't stop when I would like to stop it or simply bring the sample back to the right point. I'll start by saying that I have always used pioneer without any problems and the last controller I used was the flx6 with which I was able to scratch perfectly without any problem... do you know if there are any tips or utilities that allow you to set the pressure on the jogwheels correctly? Thanks for your attention, Claudio.
@@digitaldjtips please do a sound switch tutorial and include Flx10 dmx for serato users. There’s a ton of private DJs here in the USA and you would be doing a huge service. Thanks for all the lessons !
Having a DDJ RX (yes very old by now) I have the settings on the EQs at isolator. When spinning techno i often isolate the high hats from one track and the kick from another, which at isolator setting works quite well. For me it has almost the same effect as the stems. Do stems give something more as compared to this isolator setting? Thought about upgrading my RX and was in the market for the 1000. Is there any reason why I would pick up the FLX10 instead of a new 1000 (at €1350 from trustworthy sites)?
Thanks for the response. I don't believe they are because today while messing around I changed something and can't figure out how to change it back lol@@digitaldjtips
@@digitaldjtips I guess I was luck, I order it from Guitar Center, California USA, and it was delivered to me the very next day. NO, I did not pay extra for next day delivery.
I think this controller is a mockery! A DDJ 1000 embellished... 600 euros more just to have the stems, which by the way I have heard the rekordbox ones and they are of very bad quality! Anything else? Ah yes the automix which is a scandal for a controller, if you want to automix and not DJ you just need a laptop you don't need a 1600 euro controller. In conclusion, a controller that adds almost nothing to the already excellent DDJ 1000, ah no that's right, it adds 600 euros to the list price.
If you were in a DDJ-200/400 etc this would be a worthy (and exciting) upgrade. I don’t get the sense that Pioneer is aiming this product at the DDJ-1000 user base, but for the mobile DJ, this looks to be a solid piece of equipment for the money/feature set.
You're not a real DJ if you use the sync button. You're not a real DJ if you have never used DAT. You're not a real DJ if you use anything but records. You're not a real DJ if you use stems. You're not a real DJ if you use mix points. You're not a real DJ if you do weddings or company events. How about we don't spread hate and just let people have fun? 🌈
@@robertschnobert9090 ah ah ah bla bla bla... 🤣 definitely you are not a real DJ if you let the software mixing for you! Call yourself in another way bro but not a DJ... 😜❤
"they want it to work on as many computers as possible." Note that system requirements for Rekordbox track separation is 16GB RAM. Not sure how to reconcile their statement with the reality of their system requirements.

40:45 Thank you! This is exactly what I wanted to hear!! I can't afford a 2cdj and mixer setup so this is the perfect upgradeable option for me! ❤
Glad I could help!
Have a good run Phil!!
Thanks - I did. Was a lovely evening along the beach!

Yes, hold down Shift on the controller and press either of the arrow keys underneath the word "Page" (top right of pads on each deck).
@Digital DJ Tips Thank you I shall give that ago 😀
Nice marathon 🏃
Thanks ✌

Thanks David! Although I doubt very much Denon will add stems to any standalone, any time soon.
Stems are not possible anytime soon in standalone on the fly use, and you would hate how much it'll cost if it was
Theres no subscription buddy

Mine arrives mid May. I sold my 1000 srt months ago and bought an xdj xz. I sold the xz not long ago and am ready for my Flx10.
Bet you can't wait, Omar!
Picked mine up in store yesterday. UK
great review
Thanks

You're right they will - it works out of the box with Serato too, who recently improved their already pretty good stems once more.
24:14 I like the blacked out pads too. I think I’ll get some black vinyl stickers for my DDJ-RX
Yeah, they do look good! Can't remember if they were the same on the 1000, I don't think so from memory though.
The black center should help hide excessive fingerprint blemishes from long-term use... This might have been an issue on my SX and SX2. 😁
I know I am kind of late with my comments but I'm watching the videos and they are very helpful...... I should mines the last week in febuary👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Can you demo the two USB connections for laptops? It looks like it's great for back-to-back DJ stuff 🌈

Don't think so unless you load them to a deck
Is it possible to map the “stems” to the EQ on a previous DDJ controller? (I own the DDJ-800)
Yes, it's easy, all the controls are in the Midi mapping section of the software.

It is always going to be down to getting used to it/personal taste. Steve, our scratch tutor, is happy using the FLX10 though.
Does the 2nd bank keyboard effect work on serato ? I can’t seem to get it to work. Not sure if that’s only a rekordbox option.
Hi, wondering if the preamps for the mics are better? Or is it still better to run it to an external mixer like yamaha mg06?
Good question! They say all audio is improved, but we haven't checked the mics.
How do I download the drivers for Serato? It’s been very difficult.
Excellent overview. Is the Mac M1 powerful enough to analyze STEMS on the spot for Serato?
Yes
@@digitaldjtips thanks
Question: how do I put my cross fader on as the in and out instead of the sliders? I always use the fader as my switch out. Thanks for the help.
Use the crossfader assign feature to turn the crossfader on/off and assign channels.
Hi, would you recommend this FLX10 used with a laptop over a XDJ Rx3 ? I really like the stems function so its really peaking my interest over the RX3
Definitely, in that case.

Does the flx 10 activate serato scratch banks?
can you use
XDJ 1000s with it
@22:32 .. What speaker stands are you using here?
Hi mate noticed your Circuit Tracks do you think you can plug it into the flx10 to play samples ?
No reason why not
Does this controller work with djay pro algorithm
Yes, not sure how well, Algoriddim has a compatibility page on its website.
I’m your opinion which one is better pioneer FLX 10 or the REV 7?
Both very different
I bought the REV7 I still haven’t opened it. now Im having second thoughts on exchanging it for the FLX10. This is my first time using a controller.
Can loops be saved on pad keys
Having a DDJ RX (yes very old by now) I have the settings on the EQs at isolator. When spinning techno i often isolate the high hats from one track and the kick from another, which at isolator setting works quite well. For me it has almost the same effect as the stems.

Stems are a whole new ball game, but if you're getting what you need for DJing techno with isolator EQs, then all good!
Hi Phil, I cannot figure out how to change the FX I'd like to the FX pads. Can you help? (Serato Pro)
I believe the FX pads are fixed in Serato DJ Pro
Thanks for the response. I don't believe they are because today while messing around I changed something and can't figure out how to change it back lol@@digitaldjtips
How you get two lop tops to work on the flx10
Not sure what you're asking here, just plug them both in...you can switch between them on the channels.
What is the name of the track used to demo the stems feature?
i want to know as well😊
Does the FLX10 automatically activate Rekordbox Premium? 🌈
9:15 oh, you just mentioned it. thanks! 🌈
will the DJ DDJ FLX 10 work with any version of windows or is it only working with windows 10...??
Not sure sorry, check rekordbox website
Flx10 and xdj xz can compare with each other
In my humble opinion, Rekordbox needs to pre-analyze and store stems at a higher quality.
We agree
Hi, guy's
Stems seems like a bodge in Rekordbox instead of thought about properly. I'll stick with Serato thanks where its done properly.
I am sure they thought about it pretty hard!
It's software, it will get better with every update.
@@IanDeVos it already is in Serato 🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@61barrackroad yes but I hate using Serato. It's one feature that's better...
@@IanDeVos and the fact its far more stable than Rekordbox thats 2 things right off the bat
Please i need help working my flx10 with serato i been here for hours now
You'll need to give us more of a clue what you need help with that that!
Make sure to upgrade to Serato 3.4, and also update the firmware on the FLX10 to 11. It's usually shipped with firmware version 10.
HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT FOR DELIVERY? A YEAR OR TWO... UNTIL THEY FIX THEIR DELIVERIES I WILL NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM
You're right there, as you wouldn't be able to!
@@digitaldjtips I guess I was luck, I order it from Guitar Center, California USA, and it was delivered to me the very next day. NO, I did not pay extra for next day delivery.
How do the stems on here match up with DJAY pro?
They sound about the same right now, ie not as good as the market leaders VDJ and Serato.
Rane 4 is the future of controllers ..flx10 is the same old 1000srt with stems
Thanks for your thoughts.
How well does the DDJ-1000 decksaver fit over the FLX10, as their controls are very similar and dimensions are a hair larger?
Not sure, we don't have one here, but they are engineered very precisely, so I'd guess they'll make a new one for the FLX10.
@@digitaldjtips I found another review that put them both side by side. The FLX10 is about an inch longer.
So the analysis of stems is a temporary file I guess?
Looks like it
