Coming from a sb3 to this and OMG- I feel like my brain is gonna explode. I’ve gotta take One section at a time. It’s like driving a completely different car. Grateful for this video-
@@digitaldjtipsI Iove it!! Saving up to get this controller was one of the best decisions and I’m really having a great time creating and playing music. It also helped with moving to a cdj.
Phil, I just want to thank you for all that you do. You seem like a truly genuine, caring individual, which is rare in the world these days. We ALL appreciate you. Cheers from across the pond in Virginia in the States!
DDJT once again supplying the goods that matter! 'Above and beyond' are not words in their vocabulary, they just do it! What a great manual Phil, thank you!
I'm barely two minutes in, and I already LOVE your vibe ! I get that this is a fairly recent video, and that the controller doesn't necessarly appeal to everyone, but that view/likes ratio feels so damn wrong ... Anyways, jumping back in, but without seeing a single bit more, I know this is hard work and a lot of time that you spent, just for us to access knowledge for FREE. Thank you so much !!
Just wanted to say how amazing it is that this video is free and in full on youtube. I've been watching it because I'm thinking about upgrading my FLX-4 to an FLX-10, and the sheer amount of knowledge here is astounding to the point it's taught me things that my FLX-4 can also do that none of the crossfader tutorials covered.
I'm so glad I chose the FLX10 after upgrading from the SRT 1000. This video was super helpful for refreshing everything and understanding all the features. Thanks for breaking it all down so clearly and putting this together!
@@TheAftermath1987 I had my FLX4 for a little over a year before upgrading and still holding onto it for now as a more portable option. FLX10 has been great for getting me ready for club gear as the layout is very similar, I went from FLX10 to using CDJs with no real issues!
Same here @svenskavapes8558! Dj'd with vinyl in the 80's 90's but stopped. Never laid my hands on a CDJ. This is my first controller. Feel pretty lucky that I picked such a great unit. I'd be lost without such an in-depth video. Thanks very much, Phil! Enjoy @svenskavapes8558!
Fantastic overview, THANK YOU! I just upgraded to a FLX-10 coming from a Prime Go and this gave me everything I needed to understand the new gear and jump in!
I recently upgraded from a DDJ RR I've had for almost a decade to a FLX 10 and I've learned quiet some hidden features with your video. Some might already have been possible in the past over rekordbox itself but I never knew/realized some features where there or I didn't know how to use them. Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
Just when I thought it was impossible to love you more, you come out with EXACTLY what I needed!! I have bought 2 courses from you guys and have gotten soooooo much value. Thanks again for everything you do!!❤❤
Phil, thank you so much for this tutorial, its absolute gold, got the FLX10 for Xmas and I'm so excited to what I just learnt with you, this is going to take me to another level, you are a true legend ! Big love #skindeep
I’ve just brought a DDJ FLX10 😀 Waiting for it to be delivered. This is such a helpful Video now I’m already for when it arrives 👌 Brilliant video thank you!
Really good presentation Phil, but about the filter knobs: I'm pretty sure that the first time they showed up was in 2006 with the DJM-800, and already back then it was 4 effects, Filter, Sweep, Crush and Harmonic. Later, on simple mixers, like the DJM-250, it was scaled down to be only a filter knob. As other brands introduced the knob on their gear, like Reloops 60 & 80 models, and when it showed up on controllers, it was often scaled down to be only a filter knob.
really useful thanks for the detailed overview, I just have one question: is there any dedicated button on DJ flx10 to preview tracks before loading them? I have to click mouse to achieve this right now, I know I can also use keyboard mapping by laptop to easily preview tracks from playlists but just interested, is it possible by DJ flx 10 itself?
At 22:06 those buttons don’t do anything on mine. I’m using Serato DJ Pro. Is there something else that needs to be engaged to make those buttons change the pitch like that?
AMAZING & thorough tutorial (as usual) - quick question: is there anyway to instantly KILL EQ (Serato) on this unit? I"m pretty sure there isn't that option, but is there a workaround - THANKS AS ALWAYS...
I just picked this one up, yesterday. Im not completely sold on this unit. Stems sound very much Digitized. If that makes sense.... The controller maybe is a bit overkill for my applications. But, also this tutorial is making it very hard for me to decide if I should keep or exchange for the DDJ REV 5 or something similar. Maybe even the Hercules T7. First world problems.....
This was fantastic help, Phil! Thanks so much! Two questions I have: 1) Is there a way to set default settings? I'm on Serato and I'd love for it to have the following set each time I put the controller on: 50% tempo range / mixer knobs set to stems instead of EQ / Master Cue set ON 2) My Tempo fader has a habit going all the way up, and I'd like to keep the tempo the same whilst bringing the fader back to the middle. Used to be able to do this easy with Traktor, just pressing shift. Is there an equivalent method on the FLX10? Thanks!
1. You can Midi map from within Serato and it will use your mapping every time until you tell it otherwise 2. I know what you mean but I don't think so
Congratulations on your show. I'm not a professional dj and even a beginner, I'll only use it at home and I'd like your opinion on the standalone because I'm between the old xdj xz and xdj rx3 (I don't care about the cost). I like the features of the flx10 (stars) but want to avoid computers and lots of cables.
Super helpful video, I’ve revisited this several times now. I do have a question; I’m using the FLX10 for a gig this weekend, there will be multiple DJs (up to 6) who will all want use their own laptops. 2 questions; 1. Is it just as simple as one laptop being plugged in A and the other into B, then assign channels? 2. Can 2 laptops be used as the same time. I’m thinking about 1 dj transitioning to another i.e. the current dj is playing on A, the next dj plugs into B. Can the second DJ mix out of what’s playing on A? I’m sure there was easier way to explain that 😅
Just got the FLX 10 today; moving from the FLX6. I thought the FLX6 was the ultimate, until this one came out. Hopefully the next move is going to be CDJ's or the Opus Quad.
Mix point link would be much better if you can use it when the outgoing track has no cue points. Either by setting it such that the incoming cue point will line up with the end of the track or being able to set the outgoing cue point from the incoming deck selection buttons. I am sure you can do this from the laptop screen but the interface for MPL is always a bit confusing. Great vid. I have had the flx10 since April now but it was helpful learning what Dual deck and keyboard mode do, as well that slip mode works for everything and not just scratching.
Glad you enjoyed this. One tip with MPL is to load the SAME track onto another deck and add a cue point, while it's playing - that cue point will appear on the other deck.
This tutorial is gold! Thank you so much. Anyone knows if the Tempo Slider could be set to reverse in Rekordbox? Looking at slowing down the tempo when sliding up.
Thank you so much for this training video Phil!!! The Crossfader however is bleeding channel A music when set to far end of channel B. This is when cut lag is set to 0.3mm. 1mm ( default ) dosent cause such problems. Is this is the same in your unit too? I’m using rekordbox and curve set it Sharp.
This is @pioneerdjglobal comment on stems as of today. I've been in talks with the engineering team & they are aware that rekordbox's track separation is no where near the quality that of serato stems. They are working on improving it however we do not have a date when this will be released. Regards
The takeover of serato failed. Rekordbox won't get stems until they can buy someone else out. Atm they may not get this tech at all. I live in AUS and nz are blocking this sale, period.
Thanks for the extensive tutorial Phil! 48:16 Just one question on the FX. You can only use one beat FX at the time. So no possibility to stack two or more beat FX together on one channel? Even on separate channels with two different beat FX is not possible? 1:00:42 Or do I have to use Pad FX for that? Thanks again!
at 37:38, the Hotcue Ring doesn‘t work at my FLX10. Show no colored ring, only a soft grey ring. I have at the Pioneer Settings App in Serato DJ the point „Virtual Deck Mode - Hot Cue Indicstor“ Potton > YES. (all latest Drivers and Updates installed, Macbook M1Pro). Anybody an idea?
Is it possible to connect external pedal like a DD-8? FLX10 Master out to input DD-8 and back to phono/line on channel? FLX10 (Booth out/RCA Out) -> Input to DD-8 Output of DD-8 -> FLX10 CH3 (Set as Line in/Phono) Wouldn't the CH3 accept this as an input signal?
A solid video Phil. I upgraded from a DDJ-SB3 Serato to the FLX10 Serato and after watching this video I have a few questions. 1) The HPF seems weak?? HPF on the FLX10 sounds like reducing the vol. Not reducing the bass and doesn't give that squelch sound like the SB3 2) Can the In/Out loop be quantized? I am finding live 1 beat manual loops difficult to get perfect. 3) Do you find you need to push the platter firmly and compared to other controllers is it good? The SB3 had a light nice touch/feel. I am getting used to the FLX10 platter but I expected a much nicer feel. 4) Is there a way of enabling pre-saved loops from the controller in Serato. I loved the feature you demonstrated in Rekordbox. 5) I assume that the volume on the colour FX can't be adjusted. Space for instance can sound very loud depending where it's used. I appreciate all your content. I've been watching for 3 years now. Many thanks!!
1. Not sure if this can be changed, I think not 2. You can't quantise manual loops, use an auto 1-beat loop instead (pads probably easiest way) 3. You'll get used to the platters! 4. No, don't think so! 5. Not in Serato
1) Yes, the HPF really is implemented in a strange way. Sounds like it mainly reduces the volume. Maybe a Firmware update could fix this? 3) I come from Numark and also found the mechanical platters strange at first, since you have to push it down to control them. But I like that an accidential contact on the platter doesn‘t stop the track. 😊 4) You can use the CALL left and right buttons to select the saved loop slot and use SHIFT + 4 BEAT to enable the loop.
@@digitaldjtips Thank you, I am going to buy the reckordbox course but i just looked through the curriculum and don't see "beatsync" mentioned. I am struggling with beat matching primarily due to one ear hearing loss and i have a FLX 10 and trying use it to help me out.
Is there any need to connect this to a mixer in terms of obtaining more headroom? Or can I plug directly into my speaker set up from the board? Basically, is a mixer needed ?
Hi Phil - not sure if understand what the pads modes are different in Serato . Maybe someone will eventually come out with a Skin overlay for serato only? I wish on another note would be a Skin for the mixer section as it shows smudges etc. but thats not really what this video is about ! Just my mind running off Lol 😂 great stuff so far only about a third of the way through! I know I’ll watch it a least 4 more times ❤
Hi. Another question from an FLX 10 newbie.😅 For example, when I press the drums away in the FX Stems Select, it sounds to me over the master as if the sound is already changing slightly, even though I haven't activated any effect. Does anyone else have this, or is it my device? Best regards.
Hi Phil great video. Any advice on the following? I have just received my brand new DDJ-FLX10. However I am having a problem as follows: - Beat FX display is showing "ERR LCD" -deck 2/4's pads keep flashing - deck 2/4's jog display is not working. - factory reset does not work - no problems with deck 1/3 as far as I can tell - deck 2/4 otherwise seems to work Firmware and drivers are up to date. So is Rekordbox.
Hello I have an FLX10 and I have a question regarding the build of the board that I wasn’t sure of. My question is, is the effect select knob in the bottom right of the mixer supposed to be harder to turn than the channel select knob in the bottom right of the mixer?
In 08:10 you Show that you Can Zoom the Waveform by pressing shift+Selectwheel. You only showed it in rekordbox and it works there, but i cant do that in serato DJ pro. Please help me, it frustrates me so much :(
Hi. I use the flx 10 with serato dj. The hot cue indicator does not work in the virtual deck. I see the ring, but it doesn't fill with color. I have also tried several Serato versions. Does anyone have an idea where the error could be? Best regards.
Can this controller really truly prepare you for gigs on industry standard CDJ and DJM gear? If not which CDJs and DJm which would prepare me - do I need to blow £7000 on the 3000s and v10 for home practice? I create music and DJ on Technics / DVS and Xone 92. I want to DJ with 2 to 3 decks and use pioneer effects. I’m also interested in stems but not with pioneers current stem quality. Thanks
You need a well prepared USB and 30 minutes on them. Don’t make it bigger than it is - if you can figure out driving a different model of car you can do this!
I notice that here the stems are three, instead of some of the cheaper controllers that have four - drums, vocals, bass, melody.. any reason why bass and melody are combined into one? Is it because not often you need to seperate the base line from the melody?
My friend and I were DJing together on two separate laptops (A and B). Is there a way to make the displays link together for visual beat matching this way? We couldn’t figure out if there was a way or not.
can you please tell how can i adjust the sesnsitivity of the jog wheels. I need to increase it. I'm using jog wheels skin protectors. Thanks in advance!!!
Hi - can you recommend any TH-cam channels that show how to dj with normal chart songs like take that and Ed Sheeran etc? Everything on TH-cam seems to be based on hip hop type music rather than wedding djing etc. Thanks Phil (old).
On my DDJ-FLX10 i have an issue where im not able to have the second page of my hotcues. Im stuck with only 8 pads where when i had my DDJ-1000, i could easily switch from my firs page to my second page with the pages buttons. Now it all disapeared. Im using Virtual DJ. Is there a way to fix that ?

3) Do you find you need to push the platter firmly and compared to other controllers is it good? The SB3 had a light nice touch/feel. I am getting used to the FLX10 platter but I expected a much nicer feel.
4) Is there a way of enabling pre-saved loops from the controller in Serato. I loved the feature you demonstrated in Rekordbox.
5) I assume that the volume on the colour FX can't be adjusted. Space for instance can sound very loud depending where it's used.
I appreciate all your content. I've been watching for 3 years now.
Many thanks!!
1. Not sure if this can be changed, I think not
2. You can't quantise manual loops, use an auto 1-beat loop instead (pads probably easiest way)
3. You'll get used to the platters!
4. No, don't think so!
5. Not in Serato
1) Yes, the HPF really is implemented in a strange way. Sounds like it mainly reduces the volume. Maybe a Firmware update could fix this?
3) I come from Numark and also found the mechanical platters strange at first, since you have to push it down to control them. But I like that an accidential contact on the platter doesn‘t stop the track. 😊
4) You can use the CALL left and right buttons to select the saved loop slot and use SHIFT + 4 BEAT to enable the loop.
So what's the next step in fixing the HPF??@@m.b.hart95
I assume that CALL refers to Rekorderbox and not Serato? @@m.b.hart95
Thx 🙏🏾 soo much for this
No problem!!
1:16:54 Is there a setting to activate this? It isn't working on my controller
great video....I learned alot.... But do you have a video that covers the beat sync features ?
We have a whole course on Rekordbox that goes into a lot more detail, djtips.co/courses
@@digitaldjtips Thank you, I am going to buy the reckordbox course but i just looked through the curriculum and don't see "beatsync" mentioned.
I am struggling with beat matching primarily due to one ear hearing loss and i have a FLX 10 and trying use it to help me out.
Thanks a lot 🎉
Is there any need to connect this to a mixer in terms of obtaining more headroom? Or can I plug directly into my speaker set up from the board?
Basically, is a mixer needed ?
Nom directly to speakers is fine
Does the lighting feature work with Virtualdj or just rekordbox
Just Rekordbox
Hi Phil - not sure if understand what the pads modes are different in Serato . Maybe someone will eventually come out with a Skin overlay for serato only? I wish on another note would be a Skin for the mixer section as it shows smudges etc. but thats not really what this video is about ! Just my mind running off Lol 😂 great stuff so far only about a third of the way through! I know I’ll watch it a least 4 more times ❤
The labelling is more or less correct for Serato's pad modes.
Hi. Another question from an FLX 10 newbie.😅 For example, when I press the drums away in the FX Stems Select, it sounds to me over the master as if the sound is already changing slightly, even though I haven't activated any effect. Does anyone else have this, or is it my device? Best regards.
Hi Phil great video. Any advice on the following?
I have just received my brand new DDJ-FLX10. However I am having a problem as follows:
- Beat FX display is showing "ERR LCD" -deck 2/4's pads keep flashing
- deck 2/4's jog display is not working.
- factory reset does not work
- no problems with deck 1/3 as far as I can tell
- deck 2/4 otherwise seems to work
Firmware and drivers are up to date. So is Rekordbox.
Oh and I have contacted both retailer and Pioneer
Oooooh, no idea, sorry.
Hello I have an FLX10 and I have a question regarding the build of the board that I wasn’t sure of. My question is, is the effect select knob in the bottom right of the mixer supposed to be harder to turn than the channel select knob in the bottom right of the mixer?
It is on ours
Hello, my main controller is a pioneer xdj-r1, I also use a pioneer xdj rx, I wonder if the ddj-flex 10 would be my new main controller.
Sounds like a good idea
In 08:10 you Show that you Can Zoom the Waveform by pressing shift+Selectwheel. You only showed it in rekordbox and it works there, but i cant do that in serato DJ pro. Please help me, it frustrates me so much :(
Not sure if it is possible in Serato, not saying it isn’t but don’t know how if so
@@digitaldjtips Thanks for the reply.
Damn, thats bad... that should definitly be an option
Sound Color FX is way too loud on my FLX10 anyway to adjust it? (Serato)
I purchased the Flex 10 a few months ago. Thanks for the review.
How do I set it so I can hear the microphone in my headphones?
I am not sure this is possible
Hi. I use the flx 10 with serato dj. The hot cue indicator does not work in the virtual deck. I see the ring, but it doesn't fill with color. I have also tried several Serato versions. Does anyone have an idea where the error could be? Best regards.
Is there a soft takeover way to reset the Pitch back to normal
Anyone know how to get the cue marker at 12:00 instead of its default 2:00?
Good question! Not sure you can.
I keep the key sync lights highlighted because I do not it sounds terrible when I move the pitch in Serato
Thanks for sharing Allan
Can this controller really truly prepare you for gigs on industry standard CDJ and DJM gear? If not which CDJs and DJm which would prepare me - do I need to blow £7000 on the 3000s and v10 for home practice? I create music and DJ on Technics / DVS and Xone 92. I want to DJ with 2 to 3 decks and use pioneer effects. I’m also interested in stems but not with pioneers current stem quality. Thanks
You need a well prepared USB and 30 minutes on them. Don’t make it bigger than it is - if you can figure out driving a different model of car you can do this!
With which button can I map the Serato DJ Pro FX effects on Pioneer FLX10?
how do you change the ring color to white on serato? which mode is that like yours?
Hello! I just got DDJ-FLX10. I downloaded the updated firmware and my Serato DJ Pro software is not recognizing the hardware. Help.
Hey, I started in 92 also , with cheap gemini turntables and a Dj Jazzy Jeff Gemini mixer. 😂
they were the days...
Excellent tutorial Phil. Thanks.
I wanted to ask, is it possible to save loops as a hot cue in Serato just like you demonstrated in Rekordbox?
Similarly, yes
I notice that here the stems are three, instead of some of the cheaper controllers that have four - drums, vocals, bass, melody.. any reason why bass and melody are combined into one? Is it because not often you need to seperate the base line from the melody?
RB has gone with 3 not 4
My friend and I were DJing together on two separate laptops (A and B). Is there a way to make the displays link together for visual beat matching this way? We couldn’t figure out if there was a way or not.
No, there isn't
VERY GOOD
can you please tell how can i adjust the sesnsitivity of the jog wheels. I need to increase it. I'm using jog wheels skin protectors. Thanks in advance!!!
You can't
Hi - can you recommend any TH-cam channels that show how to dj with normal chart songs like take that and Ed Sheeran etc? Everything on TH-cam seems to be based on hip hop type music rather than wedding djing etc. Thanks Phil (old).
Our Mixing For Mobile & Wedding DJs course is what you want.
On my DDJ-FLX10 i have an issue where im not able to have the second page of my hotcues. Im stuck with only 8 pads where when i had my DDJ-1000, i could easily switch from my firs page to my second page with the pages buttons. Now it all disapeared. Im using Virtual DJ. Is there a way to fix that ?
Sorry, not sure with VirtualDJ, I'd ask them in their forum.
Is it possible to change change default pad fx in serato? or is there a work around?
Don’t think so
