The DDJ-FLX4 was made for Rekordbox first, so in Serato some of its buttons are mislabelled and some of its best tricks aren't printed anywhere on the controller. Here are five hidden features for using the FLX4 with Serato DJ Lite or Serato DJ Pro, why you'd use them, and how to get to them, all without going near your laptop.
(All month long we're sharing tips, tricks and techniques for DJs on every kind of gear, from beginner to pro. Check them all out on the playlist)
You'll learn how to:
- Switch off Vinyl mode so a stray touch on the jogwheel never stops the music
- Move the tempo fader without changing the track's speed (great for going beyond the tempo range)
- Start tracks with the channel faders or crossfader using Fader Start
- Jump straight back to the start of a track
- Race through a track with the jogwheel, jumping in beats while it plays
- Sort your library by BPM or artist straight from the controller
Plus a bonus: how to keep a track playing after starting it from a cue point.
KNOWvember is our month of hidden tips and tricks for DJs on every kind of gear, from beginner to pro.
