Would you recommend the DDJ-FLX4 for a beginner?

Looks good for a beginner, with the gimmicks you’ll want to start with but a layout that is similar to more expensive models, which will help when it comes to using foreign set ups.

Yeah seems like a good compromise (and also not too big which is important as I need to carry it around lol).

Using the industry standard is very helpful, I started on vinyl and you needed to be familiar with Technic 1210s and certain mixers if you were to use a clubs set up.
