Official Pioneer DJ Tutorials: Pioneer DJ often provides their own introductory videos. Check their official website or YouTube channel for "DDJ-FLX4 tutorial" or "DDJ-FLX4 getting started". These are usually the best place to begin as they are tailored to the controller itself.

That’s an awesome gift! To get your son started with the Pioneer DDJ-FLX4, he’ll need software like rekordbox or Serato DJ Lite (both free). Speakers are necessary, preferably powered (active) speakers for direct connection. He can install the software on a Windows or Mac computer, and learn www.nj-mvc.com mixing techniques through beginner tutorials on YouTube. DJing is all about blending tracks using EQ, effects, and transitions—he can access songs via streaming services like TIDAL, Beatport, and SoundCloud Go+
