DDJ-FLX4 CONTROLLER SUPPORT Connect a DDJ-FLX4 via USB to control playback, cues, jog wheels, mixer controls and more. DDJ-FLX4 is sold separately. A compatible USB connection and appropriate power supply are required. Remote library access requires a compatible Mac version of SpinCut DJ, the same account on both devices, your Mac running and awake with sharing enabled, and an internet connection on both devices. Playback start time depends on the connection. Fetched audio uses temporary storage on your device. This feature does not provide a subscription music catalog. Feature availability may depend on your account and plan. Use supported audio files you have the necessary rights to use. Ensure you also have the necessary rights for live broadcasting.
