The pitch controls themselves are short and not very accurate, although they’re just about OK at +/-8%, but there are pitch -/- buttons too for nudging. The “shift” modifier gives a range of extra controls like a censor, sync on/off, fader start and pitch range.

Most of the expected controls are present and correct, with Serato’s standard two FX sections, four line channels with gain controls (thanks, Reloop – some manufacturers don’t bother with these, and they are important), both volume and cue mix controls for the headphones, a master volume, and full transport controls including CUP.
Input and output-wise, it’s about as simple as controllers come. Meanwhile around the back is a single USB socket for attaching to your computer, and a pair of stereo RCA outs. The front proudly bears the “Reloop” and “Serato” logos, which is also where you’ll find the mic input (1/4″ TRS with its own volume control) and both 1/4″ and 1/8″ TRS headphones sockets. The layout is spacious and intuitive, with the nowadays ubiquitous pads at the front of each deck. Due to the relatively large size of the unit, everything is well spaced out, and with the sampler fader up the middle of the mixer section meaning there are a total of five faders central to the design, it bears more than a passing resemblance to more expensive controllers like the Pioneer DDJ-SX. The low-slung, brushed-metal-topped jogs are large and smooth, and the controls are in various shades of grey and white. Plastic in construction but packing a decent weight, it looks like a larger, slimmer Pioneer DDJ-Ergo: white base, rounded corner, matt black top panel. Let’s take a look… First impressions & setting up And while it is gloriously simple to use, the Beatmix 4 has features unheard of at this price point a few seasons back. So it is with the Beatmix 4 from Reloop: A sturdy, four-channel DJ controller aimed squarely at consumers.

Partly due to Traktor pretty much disappearing from the third-party controller scene (it never really cracked “plug and play” outside NI’s own hardware) and partly due to the maturing of the market, nowadays you can confidently expect to easily get going on all-new DJ controllers – and more often than not, the software you’re doing it with is some flavour of Serato DJ. Remember the days when DJ controllers came with vague instructions about getting them working with any number of different software options, with possibly a hard-to-install, badly documented DJ program in the box? We do – we had mailbags full of people wondering why “the same thing is coming out of my speakers as my headphones”, or complaining that “I move the fader but the screen controls stay stuck”.
