I would like. It’s so much I’m just 8 and my brother is a dj I’m still in training but I would like this it’s fire

[@bunnysimon886recordsliveby4]

Does The Numark Party Mix Live Work On Android?

[@lostpilgrimmedia_uk]

I used to dj. Wanted something basic and got this. Absolutely awesome equipment

[@keviin077]

Thanks for the review and also information that's enough for somebody without any experience with such things. I've bought one and am impressed. Also it's not so easy how I thought.

[@lachyismydad3398]

Are the speakers loud ?

[@keviin077]

@@lachyismydad3398 Hi for me yes. It depends but for the room party loud enough.

[@tanishqambwani8924]

What a video! Nice and clean, he put so much efforts! You covered everything.

[@marktaylor7125]

Great review thanks. I’m an old school early 90’s raver. Just want to mess about at home doing some mixes. This review has sold it for me. Also a bonus as the Djay app (subscribed) allows Apple Music too.

[@itsamedjmario]

The partymix live is perfect for my 9year old to get started.. I was gonna grab him the Hercules, but the on board speaker is a great selling point.

[@rohansippy4628]

I'm 24 and I'm planning on getting this. Your comment just disappointed me lol

[@MysticMastersOfTheArts]

@@rohansippy4628 i was 19 when i got this still dope bro

[@djrxmx]

Itsa's comment doesn't disappoint me. The device is nothing more than a toy. Numark needs to slash the price on that thing to somewhere around 79.99 USD at best. It's seriously low quality stuff, man.

[@mattchu9236]

@@djrxmx I'm thinking of getting into being a dj, but it seems like this controller isn't the best for me. Is the Pioneer DDJ 200 or Hercules Impulse 200 good enough for a beginner?

[@braindonor8753]

@@mattchu9236 go pioneer. They all do the same thing really. But the layout and feel be more similar when you upgrade. Fine to start out with. Or even get a second hand 4 channel one.

[@J_Alrighty]

great, informative and thorough video. thanks

[@GregRband]

Great review and opinions! More reviews should be this focused and good! Cheers!

[@HenryWDavey]

Awesome review. Thanks. Know exactly what to spend my Christmas money on now! This has swayed me from getting the DJ2GO2 Touch to the Party Mix 2.

[@alerthunter742]

How do you like partymix 2?

[@HenryWDavey]

@@alerthunter742 I really enjoy it. It's a great way to get into mixing tracks. My only criticism is that you can't record the tracks you make (although there's probably software available through Serrato or someone else). I just use it to kill time mixing tracks. Never used it publicly though.

[@MikkiZHskDK]

QUESTION . i just got the party mixer 2, i tried connecting my headphones via macbook, but i got no sound in serato when trying, i have connected the headphones to the dj deck, and not my laptop, and i got no sound, also tried to take out the headphones and into my laptop instead, still no sound, the knobs and all are working and its lighting up when pressing buttons but NO sound is coming out anywhere, the input devices is the default monitor on pc or the dj deck. nothing else

[@lfroglfrog4962]

Perfect Review!!!!!!!❤❤🎉🎉

[@nicolea2839]

OMG! Got this for Christmas and I LOVE it

[@macfin4862]

Great review, the lack of a 3rd EQ control probably rules this out for me. I hadn't seen that mentioned in previous reviews, thanks.

[@djozaimusic]

in most of the dj softwares you can assign some nobs as hi and mid.

[@shkelqimqendro5811]

i want to connect it to my mobile what is the name of the dj application

[@martinezandy15]

How do i obtain instrumentals and acapella music from various musicians? I can’t find them on Spotify, Soundclound, or Apple Music

[@trevorastewart]

Most DJ’s subscribe to digital record pools (essentials websites you pay a flat monthly rate to for unlimited music downloads) like BPM supreme (which I personally have an recommend) and DJcity more

[@Macarite]

type in acapellas4u on google

[@daveturner9180]

I'm an old skool vinyl DJ looking to get back into it again, I really like the look of the party mix live but can I use android phone ? As I don't have a laptop or iPhone

[@gvn-xk6eq]

Did you ever find out

[@russellkelley9916]

Curious I'm not seeing any videos of anyone using a mic on it does it have a microphone option

[@doccomoli]

I own the original Party Mix and it’s insanely useful for the price. But the inclusion of dedicated filter knobs, the ability to use iOS, and yes even the speaker make this very tempting for an amateur such as myself. However, what would be another device in the same bracket that works with Serato Pro AND Djay?

[@Crossfader]

There's quite a lot of Serato controllers that Djay supports. The Pioneer DJ DDJ-SB3, Hercules Impulse 500 and Numark Mixtrack models for example.

[@osiris5315]

If the speakers are turned off, does it support USB power or do you still need the AC power cable?

[@YRREBLRAK]

Great Review I just picked up one to host my show online. 🙌🏾

[@thisisnima7845]

I have a extra kick drum box when i mix and i don’t know how i can remove that. When i disconnect the controller is not there but when is connected theres an extra drum kick in music

[@DJStuartK]

I’m actually getting one of these to put in my shop. Dont have much room for a set up on the shop floor, but this would be good for messing around on inbetween clients.

[@AlanProducer]

What you think about Party Mix Live vs DDJ 400 in terms of more complete features? I want to buy one or other I want to know an opinion about?

[@puddles5501]

lol. this is basically a toy in comparison its a cool toy mind you, i'm so close to getting one

[@ceazy1861]

Whats is a step up from this that you spoke about at the end of the video?

[@gam3rguy166]

got the party mix 2 yesterday well good and ordered my lightning cable for my phone to play where i like until i invest in a laptop i am currently able to dj on pc only at the minute

[@yeetdlgamer984]

For this it comes with serato dj lite and djay pro, which one should I use more(for serato it’s lite if u want to compare[im not buying pro unless……yea])

[@deana.amlott]

What do you suggest to use with this? iPhone, iPad, laptop

[@daneanderson4598]

Hw does one change tempo range in serato dj pro...fr..8..to..16..to...50...because there is no shift button on this party mix2

[@gdvoz1]

Do this comes whit auto mix ? Thanks

[@ItsNecieNee]

I'm so ready for the new NS6 and NS7 ! Assuming it's arriving this year also !

[@thehouserocker]

Look for those under the Denon and Rane, seems inMusic has made Numark the entry level brand. Check out the Rane One or the Denon SC5000M

[@liandypass2508]

Do I need to pay for the functions you showed in the video(the software part)? or it's free? Thanks

[@ghostgaming-78-l5l]

I used serato where it’s free and I can’t figure out how to put music on unit just has the music that came with it

[@djpk965]

Nice Video! It's very cool that you can do it with your mobile phone :)

[@Crossfader]

Thank you, the iOS integration is great!

[@djcal623]

I have the 200 400 and 1000. The 200 i gave to my grand daughter the 400 i use if i just wanna entertain a small group house party. But with all of them a computer is needed and i would like to not be toggled to a computer when just throwing a small get together. However i am a android user...will this be issue?

[@ethanwestmusic_]

The 200 is mainly supported for phone use.

[@ezontheeyesphotography]

Does it come with any free software to get started

[@ILOVETHESIMPSONS13]

Will it work with my Samsung android phone and my hp laptop? I don't have any apple stuff

Can someone tell me if I can use my JBL speaker??????

Thanks so much 😊😊😊👍👍👍

[@DynMarkMusic]

What's the difference between Serato DJ and Serato DJ Pro?

[@Atlantis284]

About $129

[@DynMarkMusic]

@@Atlantis284 I was confused because 8 years ago I bought a Pioneer Controller and it has a Serato DJ installer is the features still the same with the Pro Version?

[@Atlantis284]

@@DynMarkMusic no, Serato DJ Lite is a free stripped down version, Pro gives you more 'professional' features. Thought that was pretty self explanatory.

[@djkarlthomas]

Definitely a great little kids product! The little light show is cute! They should have launched this around Christmas time. I do think the speakers are perhaps a little bit unnecessary just because the sound really doesn't seem to be that great but I guess if its kids using the device- they don't want to annoy parents haha! Good review.

[@Crossfader]

Thanks, we agree, it's a superb product for the younger generation, not to say that it's not capable enough for adults too!

[@djrxmx]

Word. It's exactly for a little child.

[@nicolea2839]

The sound quality’s surprisingly good! I have one and I love that thing

[@MaxilentProductions]

Where did anyone ever say this is for “little kids”? If you’re buying a 7 year old a DJ mixing controller, that’s just odd, imma be honest. This is clearly for adults. Are you gonna go do a festival run at Coachella with this thing? Duh, no. Can you put on a set for a house party or smaller venue, easily! Ya’ll just want to justify the $5k you spent on your setup ten years ago where someone can do that shit with one laptop and a $200 controller nowadays. 😂

[@teqfreak]

@@MaxilentProductions Yeah.... it's funny how hostile some people are towards this device. If you have the talent and skill you can do a more awesome set with this little thing than with a 5K setup and no talent or skill. You cannot buy talent or skill. I wish this existed when I was younger.

[@stuarth4249]

Would the Controller work with "Mixxx" Free dj software?

[@johnramsay161]

My partner wants to buy my little boy a Vtech Kidi DJ Mixer. It has pre programmed samples and some very questionable techno beats and stuff built in. I'm trying to persuade her to just get a real mixer, obviously so I can get a shot aswell lol. Is this the best around for kids do yous reckon? He is only 4 mind you but have seen some really young kids mixing before. I have let him play the Lil Drum Machine app on my phone and he can make a pretty sick beat, is there any other low end mixers with drum pads built in at all? If anybody thinks there are any machines that may be more suitable for a 4 year old could you tell me which one I could try. Thanks guys

[@jessicaosborn2228]

Does it support amazon unlimited music?

[@58turbovision]

thanx brother its for my 6 year old daughter reat review..ver helpfull

[@grantkh]

Same!

[@theadhdbiker6493]

Does it work with android too?

[@jestylou2]

How to connect my iPhone to the controller.`? What kind of cable 🤔 can you send me the name or a picture of it please

[@marktaylor7125]

iPhone camera adapter is what you need.

[@R3pspanda]

Does it connect to pc?

[@QueenofAfrosoul]

I"m not a kid, but I am a beginner DJ. A friend bought it for me as a gift, I'm sure he wasn't insulting me getting a kids gift

[@isaiahromero9861]

I got this for my friend and I can assure you this is a perfect gift for anyone of any age wanting to get into DJing, it's a perfectly capable controller for making mixes and even remixing songs and stuff like that. It looks a little toyish but who cares? It almost felt like the guy in this video was being patronizing when he kept saying stuff like "this is great for kids having a little party in their room *stares at camera*"

[@S8UL.THE.ARCHITECT]

Can I hook up wireless speakers to the pad?

[@Crossfader]

We never recommend using wireless speakers with any DJ set up. Unless it's Skaa Pro the latency is too big, making beatmatching virtually impossible

[@nw1234-nw]

Can i connect a Soundboks to the Numark without a recognizable time difference of operation and sound?

[@Crossfader]

Using a cable sure, wirelessly you would need a SKAA Pro transmitter such as the Dani :)

[@jessicagriffin3611]

Can you use an hp chromebook rather then a laptop?

[@38DOR]

Stupid question but how do I link my iPhone to the Numark Party Mix Live?

[@johntoth1264]

No, its not a stupid question. It feels ridiculously impossible. It keeps saying file too big or not enough power to use device. It makes no sense. Did you find a solution?

[@youngbundy4575]

Could u make a video on the party mix live with soundcloud👍🏻

[@tomkelly3660]

Thanks for this great review! Really helpful tutorial!!! All my music is in Spotify, is there anyway to access it via this controller or the software mentioned. Surely there must be a way to access it?

[@juniorfreyre2996]

Yes there’s a process

[@chriskeo392]

Nope

[@chriskeo392]

Did you not watch the video?

[@acb4374]

Can you attach external speakers and turn off the built in speakers?

[@Crossfader]

Yes!

[@Bavubuka]

live has built in speakers

How do the built in speakers sound?

[@musicbyblackyt]

just thinking the same thing

[@typhfanuwu7526]

Don’t expect amazing sound it’s ok for the price

[@cobcrnc]

Just ordered the party mix 2 and i can't wait. What does the higher end controllers have that this one doesn't may i ask? More buttons for fx etc and a couple more nobs?

[@claytondeoliveira8064]

They are bigger in size, the jog wheels are bigger, they usually don’t feel cheaply made or very plastic, there are more performance pads, more knobs, longer tempo faders, usually a mic input and much more

[@cobcrnc]

@@claytondeoliveira8064 been rocking this PM2 for a month now and all your points are true haha, does the job and I've improved massively but limited on what i can try now, should've gone for a higher end one i think

[@acb4374]

Does anyone know when the Numark Party Mix Live is shipping in the US?

[@yeetdlgamer984]

What do u mean

[@leonormston2238]

What’s the name of the app on the phone?

[@RacingGoesWill]

Thanks for the review. How long you figure it would take for someone with zero experience to grow beyond this controllers capabilities?

[@Crossfader]

It really depends on the DJ and the goals they want to reach. This controller can be used with Serato DJ Pro if you need to expand the limits of Serato DJ Lite. It's a great little device but one day you might want to look into something with more professional audio connections and more performance pads.

[@ryanwilson1928]

I personally outgrew within 3 months, the 1st version was a great cheap entry level but I needed something with more features, have since upgraded from the Numark Mixtrack Pro (lasted me another 10 months?) to the DDJ-SX3 4 Channel.

[@gx2music]

Mixxx supports this controller. It’s free open source software. No subscription needed.

[@lilricky5483]

Is it still free ?

[@yuzosebdoom-pl5yj]

Will USB drive, with 999 thousand songs, seeing that I do own a lot of music, and original copy's of music, which I have created on music programs, such as MTV 2 & MTV 3 ejay world club & fl studio, and some drum solo beats on real drums not electronic drums but acoustic. Seeing that I can play drums, and I have been doing a little bit of DJing, on a dj vibes machine which my Older brother bought for my birthday. And would rather have something like this. That's more of an upgrade?.

[@craigmains6471]

Can you record your mixes

[@varanttchalikian1031]

If you put 2 headphone queues on, the audience wont hear anything right?

[@Crossfader]

The audience will hear any channel that has its fader up. The cue allows you to hear this channel even when the fader is down :) Hope this helps!

[@RubenLopez-wb7md]

It’s nice cause it has the built in speaker but I’d still think the sb3 is really good for beginners just cause its the same layout as a lot of higher end controller

[@daanishalidahraj660]

Does it work on #Traktor?

[@djrahuldiuindia3822]

I really like this controller

[@pxpilot]

can I play music from Apple music ?

[@dJBoog]

🗣 The Prime Go Needs A Speaker

[@Crossfader]

That's a great idea

[@livelifestyle2269]

Android yet? Or still just ios?

[@SIKclipFlix]

I was going to give a try till you said iPad or iPhone.. no android?

[@Crossfader]

Android is really bad for handling low latency audio tasks sadly. It's the reason all DJ apps are scaled back and less powerful compared to their iOS equivalents

[@noboby863]

For me, the best controller under $150 would be Hercules inpulse 200

[@chichestertownlibrary1076]

I like the looks of Hercules but I had a Hercules Starlight and it suddenly quit working with my laptop, contacted Hercules and it was a shit show. Could barely get any help. Sorry not a fan of Hercules, they look great but they don't work forever.

entry level my a66.... they are advertising it as a "entry level" to make you buy more expensive junk, which do the same job. buy cheap, get creative, ph4k the brands!

[@djrxmx]

What a waste of 150 USD. You could take that money and invest toward a real controller like the Numark FX Pro, for starters. I could understand if Numark charged 89.99 USD or something like that since, in essence, it really is just a toy.
