I bought this based on this review because I needed a smaller controller for mobile gigs and so far I couldn't be happier build quality is super solid love that it's plug-and-play with no adapter needed never thought that I would go back to a Numark mixer but this thing is absolutely the best controller for the money in the business

[@digitaldjtips]

It is indeed very well made for the money.

[@samhunt387]

Just won one in a free giveaway so been binge watching these videos, this one has been by far the best one so far

[@digitaldjtips]

Glad to help, enjoy the controller!

[@YoKnow]

Sweet, I'm jealous! Moving on up!

[@kennyzail6224]

I bought this based on your review. I love it. $50 for the jog wheel and the 4 channels, I think is well worth it over the Pro model. I use Virtual DJ and found that the Platinum works well with VDJ too.

[@digitaldjtips]

Nice one Kenny

[@MARKYCEE34]

Can use Pro serato

[@michaelroos1893]

Hi Kenny, may i ask how did you get the controller to work with VDJ? Did you have to buy the license for the controller for $100 or not? Regards

I got gifted one of these last night so I'm just getting schooled up before I let loose haha.

[@digitaldjtips]

[@P4boot]

Numark really came strong with these! The best features are the jog screens, long throw pitch, and the effects switch which is far better than the effects on the 1000srt . Whose idea was it to implement effects like that?? I just wanna activate my effects immediately, not worry about what channel I'm on. The loop functions are redundant, and there should be a standard xlr out at that price point. But overall good controller! This release literally came out of nowhere! Thanks Phil

[@digitaldjtips]

Early feedback seems like pretty much everyone LOVES those new FX paddles. Looks like the gambler has paid off for Numark...

[@nickbaudean]

@12:00 I think you actually can change the effects on the device w/out using the Mouse! I have the Platinum (previous version bough brand new - only had for 30 days now, but I'm willing to bet, that feature can be turned on/off in the settings OR work through the "SHIFT + button??" The version I have works work by pressing the "Shift + "FX1, FX2, or FX3" buttons. So, it just stands to reason that it works the same way, BUT IT MAY NOT. Thank you for all that you do "Digital DJ Tips"

I regularly watch your reviews and would love to buy this mixer, but Numark and Alto have decided not supply to my local supplier in Bristol or to other smaller shops nationally but will only supply to the larger companies. I understand this is a national issue, so this means if I have to travel to Reading or Birmingham which is bad enough for me but even worse for DJ's further down South. Granted I could order from the internet but I prefer that personal touch, these smaller shops show you how it works before you buy, you can take it back easily when under guarantee, have it pac tested and serviced. They are great for young kids and teenagers looking to get on that DJ step ladder. I know we are living in difficult times but we DJ's need these smaller shops which have been slowly closing down over the years. Thank you for your Video.

[@digitaldjtips]

That’s a shame but I guess that’s the way things are going. Doesn’t alter the fact that this is a superb controller. 😀

[@mezzo1268]

Great Showcase. Definitely going to buy when I can find it in stock. Birthday was on may 18 and all the pioneer ddj 400’s have been out of stock (in uk). Now that I have seen this I will definitely be getting the Mixtrack platinum. Thanks for good review

outstanding review. thank you!

[@digitaldjtips]

Thanks for watching!

[@smoothoperator6477]

One important point that I never saw mentioned in videos before I bought mine is that at least half the imported tracks aren't analysed properly by Serato, so you don't get the bpm or loop capability. Personally I use that as an opportunity to mix purely by ear, but it might be important for some. Not sure if that's also the case on Serato Pro. I'm using the Lite version that was included.

[@digitaldjtips]

Depends on your music, but usually it is easy to fix an auto beatgrid as the software will have got close.

[@groovejets]

Loved the review, thank you. Everything I wanted to know.

Roland 202. Its got the Classic Roland built in Drum Machines and programmable Sequencer plus more effects and more Pad functionality, 4 Decks ect. Only thing this does better imho are the LED Jogs and long throw pitch faders. DDJ400 is pretty sweet also so is the SB3.

[@digitaldjtips]

Thanks for pointing out the DJ 202!

[@DanielleKingdjdinosaur]

i had a mixtrack for use in Vienna and at the time that was all i could get for that place .I had a fully pro set up in London .The mixtracks cross fader lasted less than a year and it had no independant gain on the mixer section.I took it to the U.K as a present for anyone that might want a controller.I have a new set up in Vienna with a new Mac Book Pro ,the Numark Scratch and some older Pioneer CDJS and some cheap direct drive decks that will have to go once i have the money to replace them.I still will need a good portable for when i am on my travels though.

[@digitaldjtips]

Well the new one has definitely got the gains. :)

[@teodorodecastillo1597]

great review helped me a lot thank you

[@digitaldjtips]

[@vladsandu9713]

At the time of writing still seems the best laid out cheap controller. The only annoying thing is the fader cuts feature, if you don't use it, as it can't be remapped.

[@digitaldjtips]

Thanks for sharing Vlad.

[@littlefela6889]

Super cool controller! Really like the idea of this, almost another version of the ddj 800. Those pitch fades are awesome tho

I wanted to buy this one i love the FX section but only one effect for both decks lol 😭 might still get it for those tempo faders

[@digitaldjtips]

It's a great bit of kit :)

[@erasmoag]

Just picked up one of these, but what I’m finding is that when I put it in Scratch mode and I play the song, the track skips along when I press play. Once I disengage scratch mode the track plays normally. It’s annoying because all I can do is nudge the track and not go back and forth as you do in your video. Thanks for making these! I have learned so much from your videos.

[@digitaldjtips]

Not sure why that is!

[@jcruz.london]

Great review, well done. However, which one do you really recommend, the Platinum FX or Pioneer DDJSB3? THANKS

[@digitaldjtips]

Depends what style of effects you want, that would be the decider for me. Paddles, or traditional?

[@mrt4409]

What's about versus DDJ 400

[@robdela3632]

​@@digitaldjtips can you say which one has more accurate pitch adjustment with the faders between sb3, ddj 400 or the one you're showing here?

[@digitaldjtips]

The Numark, it has much longer pitch faders

[@tzx8625]

imo the numark is a whole lot cooler features-wise than the SB3 which is about 2 years old now. but do consider how easy it is to get a controller serviced in your area if you plan to keep the controller for many years. where i live, few people have spare parts to fix a numark, so i'd only buy the numark if i don't intend to take it out much or if i'm sure i'm going to take very good care of it. otherwise i'd get the pioneer. I bought a numark NVII couple years back and it has some problems now but it's too costly to fix, so I wish i had gotten a pioneer back then.

Great review, I’m torn between this and the Inpulse 500, if you had to choose, which one?

[@digitaldjtips]

I'd choose this, I think the jogs and the build quality are slightly better.

[@tomasdanielnieto5398]

I've often heard the jog wheels being too heavy for scratching, which is something I would be interested in doing. However, it offers so many features for a beginner DJ like me as a proper first controller. I do not know if that should be a deal breaker, and go for something like the pioneer ddj-400

[@digitaldjtips]

You can scratch on either controller you mention.

[@DanoSuits]

Thank you for the informative review Phil! I recently purchased Algorddims Djay software and noticed that it works with this Numark controller. I imagine that you could re-map the pads to do other things in the DJay software. Have you tried this yet? I am debating whether to move on from Traktor gear to this controller or the Pioneer ddj-400. The Numark's displays are pushing me in that direction because my eyes have gotten worse over time and I want to avoid using the computer for basic info like the bpm and the time of the track, setting cue points during times of a track is essential to apply fx at certain cue points. Seeing the time of a track helps with timing for cues and effects on the fly and for prep work.

[@digitaldjtips]

djay is pretty easy to map, but no we haven't played with remapping this controller to that software.

[@sebastianzhong]

Great review! I'm an absolute beginner so I don't know if we can customize the features on the pads? I want to use Serato's stem/track separation feature with these pads!

i dont use lots of effects at the same time and usually its like an echo as i dont have the right bpm for the next track or the bpm isnt constant enough to do a beat mix as a transition..I like to use effects at the right time on the right track and the limited deployment here is not an issue.

Thanks for a great run through on this. Been using mine for a few months now, and I truly love it. Bought this to get back into it and it definitely did the trick. Had a Traktor S2 years ago and it just wasn't the set up for me. Didn't really enjoy the software either. Serato Pro, this controller, and Tidal has been a game changer. It might be worth noting to some that you CAN switch out the Sampler for full Serato stems control. Been fun playing around with that feature and thought it was great to have on such a cheap controller. I do seem to have a bit of trouble with decks 3 & 4. Might chalk that up to just being a rookie DJ in general, but we'll seea lol. I think I bought it used for $175, totally worth it for me!

Fantastic review, as always. Couple questions: the FX section actives the standard Single FX, but does it allow for usage with Multi FX? Thinking about it in terms of using a specific Echo Out. I suppose this could be done with midi mapping the paddles or does it mapping even recognize Hold and Temporary? How much bigger would this be compared to say a VCI-380? Thanks, Phil!

Maybe it would be possible in Serato DJ Pro. the way it works now is that it activates the first of the three available effect slots simultaneously for both effect engines.

Wonderful overview. I'm, thinking about getting this but I'm wondering if it will suite my needs. I have a standard Numark M4 Mixer and 2 Technic MkII turntables, lots of vinyl and a MacBook Pro.

Unfortunately , I didn't see any analog inputs on the controller so not sure how I would funnel my vinyl through this device.. Or is there another device I should look for? Thoughts??Thanks

This controller is the one!

[@DanielleKingdjdinosaur]

i often have to use a manual loop as much of my stuff is before mechanical beats .

[@digitaldjtips]

Me too!

[@exxtreme_zw]

Are you going to do an giveaway for this one🥺🥺??

[@digitaldjtips]

Maybe!

[@exxtreme_zw]

Digital DJ Tips can’t wait! Really need a controller now😪😪!

[@kevinszum5904]

Great review. Mine arrived today :-) Am I doing something wrong or have Numark junked the 'Shift + push down the Browse dial' function for expanding crates in Serato?

[@digitaldjtips]

We didn't test that! We'll have a look when we next set it up.

[@kevinszum5904]

@@digitaldjtips I messaged Numark support to ask about it. Not sure if it's my device or by design! :-)

[@kevinszum5904]

@@digitaldjtips I'm really struggling to get anywhere with Numark, Serato or the shop I bought the Pro FX from. Can't find anything about this online either - do you know anyone who has this issue?? Lol feel like I'm going insane!! :-)

Hello, can't this to work with the serato pro version

[@g_stou]

I am an amateur dj and been working with only software on laptop, and this review is awesome even for someone like me that has almost no clue about controllers and thinking about getting this. I have 2 questions: 1. I will be needing to travel by airplane with it a few times, needing to have it in the baggage. Is it too sensitive (keys etc.) to travel with it? Is there a good suggestion about how to do it? 2. Does Serato Lite support the 4 decks or only the Pro?

[@digitaldjtips]

Buy a Decksaver cover for the controls, it is a hardwearing acrylic cover to protect them in transit.

[@g_stou]

@@digitaldjtips thank you very much for answering. I was thinking about a full case because I thought that the cover wouldn't be strong enough, but now that I give it one more look seems perfect. Thank you!

[@dez2488]

Where did you get the samplers from? Especially the gunshot sound effects?

[@digitaldjtips]

I think they come with Serato?

[@zilog2021]

4:05 can you change the time from ascending to descending. I like my time to count down to Zero. Can this be done in Serato if it can't be done by the controller? Also, are the pads rubber or hard plastic?

[@digitaldjtips]

Hard plastic for the pads. Yes, you can set that in Serato.
