Ive had this for over a week,y problem is scratch mode doesn't work!! What's going on? Any help?

[@brad270472]

Had my platinum FX for about a week and i'm more than happy. It was a toss up between this and the ddj-400.....think i made the right choice.

[@thefullenergychannel2879]

mine is arriving on Wednesday been out of the scene for a couple of years now I'm back used to have an NS6 Numark

[@brad270472]

@@thefullenergychannel2879 nice. Not sure how it compares to the NS6 because I've gone the other way. Started sodding about mixing with apps on my phone, then bought a bottom of range crappy controller and then wanted something better. Gotta admit that if I didn't get these at the start of this lockdown bollocks, I don't know where I'd be.... definitely kept me sane (the neighbours don't like me much though) and it's the 1st thing I switch on when I get in from work so I'm still not bored with it....enjoy.

[@d.jsoundtraveler5609]

it better. than the 400 and it has larger wheels than a 800$ pioneer controller

[@CarlosMartinez-rk2bt]

I am just waiting for my speakers so I can be rockin it was very hard for me too between this one or the 400 I think I made the right choice

[@brad270472]

"get it together, man". I chuckled.

[@ThailandDantotherescue]

I played around with the numark party mix, and carry it with me in my laptop case... it's great fun but limited of course. My friend suggested I upgrade to a pioneer, but let's be serious.. I'm not going to DJ at a big club, so controls that are laid out in an industry standard fashion aren't something I am even remotely concerned with. This is the best review I have seen so far. I pick up my platinum fx on Wednesday because of it... Numark has the fun factor missing from other brands. They know what a new or non pro dj is going to want and they deliver.

[@GetintheMix]

Glad to have helped your decision! It's a great step up, no doubt you're really going to enjoy this controller.

[@therebuildproject6180]

Pre ordered on one of these today from you in fact !! :) loved your review and you little demo set. Think I might be more excited than my son !!

[@reginaldspearman6195]

[@championsoundsdj6911]

Great review. The led metering the white led is your normal red clipping light. I would prefer green yellow and red though but with owning ns7 got used to it and no biggie really can clearly see why clipping and went to bring gain down still

[@gamefoo]

Now that Rekordbox 6 is $ub$cription only, yes this is the BEST entry level controller. Anyone who is going to upgrade gear later will be getting Serato Pro anyway.

[@RobertD_83]

It's not subscription only. I've been using it for the last week or so, and it's pretty good. You only need to pay a subscription if you want to mix from streaming sources. Also, if you have gear that activated rekordbox 5 it activates 6 as well. And 5 is still available, 6 installed along side it so I currently have both installed. That's not to say it'll keep getting updates for much longer as I have no way of knowing. But everyone is acting like it's pioneer-mageddon, but really nothing has changed as of yet. I do loathe the subscription model though and hope they see the backlash they've gotten as a sign to not move any further down that path. Edit: also you get way more packed in with rekordbox that the severely cut down serato dj intro. That pos doesn't even let you use every button on these "beginner" controllers, so if you want the full features you have to shell out $129 for pro. That's what swayed my decision when I got my ddj-400 over the sb3 and it still holds up in my opinion. That takes this beginner kit from $250 to almost $400!

[@llewellyndee1174]

How's the fader in response to the jog wheels ima scratcher pioneers on point how's the numark on scratching

[@czscorpio]

I've been trying to add Loop Roll, Sensor, and Beat Jump to this controller, but have not figured out how to do so. You mentioned effects could be reassigned inside Serato. Can you explain how to do this? Thanks

[@nomad1517]

I heard a DJ who does major festivals use these as backup controllers. He says they are the closest you can get to pro in a budget range.

[@DJPeeweePrimero]

How's the jogwheel feels for scratching? I'm planning to buy this bad boy! Nice review. 👍

[@djawek]

Got answer ?:D

[@tmus1905]

thanks for the video, currently these are about $70nzd cheaper than the ddj400 at $579 from a local retailer. I have the ddj200 and like the play and cue buttons as there big and easy to push not to mention the free full software of rekordbox.... but I'm not pro, so I'm swaying towards one of these just on the pure build and spacious layout. what would be your thoughts??

[@charleswrigley9488]

Would like to see the ndx500's remade with information screens in the middle of the jog wheels. And screens with waveforms they would go well each side of the numark scratch

[@GetintheMix]

That would be brilliant. The NDX500's could really do with a facelift, hopefully Numark has got something like that in store for us soon!

[@djinkentertainment]

@@GetintheMix i have the dnx 900s and a mk2 mixer. I djayed for 6 years doing weddings and work events and social events. Good bit of kit. With that said got real tiring dragging a big coffin with speakers, lighting bar, up lighting all the controls and such. So a maybe doing it again with a nice controller may be the way to go lol.

[@darc_harmoni4828]

How do I fix the slight latency on the pads?

[@MFJUN]

This or the inpulse 500?

[@personal-development-strategy]

Where can I buy a carry bag or case for this controller?

[@GetintheMix]

We have these pick foam cases available, designed to fit a variety of controllers and equipment. You can customise the internal shape of the foam by removing chunks to fit! www.getinthemix.com/accessories/equipment-cases-bags/dj-pa-cases/gc-mdjc.htm

[@niamhodonoghue112]

Someone please help. Pioneer 400 vs numark platinum fx with serato pro? Which should I buy

[@joshtaylor2839]

Same problem

[@niamhodonoghue112]

@@joshtaylor2839 I went with pioneer 400.hasn’t arrived yet but I asked this question on loads of KZbin vids and pioneer won on the vote. Also it comes with full record box software but numark just comes with serato lite so u have to pay more to get serato pro and unlock full functions. Look up KZbin video ; insect rave , by Chris luno or highway house mix Chris luno. It’s on pioneer 400 and is dope 🙂😎

[@Scientists_dont_lie]

If you can get serato pro, then I think the numark would win

[@jerrodjones3311]

Recently bought the Numark mixtrack pro fx. Had to send 2 of them back. Controller wont connect with computer. Used on both windows and apple no difference. I own ns7iii and nvii both working as it should

[@sysy8047]

I had same problem wouldn't work using an IRIG 2

[@johnwatkins8102]

Will this work with the newest ipad?

[@penwoopydo]

Both Mixtrack Pro FX and Platinum FX have Native Support with Algoriddm DJay Pro for the iPad! (which means you have subscribe to DJay app to run the controller)

[@Turbo_TechnoLogic]

So u can remap those 6 FX to other ones? No one mentions this in any other reviews!

[@noearooo]

I’ve been trying and I couldnt..in the end I remapped the pitch bend buttons for the efx slots 2&3

[@Turbo_TechnoLogic]

@@noearooo Hmm strange..Serato pro? This would be pretty important to make it happen somehow

They were due in today but unfortunately, we've heard from Numark they are pushed back a couple of weeks. We are now expecting them on June 15th :) We have a link in the description to pre-order!

I have this controller...i use vdj 8 infinity will this controller work it??

[@Mighty_Meng]

Did you end up getting VDJ functional for the controller? I am picking it up and also prefer VDJ, but I don’t want to push it if the mapping doesn’t fit. I also use Mac so I’m skeptical. At the end of the day, I’ll use whatever works most smoothly.

better to cue tap on pads with this one

Your verdict : .../10????

[@GetintheMix]

If we had to, we'd probably put this at about an 8.5 or 9 out of 10. Highest in it's category with only minor negatives as discussed in the video :)

Dude, you holding this thing for 10 m...why ??

James is doing videos from home at the moment and he couldn't find a good table to have it on next to him whilst he talked about it. Instead, he decided to hold it for 10 minutes at the expense of his arm
