Numark DJ2GO2 Touch - Great little Serato DJ controller for Serato! HANDS-ON REVIEW

[@alper_dagli]

This is the best tutorial I've come across about Numark DJ2GO2 Touch. A short and solid tutorial for an impatient beginner like myself. This tutorial definitely needs more views!

[@digitaldjtips]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jimlloyd1854]

It works with VirtualDJ, as well! Definitely on my need-to-get list. It is great to have something like that in my travel bag for those just-in-case times.

[@digitaldjtips]

Absolutely

[@いも助-b8s]

Nice review, thanks. I bought this new version in amazon USA. I had old version and that was useful when I making setlist before playing.

[@digitaldjtips]

Thanks for watching :)

[@marianadelarosamezzo]

I have the previous version, DJ2GO2 with Serato Lite and I have never been able to pre-listen/cue/monitor without the audio going out through the speakers as well. Any solutions?

[@DanielleKingdjdinosaur]

i didnt like the previous versions of this but it had potential.With the better jogs i would find this useful as i am often away from my gear but my computer goes where i go and this would be cool for trying ideas out and setting loops and cues on the go.Also small parties would be good just bring this and my mac and then back in the bag job done.

You cannot DJ with Bluetooth, there is too much latency.

[@mikelewis8879]

Pretty cool little controller. Apart from it's function as a travel controller, I'm wondering if it's possible to map the browse and cue point buttons to my rekordbox DVS setup in addition to an external mixer (23c)? Purely for basic track browse/load and cue point functions .

Hello. Just bought the numark dj2go touch with serato lite. I already have DJ Pro setup on my laptop because I also have the pioneer flx6. how do I use my numark DJ2Go touch on my already installed Serato Pro without having to upgrade and pay for the upgrade

[@digitaldjtips]

You can't, as you don't actually own Serato DJ Pro, the FLX6 is unlocking it for you. You'd have to actually buy it.

Good evening. I read that the controller does not record, but from the running pc can it be done? I would like to buy the Numark pt01 and record what I do. Could I do it with the Numark djgo2 touch? Otherwise what mixer or controller would I need? Thanks so much!

Hi, I'm not sure if anyone can help. I have the dj2go2 and I'm having an issue with a delay in the headphones. So the track is playing from the deck and im queuing up the next track to mix in. The track that is to be mixed in and whilst im listening via the headphone to the 2nd track to mix in are out of sync even though I'm listening to the track in my headphone. Its just not playing at the same time snd appears to be some latency, It's very frustrating. I've tried a couple of different headsets so it's not that. Can anyone help. At the moment I'm just playing through my laptop speakers but I've also tried playing through a speaker and it's just the same. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers. Paul

[@duboi1475]

I wish Denon , Pioneer , and serato would make a small compact controller similar to this specifically for beat grid editing and preparation (not performance) no eqs basic ability to play two tracks together via sync to ensure maybe your mix out cue and starting point on another track worked together. I think if they could make it affordable enough it would be a great product.

[@djace5191]

it really is a great product especially for pro DJs that have regular setups as well! (I have Rane 12's and a 72)

[@duboi1475]

DJ Ace Yeah man. I would love to have some kind of tactile/compact grid editing tool that I could take on trips or just do prep while sitting on my bed with the laptop. no output needed, just headphones and a way to access grid edit functions and set cue points.

Thank you for the nice review! I have one unanswered question though. In case I just wanted to mix some music for myself at home without headphones, could I just connect my laptop with some bluetooth speakers or would the speakers need to be connected directly with the DJ2GO? Thank you in advance!

[@digitaldjtips]

Not easily - you'd have to connect your speaker with a wire to the DJ2GO2.

[@q4short]

FYI, most Bluetooth speakers that have an aux in have latency and delay so you can’t really dj with them. The minirig speakers don’t but they’re expensive. Best solution I found is using computer AC speakers

[@manbearpig5346]

Great video with lots of detail. I need a bit of help though. I'm thinking to get my first DJ controller. It's either the DJ2GO2 Touch or the Party Mix. I'm leaning towards the DJ2GO2 Touch because of its form factor, but the absence of line faders worries me. Is it a big deal they these only have a cross fader? Would the Party Mix be a better choice for starting out?

I'd go for the Party Mix, it's super small as well and channel faders are nice to have when learning to mix

Nice review, thanks Phil. Quick one, is it possible to have this (or any other controller like this one) connected to your laptop along side a Pioneer DJM Mixer (DJM-450 for example)? basically use the mixer as a mixer and soundcard etc and have the controller to control the tracks etc in parallel? Also does this work with Traktor Pro 3? Thanks

DJM-450 doesn't have a sound card, so no. You could map this to Traktor Pro 3.

[@itxofficial8281]

Even WITH the Touch upgrade, it's not a very good compact controller tbh. I bought it as a backup to prepare playlists and maybe spin at small parties, i.e. a BBQ at my friend's house. But even for that, it's a pain in the a** really. The main reason is the lack of EQs - try mixing two house tracks with a heavy bassline without distortion, if no EQs are present at all! I did a little workaround by remapping the level knobs to HPF/LPF, so that I could at least fade out some bass by applying a slight HPF effect. Still, I kinda regret buying this thing, but then again, it only cost me around 60€ which isn't too much to worry about.

[@newbraskia.3992]

Do not feel bad bro I have done the same thing. I was hoping that the guitar center had the touch but allegedly they were sold out so I pick up the DJ2GO2 FOR $65.00 which was not bad but really wanted the touch.
