SCRIPT:
This is Numark’s newest DJ controller, geared towards beginners who wanna to get started in DJing.
Included in the Platinum FX, besides the basics, is Serato DJ Lite, two 6 inch capacitive jog wheels with - built-in color displays, 4 deck capabilities, 16 performance pads, 4 inch tempo faders, and exclusive FX paddles - similar to the ones on the Pioneer DJM-S9 and Rane 72.
Starting with the performance pads, they have a solid feel to them and are pretty responsive.
On the right side of each deck, you have a long 4 inch tempo slider similar to professional-grade equipment; which is often not present on small controllers.
I particularly love this, as it makes it super fun and easy to Beat match tracks, and adjust BPM’s.
In the center of each jogwheel is a built in color screen, which makes viewing important track details, such as their position, BPM, and running time, a lot more easier.
These jogwheels feel excellent when beat matching tracks. Their size and weight makes making precise beat and tempo adjustments quick and easy.
Now, moving to the mixer section, you have your standard 3-band EQ, volume faders, crossfaders and track selection knob. And all these components feel solid. Especially the faders. They all feel buttery smooth.
But the game changing feature of this controller, is the FX section. Numark decided to go with FX paddles for this unit, and I find them incredibly intuitive and fun to use.
The quality of the paddle is amazing and with how much weight you can feel when using them - I’d even argue that they feel better than the S9. Also, having dedicated buttons to select your desired FX such as Echo, reverb and more, is also great for selecting effects on the fly. It definitely beats going to your laptop, and selecting each effect one by one.
Speaking of laptop, this controller’s software of choice is Serato. And it works perfectly with Lite and Pro. Every feature and functionality this controller offers, integrates wonderfully and smoothly with the software regardless of versions.
And 90% of all your DJ needs as a beginner, can definitely be answered with this controller, and Serato DJ Lite

Best entry level controller of 2020/21 Just purchased one of these and could not be happier, first mix sounded like it was out of a club. If you are planning on manual beatmatching DO NOT I repeat do not buy a pioneer entry level controller, the pitch faders on them are so small and sensitive it's a beyond a joke and the DDJ-SB3 doesn't even have a cue mix button for mixing through your headphones late at night, thank you numark !!!

[@fsvieira7965]

This is on the price range of the next dj controller for me to buy but the fact it uses serato with limited features still makes me put a foot back and buy ddj400 instead. For the same price I don't have to worry about the software

[@djcarlo]

That's something to consider as well! Hope you get a controller soon!

[@Midaspl]

Yeah... Unless you plan going for a video mixing (something I could find only in Serato, although it's a plugin that costs additional 99$ on top of pro version), or you already have the software, I'd rather go for DDJ-400.

[@philiptomlinson4201]

The selling point for me was the effects section and the opportunity to access the other two decks - something which not many DJ's will particularly go for, but great if you want to use a looping rhythm to mix two instrumental outro's/intros without losing energy, also for fast drum and bass mixes. I do like the fact that Rekordbox is geared up for exporting playlists with full analysis info, hot cues and CDJ settings etc, but you can do that (more painfully) in the free version and I like that you can stream Tidal in Serato too. I think both the DDJ 400 and the platinum FX both have their strengths - both great controllers for their prices!

[@guido69x]

this controller works even better with Virtual dj than with Serato,besides the Stems its also possible to video mixing.And Rekordbox is about to be payed with a monthly subscription.

[@A2KLAU]

I own the previous version the Mixtrack Platinum and have found the effects strength using the touch sensitive slide bar at the top not too user friendly. It’s fab for skipping through a song quickly though, which the Mixtrack FX doesn’t seem to have. I’m definitely torn between sticking and upgrading, but at the same time I’m just a bedroom DJ so don’t think I can handle anything too fancy yet and justify the upgrade to my wife who already puts up enough of me 😅

[@djcarlo]

Lol thanks for sharing, lad. Hmmm perhaps you can get something your wife would like hahah

[@A2KLAU]

DJ Carlo Atendido hahah well my current controller was my birthday present 1.5 years ago from her, but it’s only since lockdown have I found your amazing channel and been following your tutorials that I’ve discovered lots of new ways for transitions and techniques, although most have been on your DDJ-400 and using Rekordbox DJ I’ve found it can be replicated on the Mixtrack, but I’m still on Serato Lite, which doesn’t give me options for the brake function when pressing the play/pause button and cross fader for scratching.

[@djrxmx]

IMO, this is the best entry level controller put out by Numark to date, based on what I've seen. I've never been a big fan of the previous controllers in the entry level range by Numark, but it appears that the manufacturer has hit a grand slam with this one. I want it!

[@djcarlo]

That's true! It feels pretty premium to me!

[@djrxmx]

@@djcarlo I've been playing with mixers since 1984 (yes, I'm old, lol), and I didn't get into using digital controllers until 2009. I've never been really wowed by Numark budget controllers in the past, even though these products have been highly regarded and considered excellent value buys by the consumers. But, once again, there's something about this controller that has really peaked my interest. Evidently the build quality is really good for a device at the price point. The big jog wheels and tempo sliders combined with a really tight design (but not too compact) are real selling points, if you ask me. By the way, keep up the great tutorials and reviews. You're excellent at what you do.

[@daviebhoy6794]

Started off with the Mixtrack Pro 3. Great for learners, although the loop and auto loop function was a bit confusing compared to the DDJ 400 I got next. Hopefully they improved that side of it. That aside, I'd recommend it to anyone looking to buy their 1st controller

Hoping Pioneer try to match this by updating their DDJ 400 or 200. Numark produces good hardware but there’s no point in owning one for me if I need my music in rekordbox for the club setups

[@djcarlo]

That makes sense as well! Perhaps Pioneer DJ will, but due to COVID-19. I'm sure there will be delays!

[@afcnoonan]

Hey I’m starting to get into DJing and trying to get my first set of decks. I’ve been really looking at the DDJ 400s but with what’s going on at the moment. I’m not able to get them delivered to me till June/July time at the earliest. Could you maybe do some sort of comparison of these decks to the 400s and would these work with rekordbox? I’d like a controller which isn’t too basic and easy that it can get a bit boring but nothing too complicated or hard to start with

[@djcarlo]

This won't work with Rekordbox DJ, but that is a good idea! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@weynnetarranza7304]

I hope Dj Carlo can make a comparison between these two controllers.

[@Gontie1]

It is really annoying always categorize hardware for noobies when having that much functions. Recently been on a party with a DJ mixing with CDJ's, DJM and Serato and the DJ was unable to tell me how to perform loop and effects when he let me mix for 30 minutes. I noticed that during the hole night, he never used loops, stems or effects. Not that this is bad but this controller have more functions that what this CDJ/DJM dj was using in Serato. Since i have this device as backup device and at the end, it will be my main device. I've found a way to use any effect you want. Map each effect button to a ON button effects and map the Dry/Wet to all the 6 knobs to manage the effect intensity. There you are, it does work really well. You are not longer limited to the default effects. You cannot just perform an effect at the same time on each deck which i personally never do. You can also map the HOLD and ON button to something, for instance to change the effect banks. Other than that, i found the volume output of this controller really high and it sounds really great, very neutral, much better than the Hercules 500, Mixon 4 which i tested both. Only downside of this controller is that the Jogwheel are slightly too sensitive, the long pitch faders are great but a bit to close to the jogwheels. Other than that it is really great.Just use a small audio mixer to have XLR and that will do the work.

[@djcarlo]

Thanks for your take on it Gontie!

Hi Dj Carlo, i have a simple question: how much big of a trauma Will be moving from a Vestax vci380mk2 to this, regarding the faders? I'm not a turntablist as good ad you but i like my faders smooth and responsive. You Say they are so but how they stand a ccomparison with Vestax? I'm looking into this controller because of the Rotary led on the screens. When i do jughling or scratch Is too hard for me to go back to the start point precisely. Thanks and big up!

[@djcarlo]

Great concerns! I actually wouldn't recommend this one for scratching because the jog wheels are pretty heavy. The faders start out tight, but loosen up over time. Now the only thing is, I've never used the Vestax one so I don't have any point of comparison

Hi DJ Carlo, thank you very much for your videos that help a lot. I follow your scratch videos and I love how you scratch on this Anderson Paak remix. Can you make a video tutorial to reproduce this scratch (scratch transformers)?

[@cooldeejayhotice8652]

I love it so the player so much that I wish I could get it as my birthday gift by June 3... anyway like someone said right below the comment box it is not the player that is good but the person using it,,, YOU ARE THE BEST KEEP INSPIRING US GOD BLESS YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO,, CUZ U ARE DOING A GREAT JOB...

[@williameckhart8263]

DDJ 400 still beats it, but only cuz of free software. If Mixtrack Platinum FX at least included 50%off Serato voucher or, like Roland 202 come out in limited series with full Serato included THAT would give DDJ 400 serious run. But this one deffo beats SB 3 if only by giving user full pitch faders. BTW Carlo, i know that' ll unlikely to happen but i would've love to hear you opinion on Mixars Primo. That controller is basically SR2 done right.

[@djcarlo]

That's true! I wish it came with pro! But oh well! Sorry I'm not updated with that!

[@melochristopherelgincolin6309]

the Numark definitely packs the functionality in a small package but lacks the selection for output ports. Definitely on my wishlist. Side note. Can DJ Carlo use it for some KPop EDM mix? I can provide a playlist 🙃

[@djcarlo]

Good point you make there, but the controller is really for beginners, but I get ya! Kpop mix? Sure send me a tracklist to [e-mail]

[@melochristopherelgincolin6309]

Here's my selection for KPop songs that are I think perfect for mix open.spotify.com/playlist/0YO3bvkMmRT2qZ9k8R8cky?si=MBjNCnj8Q8KguM8k4TLorQ Ps. You're the coolest DJ props on being so awesome

[@joshuaosei2189]

Is the Denon Prime Go Dj Set coming or not ? : )

[@djcarlo]

We shall see!

[@ahanray]

Which one is better ddj 400 or numark? Since they are in the same price range.

[@djcarlo]

Depends on the software you wanna use!

[@dawnd8037]

That was real helpful my friend. Sorry to ask, but if you had to compare this with the ddj-400 which one is better. Being a turntable DJ like myself looking for my first controller. Stay safe bro 👍

[@afrodje-nice5625]

Why Carlos why do you scratch so well no matter the tension of the jog wheel.... Nice review

[@djcarlo]

Tons of practice and tons of takes lol

[@waidebraaf2690]

Those fx paddles are dope

[@djcarlo]

They really are! They're super fun to use as well :)

[@sc6015]

Hey Dj Carlo got a question buddy I currently started a few months ago with a ddj400 but want to upgrade and go with Serato so that I can stream via Tidal any recommendations thinking about picking up a ddj sx3 or maybe even getting turntables with the s9 mixer as I love to scratch and mix lol your videos inspire me. Watch em everyday. Thanks in advance!

[@XEinstein]

Does it have split cue?

[@djcarlo]

Yes it does!

[@XEinstein]

@@djcarlo cool! Then this seems like a good portable unit for next to my NS6

[@eldiablo5092]

So could we get away with scratching mixing on this. I know there quite small to use.

[@djcarlo]

Yup you can! And the Platinum FX is actually pretty sizeable; good big jog wheels. I've scratched on much smaller controllers, and this one is much easier to scratch on that those haha

[@tritonrecordings]

I use a Prime 2 and this...I have to say the value for money is unmatched.

[@kinggaines24]

I just started djing and Im currently using the numarktrack mixtrack platinum that came out in 2016 I believe. I really just started using it a couple months ago! Do you believe the latest version is worth the upgrade for a newbie?

[@djcarlo]

Nope! Get something more professional!

[@ridiculousss859]

hi carlos would u suggest this or the ddj 400, i hear good things about this controller, and i like the digital jog wheels but i have been seeing some reviews of people saying they can hear a whining type of sound sometimes, and this can be caused by poorly built electronics have you ever had the issue with this controller?

[@djcarlo]

None at all! This controller has worked perfectly for me. But, if you're a Rekordbox user, you can go for the 400. If you're on Serato, go with this one

[@davidborn5845]

Got one 2 years ago, the build feels great. But i must say that my cross-fader and left-jogwheel already have issues (bleeding fader and lagging jogwheel sensor). I did get at least 200 hours and multiple house party gigs out of it though but compared to pioneer controllers, it doesn't have longevity. I will take a ddj over a Numark next time.

[@djcarlo]

I've heard that there are some weird internal issues after a while! Love the build, but the insides seem to need a little extra refining

[@davidborn5845]

@@djcarlo holy crap you actually saw and reacted to my comment after 2 years of upload. I love the community that you have built man! Much love from the Netherlands🇳🇱❤️

[@sunlbx]

hey, does yours also act funny when you drag both channel faders down at the same time? mine reduces the volume of the right deck smoothly, while the left deck volume goes down in abrupt jumps. also, the sluggishness of the jogwheel might be a grounding issue. mine is not lagging if i am on battery, and it tends to be weird when on AC power

[@davidborn5845]

@@sunlbx i dont have quite the same issues. But when searching the internet i see that the fader issues are all quite common. I upgraded to an flx6 and have been loving it so far.

[@ariodj5117]

People are comparing this to the DDJ400 but this is almost like a DDJ800 for people who want serato

[@djcarlo]

Hmmm not really. The 800 is way better than this!

@@djcarlo fair enough! Looking forward to seeing more controllers in that price range though

Do you think it’s worth to upgrade to Serato Dj Pro?

100% yes! So many more amazing features!

My ns7II isnt compatible with the new macOS would this controller be considered a downgrade? All answers highly appreciated!!

Hi! Will get back to you on this!

[@Lamontecristo]

@@djcarlo thank you!!

[@abhishekpurohit2989]

Hey I’m actually looking forward to buy my first controller but im confused between ddj400, sb3 and this one. Can you suggest me one which you think would be a better choice?!

[@djcarlo]

Great suggestion for a video! Let me get into it!

[@zayneh4748]

i would suggest the ddj400, i want it but i cant get it because of a financial crisis in my country. it just has the cleanest look and in my opinion the best software to mix on

[@roaravi]

Go for Ddj 400...nothing beats the controller with the trusted Pioneer brand....that comes along with a full version of Rekordbox software and aslo in the same price range..!

[@MidnightDeLorean]

@@roaravi I don't think it does come with the full version of rekordbox anymore . I bought the DDJ 400 two weeks ago . Though It came with a full license key for rekordbox dj, when I downloaded the software it said " license key does not work with version 6.0 " so sadly, I had to subscribe to a monthly plan .

[@scar7635]

You can still use Rekorbox 5. But with Rekorbox 6, is it mandatory to pay or is there a free version ?

[@masstransita-trane9058]

Just curious which one would you prefer pioneer sb3 or the NuMark platinum ? Both are $250.. hope to hear from you.

[@djcarlo]

Hello there! I got a review of them including the other two here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGbUe2NrfLV3q9E

[@slymothertrucker3597]

So which one - ddj400 Dennon MC4 Numark Platinum FX Help?????

[@djcarlo]

Well, if you're still mixed up on it, watch this! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmS2lXmFfpeJeZY

[@XxXStoneFingerXxX]

The controller itself was hardly ever in camera focus throughout the video. Maybe add a little more b-roll to show off more of the unit next time? The section to the right of the performance pads was never shown also. I know i could go to the product page for more info, but just casually watching product videos, it would be more convenient.

[@djcarlo]

Good suggestion! Thanks for the input. I'll learn and get better :)

[@kng5063]

Hey Carlo, great videos as always. Have you tried this controller with an ipad? Algoriddim? I'm curious to see if it works

[@djcarlo]

I haven't! But that's an interesting suggestion!

[@ZigTek]

So Did you try it with Ipad yet is it’s compatible?

[@keano7165]

Hi DJ Carlo. Would you say the newmark or the ddj 400 is best for beginner DJ. Thanks 🙏🏻

[@djcarlo]

Depends on the software you want!
