Numark NS4FX Review - Good Mixer, Questionable Mics

[@technomikelyons]

I just bought the NS4FX last week and am loving it. I tried both Mic inputs and mine sounded fine. I started with the level all the way down and tone in the middle position, then brought it up as I spoke into it, and I experienced no distortion. I find it hard to believe something like that would get past Quality Control. It might be a matter of finding the right settings.

[@Reedtechnology]

I really appreciate the super honest and informative review. Thanks!

Actualmente poseo una Hercules Inpulse 500 y mi maquina anterior era una Numark Mixtrack Platinum FX y me encantaba y definitivamente, esta NS4FX será mi próxima máquina

[@waynehartridge3927]

I bought my NS4FX from Guitar Center in Virginia about a month ago. I love the mixer (which I use with Virtual DJ) by the way. Like you I think the microphone sounds horrible. I had to by a small PA board just to get a clean mic sound. Thanks for the review

[@juanitosvlogjourney4148]

I have a question for you about ns4fx with virtual would yours give you problems with scratching because my left deck won’t scratch only my right side

[@djprasadremix]

Beat jump is working with virtual dj on this controller?

[@FernandoHenao-gd4io]

Numark NS4-FX Mic Solution/Workaround: 1. Ge/Buy an RCA to female XLR cable 2. Plug in the RCA to the RCA Aux - White and Red. 3. Plug the Mic to the other end of the cable: The XLR female end 4. The Mic1 / Line Button Switch -- Set it to Line. That's it. Now you have a perfectly sounding Microphone with NO distortion.

[@ClevelandTerry]

Or, it could just work as intended. :-)

[@diewahrenxakten]

Great advice, thanks, however downside is that you occupy the line input for your back up source.

Hi Cleveland Terry, Can I setup Extra DJ Turntables with the Numark NS4FX is it possible, and what is required Thanks.

[@alessandrolibrandi9872]

Any?

[@mikkliish]

hey @cleveland... you can get full kill EQ on the ddj-400... you can change the EQ mode in rekordbox

[@flashmania1256]

Veeeery6 good review. I noticed you work "on the fly". I use to this: Who knows how to do do live! And You did it. Contrats. I'm one step to buy this controller🍔

[@djkenneyhollywoodhart]

Good review. That mic thing is a thing even if sound on sound blend/ ride DJs don't use them often. I hope Numark is listening. 💯 DJ Kenney "Hollywood" Hart (retired)

[@MrEvanTea]

I'm in 2 minds, I don't know weather to buy the Numark NS4FX or the Pioneer Rev 1....?

[@jamesmitchell-q2b]

ns4fx is good no complaints i just got mines

[@deejayrepeattvofficial]

whatsup Cleveland...nice Jon and good info brah!!!

[@AngelRodriguez-mg6xw]

Need some help there is no video or anything on the web. When I push the cue button I hear only one side and hear when I mix. Also the cue gain knob when I turn it up it turns the master volume up.

[@imaniinternational7853]

Question..What are the upgrades for the NS4FX? Everything is lagging - scratching , cue pads , sound FX all delayed!

[@billle5159]

Laptop

[@djxcel23]

I always plug a controller into a mixing board & also plug the mic into the board.. the sound cards are not too good on some.

[@mrmavioso2065]

I concur... I've never plugged my mics to controllers.👍🏾🖤💯

[@ClevelandTerry]

While I agree, the higher end models like the rev 7 etc have excellent cards.

[@djxcel23]

@@ClevelandTerry the numark ns7 series controllers had the best sound so far i havent heard anything match that

[@Ready2Ride08]

@@ClevelandTerrywell the higher end models cost more money for a reason. No DJ should be running mic’s thru the controller, especially at an event. This is a notch above entry level so idk what anyone was expecting from the mics.

[@mangadolo]

Think this is better than the Panasonic FLX? Similar price point.

[@moeberry3256]

CT good stuff, thank you

[@victoranderson1]

I need to know if you can manual loop as I can't find how to do it rather than auto loop. Please Explain

[@ClevelandTerry]

Use the in and out buttons on the loop in the jog corners.

[@victoranderson1]

@@ClevelandTerry Its not letting me create my own loops. It just starts a new loop. ie on the mixtrack pro. You are able to do that. Can you explain in more detail how to manually loop without the auto loop. That would be very helpful. Thanks in advance

[@victoranderson1]

@@ClevelandTerry So what I'm asking is can the auto loop be taken off and be used manually

[@djroyal_llc]

Thank You For This! I Actually Have Been Experiencing The Same Issue With The Mic Outputs And I Went To GC And They Tested Out Another One While I Was There And It Was The Same Issue. So I’m Assuming That It’s Just The Board Itself; Maybe Something Numark Has To Fix On Their End Possibly.

[@djroyal_llc]

@@NumarkVideo Hey! Awesome! Thank You So Much For Responding To Me And Providing Me With The Information! I’m A Frequent Numark User And A Personal Fan Of Their Products, So I’d Love To Have This Worked On! Thanks Again!

[@imaniinternational7853]

The scratching on on this seems really inaccurate. Is there a fix?

[@vasilicasprincenatu5108]

Just purchased one 2 months ago from UK, and I paid 390£

[@mangadolo]

San Jo!!! Yeah #BayArea 💥✊🏽

[@SecurityVR0]

Pro is monthly is it not?

[@djshelin]

Someone please help me, can this controller be fully mapped with virtual dj, i mean custom mapping can be done? For eg i dont like the default lowpass highpass effect, can i change the mapping? Etc etc

[@ClevelandTerry]

Yes you can

[@djshelin]

@@ClevelandTerry thank you

[@djshelin]

Sir iam really very confused between this & traktor s3, both are supported by virtual dj which i operate on. Can you please help? which one to go for ?

[@WEF-APOPHIS-2029]

can't belive they (Numark) did'nt make the pads RGB adding pro will cost another $200 which makes this a $700 machine,,

[@CarlosMunoz1980]

You're behind Terry. The big news is djay pro with dvs

[@armgod1]

lol!

[@Djdavejes]

Thanks!

[@ClevelandTerry]

Thank you!

[@scratch1200s]

You were at GC in San Jose? Are you a Bay Area native? Yee 😎

[@PaulRicoTV]

I send my mic thru my Apollo Twin but will test this out.

[@OgDj2024]

So, the performance platters don’t spin?

[@ClevelandTerry]

No

[@thomasmatthews80]

You call them boards in us?

[@ClevelandTerry]

I can't speak for everyone but I do.

[@djsakis565]

Can play with virtual dj???

[@ClevelandTerry]

yes

[@JoshBains]

NS4FX or FLX6? 👀

[@atypical_blk_guy]

If you're a serato user, go with the numark. The flx6 isn't laid out for serato. The pad modes and labels are setup for rekordbox. You at least get pro outputs on the numark

[@JoshBains]

@@atypical_blk_guy appreciate the advice thanks.

[@Djshawndawg434]

FLX6 HAS JOGWHEEL ISSUES I HAVE ONE SO DOES OTHER DJS THAT USE IT

[@leonardkiangi8538]

Is it limited to serato dj lite or Pro

[@ClevelandTerry]

Your answer is in the video

[@dooshmasta]

The jogs don’t feel good for scratching. They are way too heavy and tiring. It’s sad because it would be the perfect controller for hip-hop and open format DJs but they messed up the most important part.

[@thedjboothohio]

I wonder how a -20db attenuator would affect the mic levels?

[@hipfan5306]

Just tested one last night. Mic is awful runs really hot ,distortion.

[@officialrapprod]

Got one for Xmas.... haven't DJ'd for 10 years and oldskool vinyl... so this is my entry into controllers..

Looks like an old Traktor controller
