Review: Numark Mixstream Pro | Tips and Tricks

Numark's Mixstream Pro all-in-one device is the first piece of non-Denon DJ hardware to support the embedded Engine OS operating system. Available for a substantially lower cost than other Engine-powered devices, has anything been lost in the transition? Mojaxx brings us his full review.

Great review Mojaxx!

[@VinniTheFred]

I have to say I really like his way of reviewing stuff. He's always positive even while explaining the downsides of a device and gives it the credit it deserves. No bashing or hating, keep up that work 👍

[@aaronw4537]

Best DJ gear reviewer on YT for sure.

[@m-stat9]

💯 agreed

[@MyAlteredSoul]

This fills the void for Engine in the beginner DJ market. Personally I am super impressed.

[@elecsoulmusic]

Great innovation from the INMUSIC team! This is certainly something I could use for childrens DJ workshops.

[@SegunShabazAbatanEntertains]

Exactly

[@djparadime]

What's up man! I did an awesome review also of the Numark and also got $100 OFF promo for it if anyone wants it, the latest vide on my channel! Peace y'all! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmrSnoKmfsyBrdE

[@elecsoulmusic]

Just purchased the Mixstream Pro for my workshop students to use next week. We have a full pioneer CDJ set in the studio but need separate units to unable more students to practice and enhance skills. I’ll let you know how it goes next week!

[@djparadime]

@@elecsoulmusic Yeah man LMK, I can't wait to have it ion my free workshop here for my foundation also!

[@Exotiq.]

Denon, engine DJ and in music are really stepping up their game! They really are moving towards the future of dj’s everywhere this is really exciting!

[@adriannavarro2536]

This might be my own bias, full disclosure I’m NOT a DJ, but I find it hard to take dj’s seriously with equipment like this. I get it intermediate dj’s for sure, I’m definitely bias. I mean cool product but I wouldn’t play this out anywhere

[@Exotiq.]

@@adriannavarro2536 yea you’re right I wouldn’t take it to a club or festival but to have at home and practice without having to use a laptop is really cool especially at this price point. I like the idea of not having to look up, left or right to look at another screen I like to focus on what’s right on front of me and that’s why I think a player like this is definitely moving in the right direction for inmusic 👍🏼

[@lavishlifedjs]

@@adriannavarro2536 honestly if you’re rocking a party and performing like a pro I don’t think anyone would care…

[@adriannavarro2536]

@@Exotiq. that’s a really good insight, I agree with you 100%

[@adriannavarro2536]

@@lavishlifedjs I partially agree I guess. It’s just a personal opinion of mine, it feels like a leapfrog computer vs an Alienware. Don’t get me wrong is a really good product for what it is. But almost every prominent DJ is either on CDJ’s or have a some super complex midi controller setup.

[@PartyAnimalDJ]

Many Thanks! I just placed my order for one that should arrive tomorrow! Can't wait to get started!! :)

[@leesinthemix]

Soundswitch is also part of the InMusic umbrella. Worth mentioning!

[@Ziggy_v2]

This is perfect for me - I was looking for a backup for the Prime4.

[@MrOldSkoolMan]

Yes, me too. Hopefully will never need to use a backup but nonetheless, it's important to have one. Was planning on the Prime Go but this cheaper Numark fits the bill with the Engine OS & XLR out. Ideal for practice sessions without firing up the P4 too. Can't complain at £400 cheaper than the Prime Go.

[@ChrisPerryBK]

Yes been waiting for this for years now.....TAKE MY MONEEEEEY

[@DJ_Cue]

InMusic = innovation; Pioneer = MIA 🤠

[@judgegiuls6058]

For mobile dj this will be the best tool hands down! No more laptops!

[@proverbialwhatever]

I feel silly saying 'I told you so' to myself, but it's cool seeing that this came to fruition! That said, it feels a bit weird seeing Denon's waveform colour scheme with Numark, who's historically been red. The inbuilt speakers were VERY surprising in terms of volume and the frequency range, at least in terms of how it was picked up by Mojaxx's microphone.

[@JohnnyBlaze6954]

Always wanted to learn how to mix. Just picked up the mixstream pro GO! It’s like a boombox on steroids! This thing is awesome!

[@thagreatone3139]

Definitely something great

[@jerrardbeasley4247]

I've been thinking about switching from Traktor to Prime/Engine, but price has always been a factor, this might have just eleminated that factor.

[@54dbruno]

If you play dance music then traktor is easily the best... S8 or a F1 remapped to dj with is what I use perfect

[@househeadspeakz]

I've looking for a standalone system but this also is a great portable backup system as well. Just think. If you run across a not-so-good DJ system or something happens while playing your set, You can plug this into pro speakers, use your Wifi hotspot on your phone and you are back on track. Besides, I feel it would be good to learn a different DJ software and Engine has done some major improvements.

[@m-stat9]

I fully agree! Similar plan which I have. Secondary device for fun sessions PLUS a nice backup!

[@mike._.feliciano6782]

InMusic, Numark successfully did what Pioneer tried to do with the Flex 6 (a major fail), for the same price point. You get more with this product so its a win for a beginner.

[@djparadime]

[@m-stat9]

Fully agreed! The FLX6 was a bloody, overpriced TikTok joke. This unit however is nice! Especially with FW 2.2

[@apexpredator_jku]

Drooling over the possibility of a Standalone Rane One with Engine OS

[@rubenbjerregaard9455]

I am thinking the exact same!!!

[@djrevencutaran8341]

My Expectation is correct 🥰🥰🥰 Engine Dj Os will be coming in the INMUSIC Company DJ Products 💯✅ I got it right 🥰

[@MichieldeBink]

I have the CDJ-3000's, but this looks so much fun

[@adrianmiszczuk8061]

The funniest and cool thing is you can connect analog synth to Mic so it add this sounds to your mixed drums at decks :)

[@LonkDonk]

love it!

[@aaronunderwood5436]

Wow,! Amazing 👍 thank you. I do have a question if you have a moment. Assuming I have a microphone plugged into the Mixstream Pro, will the microphone WORK in Record mode? I am trying to make sure I can record my voice over my mixes. Thanks and any help is great. Blessed. 👍 😎

[@DJFlex1]

It looks like fun!! However, would love to see the standalone Rane One like this. With onboard affect. And not to forget the moving platters. Would be happy to pay £1800 for sometime like that, as I payed £1300 for the Rane one.

[@SegunShabazAbatanEntertains]

This is definitely coming in for my Son ! It’s a good one for children training, no complexity for laptop and speakers. Correct!

How about samples, like horn and Lazer effects? Are you able to change the pads to that?

Will it read mp4 format files as audio file my library consists of lots of mp4 without the visuals

[@mndgmesvisuals6564]

impressive unit for the price. kinda wish they swapped phaser for reverb though. I don't know a single person that uses phaser.

[@mikehanna120]

11:16 how did u manage to display the bpm&key for the songs? i tried so many ways analyzing in engine dj and exporting to my usb the analyzed tracks and still cant see the bpm&keys on my mixstream pro, i only see the song name and artist, even if i select metadata on the mixstream, could u please walk me through step by step on how to do it?

[@djquaver7607]

i have a question ，where is the sampler？if i need the sampler ，will i buy this controller？

[@DjBahrain]

This device will change the game! Prime & numark cooperation had made something here & I guess it will change the industry, just imagine future Rane one with prime engine! & guess what Serato will make more effort building there own device Os! Oooh & Battle mixers with built in Serato or engine prime with Akai pad, wow & ummm do you think that possible ?!

[@vdjakut222]

Didnt qbert work on a thudrumble device with serato/traktor build in a few years back? Whatever happen to that i wonder...

[@rizlumanlan8540]

Can’t wait to see a bigger version with bigger speakers and more control pads ,maybe move the speakers to the top instead

[@Gaztravels]

I got one of these today, what can I use to stream on TikTok from my mobile? Irig2?

[@Bricks56]

Is there any controller that can record your stream? Doubt it but thought I would ask anyways.

[@RevMacGuillicutty3735]

Would you please do a review of the Gemini SDJ400?

[@lavishlifedjs]

Can you switch out the crossfader to something like the innofader on this unit ?

[@kekeke1201]

Big question is wether in the future this would allow external MIDI devices being hooked up to the Mixstream main device and map Engine function onto those external devices to extend the control and usability.

[@misszenos8590]

Vía Link go all Sync but Mixstream is not a Controller

[@artdog9521]

’m waiting for the UPGRADE of the NUMARK NS7III I can see how this would look 👀 with LARGER SPINNING PLATTERS, 4 CHANNELS with LARGER SCREEN yes let’s go NUMARK!!!! The NUMARK NS7III is the FIRST and BEST CONTROLLER hands down because it’s still being COMPARED to NEW CONTROLLERS of TODAY Great Job NUMARK!!!!

[@MySoundboy]

Very wonderful product wish that it can be used with a computer just like Serato on virtual DJ programs if that option is available it would be a perfect by purchase

[@Mojaxx]

As other Engine products do work with software, there’s no reason it couldn’t, so fingers crossed!

[@philiprenner2416]

How do you use DJ drops with the machine?

[@AndrewAston-ip2vr]

Newby here... I have 500gb of music on a hard drive but it the MS Pro does not find the files. I have tried copying section onto a formatted flash drive but it still does not work. Any clues please?

[@michaeljohansson2593]

Can you record if you use Tidal or does it only work from tracks on usb?

[@m-stat9]

Only offline songs. But this goes for ALL streaming services and DJ gear due to legal reasons :(

[@DjDeazyTz]

Can it be used with a computer? And one more question about another controller, Can Denon Prime be used with a computer to do live sets?

[@LonkDonk]

No, not yet at least. The point of this unit is to not use it with a computer - if you want a pure controller you could save a bundle and get the Mixtrack series

[@ZerHour]

A 4 channel version would be super sick

[@acewolf1]

Denon took over Numark!!

[@m-stat9]

Denon and Numark are in the same InMusic family - which is awesome! Lots of future potential 🔥

I've been under a rock. Work and depression had me forgotten about DJing. Although, good to know. :')

when someone gonna make a video how to connect dmx lights like moving heads Par etc not a Gigbar plz and will this unit autoscript automatically (Soundswitch) all songs or I still need my laptop

[@ThePatriotParadox]

No manual loops (in & out)? & no adjustments of your effects? Pretty cool, but almost would wanna just use some older kit with my laptop and good software, but I like the concept, too much discrepancies for the 400 this should be like 400$ but if u really just want stand alone with the Denon OS it's ok

[@blakemartino3412]

does anyone know how to increase the wavelength zoom on the mixstream pro. Not just zoom in/out with your fingers but be able to see farther ahead into the track. I see it in engine but not on the hardware

[@m-stat9]

Not possible - yet. But requested in the forum. Moving the playhead marker a bit so it shows more of the track farther ahead!

[@anjdelgado482]

I’m so frustrated. I just got my new controller and I can’t mirror it with my laptop. I have virtual dj 8. I updated the controller and virtual dj program too. Still I don’t have positive results 😢

[@XTREMERACINGMEXICO]

Hey guys ! Where is the master tempo on these units ?

[@OT83]

Nowadays with streaming DJs, do you really need expensive high end hardware? The OS is the key for this product. DJs and ppl are simple,: reliable workflow, no MacBook needed, a few thumb drives and you are good to go. Curios about them speakers

[@raymondlorenzo1775]

Well it's strange product, but I see in the future a big step brother with four channels sixteen pads, like Numark NS6ii type of controller, it will be awesome!

[@baldmandj4559]

I InMusic already has the Prime 4. This fills the beginner gap at the bottom of the Engine OS range quite nicely though.

[@tigerdaytona]

Can you record on the 2nd USB?

[@m-stat9]

Yes. You can pick between your connected devices (USB 1, 2, SD)

[@jamesveney3651]

Can you use with laptop if you want to?

[@PeteShepherd-DJ11]

They included a cable for computer so I think in the future it'll be MIDI mapped for a software as well. But we should ask Numark directly about this.

[@MC-wq4un]

I've heard some say that Mixstream/Engine isn't for professional DJs because it doesn't have sound effect sampler. What do you all think?

[@m-stat9]

Whut?!

[@WUreta]

Why the speakers? Put a battery or 2 sets of pads, longer faders, filter where it should be... Losing about 1/6th of the space there. At 600$, this can be used in small clubs comfortably

[@sebzomaar5289]

But thinking of it playing at small gigs; typically at someones livingroom or garden. You drag some speakers; already decide to go with or without the heavy Sub. So 9 of 10 times you don't take a monitor speaker right!? But now you have it build in. Tune the volume at the right level and it is all good!! I see it working!

[@WUreta]

@@sebzomaar5289 If a party is too loud to use the headphones with cue mix knob, then these won't work either...

[@amosluyk]

Wish they'd left out the speakers and given some fx control, and maybe some more pads. Could have been done for the same price...

[@54dbruno]

I like the speakers idea though... You can have a late mixing session with the speakers not to loud.. If its late or a school nite... Don't have to worry about. The bass on your main speakers as they'll be off

[@xtremeelectronics2862]

✌✌

[@sadboolean8605]

Admire their push to streaming, but Engine OS is so far behind on simple organizational features for streaming--can't pre-analyze tracks, can't sort by BPM (or artist or track I believe), the list goes on...while Serato is not integrated, it's far better at doing this, also allows you to edit / add meta data and create and edit Tidal playlists in the software. Once this changes maybe Engine OS will be a more worthy contender.

[@Mojaxx]

Pre-analysis is still a dream I have, but with Engine 2.0 you can now add streaming tracks to the actual library on your stick/card and then add them to playlists and sort them. Check out the last episode of this series.

[@mateoarv]

But 4 fx only, with no configurable parameters :(
