Күн бұрынNumark Mixtrack Platinum FX Review & Demo - New Serato DJ Lite Controller!
Numark’s Mixtrack Platinum FX is an entry-level four-channel DJ controller for Serato DJ software, and a direct replacement for the Numark Mixtrack Platinum, which came out in 2016. Broadly it improves in all areas on its popular predecessor, and if Serato is your choice of software, it’s a winner.

I bought this based on this review because I needed a smaller controller for mobile gigs and so far I couldn't be happier build quality is super solid love that it's plug-and-play with no adapter needed never thought that I would go back to a Numark mixer but this thing is absolutely the best controller for the money in the business

Numark really came strong with these! The best features are the jog screens, long throw pitch, and the effects switch which is far better than the effects on the 1000srt . Whose idea was it to implement effects like that?? I just wanna activate my effects immediately, not worry about what channel I'm on. The loop functions are redundant, and there should be a standard xlr out at that price point. But overall good controller! This release literally came out of nowhere! Thanks Phil

I regularly watch your reviews and would love to buy this mixer, but Numark and Alto have decided not supply to my local supplier in Bristol or to other smaller shops nationally but will only supply to the larger companies. I understand this is a national issue, so this means if I have to travel to Reading or Birmingham which is bad enough for me but even worse for DJ's further down South. Granted I could order from the internet but I prefer that personal touch, these smaller shops show you how it works before you buy, you can take it back easily when under guarantee, have it pac tested and serviced. They are great for young kids and teenagers looking to get on that DJ step ladder. I know we are living in difficult times but we DJ's need these smaller shops which have been slowly closing down over the years. Thank you for your Video.

The version I have works work by pressing the "Shift + "FX1, FX2, or FX3" buttons. So, it just stands to reason that it works the same way, BUT IT MAY NOT.

@smoothoperator6477 3 жыл бұрын
One important point that I never saw mentioned in videos before I bought mine is that at least half the imported tracks aren't analysed properly by Serato, so you don't get the bpm or loop capability. Personally I use that as an opportunity to mix purely by ear, but it might be important for some. Not sure if that's also the case on Serato Pro. I'm using the Lite version that was included.

Fantastic review, as always. Couple questions: the FX section actives the standard Single FX, but does it allow for usage with Multi FX? Thinking about it in terms of using a specific Echo Out. I suppose this could be done with midi mapping the paddles or does it mapping even recognize Hold and Temporary? How much bigger would this be compared to say a VCI-380? Thanks, Phil!

Maybe it would be possible in Serato DJ Pro. the way it works now is that it activates the first of the three available effect slots simultaneously for both effect engines.

Thank you for the informative review Phil! I recently purchased Algorddims Djay software and noticed that it works with this Numark controller. I imagine that you could re-map the pads to do other things in the DJay software. Have you tried this yet? I am debating whether to move on from Traktor gear to this controller or the Pioneer ddj-400. The Numark's displays are pushing me in that direction because my eyes have gotten worse over time and I want to avoid using the computer for basic info like the bpm and the time of the track, setting cue points during times of a track is essential to apply fx at certain cue points. Seeing the time of a track helps with timing for cues and effects on the fly and for prep work.

Wonderful overview. I'm, thinking about getting this but I'm wondering if it will suite my needs. I have a standard Numark M4 Mixer and 2 Technic MkII turntables, lots of vinyl and a MacBook Pro. I'm hoping that this will somehow tie into my current setup where I can capture samples from my vinyl in the serato software and create custom mixes on my mac. Unfortunately , I didn't see any analog inputs on the controller so not sure how I would funnel my vinyl through this device.. Or is there another device I should look for? Thoughts??Thanks

Thanks for the really nice review,i just bought the specific controller and i think it is a vfm controller,nice and not ''cheapy'' build,nice interface,a nice controller overall at this price range.The only thing that bothered me is the browser features,to be more specific,if you have subfolders at your music collection you can't open and close them through the controller,you have to open and close them manually using either the touchpad of your laptop or with an external mouse.Other controllers does this while holding down shift button and the back or forward button depending on what you wanna do.....i tried to fix this at the midi controller mapping of serato but i couldn't do it so i thig it is not possible,if anyone has any solutuion let me know....

you say the loop is limited by the software, does this mean if you get this and upgrade to Serato Pro then you can loop smaller or is it the software of the unit that is stopping at 1 beat looping?
@digitaldjtips 2 жыл бұрын
Yes, upgrading to Serato DJ Pro will fix the limitation.

5:11 - does it mean, that I can shorten the loop more in the DJ Pro version? Like I also get 8 instead of 4 cue pads? I mean I am going to find out it myself tomorrow, but I'm just too curious xD

Is this compatible with djay and iOS? I know that the mix track platinum is but the platinum fx is not on the djay website?

We haven't tried it, if it's not listed yet then probably not but Algoriddim do a good job of getting stuff working

At the time of writing still seems the best laid out cheap controller. The only annoying thing is the fader cuts feature, if you don't use it, as it can't be remapped.

How to get the jog wheel to display the remaining time? I own it and I’m unable to switch from elapsed time to remaining time on the controller itself (not serato). BTW Phil, i purchased your complete dj course and I can only say good things about it! Thank you for your inspiration and enthusiasm.

Hi JB, thanks for your kind comments. I do not think there is a way of changing that from the controller itself.

I have already the serato pro softwear running on my computer. Does serato pro recognize automaticaly the mixer in it's softwear or you have to install it your self.? And if it's made manualy can you make a video how to do it.?
@digitaldjtips 2 жыл бұрын
It will automatically recognise any Serato-compatible controller as soon as it is plugged in.

Hey . Would you please do a video on the Numark M6 usb. Cannot figure out how to connect to my PC. Or what software to use.
@digitaldjtips 2 жыл бұрын
I am afraid we don't have this mixer in the studio.
@madgermadger330 Жыл бұрын
M6 will not work with windows 10. Windows 10 asks for a driver but when you contact numark they say it they dont come with a driver because they are class compliant. Its a load of crap. biggest waste of money ever.

Hi there like the review I purchased one but it only works when I'm logged into Serato if I log out it stops working is that normal thank you

Not sure what you're asking, this is a Serato controller so you need Serato to use it, yes.

They are both fine for beginners. Decide which of the softwares you want to use long-term, that'll be your decider.

I am learning to DJ the DDJ-400, mostly hip hop. Having to look at my computer screen is not ideal for scratching. Would the screens and larger platters be much better for me? I hear mixed reviews, that the screens have lag, and the platters are a bit heavy for scratching.
@digitaldjtips 2 жыл бұрын
Most scratch DJs use laptops, so really don’t see what you’d be gaining by switching to this.
@hiphopsuperman 2 жыл бұрын
@@digitaldjtips I wonder if looking at the platters (and rotating cue point) may be more intuitive than looking at my computer screen for scratching. But maybe I’m over-thinking it?

Yeah I personally wouldn't bother, the difference will be negligible
