You’re another channel that’s become essential to me picking out my latest and greatest gear. Even though I’d never use this controller I appreciate all the spot on reviews. It really, really helps.

For anyone that is interested. I just recently bought the numark mixtrack platinum Fx and it's a fantastic piece of kit. Everyone is different but for me I've never been interested in using 4 decks. Even though the platinum Fx is 4 deck capable it's not something I'll ever use so if your like me then the platinum Fx is for you.

Spot on when you say this fills a specific gap. I have been after a controller with aux in and double outputs for a while to replace my trusty ns6. I couldn't find one for anywhere near this price range and essentially gave up a couple of weeks ago, then out of the blue In comes the NS4FX. Just ordered and looking forward to its arrival tomorrow.

The lack of RGB is odd when you consider that so many of us assign different colours to cue points over the course of a song.

Great video, Phil!! I still use my Numark N4 and have mastered every function of it over the years. I am glad to see that Numark is still updating some of its old stabile controllers and I will definitely be buying this thanks to your review!!

Great review. Pretty well covered on all subjects in merely 14 minutes!

I purchased this yesterday as my Denon MXC8000 needed a repair. It's actually way better than I thought and lack of RGB pads didn't bother me really. -I'm using it on Virtual DJ and the only thing I'm trying to figure out is how to change Sampler Banks on the mixer. - The only thing I'll say caught me, was the delay in the pads. I literally have to time my pressure on the pads. It has to be a split second earlier than other flagship pads, but I guess more practice needed. -All in all, it's surprisingly great controller and I was on the mix for 3 hours without any complaints.

Great review - agree on crossfader

Hi Phil, yet another informative and helpful video, many thanks. I bought this controller last week and have regretted it ever since. As another subscriber mentioned ,I have massive problems with distortion with the mic, no matter how much I adjust the levels on the controller .I tried taking it back to the shop I bought it from BUT they will not change it, what a complete waste of money.

I got one a few days ago and imo the best you can get in that price range. i am a Pionee Fanboy and I sold my DDJ-400 for about £ 319 and got this one instead. Yes it has its flaws but for someone who is about to work as a entrepreneur for weddings, birthdays and incentive events it really offers all you need. I'll stick with that controller for a long long time, just as you have said.

Toujours très intéressant. Merci beaucoup.

Thank you Phil and your team for the info

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.

I bought this controller used before Christmas and it grew on me over time. I still love my ddi-sx2 but this serves a purpose. that the sx2 in it's flight case is just to big for. The big surprise is that the 4 faders can't be used to mix in analogue sources. There's the aux in on the rear, so that solves that issue. The mic inputs are not bad. Not great either but will do. The jog wheels are nice, same with the pitch controls. I think for the price, you do get some serious bang for the buck. As for sound, On it's own, it is quite good but you really do hear the difference in the sound reproduction if you have a Denon or Pioneer or one of the there flagship controllers. It works great with DJAY pro for iPad too.

It will be nice to have scratch bank on my S-9 . but I am surprise this unit is out. Did not expect it. Good Review Phil. I am not a fan of Numark when they do not put lines on their pots. EQ, or master. in the dark you can easily not be at 12 o'clock on the line or master.

Great review Phil, thanks as usual. It looks like a really good replacement for a Mixtrack Platinum FX that I own (and I love) but eventually I'd like to start using 4 channels and this seems like the perfect choice (and way cheaper than equivalent PioneerDJ gear). Also the livestreaming feature looks pretty amazing and really convenient, for the price tag sounds amazing. All in all I'm impressed and pleased by Numark gear, I own a DJ2Go2 touch (my first love) and, as I said, a Platinum FX which is my current main controller (and will be for a while longer I suppose), both great purchases, both great fun, both great value.

12:27 So I just discovered that if you hold the Cue button for the selected track, it will show the levels for the track you are cuing as long as you hold it. Just got mine yesterday, coming from the Platinum and the original Mixtrack Pro before that.

It is fantastic in my opinion

Numark make some great stuff, especially for entry level /backup. If they just embraced the trend and threw some rgb pads in their kit theee would be no discussion what to buy for a first / backup controller imo

As always, great review Phil. I also have the Platinum FX and i really enjoy playing music with it, i as well will probably never use all four channels.

Pricing for Serato Pro is actually 199$ not only 99$

I’m sooooo getting 1 of these

An unbeatable value!

Hi, how is the quality of the soundcard when we compare to Pioneer rx3 or ddj1000 ? I heard that chip controler have bad sound card D/A convertor. It is the case with this controler ?

Great review

The NS4FX is more of a 4-channel balanced extension of the Mixtrack line of controllers than any new iteration of the previous NS controllers like the NS6 and NS7. Also for the money, you are shelling out to buy the NS4FX and only get Serato lite makes no sense. Right on the Numark NS4FX top right corner, it says "Four Deck PROFESSIONAL DJ Controller. How could this be when "Serato Lite" is not professional DJ software but an entry-level package? I don't know any Professional DJ that uses Serato Lite at a gig. So the NS2FX is just a beefed-up Mixtrack Platinum FX controller. To really take advantage of the NS4FX hardware, you really need the Pro version of Serato which is $199 USD plus the controller at a $500 US price point. PlatinumFX is $279 US dollars with the same software as NS4FX. One such beginner/intermediate four-channel controller that comes with Serato DJ Pro is Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX6 for about $599 USD. I think the marketing strategy is a misstep on the Numark NS4FX.

Great review! I love the cons and the comparisons to the platinum and flx6. Is there a way to increase/decrease the bpm range on the pitch fader?

Shoutout for saying how to get into the pro modes. The instructions have a typo that says you press the button twice when you really have to hold shift. I thought my unit was broken

Just an FYI, I believe the DDJ-Rev1 actually sends mic audio back to the computer as well. :) Edit: Actually it's even pointed out in your review of the Rev1. :D

My NS4FX just arrived and it will NOT connect with my Serato DJ Pro (I have a lifetime license when I bought it years ago). I am using Windows 10, latest version of Serato Pro and have tried every USB port and different cables but all I get is "Error loading MIDI xml" and "Hardware cannot connect to Serato DJ Pro" .. Can anyone please help!!? Thanks

I love it! I'm looking for something that will compare to the old Denon DNMC 6000 in terms of connectiviy, outputs and inputs ... that thing is built like a tank and very reliable and very versatile too...what are other options???thanks

It is good option that the virtual audio cable within the serato software you get cracking audio from it while using a web cam

Wow that's what i call "premiere" this controller isn't yet available on Numark site. As Numark NS series lover and NS6 II owner i realy like how numark is working on new controller. Do you think it will be released a new controller at the same range of NS6?

Hi Phil, I purchased the Numark deck and most features are easy to use and does a good job. However …massive problem with distortion with the mic, no matter how good the quality of the mic and adjusting the levels. Unfortunately I have had bad feedback from a few gigs as I’m a live DJ at various venues and I use the mic / talking as powerful tool. I have put my gigs on hold until I find a solution. Cheers DJ Wayne

As I see on this controller, the same problem can be found on it like my Platinum FX. The selected pad function button has almost the same bright light like the others. Could you please inform about this problem the Numark? I did that, but nothing has changed... :(

Numark started make rev controller, started with platinum fx !

Nice review!. When did it come out and is it available in the US?

Perfect controller

I'm a Serato Dj Pro user. I just discovered an issue with this numark controller. It has some second to millisecond delayed when i play my drum files using sync and SAMPLER. I've tried every possible factor to the issue, but to no success. I've adjusted the latency on Serato and turned off the Q button (quantizise) on the top left, but still no luck. I even use two different PCs and a 2022 apple macbook pro. I'm fighting the store dj i bought it from for a refund eventhough i didn't use it and it's brand new with no scratches etc. Their excuse is that I've opened it, but how am i supposed to find out its defects if i didn't get it out of the box to try it. They didn't even have a sample ns4fx controller available for customers to try out if it's up to standards. 🤨

Hi, What is the suggestion to workaround the lack of level meter for each incoming channel ? Thanks great review !

I own a Numark NVII, and love it, is this the New NV? as had mine of over 7 years and things are just going a bit wrong, but still love it

The platinum fx was my first controller so I want to support this controller but this feels pointless. A major drawback is this is only has serato dj lite. To buy the pro version your total cost is now around $700. That's a tall order to not even get rgb pads.

It's been month i bought platinum fx, i would have bought this.

What I find interesting is that as of today the NS4FX is not available in the US. As much gear, we buy why I'm sure it would d good in our market.

Just wondering. If this is a sign from numark? Maybe the next ns7 is coming ??

Great Video 👈 1 question I don’t hear my mic true my headphone? Where is the master Cue?

Need Guidence, It is a great video but I want to know How to use beat fx like pioneer in numark NS4FX ?

i like this one 🤩

In my eyes there is only one minus a removable cross-fader so can put innofader in.but otherwise looks good 4 channel serato controller.

Hey Phil, thank you for your work. Have I seen it correctly, that there is no volume control for the aux-input? And neither a prepare-button for putting selected tracks to the prep-folder as i can do with the ddj sx-series?

Just point out that if this controller is £400 plus and like the numark scratch mixer is £400 plus yet one comes with serato DJ light the other comes with the full software and DVS expansion pack.bit wrong somewhere that.had the numark scratch with two brand new reloop RP4000mk2 before realising that what a faff switching everything on so went standalone with the mixstream Pro

I never use 4 decks but the more inputs make me want to go for this… Is that really worth the extra money though?

So I have the Platinum FX and there are 2 negative criticism I have with it. I want to know if they are the same here. They are 1) the pitch control doesn’t have a “click” or something on the slider itself to indicate you are at the center. 2) I’m using Serato Pro and if I choose the Echo Out affect, I have to go into the software to turn it on after using one of the effects like echo or reverb on the board. Are the same issues with this controller? Also can there be effects like echo on the microphone?

4 channel nice

Loved my platinum FX until it got confiscated. Might have to pick this one up as a replacement.

Like the four channels

Is this good to mix trance-progressive-psytrance?

Numark should have made it more obvious which layer/deck layer you are one. I feel like that is going to be a point of confusion. Especially seeing how the whole point of getting this new kit is for the four-channel mixing.

I've been thinking about this but I have started scratching a lot can the crossfader able to stand up to scratching and can the fader curve be adjusted

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

Hello, does someone know, where i can find a Traktor Mapping for this Controller?

Better than the flx 6 yes. But better than the flx 6GT?

So actually I ran my NS4FX using VirtualDJ on a hunch and the meters work correctly (like the Platinum FX). The LED meters with independently as they should. So Serato needs to come out with an update. How do we let them know about this?

hello. How do I update the Numark NS4FX firmware? I can't find it on the Numark website. I have micro cuts in the audio of less than a second while I'm mixing. Please help

I noticed there are only two volume VU meters on this controller, one for each channel. Is there one for the Master volume? Or can you toggle it so you can see the master level?

Anyone know where I could get the drivers for this controller for a Windows PC? My friend got this controller and wants me to teach him how to use it and I thought I could use my own PC so I could use it with serato dj pro but I cant find any of the drivers online. Do i need drivers for this controller on PC?

hi i got a question is the slicer function also available on the Numark Platinum FX or only on the higher end model?

Run it on Virtual DJ 2021, Get access to all channels and all features, however, I've got the NS6 ll, the best controller, I've ever owned, always hoped that Numark may have moved to an NS6 lll , and tided up some weak point's on the MK2. like the Microphone control, and placing a switch on it, like the NS4 had (I wore that controller out), and also put a digital Microphone that would run through too DJ software, So that you can stream and record, I use a Focusrite Scarlett for streaming my sets, maybe this feature is similar on the NS4 FX to what I'd love to see on an NS6 lll (If they ever build one) However, I do like the look of the looping buttons on the NS4FX, I'd like to see similar on an NS6 lll, however, I bet Virtual DJ would unlock the control in the due cause, I did, unfortunately, purchase a Pioneer DDJ FLX6 (i was not impressed) as a backup controller while the NS6 ll was in for repair, however, Virtual DJ did a fantastic job of mapping all effects on the DDJ FLX6 including the big Magic Button, or a your "Get Out Of Jail " control., where you can change music style or big BPM variation. I'm still wondering why Numark stopped the production of the NS6 ll, after such a short production run and seemed to move more toward more budget and mid-level controllers and streaming stand-alone? Just another point to note my Numark NS6 ll cost me 500 euros in 2019, if you want one now, I've seen them online for sale now at $1500, three times their original price, I wish Numark would move back toward flagship models. Great Review love your work, Best Wishes from Zakynthos Greece

Hi, I have had a lot of issues with this item using serato DJ. I emailed numark and they stated its not eligible for serato DJ? I am so confused. Do you know of any other DJ program this will work for

what is the best program to download music ?

Hy ,Can the crossfader perform decent cuts ,and is there any delay whatsoever on the jockeys ? Will appreciate your feedback

not sure you said this or not but can you use it with ipad and djay pro instead of laptop ??? thanks

Do all the input cables come with the controller or buyed seperately?

can it record mic when someone is recording a mix

Hi Phil do you know of any sites where I can buy or stream any acid house and old skool hard-core 88-93?

we can't use the fx of serato?

can i connect straight to the speakers 🔊 or would i need a mixer

I have a Pioneer DDJ-SB2 with Serato DJ Pro - It's fine, but I fancy a new upgrade and don't want to spend more than £500. I need balanced outputs, so the Pioneer DDJ-FLX6 is a no from me.. The Numark NS4FX seems like a good bet.. Any advice? Is it much of a step up from the DDJ-SB2? I was thinking of getting a second hand Pioneer DDJ-SX2 or SR2, but they are hard to find and I hate dealing with people when trying to buy second hand..

Hello Phil What is better Numark NS4FX or NI Traktor s3 mk3

looking to upgrade from ddj400 to ddj1000. Is this a better value? or will I eventually still want ddj1000?

I can’t hear my voice on headphones when I speak on the mic??? OMG I can’t use this one for stream on TikTok … there is a solution ?

Question.. Are there any upgrades (Firmware) for the NS4FX? Everything is lagging on my NS4FX - scratching , cue pads , sound FX all delayed!

WHY ARE THERE NO BEATJUMP CONTROLS READILY ACCESSIBLE! Am I crazy and am just missing the beatjump control options? Or is beatjumping convoluted with this??????????

niice

Hi Phil!. This or Hercules 500?.

I'm trying to loop manually like I could on the MixTrack Pro. Is this possible as I can't figure out how to do it which is important to me for those Short Intro's I want to loop on the fly

I got the ns4fx today, haven’t been able to get the fx to turn off? They’ve been stuck on since I opened it anyone know how I can turn fx off lmaoo?

Deberías de haber hecho la REVIEW con él serato Lite para informarnos sí sé puede mezclar con Los 4 DECKS..

Pioneer still the best for me. Numark should have been way ahead of the game but like they fell asleep and the competitors passed them while they were in their slumber.... reminds me of the Nokia & Blackberry story

Hi wot do you mean by tone control on the mic please im use to bass mid treble thanks david

djtechsys i have the DDJ-SX3 for big gigs, which i can connect my 1200s, i have the Numark DJ2GO Touch for practicing some mixes at the house, or on the go... this looks like a good back-up unit, or for smaller gigs that i wouldn't have another DJ connected for hand-offs. It seems like a fair price for that.

How does this compare to the Numark Ns6ii?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I just bought the NS4FX. The volume LEDs are a really big problem. Not only do they not correspond to each channel, it only shows what’s playing through the main output. It’s totally unnecessary to have 2 meters because they both do the same. When you turn the volume down on the fader, the meter goes to 0. It’s pretty useless.

How much in usd

I want to use this with a iPad pro & Djay Ai is it possible?

maybe the pads are only white because it makes the wiring simpler

So, the performance platters don’t spin?

Hi there can I use virtual dj with this controller thanks

How can import That Numark NS4FX? To Africa?
