Numark Mixtrack Platinum FX - 4 Deck DJ Controller with DJ Mixer, Built-in Audio Interface, Jog Wheel Displays and FX Paddles

Product Information

The FX are much more fun than the “standard” Serato FX layout; the jogwheels and pitch faders are excellent (the bigger jogs make a huge difference); the layout has been improved; and pads and looping are also improved over their predecessor, with Fader Cuts being particularly fun. Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty

The computer-optimised waveguide delivers exceptional stereo imaging, providing natural and rich tonality.

This is what the controller is sold on, of course (the clue is in the name) and they’re a radical departure from the way controller effects have always been in the past. Mobile DJs will probably want to get all-in-one controllers, easy to transport and install anywhere. The controller has the expected ins and out – mic in, 2 x RCA out, headphones out (1/8″ and 1/4″), and USB for the computer (cable supplied, “old style” USB, so if you have a new laptop with USB-C you’ll need a converter), which also provides power to the unit. It comes with Serato DJ Lite software compatibility, and upgrading to Serato DJ Pro incurs an extra cost – something users will want to do at some point, although Lite is perfectly capable of allowing you to learn the basics of DJing, using your own music or music from Tidal or SoundCloud (subscriptions necessary). Numark has been actively testing all applicable hardware and software products with each beta release of Windows 11. We understand how important it is for all our users to know exactly what works before they make the jump on any new OS updates.The general consensus out there is that effects on controllers got too complicated, and as they did, fewer DJs used them – a generalisation, for sure, but clearly Numark agrees, taking a gamble by simplifying what the hardware effects do, making them far more easy to engage and use, at the expense of flexibility.

Some will hate this “one effect” limitation, but especially for the users this is aimed at (and frankly for me, too) this is enough and I’d be more likely to use this than a more in-depth but complex effects implementation. Of course, the full effects are still available on the software screen so you can always use the mouse to control those if you want to do something more, or if and when you upgrade to Serato DJ Pro, get a second controller just for the effects, such as the Pioneer DJ DDJ-XP2. Performance pads This is because Serato DJ Lite only gives you four cues, basically, Indeed if you use this controller with Serato DJ Pro, those extra pads revert to being the performance pads everyone would’ve wanted them to be all along. So ultimately in a controller designed for Serato DJ Lite, that’s what you’re going to get, and that’s fair enough – just don’t look at this controller, see eight pads, and think that they’re eight full performance pads, because they’re not, at least not with the supplied software. The bigger decision for the beginner would be whether to go for Serato at all. Pioneer DJ’s two-channel DDJ-400 comes with a full version of Pioneer DJ’s own DJ software, Rekordbox, with none of the limitations of Serato DJ Lite – you can use all eight pads, you can record, there is better control over loops, more effects. Software-wise, it wins hands-down. The expected Cue buttons and Cue Gain/Cue Mix knobs are there for headphones monitoring, and there are Mic volume and Master volume outputs (top left and top right of the controller, respectively).VirtualDJ Pro Full is natively compatible with an impressive list of hardware from many manufacturers. And, with the full MIDI compatibility and the open plugin architecture, it can connect to virtually anything. Many of our products are dependent on software for all functionality and control while the device is connected to a computer. Our products may be considered "supported" for an operating system, but will not be functional until software support is also available. So, It is crucial that you weigh software compatibility beforechoosing to update your system. Comes complete with Production Software Suite with Pro Tools | First M-Audio Edition and 20 Avid Effect Plugins included
