I have to say, @Crossfader, I am glad you made this video, I was about to spend over a thousand on a controller. This just changed my mind for now!!! Lovely tutorial

@4:33 you can see phase signal shifting on side B. God damn Phase. Can't wait for the firmware.
Nice vid!

I own this beauty for a few weeks now and can absolutely recommend it. Best bang for buck when it comes to a Serato DVS enabled 2-Channel Battle Mixer. Strongest contender might be the Mixars Duo MK2, which has the advantage of adjustable linefaders but has no post fader FX on the CF, Numark Scratch has, though.

This mixer with 2 Audio Technica ATLP140-XP's were just over 1500.00 out the door with 2yrs of insurance. I'm very pleased at the performance of this equipment, at this price. I even threw in a coffin and a foldable stand with the money saved.

Got mine in the mail yesterday! Just right, not too much extra stuff I wouldn't use anyway...the mini innofader is a MONSTER!!! I am very impressed!

Played around with this mixer the other day and I was Truly impressed!!! First off that cross fade is really nice and right next to the set I was playing around with was a set with the same Numark Scratch with an innofader pro2 crossfade! So one was butter and the other was butter on That's just the crossfader, there is a lot of other feature's that are SICK! Than I started playing around with the pads, using them as cue points and I was very impressed. I use a Rane TTM56S so when ever I want to hit a cue point I have to use the lap top. I am yet to use the effects but that is the reason I started liking this mixer!! So far I give it a 10, but I will rate it again after I pick one up!!!!a

If I was just starting out, this is what I would get. This is such a good value and, if you want to upgrade, a ddj xp2 would be perfect for this and give you nearly everything you'd ever need for a long long time.

very nice mixer/controller and it's already supported plug & play by Virtualdj 2018

I have this mixer. The only thing is no effects without serato so you're forced into serato. Other than that it is a beast the crossfader is solid. Peace!

[djbond]

Thank you very much for your efforts….all the best and good luck

[djrottweiler]

Looks good. Sounds good. And for sure. Has good features, numark has done. Something great with this mixer. Can’t wait to get my hands on it. Keep it up. Numark. 👍👍. Good and well explain video. 👌

[djrottweiler]

That mixers looks like it bring lots of good features for that size and the price it’s perfect for us dj with a low budget, I like it. I would definitely get it try it and rock it. I really think numark did something good with this incorporating SERATO in it. Keep it up👍

[earljaxfl]

Great review I’ll definitely be picking one of these up

If you are thinking of buying this and upgrading the crossfader to the Innofader Pro 2, BEWARE! the plate that houses the mediocre Mini Innofader is too small to house the wider big brother the Innofader Pro 2. I literally spent about 3 hours bending the metal housing plate, until I finally got it to house the Inno Pro 2, and secure it to the mixer itself. I'm not sure if there will be a metal housing plate that will allow you to install the Inno Pro 2 with ease, but this is the only solution I have to offer for now.

Just got mine today, so far its really nice and easy to use. Not too many extra bells and whistles that i'll never use. My only complaint is the mic pre amps. I have to turn the volume up full blast to get any sound from my mic. Is anyone else having this problem with VERY low mic volume.?

[jubby]

What about compared to traktors z2?..would it be price?..if so it wouldn't be much difference?

[RefugeetheDJ]

excellent value for money without a doubt!

After owning this mixer since release there are some gripes I have with it. I read that line faders are soldered to the mainboard of the mixer which means that they can' t be replaced once they break. The effects in Serato can' t be edited and then saved as a personal preset chain. Everytime you close and reopen Serato DJ the changes are overwritten by the Numark Scratch because of it' s fixed layout on the mixer itself. I wish that Numark would have used a mticolour led for the pads since they only light up in red. I use colour coding for my cue points and I' d wish that the mixer would reflect that.
