For mobile dj this will be the best tool! hands down! No more laptops!
Numark/Denon once again kicks Pioneer's ass. Nice vlog!
Agree
Straight DJ/ tech nostalgia. A Numark Mixtrack was the gear that got me into the game. Now, while having turntables, Z2, and a DDJ-1000, the DDJ-400 is the convenience go-to. Ultimately my next piece must be a standalone/streaming unit. #LoveEvolution
Wow! It’s awesome how Engine is making its way into other devices. Great review and thanks for the insight.
It’s easy when numark is owned by the same company that makes engine OS
Numark,Denon,Akai,Alesis...they all belong to In-Music!!!Thats why there are Numark controllers using the same parts as the Denon ones!
@@guido69x I had no clue very cool to know.
@@Rafaellasvegas All those brands were on the top of the market in the 90´s untill Pioneer DJ appear and do low blow marketing trick ruinning most of those brands!Denon was already a Pro DJ cd player brand!Pioneer DJ gave mixers and cdj players to the most trend clubs and djs worldwide!And their mixers had the phono amp nerffed,so turntable djs would feel forced to play with their cdjs.
Later,Inmusic bought most of those brands and revived them!If you notice they all share the same hardware and software!From buttons,displays,faders and Engine OS!
Wow man just found your channel! Loving your videos! Thanks for helping me decide on this machine!
Welcome!
agree this is a great "entry drug" to that #DJLIFE Even just keeping as a back up with a core library on dropbox to sync to in a bind is super appealing. Good Job Terry !
My therapist suggested that I start creating something I had 50 years old I have no artistic ability the only thing I like is music and I'd like to think that I would be good at creating a sounds face that everyone would enjoy. I am about I am ready to buy my first piece of equipment. Which has created much confusion. And the confusion causes me to delay the purchase. Now a year behind. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to do this video I watched it three times I really enjoyed the review I think I'm going to move up to that piece of equipment or the rain one or or that pioneer rev7 I will look at the mall and make a decision. I'm grateful.
Just picked up one of these and its amazing. Does more than a lot of other products more than twice as much.
Just caught the email from DJ Tech Tools, saw this thing exists and immediately sought you out because I trust your gear reviews.
This is an amazing all in one device🤙🏼 I'm a Numark lover. Thanks for this review
Really enjoyed your video🙌🏾very helpful!
Great product for beginners 😁
Looking forward to future models that will support advanced DJs needs.
Awesome job Terry. Keep it up!!
I'd love to see just the center mixer & screen section of the Denon Prime 4 without the decks w/DVS support! THAT would be dope, a standalone mixer that can store music and read drives and your turntables of choice and no laptop!
Good stuff Terry. This will make a great backup to the Prime 4. Poor mic options but that aside, a cheaper backup option than the Prime Go. Standalones all the way for me 💪😎
you nailed it with this review brother, it's a huge money saver if your just starting out your dj path as all you need is this and wifi..... I like to think of it as a stripped out prime 2/go, or a pro fx thats having an identity crisis
Good review, I really like what "In-music" did. two master outs are good enough. if you need a reference /monitor speaker you always have a volume control on the PA for that, no big deal, wish it will 1/4
:(
Great Review I’m subscribing right now
I'm about to use this device to start my radio station. I like the information on this mixsteam pro.
The all in one concept is brilliant.
Was waiting on you for this one
You nailed it bro! This echos my thoughts exactly. I wouldn't consider this a pro (primary) mixer. It's perfectly made for it's target market! Spot effing on for a streaming unit! And a killer stand-alone backup! In a worst case scenario, just pull this bad boy out with your must have music already on it, and you're rocking in 2 minutes! PEOPLE!! Stop thinking of this as something it wasn't meant to be. I'm seriously considering this one!
Very good point. It is entry-to-mid level and has blown everything in that segment but people are asking for high end functions
I like it, Numark really got it right with this one!
Love your work Bro. OneLove
Great overview Terry. Wow, for $599 you get stand alone, built in monitors and lighting. That’s a great starter and portable price of kit. Can you make a video of it in action? Thanks
I'll be honest. I wasn't feeling the speakers at first. But as a booth out. I feel it. Still can't wait to see the next iteration tho. Great vid.
Ye I love this stand alone idea but the mic I feel the same if it was in engine wow that wood be fab great review david
Best review I’ve seen so far 👍
Thank you.
I’ve ordered one, many thanks Terry 👍
I've watched 8 breakdowns of this product i find yours to be the most genuine. If the effects section wasn't so limited I'd have jumped on it already.
They updated it now 😜
@@tazinfluence5356 interesting, what have they changed regarding the effects??
@@brendanryan6363 you can adjust the parameters of your effecs now via the new engine software update
This and Mojaxx are my favourite review channels
Great review. I will get one
I like it- would be a good back up for the Prime4 and to play a practice session in my backyard 👍
yeah, i ordered one for jamming in my kitchen and back deck.
amazing dj product cant wait to see one a little bigger and with moving platters (lol)
Good review!
Hi CT … would really appreciate it if you can do an in depth Soundswitch and Engine Lighting
I'm a old school DJ and was perfectly happy with the turntables and I play my cds still, but I see I have to catch up with the software and hardware, so I'm not sure what to get, but I'm looking at the two denons and the numark mixstream pro, I know how to DJ I just have to catch up with the times
You're the first to mention that the speakers can be used as booth speakers , and imo that's the main purpose, so we've got a great all-in-one here
I would like to see scratching on the jog wheels. I found the other Numark controllers didn’t perform to my liking. But this looks like a step in the right direction!
Dope review! I primarily use the NS7 III, but I play mainly at smaller wedding venues. Would this be an easier controller to use?
Nice stuff coming out from the substance with Denon engine dj
Hey, Terry! Im really liking my Mixstream pro so far. Only gripe I have is the effects are not customizable which definitely limits the capabilities of the deck. Is it possible to put Denon Prime 2 Engine OS or Denon Prime Go OS on the Mixstream pro?
I just traded my Mixtrack Platinum Fx for this and we're talking Night and Day in comparison! I love everything about the Mixstream Pro but where are the sample standard performance pads 👀 Don't see anything in the settings, any info or workarounds would be appreciated. Absolutely love your videos Cleveland Terry, I'm a beginner dj and I've learned so much from watching you...thx and continued success! 👍🔥🔥🔥
For the price this is a bargain. A stand-alone with lighting control with booth speakers XLR outputs, this blows DDJ FLX6 out the water for the same price. The FLX6 doesn’t even have XLR outputs. I’m a pro DJ and I would get this as a back up use for small gatherings or an event like wedding where more than 1 room is used. For $600 standalone a great product in my book. Great job Terry as usual.. 👍🏿
Now way is this controller better than the FLX6. FLX6 is a 4 deck controller compatible with Serato, Rekordbox and Virtual DJ. This thing doesn't hold water to a 4 deck controller you're better off spending the money to get the pioneer xdj if you want a solid stand alone controller.
Lol people arent looking at this correctly. I am envious of this rig. I wish this was available before I spent thousands. Such a good beginner rig.
@@jayred139 I always laugh when people say this but only use 2 channels 97-100% of the time.
I like the cintroller hope they bring out the cue buttons coloured that will very nice
Thks for the vid by the way
I just got it and wow it is pretty cool. I was wondering does it have a fader adjuster?
Had considered then waited then was on sale $100 OFF and I bought one 3 days ago 02-23-23. I'm loving it.
Hi.. I bought this console.. but I have a question: I managed to import the tracks with related loops and cue points etc. from rekordbox and put them on the key with Engine. On the console I see all the poi and loop cues... but for example when I select the second cue point it starts directly... while if I select the first it stops and starts again with play... how can I make sure that all the cue points don't start automatically? I don't know if I explained myself. Thank you
would love to see a comparison on track loading and analysis speed with a prime 2 or 4
Ciao,i have a little problem, after connect Mixstream pro to PC, sound at pc is disable ( only for youtube/chrome or another player). solution ? please
Hey Terry do you know of any mid to entry level models coming out this year that are similar in features / price point ? I’m not to crazy on the look of this model .
I don’t necessarily sure I’ll like the flow of engine and the speaker seems like a gimmick so I gotta try it but the sound switch integration is way ahead of rekordbox lighting and that alone makes me seriously consider getting into engine.
Hi Terry, is it possible to share the exact name of the soundswitch box usb to xlr please? Thx
How can you do the configuration of the lights? Do you have an specific tutorial??
Just asking I’m new at this would you buy Mixstream Pro or Rev1 , or FLX 4
We use It today It Is really fantastic and fast! In Italy also in streaming
Haha... "Not off!". I love it =)
I'm seriously considering this one. I have been a Traktor fan for years (but used Deckadance for a couple of years) and I love my Traktor controller.
What I don't like is that I have software issues now and then. Not on all gigs, but it happens to often to be comfortable.
And yes, it would probably be a less issue if I step away from Windows, but that the cost is an issue.
This would be a nice alternative being autonomous and don't have to worry about the next software crash.
However, I'm not that in to the wifi/online features. I want to use it totally offline with my own song collection. Most venues I'm at are outside reliable internet connection.
Most reviews only focus on the streaming part.
One feature that would be cool is to have an external (larger) monitor. I'm almost 50 and small screens have become an issue ;)
I've just bought one and I'm 53... It's better than I expected and I'm extremely pleased with it! I don't currently plan to use any streaming services as it just isn't how I roll, but I have an SD card and two USB drives plugged in and can access my music that way. You can swap out any of them while playing and it accepts HDD's as well as thumb drives so there doesn't seem to be a size limit (the Mixdeck Express will only take 32GB sticks, for example). Some people are panning the onboard speakers, I'm actually really pleased with them. I'm not sure i would try to run a party with them, but for home use and practice they are perfect!
What I have done is wire the main output to a basic powered subwoofer and I was blown away at how capable that suddenly sounded for a home system or even a small party!
I'm taking it to a friend's with a sub to see how far we can push this idea, and its only a cheap chappy Sony sub! I hooked it up with my Mordant Short sub and it sounded great.
I love that I can put this anywhere and play, but not just play, Record also! I understand this won't be for everyone, but I am very satisfied with it and how it works!
Now to get me some Philips smart lights...
@@justifiedsoul69 Thanks. Since my first comment I actually bought one and I'm very happy with it so far.
Only used it "live" once on a music quiz session, but it was working flawlessly.
I have tried both running from USB and Dropbox. No issues at all.
A key to success is obviously to put some effort into preparing the playlists to get a smooth workflow. Guess there will be some trial and error before it sits perfect.
However, I have some doubts about the search functionality - I.e. how to find a specific song in a stressed situation, but it might be just me.
Did a first test with my Hue lights, and that was really easy. Now I'm about to jump into the SoundSwitch ocean as well. Although most of my lights are considered retro with manual controllers, I do have some LED DMX equipment also. The ability to have tailormade light shows for specific songs is a nice feature indeed. But a lot of work is needed.
By the way, I just noticed that there is a + version just released. Trying to find the details but so far the only change I can find is the support for Amazon music. Anyone else noticed any other upgrades?
Is there a way to record both the mic and music playing at the same time? So the recording has what ever you say over the top of the music?
Just ordered mine upgrading from numark mixtrax pro
Can you connect an external device like your phone/iPad?
I'd love to see something like this that is only the mixer section that would let me plug in a pair of LC6000s.
Good idea.
how to i had the soundswitch it to my ssd drive on my Prime 4?.
Yeah I’m digging this one due to not having a laptop present.
Ok...one more issue...do the built in speakers have separate volume control? On off? If You put a live mic in front of it/near it......feedback!??
Yes there is a separate volume control. Engine dj has a setting to not send mic through the speakers.
Numark definitly leveled up on this one, hopefully Pioneer comes out with a badd azz sb4 plus
Can I also use this unit with a laptop..?? and if yes..what software to use..??
Wao, that new intro controller really sound interesting. But ever since my ddj 1000 usb input card went bad, I being waiting for the next versión of it instead of by a new unit. What a dilema. 😔
Great entry leave controller. They should I kept elongated pitch control.
Link for the wireless XLR cables ??
Maybe this will force Serato to think about implementing embedded software in a controller. They are being a little bit stubborn and rigid about that. If this is successful, they may rethink it if there's money to be made.
Definitely considering to buy this one. What I really hate about this though is the mic input, same as in the other Numark controllers. A proper mic input would have at least an XLR connector, compressor/limiter and basic EQ controls. The settings have a mic tab, so I expected it would have more controls than just internal speaker throughput on/off. This one really requires a separate mixer. Also, parties like weddings tend to need more than one mic input. Thumbs up for main output XLR's though.
Agreed.
That would all be great but its only $700 what do you expect?
@@dirtychumpThose small additions would have made this product truly complete. Now it's just almost there. Would gladly pay a few dollars more to completely make a separate mixer unnecessary. Replacing a jack with an XLR isn't that expensive and EQ's and compressors are nowadays just a few lines of code if the audio processing is fully digital anyway.
How was the mic... Was it just a mix... Or did it have any toys to it??
Now i want to know if their will be an NS7 Mark 3 With engine? That will be insane.
would be dope if they dropped the internal speakers, added longer tempo fader and second row of buttons. id rather bluetooth connection for small speakers to practice over internals
excellent points
Bluetooth might cause some delay issues
we can use beat jump?
Love it...! Its very versatile..and dont see why it wont be main controller....blackout looks off to me..lol...and your audience. 1/4 mic kinda sucks, but for short wire runs, should be ok. Is it a trs mic in? That would be nice.
Yes, TRS
All this needs is longer pitch faders and a better fx control and we have a winner!
At least the 2.2 update has sorted the effects wet and dry plus viral dj workers aswell
Can this review your performances in standalone ?
How do I do full kill of the EQ ? Because when lower them to the minimum there's still sound coming ?
Yea this confused me. The labels painted on say they are full kill but they are not
Can you connect turntables ???
Even though I have a Pioneer DDJ800, I have been looking for a stand-alone DJ System. I love Pioneer and Rekordbox but the hardware is too expensive. I also wasn't sure if I am ready to learn another software system. I didn't get Denon before because of the Engine. Now, they revamped it into Engjine DJ, I have researched and given it a second look. My biggest worry is to convert my Rekordbox library to Engine. Can that be possible? If it is, I will have to see the controller live and test it out.
Yes, it's a very easy process I think and there are multiple videos on RUclips
The mix stream pro can analyze a rekordbox USB on the device itself. You technically don't even need to stop using rekordbox.
You can also easily import in your rekordbox library to make Engine mirror your RB library in just a few clicks and a few minutes
Hello sir, will handle a full 1TB external drive? If so will it take longer to load a track than the Prime 2?
Don’t know about the max storage but it does load slightly slower then the prime 2
Whats your thoughts on using this for mobile dj'ing starting out, weddings, birthday partys etc.
Besides the mic input being limited, I don’t see why you couldn’t dj with everywhere with this.
Will this work with Serato
Can I use my dj crates from my hard drive
Will it work with virtual Dj.
My man Cleveland, killed it with this review,,I’m not the biggest fan of Engine as I was disappointed with it when I picked up the Denon Prime 2, although I’m led to believe that they have since improved it..
One thing that isn’t technically correct regarding it being a complete stand alone,,although yes it is a Stand alone unit, you still need a computer to import and organise Nd analyse your music and then export it to a USB which plugs into the Numark..
At least this was the case with the Prime 2..
Except you forget that "if" you have good internet you can literally stream everything so that's not really accurate.
Prepping music at home is a need, but at a event it is in fact completely stand alone.
Pioneer requires same effort and the cdj units have always been considered stand alone too.
Its completely fair to call it stand alone because you can stream to it without any downloaded media. It can read files off of a USB better than anything Pioneer has. It can even read rekordbox prepped USBs
Hey Cleve where can i found the soundswitch cable?.
Any usb b cable will work.
ns74 with this tech be cool!
This would be sick for playing small parties or sketchy raves where you don't wanna bring your good equipment 😂
Cool
Cleveland Terry, first off, I really enjoy your show. But, Oh dear, the pitch faders on that device. With the Mixtrack Pro FX, at least the pitch faders are legit.
The are short but they feel the same.
I have this unit. It's great. Other than the non existent search function...
So their next model should echo the NUMARK NV series with 4 channels to play with.
Love the video, how do you get a sampler on this? =) thx
Engine os does not have a sampler
@@ClevelandTerry Shoot! Can you plug one in? Thanks!
Could this controller be used in a club setting with a decent PA system, or is it only for practicing or smaller venues?
Yes, its got balanced XLR outs
@@dirtychump Thanks for the reply! I have been using them, they are awesome 👌
Wish they did a new NS7 version..
will it run videos? And if so where would they output from?
No. There are no in music all in ones with video out. I’m getting vibes that one is coming. I brought that up in my prime 4 review. .
Watch out for NS7IIII with 4 channels, moving platters and 10 inch screen. 40 lbs of mobile fun lol.
Na I reckon inmusic is keeping numark entry level and rane and denon the premium brands
