It works with VirtualDJ, as well! Definitely on my need-to-get list. It is great to have something like that in my travel bag for those just-in-case times.
i didnt like the previous versions of this but it had potential.With the better jogs i would find this useful as i am often away from my gear but my computer goes where i go and this would be cool for trying ideas out and setting loops and cues on the go.Also small parties would be good just bring this and my mac and then back in the bag job done.
what a great video. thanks so much for going over everything especially the adapters because this will be sent directly from amazon to my nephew in another state. stay safe and thanks again!
I have the previous version, DJ2GO2 with Serato Lite and I have never been able to pre-listen/cue/monitor without the audio going out through the speakers as well. Any solutions?
We don't tend to do reviews of specific combinations like that but thanks for the suggestion. If you have any questions I'd suggest checking out the Algoriddim forums, they're pretty busy and usually very helpful :)
Pretty cool little controller. Apart from it's function as a travel controller, I'm wondering if it's possible to map the browse and cue point buttons to my rekordbox DVS setup in addition to an external mixer (23c)? Purely for basic track browse/load and cue point functions .
This was a awesome Review. I still got my starlight Hercules till this day I know few of my DJ buddy's goin use it asap 👊🏾. Keep up the work. Funk Up Salute Peace ✌🏾
If you're using Traktor you could map the level knobs to be filters or bass instead if you really wanted to. I have one of the original 2GOs and was thining of doing this.
Hello. Just bought the numark dj2go touch with serato lite. I already have DJ Pro setup on my laptop because I also have the pioneer flx6. how do I use my numark DJ2Go touch on my already installed Serato Pro without having to upgrade and pay for the upgrade
I wish Denon , Pioneer , and serato would make a small compact controller similar to this specifically for beat grid editing and preparation (not performance) no eqs basic ability to play two tracks together via sync to ensure maybe your mix out cue and starting point on another track worked together. I think if they could make it affordable enough it would be a great product.
DJ Ace Yeah man. I would love to have some kind of tactile/compact grid editing tool that I could take on trips or just do prep while sitting on my bed with the laptop. no output needed, just headphones and a way to access grid edit functions and set cue points.
Hello- Great review - thank you. Will this controller also support Serato Video within Serato DJ Pro please? I'd like to use the platters to scrub through video footage...
Hello! I have purchased NewMark DJGO2 Touch which says to be compatible with my DJayPro app but I have an issue :(. The sound in the speaker (I tried few) is delayed compared to the headphones. FYI I am using an iPad and all are connected by wires. Also checked different wires. Otherwise I love the controller and Thank You for your great reviews. What should I do?
Hi, I'm not sure if anyone can help. I have the dj2go2 and I'm having an issue with a delay in the headphones. So the track is playing from the deck and im queuing up the next track to mix in. The track that is to be mixed in and whilst im listening via the headphone to the 2nd track to mix in are out of sync even though I'm listening to the track in my headphone. Its just not playing at the same time snd appears to be some latency, It's very frustrating. I've tried a couple of different headsets so it's not that. Can anyone help. At the moment I'm just playing through my laptop speakers but I've also tried playing through a speaker and it's just the same. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers. Paul
Nice review, thanks Phil. Quick one, is it possible to have this (or any other controller like this one) connected to your laptop along side a Pioneer DJM Mixer (DJM-450 for example)? basically use the mixer as a mixer and soundcard etc and have the controller to control the tracks etc in parallel? Also does this work with Traktor Pro 3? Thanks
I need on to practice because im not always in my room and moving my ddj 400 back and forward is a hassle. I use rekordbox tho im thinking of getting the dj2go2 touch or ddj 200 for practice wich one you reccomend
Thank you for the nice review! I have one unanswered question though. In case I just wanted to mix some music for myself at home without headphones, could I just connect my laptop with some bluetooth speakers or would the speakers need to be connected directly with the DJ2GO? Thank you in advance!
FYI, most Bluetooth speakers that have an aux in have latency and delay so you can’t really dj with them. The minirig speakers don’t but they’re expensive. Best solution I found is using computer AC speakers
Great video with lots of detail. I need a bit of help though. I'm thinking to get my first DJ controller. It's either the DJ2GO2 Touch or the Party Mix. I'm leaning towards the DJ2GO2 Touch because of its form factor, but the absence of line faders worries me. Is it a big deal they these only have a cross fader? Would the Party Mix be a better choice for starting out?
@@digitaldjtips Sorry, I have one more question. I found a second hand Numark Mixtrack Pro 1 for the same price as a second hand Party Mix. It's quite an old model (8 years or so), but would it be better since it's more full featured?
Good evening. I read that the controller does not record, but from the running pc can it be done? I would like to buy the Numark pt01 and record what I do. Could I do it with the Numark djgo2 touch? Otherwise what mixer or controller would I need? Thanks so much!
Hey Phil! I am using the Serato DJ Lite software but the crossfader doesn't seem to work! Could you please suggest a solution? Great fan of your videos by the way!!!
Even WITH the Touch upgrade, it's not a very good compact controller tbh. I bought it as a backup to prepare playlists and maybe spin at small parties, i.e. a BBQ at my friend's house. But even for that, it's a pain in the a** really. The main reason is the lack of EQs - try mixing two house tracks with a heavy bassline without distortion, if no EQs are present at all! I did a little workaround by remapping the level knobs to HPF/LPF, so that I could at least fade out some bass by applying a slight HPF effect. Still, I kinda regret buying this thing, but then again, it only cost me around 60€ which isn't too much to worry about.
Do not feel bad bro I have done the same thing. I was hoping that the guitar center had the touch but allegedly they were sold out so I pick up the DJ2GO2 FOR $65.00 which was not bad but really wanted the touch.
Great video, I just don't see the point in the controller, essential controls for djing are mid, bass and treble along with channel faders. Filters are standard these days too, no effects either, I know it's designed as budget but just don't see the point.
@@digitaldjtips yeah maybe it's useful for the travelling dj to set cue points etc with the jog wheel, can't really go wrong for the price, just them vital nobs and sliders are missing for me.
i am a complete beginner to mixing and i'm looking for a controller. i was thinking about the ddj 200, dj2 go or the party mix. which would you recommend????
"and old fashioned USB"... if you dont know technical names, please dont bother doing reviews. Your viewers are now sitting here wondering, what is an old fashioned USB. Perhaps USB 2. Perhaps USB 3. Perhaps normal USB. Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps... Would it really have been that difficult to actually just show the USB lead?
Co-piloting on road trips just got real!
Ha ha, yeah
It works with VirtualDJ, as well! Definitely on my need-to-get list. It is great to have something like that in my travel bag for those just-in-case times.
Absolutely
Nice review, thanks. I bought this new version in amazon USA. I had old version and that was useful when I making setlist before playing.
Thanks for watching :)
Mine just came in the mail today. Perfect size to take with you anywhere.
Enjoy!
Got mine ordered a few days ago, I cannot wait for it to arrive!!!
have fun!
This is a perfect controller for backup.
We think so 👌
i didnt like the previous versions of this but it had potential.With the better jogs i would find this useful as i am often away from my gear but my computer goes where i go and this would be cool for trying ideas out and setting loops and cues on the go.Also small parties would be good just bring this and my mac and then back in the bag job done.
Perfect uses 👌
Awesome device. I wish Serato would finally allow/produce an iPad version of Serato DJ. Everyone would pay for it.
Would be great!
hi Phil, this indeed is a great little controller. Thanks for the review~
Maybe I'll run into you at NAMM. get some sleep lol
Trying :)
Will be purchasing one with the mini rig speaker..great little set up!
Nice!
@@digitaldjtips should hope so too...it was on your recommendation 😀 keep up the good work guys...love the channel.
what a great video. thanks so much for going over everything especially the adapters because this will be sent directly from amazon to my nephew in another state. stay safe and thanks again!
No problem, thanks for watching :)
I have the previous version, DJ2GO2 with Serato Lite and I have never been able to pre-listen/cue/monitor without the audio going out through the speakers as well. Any solutions?
I would eqs...but looks super cool. I record all my mixes in the headphones at home these days anyway so this could work
Nice one :)
pretty cool I love it and wish to get it as my new year gift lol.....Good job boss
Cheers
No mic input? Need that
Could always use a small external mixer :)
DJ Scratch of EPMD did a dope little scratch routine video on it on his IG page (DJScratch The Turntable Whisperer)...crazy!
Love routines on this thing!
Can you do a review of the 2go2 touch with djay for iPhone
We don't tend to do reviews of specific combinations like that but thanks for the suggestion. If you have any questions I'd suggest checking out the Algoriddim forums, they're pretty busy and usually very helpful :)
like it. big fun in a small package
Definitely :)
What app do you use 😢
I was looking at this to use when I’m doing my Radio Show looks good
Awesome, it's a great little controller
A GR8 device for you can't sleep :D
So not that much of a change it would be better if they could an EQ section
Small changes :)
Agreed! 👍🏻 EQs would be a great addition but given the size of it I can see why they left them off. Still looks a good bit of kit.
Craig Hamilton managed to remap one section of the pads to low EQ and it works
@@chifundoanthonyntwana941 could you expand on that? sounds like a great idea but i dont understand how you could use a pad as a knob
Pretty cool little controller.
Apart from it's function as a travel controller, I'm wondering if it's possible to map the browse and cue point buttons to my rekordbox DVS setup in addition to an external mixer (23c)? Purely for basic track browse/load and cue point functions .
Nice idea, let us know if you try it out
ciao . si puo togliere la modalita vinile jog ? sul tuo serato c'e kiave tonalità Am C f F ecc?
If this tiny unit was just a tad wider and could fit EQ on it, it'd be a must-have for me.
Would be a nice addition
This was a awesome Review. I still got my starlight Hercules till this day I know few of my DJ buddy's goin use it asap 👊🏾. Keep up the work.
Funk Up Salute Peace ✌🏾
Thanks for watching!
Would I be able to connect this via usb to the Rane Seventy to get extra channels? I want a 3rd channel for accapellas.
hi i know this is an older video but has anyone tried using a wireless bluetooth transmitter to wireless bluetooth speakers with this?
You cannot DJ with Bluetooth, there is too much latency.
would of considered this for some party’s but the no eq is a dealbreaker for me
Yeah even a single knob would be a nice addition
No bass or filter knob, really ?
If you're using Traktor you could map the level knobs to be filters or bass instead if you really wanted to. I have one of the original 2GOs and was thining of doing this.
Just buy ddj200 and problem solve
Yet they included the sync button. 😂
Been trying to cop one of these for a month now and it has been sold out:-/
Proving popular!
Thanks for a great video and explanation. One of the best on on youtube. What is the name of the end mix of the video?
It's an unreleased track from our very own Joey Santos :)
@@digitaldjtips sounds good to me.
Glad you like it!
Why do they even bother with tmp faders I would do tap and arrows to save space
Good point!
is this still a valid choice in 2023 ? my youngest son love Djing and im looking to buy him a first controller without breaking the bank.
Yes, although Numark Party Mix would probably be a better bet (still cheap, more controls).
Ive no idea about dj stuff, but my friends wnat to get into it and I was thinking about getting her this..
Is it a good idea?
Yes, it is a low risk purchase.
Ordered mine on the way next week can’t wait to get and start useing good video 👍🏿
Awesome :)
Hello. Just bought the numark dj2go touch with serato lite. I already have DJ Pro setup on my laptop because I also have the pioneer flx6. how do I use my numark DJ2Go touch on my already installed Serato Pro without having to upgrade and pay for the upgrade
You can't, as you don't actually own Serato DJ Pro, the FLX6 is unlocking it for you. You'd have to actually buy it.
Is this now technically the cheapest way to get a 4-out audio interface, now that Numark stopped the DJIO and NI stopped the Audio 2 etc?
Maybe, I am sure you can get non-branded 4-out audio interfaces if you look hard enough
Does it support rekordbox aswell?
I've been trying to know this for quite sometime now
No
I wish Denon , Pioneer , and serato would make a small compact controller similar to this specifically for beat grid editing and preparation (not performance) no eqs basic ability to play two tracks together via sync to ensure maybe your mix out cue and starting point on another track worked together. I think if they could make it affordable enough it would be a great product.
it really is a great product especially for pro DJs that have regular setups as well! (I have Rane 12's and a 72)
DJ Ace Yeah man. I would love to have some kind of tactile/compact grid editing tool that I could take on trips or just do prep while sitting on my bed with the laptop. no output needed, just headphones and a way to access grid edit functions and set cue points.

y'all got the companies on speed dial, let em know lol
Why does it makes areal bad static sound while macbook charging
Not sure
can you plug a CD player with this set up?
Not easily, no
Thank You definitely getting it for my vacation!
Awesome, have fun!
Hello- Great review - thank you. Will this controller also support Serato Video within Serato DJ Pro please? I'd like to use the platters to scrub through video footage...
If you have a video file loaded, yes
Mines seems not to work with Serato DJ pro for some reason what to do to help please
No idea sorry should just work!
Very nice video.i can ad some of my music from my laptop?and also i can record?im not a dj but i like to try?
Yes you can use local music on your Laptop to DJ with, you'll need to upgrade to Serato Pro to record though
Great review! Does it have lagging issues when used with an iPad?
Not that I know of
@@digitaldjtips Thanks for the quick reply back. I just subscribed.
So it does come with Searto built into it
Not built in as such, you just download it from the website and plug the controller in
Can you practice just with headphones or do you need a speaker?
Best to have a speaker too.
@@digitaldjtips so how do dj’s practice on long haul flights lol?
Hello! I have purchased NewMark DJGO2 Touch which says to be compatible with my DJayPro app but I have an issue :(. The sound in the speaker (I tried few) is delayed compared to the headphones.
FYI I am using an iPad and all are connected by wires. Also checked different wires.
Otherwise I love the controller and Thank You for your great reviews.
What should I do?
It will be the speakers. I am guessing you’re using Bluetooth speakers. Even when wired, most have a delay.

It's a weird one, we've not heard that before. I hope someone else can help!
Yes! Best buy tks.
Thanks for watching :)
Quick question I'm thinking about purchasing that can you scratch can you transform how do you control the wheel when you going back and forth
Just like any other...but way smaller :)
Can I ask , cam I mix track from download from CZcams ? Must be extended mix track that can mix or original mix can mix thx.
Yes you can, but you shouldn't - music is cheap to buy

DJM-450 doesn't have a sound card, so no. You could map this to Traktor Pro 3.

Go for the 2GO2 since you already have a 400 :)
Okay thanks for the advice the dj2go2 looks nice and i will purchase one
I reckon this one went for the memes :D
Does this work with fl studio?
No, FL Studio is not DJ software
How would you connect this to an external mixer ??
Output of this controller to the input of the external mixer using whichever cable you need
I currently have a sb3 with serato dj pro, can I essentially plug it in and it will run of my existing software?
If you're using the SB3 with Serato Pro you must have bought a license so yes
Cool little device! You’re quite loud though Phil! I hope you didn’t wake your neighbours!
It was 5am, lol - but no I don't think I did.
Thank you for the nice review! I have one unanswered question though. In case I just wanted to mix some music for myself at home without headphones, could I just connect my laptop with some bluetooth speakers or would the speakers need to be connected directly with the DJ2GO? Thank you in advance!
Not easily - you'd have to connect your speaker with a wire to the DJ2GO2.

What do you think ofVonyx stm500bt as external EQ?
Haven't tried it so couldn't say, looks interesting though
I guess the sync button isn’t a feature worth mentioning
All controllers have them
Hi Phil! Do you know if its possible to map the DJ2GO2 Touch in Traktor 3?
Have a look on Traktor Bible, if it is then no doubt someone will have mapped it
Phil, if I was to purchase a DJ2GO2 Touch, is there a discount if I wanted to upgrade to Serato DJ Pro?
No, but there are regularly Serato DJ Pro discounts - make sure you're on their mailing list and be patient.
Great video with lots of detail. I need a bit of help though. I'm thinking to get my first DJ controller. It's either the DJ2GO2 Touch or the Party Mix.

I'd go for the Party Mix, it's super small as well and channel faders are nice to have when learning to mix
@@digitaldjtips Thank you for answering! It's a big help.
@@digitaldjtips Sorry, I have one more question. I found a second hand Numark Mixtrack Pro 1 for the same price as a second hand Party Mix. It's quite an old model (8 years or so), but would it be better since it's more full featured?
If your budget allows I'd go for a brand new party mix, more than enough to get started with
Hi, is that MacBook pro the new 16 inch? what serato you have? light or pro?
No it's a 13" Macbook Pro, either Lite or Pro will work with this controller
can this be used as a MIDI controller inside of ableton live? cheers
Probably but you’d have to map it. It is not designed for that.
@@digitaldjtips part of the process but worth it for recording midi input on effects
All that needs to have is an extra 2cm in height and they can add a 3 band EQ using knobs running along the top! What gives Numark?
That would be pretty cool :)
Much agreed! Hopefully, they read this :-)
Can I use an iPad instead of a laptop?
Yes you can
Good evening. I read that the controller does not record, but from the running pc can it be done? I would like to buy the Numark pt01 and record what I do. Could I do it with the Numark djgo2 touch? Otherwise what mixer or controller would I need? Thanks so much!
Yes, you record in the software

I spoke to a Sirius XM DJ at NAMM, who records sets that get listened to by millions of people... on this controller, on plane journeys.. :)
you don't get it. its a minimalist controller. not a performance controller. Back up gear or for basic dj use - practice or background event music.
How much do you pay for this
$70 ish
i am a complete beginner to mixing and i'm looking for a controller. i was thinking about the ddj 200, dj2 go or the party mix. which would you recommend????
Any of the three will be fine, I'd lean towards the Party Mix if you've got a laptop you'll be DJing with

We did quite some time ago: czcams.com/video/YH7p8BRCgPU/video.html& :)

Bought this. Laptop doesn't support the AVX. Installed AVX and still not working. Be careful your laptop is able to use this.
Wha is AVX? Never heard of it. Serato should work with any Windows or Mac laptop.
The jogwheels is the only difference...
trueeee - i watched the whole video to see if there were any other differences xD
I like it,,,can i have it?
For $79 at the right store, yes :)
Still need to hook it up to external speakers so I am going to pass on this
do u know this is necessary? u can't use it with connecting to external speakers?
