How does the Numark Mixtrack Pro 3 improve upon its predecessors Pro and Pro 2? Noticeable differences include visual enhancements, jogwheel functionality, and touchstrips, but do they over-complicate the performance pads? Check out the video and full article review for details.

I love this controller and it also perfectly works with Dj Player Pro.
That's good to hear :)
are the pitch faders accurate enough to beat match with?
I use an NS7II and love it to hell. I needed a portable solution so after careful consideration I picked this up. Mainly for the touch strip, the long pitch adjustment, and instant compatibility with Serato DJ. Some irks... That weird touchstrip control, no gains for the channels, no aux input, no monitor out. While I mix in my headphones all the time, it would be nice to have at minimum a balanced monitor out. All in all, not too mad about having something to beat up and have similar NS7 functionality.
Just ordered this DJ controller. Cant wait to try it out
thanks but you should do a comparison between this controller and the ddjsb.
Might help on mine and other peoples decisions
This was super helpful. Ended up buying this over the Pioneer DDJ-SB2. Thanks!
Why?
Which software would you recommend to be best to go with this controller?
Likely Serato DJ :)
why did choose something other than a looping nob for halving
Defo getting these
I don't agree with the conclusion here. It is not an advancement to the MT2 as you loose the top row of encoders for a wonky touch-strip. The filter knob is nice, but they did take away 4 freely assignable knobs, so that is rather a moot point. The long pitch faders are only interesting to people who don't use the SYNC option, but who would really? Certainly not a beginner. It's a weird re-imagination aimed a nobody specifically.
Some good points made here and always good to get another take on things Thanks for the feedback. :-)
Hi Phil
Keep up the good work with the reviews. We'd be lost without you.. I've just bought this Mixtrack Pro 3 dj controller for my son, but he wants to run the software called Djay Pro using the iPad Air. How on earth do I get this to work ? I've tried connecting the MTP3 to a USB powered 4 port hub by Elkin but the mixtrack just goes through a crazy colourful light flashing show and doesn't stop until I disconnect the USB lead.I've also bought the camera connection kit and connect that to a USB/USB lead which is then connected to the powered USB and the opposite end connected to the camera kit. Then the lighting end is connected to the iPad. Pleeeeeease help me. Why can't I get this to work where others say that mixtrack pro 3 WILL definitely work using an iPad 😞..Many thanks VW
Hey Vincent! The Mixtrack Pro 3 isn't plug-and-play compatible with the iPad Air, that's why you're having issues with it. The Mixtrack Pro 3 will work with djay Pro on a laptop, however :)
well I think you should have that option I buy then guess I stick to my turntables
can you only controll the wet/dryness of all the fx at once?
Looks nice
Do you recommend this for complete beginner?
Yes, it's a good beginner controller.
Can I start DJ ing with this controller or should I start with a cheaper one?
+chris Katsanis you should start with this one, it is cheap for a good quality controller and is also easy to use.
+chris Katsanis It's a good one, here's our full review: www.digitaldjtips.com/2015/05/review-pioneer-ddj-wego3/ If you're interested in other controllers, all the info you need is in our FREE DJ gear & software guides - grab them by joining here djtips.co/guide
Hahaha wreos
Hercules Inpulse 300 and Numark Mixtrack Pro 3, which should i buy?
Always the best Phil. Good lookin sir
Does this actually have visual feedback on the jogs or are they just backlit? I know Serato Intro doesn't allow visual feedback for the jog wheels, but if one were to upgrade, would you be able to see the lights behind the jogs spinning?
will it be compatible with Traktor Pro? Thanks!
Albin Kzk Since Mixtrack Pro 3’s hardware controls appear to your computer as a
generic MIDI device, it can indeed be custom-mapped to any other DJ
application that supports user or developer-created custom mapping.
MyMetalMedia tkanks for the info ! but since i don't know how to do that, I guess i'll have to wait.. :)
anytime and its really not that difficult tbh, no more effort than setting up any other deck with traktor. :p
I want to start DJing, and I'm pretty confused with what controller I should buy. Could you tell me which controller is the best for a beginner like me?
+Vasu Ojha Hi, thanks for your question - all the info you need is in our free DJ controller & software guides - grab them by joining here djtips.co/guide
For a beginner looking for a DJ controller at around this price point what would you recommend other than this controller? (I have also been looking at the Gemini Slate 4)
Hey Matty! Yep, this and the Slate 4 are good for beginners. Another one off the top is the Pioneer DJ DDJ-SB or SB2. Also, all the info you need is in our free DJ controller/software guide - grab it by joining here: digitaldjtips.com/join
Pioneer DDJ-SB or the SB2, the Mixtrack 2 pro is a lot more compact if you plane to get case or throw in a backpack, there is also the Reloop Terminal mix 4 or a Dennon Mc4000.
Here is a link to a thread I made with mapping files and diagrams to use the NUMARK MIXTRACK PRO 3 with Traktor 2.x! Enjoy and share please!

***** What's better, Numark Mixtrack Pro 3, or the Pioneer DDJ - SB?
Pls reply
***** Reason?
***** need more evidence from other people. so i can be sure what to buy
***** IDK
Noah Arreola I was just about to ask this question! Im currently leaning on the DDJ-SB, it does seem a higher quality controller and i personally think it looks nicer, though the features on both decks are more or less the same.
let me add another controller on the question.
Wego 3
Im kinda voting on it, since it's portable so yeah.
***** i am having trouble deciding if i should get a numark mixtrack pro 3 or a dj mixer which should i get for discos with a setup of a laptop, and cdjs
Not being funny here but for the whole video, you’ve literally conned the whole device saying about how the structure of the Mixtrack Pro 3 wasn’t as expected, the FX slider was a bit of a gimmick, the Base, Treble, Mid and Filter buttons were small compared to others, and how the loop buttons were complicated and difficult to use. Just my opinion here I just think this device deserves a lot more positives than negatives especially for the beginners who aren’t looking for a £1,000 DJ controller I think this is very substantial and well designed! No hate here just my opinion.
We have northing against this unit, just saying it how we see it.
Nice review , thanks
Is Pioneer gonna make an DDJ-SB 2 to compete with this..?
ClectaSkiMusic The SR already acts as an in between for SB and SX, a second model SB would be unnecessary.
Yeah its called the SX
ClectaSkiMusic Pioneer dosent need to compete... THey just are the best... 'Coming from a Numark mixtrack pro 2 user' :P
Videox Jayze I have mixtrack pro 2 too :D
😂
I ordered mt pro 3...cant wait to try it..im beginner...too many people in shops told me mt pro 3 is only for serato dj...i learned something in virtual dj and i think its better for me...so is true i can use this on any mixing software?
+GeefDeepMusic Yes, it's compatible with Virtual DJ :)
+Digital DJ Tips i already have it bud virtual dj says free use is only for mouse and keyboard and i need license :O for 99$...if i want use numark...does anybody know where i can get license for free?
Does it have eco, bi-filter, low-pass, hi-pass effects?
It has a filter for each channel, as well as treble/mid/bass EQs, and FX controllable through Serato DJ :)
Does it work with virtual dj? And would I have to purchase the license for this device to work?
+Bryan domingo yes and yes
+Bryan domingo Yep for both! :)
Ableton ?
do you speakers,or can I use this with just headphones?
Either :)
thanks! just getting into it and need somewhere to start lol..
SOLD!
I love this controller
Cool :)
This is a really late comment, but does this come with a free Serato DJ upgrade from Serato DJ-Intro?
Should I get this or the DDJ200 as a beginner? I’ve seen both your reviews but still can’t decide
Out of those two I'd get the Mixtrack
@@digitaldjtips is serato a free software to use with the mixtrack then or will I need to pay for a subscription?
It unlocks Serato Lite for free
my numark mixtrack pro only has a front plug doesnt have other inputs in the front
I'm highly doubting between the Numark Mixtrack Pro 3 and Numark Mixtrack Quad... anyone who can help me out?
Probably the Pro 3 - here's our reviews of each:
Numark Mixtrack Pro 3: www.digitaldjtips.com/2015/05/review-numark-mixtrack-pro-3/
Numark Mixtrack Quad: www.digitaldjtips.com/2013/09/review-video-numark-mixtrack-quad-dj-controller/
What are your rca cables going to?
Is it possible to have the controller hooked up and playing the music through the laptop speakers?
No, they need to be hooked up to external powered speakers. Serato doesn't let you use internal speakers when a controller is plugged in.
Thank you for the quick response,love your videos!!
so between the mixtrack pro 3 vs the pioneer ddj-sb2 what makes the numark stand out and better considering both controllers have similarities between them ?
+Adyna L Both are good beginner DJ controllers for Serato DJ Intro (or upgrade), but here's the standout features on each: Numark Mixtrack Pro 3 - long-throw pitch faders, touchstrips for scrubbing and other purposes, 2 headphone jacks for easy trade-off while mixing, dedicated channel filter knobs, 2-deck control capability, and it comes bundled with same packs from Prime Loops. Pioneer DDJ-SB2 - filter fade, 4-deck control (although not ideal for a lot of 4-deck mixing), Pad Trans beat effect (cuts volume in time with beat), trim pots for each channel, channel VUs for increased volume control.
Digital DJ Tips pioner dj ddj sb2 or numark mixtrack pro 3?
Does the mixtrack 3 have a stutter button?
Work with Traktor?
+Dillon Horst Yes, you'll have to download a controller mapping for use with the software though - try Traktor Bible or DJ TechTools :)
Can i use it with traktor?!
+Sam16760 Probably! I would check Traktor Bible and DJ TechTools for mappings :)
Mixtrack pro 3 or party mixer?
Pro 3 :)
Which one is better or more advanced，the mixtrackpro2 or mixtrackpro3?
Mixtrack platinum out 3/07/2016
Hi, Would you recommend this or the recently released Pioneer DDJ RB? I'm looking to get into mixing, purely entry level.
+Prashant Kirpalani Good question :) Depends on your software preference, Serato DJ or Rekordbox DJ?
Tbh haven't looked at either. What would your recommendation be?
Works with Virtual Dj 7 or 8?Can be malipulated FX from VirtualDJ?
you can get a mixtrack pro 3 for virtual dj it comes with special edition virtual dj
Can I use my phone or tablet?
No, just computer software that supports the controller.
What do you think about this as a backup to a DDJ-SX2 and a travel mixer?
Would be fine as a backup, for a travel controller I'd rather have a Hercules Starlight (or DJ2GO2) as this is still pretty big
@@digitaldjtips I have the DJ2GO2 but if stopped working and Serato can't get it to work. Thanks.
Can I use this with my Mac pc ? And do I have to buy external speakers in order to use it or can I just use my headphones? Sorry rookie question
Yes you can, you don't need to buy speakers but it'll be more fun!
Hi I have this control yesterday can you help me how to upgrade to serato dj thanks
has gain ?
does it have vinyl cuz I need vinyl mode to start a set???
and can I add USB directly into it so it doesn't need a lappie??
Saritha Menon this seems to be a basic model, then it likely does not do USB, so you will need a laptop
What laptop do you use?
Hey Julian we generally use Macbook Pros
Does this controller work with Virtual DJ without mapping or does it require mapping?
No it should be plug and play
Hi I'm thinking between the Pioneer DDJ-SB (and maybe upgrade the serato intro which puts them to approximately the same price) and the Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S2 MK2.Which one should i get ?
Stefan Sazdov Decide whether you want to use Serato or Traktor, then choose your hardware depending on that decision.
+SteviX EDM The S2 is very unreliable, it crapped out three times last night, once i had to close the software and re open it, and this was at a club.
+Ego techno Rly, are you talking about the mk2 o.O
+SteviX EDM pioneer ddj-sb is better and i used that before. but idvise u to use the ddjsx
elijah noel how come ?It's better at what,cuz i haven't used either traktor or serato yet.Beside ddj-sb is serato intro
Can you change the range on the pitch sliders? I'm mixing uptempo stuff mainly hardstyle hardcore frenchcore and it ranges between 150 200bpm I know you can do with pioneer and so forth but this do it?
Try pressing Shift then the Pitch Bend up or down buttons. Or clicking the -/+% part of the display in the decks, with your mouse pointer.
hey, no GAIN per channel ?
Nope, just master
I'm using mixxx... anyway, the filter knob is mapped to the gain firstly and with shift --> HP/LP filter
can we use this product in virtual dj 8
Yep!
A review without a sound test??
does it work with abletone live 9? if yes, is there anything additional that I have to do to work with those two without any problems?
+Ola Balcerzak I imagine it could with the right mapping - no experience with it so uncertain as to how well it would work out!
¿what kind of speakers i can use for the mixtrack pro 3?
+DJ XEFREX It has RCA unbalanced outputs, so anything that works with those :)
Numark mixtrack pro 3 or Pioneer DDJ 200? Pls help me..🙏🏻
We have reviews of both here, have you watched the DDJ-200 review?
it have mappings for traktor pro 2? thank you for support
Works on amd computer?
this works with ableton live 9 ?????
does this work with Djay Pro?
It's not plug and play necessarily, but it's one of their natively supported Midi controllers
question I have a numark mixtrack pro3 I want to upgrade with serato DJ full it is free or I need to buy please
+Julio Chavez You have to pay for the upgrade.
OK thanks bro
When is this controller available in the US?
Battlefield491 It's available now however, I was planning to buy one myself but after actually looking at it, I'm going for Pioneer DDJ - SB hands down...
DENON DJ MC4000
How can i activate slicer Mode?
Hi
I was thinking about beginning djing I made a short mix in virtual dj: soundcloud.com/albin-brolin/house-mix-one is this the right thing to buy as a beginner or is there any other model I should look for? do I really need a controller at all? what are the benefits of having one?
Thanks for the help :)
can someone please help me and explain what is the key difference beetween the pro 3 and just the 3
+Koruption TheGamingLad The Mixtrack Pro 3 comes with a built-in audio interface, making the Mixtrack 3 purely a MIDI controller. The other difference is the color (black vs. grey). This article explains in more detail - [NAMM 2015] Numark Mixtrack & Mixtrack Pro 3: www.digitaldjtips.com/2015/01/namm-2015-numark-mixtrack-mixtrack-pro-3/
Hi, what controller is better, mixtrack pro 3 or wego 3?
Or ddj sb2
+Noah Arreola it depends on what you're looking for
Will the dj controler work with Djay pro 2 software
Last we checked yes it will :)
how can i record a set to the laptop? there is only one output on back which i`m using to conect the speakers.
+sadamatt You can record within full versions of DJ software, or you can try using a splitter cable to "split" the single output :)
so 2 rca to rca splitters conected oto the output? do i still will get high quality stereo sound?
How can you hook up dj speakers to ddj sb?
go with pioneer ddj sb2! no ones beating that controller at that price. it looks like they rushed this one.
Is there an indicator or shows the bpm ?
Not on the controller itself
Does the Mic works with Virtual DJ
Should do, yes.
Im doubting con buying the ddj sb or this one
someone that helps me deciding please?
Javi jambo Buy the DDJ-SB. The Numark is too gimmicky and misses Roll and Hotloops, a Vital FX for creative mixing imo. The Pioneer is better built and has that premium feel, no cheap butttons used. Also, the Pioneer costs less than the Mixtrack Pro 3, so the DDJ-SB is the way to go.
Would anyone recommend this for a beginner??
Yes, more than good enough to get started :)
Is there a built in sound card?
Hey Charlie, with the Pro - yes!
make review for gemini slate 4
We did one for the Slate 2 (similar): www.digitaldjtips.com/reviews/gemini-slate-2/
works djuiced 40 with it?
can you put cds in or do you have to use a laptop only
+David Coleman No CD slots, it's a software controller for use with a laptop :)
+Digital DJ Tips Dumb question but... can i hook it up to my desktop aswell..?
can u use the mixtrack pro 3 with virtual dj?
Dj Toby Nop only serato
can we use this contrôler with traktor?
+Haykel Cheffai You can with the right controller mapping, it just works the easiest with Serato DJ, and comes bundled with Serato DJ Intro.
It's usb?
Right! Connect the controller via USB to your laptop :)
@@digitaldjtips WHAT USB DOES IT USE GOT ONE WITH A PRINTER USB IT FAILS PLEASE WHAT KIND OF USB DOES IT TAKE.???
The "printer" one should work fine, I'd try another such cable and see if your cable is faulty.
nice controller
is it possible to scratch with this
+leo gunderson Yes :)
+Digital DJ Tips www.digitaldjtips.com/2015/08/scratching-on-controllers-7-myths-busted/
Is it plastic or metal?
+FWS Nicholas According to Numark, it's made of "...high impact polymer composite which provides strength, durability, as well as making it light weight."
+Digital DJ Tips alright, thanks I wanted to make sure it wasn't made out of cheap plastic.
can I use an mp3 player on this like an ipod?
+Ak Lis no
+Ak Lis Unfortunately no I'm afraid
Does it work with Windows 10 OS?
+Osman Valle Looking at the spec sheet on the product page, it looks like it only supports up to Windows 8.1 at the moment
+Osman Valle yes it works with windows 10. I have it.
+jayton kash Interesting, hopefully they'll update the specifications then! Thanks for letting us know :)
Thanks a lot +jayton kash and +Digital DJ Tips, I just installed the software in my PC and it is working perfectly thanks a lot!
+Osman Valle Awesome, glad to hear it :)
Where is the Keylock?
+Jan Cardona Not sure this controller has it - would likely need to lock it within the software, or map it to something else on the controller
+Digital DJ Tips ah ok, as long as it's in the software, thank you!
I was waiting for this controller for some time but really disappointed. Pioneer DDJ -SB is still better. The functionality in Pioneer DDJ - SB is far more superior then Numark Mixtrack Pro 3 even though Numark's is 2015 model...
PKMMK157127 can you explain in short what do you mean exaclty? coz im about to buy a mixtrack pro 3 or a ddj-sb, any im up to any information. thanks in advance!
antaresdraco okay i finally went with the mixtrack pro 3. ddj sb and mixtrack pro 3 are almost the same, just some minor differences which is more up to style and not functionality. for me a VU meter matters a lot, and for Gods sake it is a new model, up to newer expectations, and actually the FX controlrs are great, ive tried it and some dj-s showed me that why it is good and know i admit its better than knobs. so all in all i just found pointless to buy an older controller with less possibilities for an extra 25 euros.
I am looking at getting this, I am a beginner. Just looking for using as a hobby, just to mess around, will this be ok for what I am looking to do? I use mess around with vinyl.

Absolutely 👍
S4, if you got the money. Vci 400s are cheap as hell now too. Numark is garbage...
You're probably better off buying a used ns6 from guitar center or something for like $130.00 more
