this is amazing....i remember as a 20 year old i wanted to save up for 2 technics mk2 a mixer , amlifiers , speakers ,headphones and so much records .... how times have changed
DJs these days are so spoiled with technology, but that's not to say old skool DJs can't take advantage as well!
I still have my Technics SL1200s and Numark mixer 👌
@@eamonhennessy9327 I had Numark TT2s. Just as good as 12Tens. God I miss them! This party 2 Numark looks good!!
Lol.. Same here.. I settled for a mixer from tandy and fake sl1200s
@@craigwilson510 your right there I've got both and there isn't much difference
These are such great little controllers I learnt on this .... My set up has messed up recently so I just bought this as a temp controller .... I rate these and Great as a spare or to use as independent lights once you move up the DJ equipment scale ... nice to see the upgrade to the jogs and the addition of the filter
Absolutely! It's such an underrated controller!
@@djkit shame there is no mic input that is what I’d like to see
I'm realy happy newmark worked on feedback given by the community
Definitely! The new features are very important!
Just bought this particular controller to begin learning, thanks for the insight in to it. Great video! 😁
Hope you enjoy it! Don't forget to sub for more tips!
I love the controller it's really cool I like making cool mixes on it thanks for the review bro!
No problem! Don't forget to sub for more! 🔥
Great video! Very informative! I have got one of the Numark Party Mix 2 controllers myself, and it works really well. I would definately recommend to beginners.
Yea, it's such a great controller for the price point! Glad you liked the video, don't forget to sub for more!
Just curious, why do you specifically mention it for beginners opposed to just anyone looking for casual play?
I should have taken these more seriously. Now that I have full turntables and everything, here I am looking for something easy to move around with all the essentials. This whole thing with my iPad and iPhone is just amazing!
What app on the iPhone it works with ? I wasn’t to sure what he said in the video thank you please let me know
Great review! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! Don't forget to sub!
That featured using the phone instead of a laptop, i loved it
Glad you liked it! Don't forget to sub for more!
I tried to use it ain’t it won’t let me play anything. “Say operation can’t be completed “
Thank you for this video, nice intro!
I literally JUST bought the Numark Party Mix2 today….affer seeing THIS video and the Demo from Mr. Sonny James on the Serato channel this past weekend. I was looking for a portable solution and practice device as an alternative to my Workhorse DDJ-REV1 and my beloved 🤩 RANE ONE.
The light show jawn was a bit gimmicky for me but after seeing how it’s defeated and actually OUT THE BOX 📦 the default is OFF! 🔥🔥🔥💯👌🏾
I’m guessing there might be a time when I’m just messing around etc and want to use them!? 🤷🏽♂️ But I’ve got lighting already. LOL 😂
THANK YOU Once again for your incredible content.
Blessings from The USA 🇺🇸
Hey, thanks so much for your positive comment! I'm so happy that you found the video helpful. We can't say it enough, the Party Mix is such a great controller, people think it's a toy just because of the lights!
Awesome review!
Glad you enjoyed it! Don't forget to sub!
I have the original party mix, my first ever controller. I thought it would be a fun way to entertain myself, if learnt how to DJ at 45 hahaha. And it is a fantastic little device., I love it. Party Mix 2 definitely looks like a good upgrade.
The Partymix is a great entry level controller, and also a great back up controller as it fits in your pocket! 😂
I'm 45 and just really Learning how to play the piano properly. It's never too late to endulge your passions bro.
It maybe some kind of mid life crisis but I've acquired like 12 synths, hammond organs and drum machines. And now I'm looking up a video about mixers lol
Stay curious, dont lose passion and practice, practice, practice.
Hobbies keeps us sane...
Peace
Am planning to start at 41, was happy to see you comment. Hope you stuck to it. 😊
It's never too late to learn a new hobby or skill. It should be celebrated and admired. Cheers!
I’m 44 and I want to learn too
Great review! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Don't forget to sub!
I got 1 still learning how to use it but i love it
just bought mine , my numark is so cool.
Thank you! I needed help with setting up on my iphoenn
Glad I could help! Don't forget to sub!
thanks! your video helps me make a decision
Awesome! demo Love cheers
Thank you kindly! Don't forget to sub!
I just picked up one at Walmart (of all places) and found to be a great entry-level controller as it will do all tasks DJs need to do at minimum.
My only gripe, if it could be called that, is that Numark missed an opportunity with the lights and didn't add a metronome option to help us n00bs with beatmatching similar to to what the Hercules Starlight has.
Now, if that option is already there in Serato or DJay, I'd love to know where it is.
theres a plugin
Sick, im finna get one been mixing with my laptop and will buy meself my first controller
Do it! It's a great controller to start off with!
thanks for the comparison
No problem! Check out our channel for more!
Just went to buy one right now
Great choice!
What a mix
Nice
Thanks for the comment! Don't forget to sub!
Excellent 🌟😎
Thanks! Don't forget to sub!
This is cool I can’t wait to get minds and I am going to have fun with it
It's so much fun!
Just wanted to ask you when I plug it up does it supposed to blink a few times or it’s just supposed to come straight on already?
Hi, looking for help regarding using this controller with my ipad on dj algoriddim Pro. I get no sound through my headphones as all. The headphone button on the dj controller boosts the sound through the main speaker with nothing coming through my headphones at all. If I use serato dj lite on my laptop the controller works fine. However, I would prefer to use dj algoriddim Pro as the software is much better. What am I not selecting on the settings? 😭
How do I trigger 16 bar loop in Serato DJ Pro? PM2 only triggers up to 8 bars. Scratching my head!
Great review! Looking at this for a present. If running on an iPad, would you still recommend or need the Apple USB camera adapter?
I agree with your comment regarding the lights. I think Numark could have omitted that feature and used the funds towards more effects/filters etc. Regardless, this is neat and I'm looking into purchasing one. Thanks for your review!
Indeed. The lights are cheesy and I don't see myself ever using them. I'd trade them for a mid-band eq pot any day!
Thanks for this solid review. I just picked one up for casual use, however I can't see why this unit isn't perfectly capable for professionals as well. I told my long-time DJ friend, who's been a professional for a couple of decades at this point, that I picked one up and as expected he completely trashed it calling it a toy. Now granted it's entry-level gear, but considering I started playing before him back in the day, and was part of his inspiration apparently, I look forward to schooling him on my little toy. 😆
Edit: As a small side note, you can pick up a mini bluetooth tx with 3.5mm connectivity for wireless headphones use. As long as it incorporates aptX tech, latency should be of no concern, however I have yet to try it (soon).
So just curious if this is plugged into an Apple phone will the sound come out of the phone speaker?
Can i use my android with this dj controller..? Thanks
hey bro! This device know classic jog bend mode or just vinyl jog mode? thx for answer
This was the most helpful video of all of them! Thank you! I couldn’t seem to figure out why it wouldn’t turn on when connected to my phone, until you mentioned it needs the charger in too because it wouldn’t give it enough power! 😂 also do you know if I can make Apple Music work with it?
Great to hear, thank you so much for your lovely comment! Apple Music isn't compatible with any DJ software I'm afraid, Tidal is probably the closest equivalent in terms of commercial music!
Tidal is great. I use it. For while Spotify was supported in virtual dj. That wasn’t yesterday.
thanks a lot bro, does it work on android? could you attach an amazon link to buy the adapter
What music streaming site is best as you cant use apple music you already have?
I need help, I bought it and virtual dj 2021 infinity pro doesn't read it, it doesn't recognize it, but virtual dj 2023 does. I would like to know why it doesn't appear in 2021.
From Argentina 😊
Can you mix tracks in earphones? Can you listen to next track while play main track?
This can be on with an à another smartphone, than iphone ? Adaptator for Android exist?
The Numark MixTrack Pro FX controller can work with the iDJ software?
Yo djkit I’ve been meaning to create a mean beatmix setup could you connect this to a mixer??? For things such as no input mixing
Can you get the app on an acer laptop or is it just on apple
What are the apps you can use I couldn’t understand what he said
I'm a first time learner. What would be the best laptop to purchase to get started? Thank you.
I have a problem with the sound in which it echoes. Can you give me a solution even though the problem is not in the program?
same problem here, I heard its bcs of the way we download our song from mp3 converters
well I got myself this dj gadget too few days ago but installed it on window11 and the usb constantly not able to find it .... during playing music too ..... need help people thanks in forward
Hi djkit - great video! I am beginner considering buying the Numark DJ2. Can you also advise/show how to connect and use this with a macbook as your video only shows it with an iPhone ?
Hey ram_page, thanks for your comment! The first half of the video is with the controller plugged in to a macbook. Give it a watch!
Just ordered mine for 70 EUR brand new . Already have DJ Serato Pro software. The only thing witch bothers me - there is no MIDS knob in EQ. Can you mix normally without it only with HI and LOW?
You can map buttons for it
I got one of these! It’s pretty sweet. But what type of phone stand is that? Where can I get one of those!
where did you get the phone stand?
I wonder if it works with NI Traktor since i already have a license
Hi I've just purchased Numark mixtrack pro 2 and was wondering is there any android apps I can connect to my mixer? Any help would be massively appreciated as I'm seriously struggling 😔
Djay Pro works with Android!
www.algoriddim.com/djay-android
So with sound cloud can you put you phone soundcloud playlist on and just connect it and it will work ?
Yes, but you have to be subcscribed to Soundcloud Go!
can you get serato dj lite on chrome book because for some reason i cant get it
hello, can you help me? please tell me the link of virtual dj to download to play numark party live? thak you.
I have this controller but I’m struggling with the audio. It’s playing nothing back to me through speakers or headphones. Do you know what I have to do?
This could be many things, do you have the 'Level' knobs turned up on the top of the channels?
can it be driven by power bank and what wattage power bank output is needed?
I’m going to guess any battery bank with usb A or C. Plug a $10 usb hub into it, then plug the iPhone into one port on the Gunn and then the controller and you should be good to go.
Does it work with windows 10?
Hi i would really appreciate it if someone could help :) I am looking to get this as a present and since i dont know anything about music equipment i was wondering if this can record and loop own samples or where to get something like that?
Hey! This is predominantly a DJ controller, but there is a sampler in Serato. You're probably best looking at dedicating looping / samplers.
Hello I just ordered my first numark party mix 2 and i cannot find the apple adapter, do you have the link for it?

Numark Party mix live

Hi great review . Just got myself a Party Mix 2. Which app do I need to download for IOS iPhone? Many thanks
Hey, thanks for the comment! The app is called Djay by Algoriddim:
www.algoriddim.com/
Hello! I'm new to this. I got a question. I have a PC desktop, but I don't have a laptop. Can this works on a desktop?
I cant get this to connect to my ipad air 2 😢 Any ideas!?
can I listen the music in my headphones in order to mix while the other people are listening through the speakers?
Absolutely - you press the headphone cue buttons - they're the two red buttons with headphones on them in the mixer section!
my brand new numark party mix 2 is not compatible with my virtual dj 2021 pro version
any idea on how to fix this??
Try the Virtual DJ forums, you can give them specifics and get some flgreat support on there.
Does it have ability with android phone already
Can you easily map the gain to treble and use it as if it’s a 3 band EQ?
this is what I've been trying to figure out.
Yes all controls are easily mappable
What apps connec the numark DJ controller.im biggener.fre apps.?
What cable are you using to connect your Controller to your speaker? Is it the Aux cable that it comes with ?
Iv installed dj pro but when I it’s all connected up only the lights on front of controller light up but there’s no way of pressing any buttons, on the app tried searching for “MIDI” devices and nothing on there either
Does it work on Android now?
Using djay app on an iPhone but not getting any sound to play. I’m new to mixing can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong
Are you getting sound out of the headphones?
I bought the usb lightning camera connector , but the controler only light up for a second and then it turn off.
Do i need special connector with bigger volts?
same issue here , did u figure it out?
does virtual dj pro work with set
How do you connect the main audio????
Can I use the Amazon Music app to use for the music? I want to get this mixer for my 8 yr old
Unfortunately not Amazon Music. Try Tidal, it has a great selection!
I got my first set of turntables when I was 14, it was a used battle pack off Craigslist and my stupid aunts baby daddy broke one of the needles helping me bring it in. From day one I despised needles lol.
😭
What Softwares i can use?
im trying tp do it on my iphone i got the camera adapter and its not turning on any reason why???
Do you have the camera adapter plugged in to a charger?
I just received my unit in the mail. I love everything about it except for the fact it only has a 2 band eq. I’m trying to decide how important that is to me and if I’m going to return it…
Which software are you using it with? I have been trying to find a hack to MIDI map the level knob to an EQ knob in Serato, but it can't be done.
trust me! it's all you need . best bang for buck you will find . cheers
my controller doesn’t get enough power and i’m connecting exactly how you doing it in the video . could you maybe assist me please ?
Are you trying to connect to a phone or a laptop?
Is this compatible with Samsung android tablet ?
It is compatible with virtual dj v8?
numark party mix 2 or ddj-200?
Hey there! Can I plug this controller to Trakor DJ 2 soft ? I think "Traktor" is more professional that "serato"
It's not officially compatible, but there are MIDI mappings available to download online. Still, it won't work as well as it will with Serato!
When I connect the camera adapter and controller, the light shines for a moment, but then the light goes out and becomes unusable. I could use it on my computer, so why?
im experiencing the same, did you find a solution to this?
Is there any information when the controller is not connecting and how to solve this problem. When I connect the usb cable, 2 things happen: the light of the controller twinkles, then I hear a sound, but the view It doesn't change to the 2 decks that I would normally see when I connect my sb3.
exactly the same issues I am experiencing too ... after plugin in the controller into usb either it wount found the device or when it is finally found and working it dissapeers from the usb it simply locks off ...
@@MrPaloompa If I tell you it's working now, you won't believe it. Make an update and delete the patch to connect to the controller
@@juliusmartis6154 yeah I figure it now Yesterday, even I was able to use vyrtualDj software as a app too Also serato Worked but I am more used to vyrtualDj so will use IT. Happy djing 😉
Question I have the first one will it also work with iOS
Yes, absolutely!
How you got your speakers hooked up and what are the wire are you using?
i could never hook up my speakers did you ever figure out?
@@nicksmith7885 same
Hi guys! In this video Ratzi has the 3.5mm master out cable going in to a separate mixer that the speakers are connected to! Hope this helps!
Thoughts on this vs the Hercules? 🤔 Is there anywhere to compare?
I could compare the two, but they are quite different! You get more out of the Numark in terms of size and features, but the Hercules is Bluetooth!
I will be using my Apple lab top into my fender
Spotify's library can be mixed with those softwares?
Spotify no longer works with any DJ software! Check this video for a solution:
czcams.com/video/jt9FgL9ODbQ/video.html
My controller lights up initially, and then nothing. Should it just register that it's connected on the phone? Cant seen to find its connected in divice setting on the djay app either. Had it since Christmas and literally can not fathom it.
@@marieguy9942 could be a number of things. Depends on the phone, how it's connected and if you're paying for the full version of the app.
will it work in traktor pro
What app for mobile android works
Can it work with Android now?
