Excellent tutorial m8. Ex vinyl DJ here . Packed in about 20 years ago . Had to order this . Impulse buy lol. Coming tomorrow. Can't wait . Like a kid on Christmas Eve. Very versatile bit of kit 😊
Think you'll love it!
@@digitaldjtips I do but it is so simple to mix with having a BPM counter . I am a dinosaur coming from the vinyl lol .
Dude! I’m bowled over by your generosity of time, production and knowledge on the Mixstream Pro. I’m no stranger to gigging, but quit 17 years ago... Getting back out there with this tech after it turned up from Santa. Thanks for the walk-through. Amazing!!
I appreciate that!
@digitaldjtips same here, I stopped doing like 20 years ago back with cd players and just got this one today, so now I'm getting back on the grind and this helps alot!!
I'm 61 yo and it blows me away what technology has brought back to my life. Thank you, Thank you, thank you. The mixstream Pro Plus is beyond any of my wildest dreams!
Glad you’re enjoying it
My man! I'm a MC/rapper/singer and just picked this unit up. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you. Sending love from Vancouver, Canada.
Glad I could help
How do I record mcing over a mix?
Its crazy that people are saying this is for beginners!
Engine has the best user software out now and this unit can tap into to every need! Inmusic listens to dj needs, unlike serato which cares more about supporting new product and care less about djs older product updates!
The link with Vdj makes it possible to work with other djs on this unit!
This ia a game changer!
As far as the mic limitations u can run it through your own outboard processors. Reggae djs do this anyway so they can control all aspect of vocal delays n echoes at a dance. Thanks again Phil for going into dept no one has reached!
Im sure there will be more updates from enginedj
Love my Mixstream! I carry it to parties and other DJs are shocked that I don't need a laptop. Really helped me in my DJ journey
Great to hear that Meesha!
I’ve had my mpg for ove two months and came to refresh myself with this video and learned things that I didn’t even know my controller did. Thank you for this
You’re welcome!
Just bought a pro go and im here learning how the menus go while i wait for amazon to send it 😆
@@garrettagainpogo4902 you will love it
Credit where credit is due, this is simply an outstanding deep dive into this kit. Thanks very much indeed , Phil👍👍
Glad you liked it Isaac!
I just purchased this controller and I’ve watched this entire video 3 times already
@@kenmartin7175 do u like it ?
@@saltee2123 yes! The interface is nice and make it a breeze to search your playlist! Coming from a guy who’s never touched a set of decks, I’ve had 4 2hr practices and already starting to sound like a dj. Also switching is so easy on this thing!!
Agreed, I watched the whole thing from start to finish whilst following along on my controller. Expertly explained - I learnt a lot of hidden away gems that I never would have found without watching your video. Well done Phil and the team! :-D
I just bought the mixstream pro and I love it. everything you need in one controller. Music requests done with no hesitation and confidence of no stress. thanks for the great tutorial, the more you are informed the better you can play the music, kudos for all your help.
Glad it helped you.
Hi Orales. Im on the fence on buying one of these. I want to use it for preparation of my sets. Question is... Does it have a beat jump function? Hope to hear from you
Appreciate it man. This is my first attempt to play around with DJing and this is the controller I just got. I have no idea how to mix but thankfully there people like you on UA-cam to hook it up 🙏
Glad to help
How ya going with it buddy?
Purchased mines 1 day ago,and I'm very surprised how smooth and fluid the tracks are and no hiccups so far ,far as streaming,.I'll give the SD card a run soon. Thanks for a great run down on this unit.
Glad it's working out for you!
I really hope Numark/inmusic brands hooks you up somehow because I went from “what the heck is this gimmicky thing?” to “I need one now!” after watching this video. Very comprehensive and thorough review. Really cool controller. Thanks Phil!
Glad we could help :)
Bought this unit today 02/24/23 Getting back in the game.......will crack it open tomorrow after watching your tutorial and doing my own due diligence. Thanks for all you do.
Good luck Carl
I'm a piano player, new to DJ'ing but was really impressed by this unit - going to buy it. Thanks for your pro advice!
Happy to help!
Thank you so much for your time on educating all of us who want to dj and don’t know all the information about djing 😊
You’re welcome
For mobile dj this will be the best tool hands down! No more laptops!
Pretty cool eh? :)
Check Denon Prime go. ;)
Great video Phil, it will come in very useful as - at 58 years of age and a complete novice - I’ve taken the plunge and ordered one. Home use only, so David Guetta needn’t lose any sleep...😀
Have fun with it!
🤣 i got one too but im gonna use at the club🙌
Phil your the best teacher with unbias teachings, and you are very thorough! Give thanks to you brother🙌
Thanks for your support
this dude is really good at explaining something like this... kudos
Glad it helped!
Just bought this unit.... Im very impressed.. It seems to be everything i need... love the 2.20 update.... I feel great about this purchase
Yes, the 2.20 update has brought some good improvements.
Massive amount of info and indeep review... Nice done (as usual) Phil!
Thanks!
The Architect Of Sound: An isochronous instrument with so many possibilities and you are a cadre who is masterly at all of the hardware and software functions; as long as, DJs are as tenacious as you; then, they should be very successful. This is spurious because it really is not for a neophyte because there are many furtive but boon menu changes that you have to intuitively comprehend. At first; until, your demonstration I was congruent with Numark's idea about being perfect for a novice; now, this is a product for Pro with years of experience.
Phil, I just want to mention something else that is not relevant to Mixstream; yet, I think it is worth mentioning. When will they develop macros and soft keys; so that, when you do that one incredulous mix that we were only able to get it correctly once. Then, we would be able to call up the file and play it.This would be revolutionary and evolutionary. Thanks!
If you can just drop a song in without being a " 21st century dj " and depending on all the bells and whistles, and completely rock a set, well you my friend are a true next level artist.
Hats off to those that put in the work and are now gifted, freestyle artists capable of rocking any dj setup. You are real artisans. 🤜🤛
If you're not on this level, get your weight up. You can do it. ✌️
Like our very own DJ Jazzy Jeff!
Recently purchased a Mixstream Pro+ and found this tutorial extremely helpful in getting started with the unit. Thanks for the vid
Glad to help
Numark is ahead in the game right now!
This is a pretty cool unit isn't it? :)
Awesome overview, this helped me figuring out a couple of things. But, I believe there's 2 omissions in the video:
- At 1:08:06 the Smartloop setting ís useful, as you have manual looping with the second pad
- At 1:15:24 Deck Color is useful, even though de Decks itself don't change colors, the on screen track do change colors. So you can use this to set a color on the screen for each 'Deck'. :)
Both good points, thanks for adding Rogier.
I own ddj400 pioneer started djing with that and now i wana upgrwde to a controller with build in screen and wifi! While looking around i saw a gd controller like danon and pioneer are very pricy! Thank god for numark! I have my eye on this! Getting it soon!
It is indeed great value
This is a BOSS demo - Tysm - may have convinced me to buy the Numark over a Denon. And to throw away Pioneer Rekordbox for good.
Glad we could help
I found one on ebay for £250. Had to do a bit of soldering to replace a knob but now it works perfectly.
Great!
This is amazing so thorough! Thank you for taking the time!
You're very welcome Liz.
What a fantastic review. This was the unit that got me into digital deejaying.
Glad this helped you!
After two weeks of trying to decide what to buy for my unique situation. I’m basically retired and just want standalone without spending insane money. It became clear to me after seeing the last couple updates they released there is no other option than this unit.
Meant to say I just ordered mine.
Hope you enjoy it!
@@digitaldjtipscame today and I gotta say I’m very impressed. It’s not cheap feeling at all , much smaller that it seemed from photos , and honestly it has everything I used from the Prime 4 day to day if I’m being honest. Now I’m waiting for a motorized deck fully standalone unit to come out and that will be most likely the last piece of gear I buy
Thanks for this great overview of the unit. Everything you said was clearly understandable. Greetings from Germany.
Glad it was helpful!
A nice and complete tutorial as we're all want to follow. Bravo !
Glad you liked it!
Omg!!!!!!!!!! I’m getting this joint immediately! Omg omg I am crying!
Good luck! Let us know how you get on...
Got mine last night after I played with the demo at guitar center and I was completely sold.
Wow these video manual videos are awesome. Fantastic!
You're welcome!
Thanks for this clear instruction video Phil. I have been following you for many years and it has helped me a lot, both your reviews and your instructions. I have now switched from a Traktor controller to this Numark and the first impressions are very good. I particularly like the built-in display and after the latest updates, the effects are also useful. Still also a setback, both the effects (FX) and the Hi-Lo filter cannot be heard when I pre-list a track with the headphone, which I find very unfortunate. I hope I'm wrong but I'm afraid it really doesn't work the way I used to. Anyway, I expect to enjoy this set a lot and hope to see and hear a lot more from you in the future.
Yes, I think that is just how it works. Glad you're enjoying your unit Hans, and thanks for the support.
I’ve just bought one so your tutorials are amazing 👍
Glad to help
Yes stop time is what I was looking for 👍
Thank you so much. Just purchased the mixstream pro go battery powered. This video was super. Thanks again
Glad to help
Yep, great orientation. I am back in action with this thing..ripping up tracks off the beatport trial.. need to buy some tracks but I have been surfing so many new tracks and this thing bumps great with the built in speakers...highly recommend...
Glad you're having fun Gordon.
Just got my pro go yesterday and this helped a lot on things inwas totally lost on and couldn’t figure out. Can’t wait for the new engine dj update.
Glad this helped, and we can't wait for that update either!
I'm not even a DJ and I bought one because it's so much fun to work with.
It is! do check out the Engine 2.2 upgrade, which makes the effects far more flexible.
@@digitaldjtips wish the mixstream pro had stems😢
It's absolutely fun! I showed my 10 yr old daughter, and I think she's gonna be better than me😂😅
Same reason I bought it😂
SAME ….best money I ever spent …
Wow after watching this I have cancelled my ddj-200 and ordered this beauty thanks for the video. now to tell the wife I won it in a raffle lol.
You've made a good choice, the DDJ-200 is pretty limited.
What an awesome video, thanks so much for putting this together! I've been using Engine DJ for quite some time (Prime 4, SC Live 4) and I still learnt a few handy tricks :)
Now, I've just received the brand new Mixstream Pro Go, and after playing with it for some time, I feel a bit frustrated. While I love the concept and all the features offered by Engine DJ, there are 2 features that I'm missing A LOT: beat jump, and loop in/out ajustements. In particular, the latter is so commonly used that I don't understand why it's not there. To the point where I feel I'm probably missing something, like a hidden (or not so hidden) way to do it.
Thank you so much!
Big THANKS Phil for the good info! Numark was my first controller, not heavy, and very affordable.
This is carrying on that tradition.
Three major things that really are good for the market, it comes with built in speakers! Really interesting and useful feature. Maybe one day they could put a Sony XB31 level spec in there. There's two USB inputs and an SD card plus the ability to stream.
It certainly has a unique balance of features.
Wow got this the other day and watching and learning from this great video, thanks so much, for the price this is a little Powerhouse. For sure it's no top end club setup but the built in speakers are great for the bedroom mix or small room with a few friends. No laptop needed just put your pre loaded usb stick in and away you go, It could not be any easier. sits nice on my £6 laptop stand from Amazon which puts the screen and decks at the perfect angle and a padded carry case also from Amazon £30 unboxed and mixing within 15 mins of receiving it Love it.
Glad you're enjoying it, and you're right, those little laptop stands can be great for angling gear like this forward to make the screen a little easier to read.
Which padded case from Amazon did you get?
This was excellent Phil!!.I just picked up this unit and you gave me all the information I needed about this unit!!.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾thank you
Awesome :)
Hi Mike Im on the fence on buying one of these. I want to use it for preparation of my sets. Question is... Does it have a beat jump function? Hope to hear from you

a big thank you from Germany! You helped a lot!!!😁
You're welcome!
Just ordered mine. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you Phil :)
Good luck
I just received mine on Friday, having a couple issues with wifi, Tidal and beatsource ( maybe I need the paid subscription and not free one hhmmmm), but Dropbox, sd card and thumb drive are working perfect. Very helpful tutorial Phil!!!!
Yes you need the paid versions
@@digitaldjtips I just updated my wifi and also subscribed to beatsource for the top music etc, it actually works marvelous! I also have my usb and se card full of music and can’t wait to get back onboard the Dj train. I used to DJ back in the early 80’s up until 90’s, picked it up again in early 2000’s but stopped, now I’m back at it and lots has changed from carrying record crates to thumb drives, hard drives and now streaming…thanks for the reply!!!
Update: I just djed two back to back parties and they went wild at both events, I’m looking forward to many more!!!!
Watch the entire vid. Thank you for making this. Learned so much!
Thank you soo much for all the valuable information you share here Phil! I really appreciate it! Just boought this amazing console and I'm soo looking forward to make the most out of it!
Enjoy, Joe!
Massive thanks DJ. I’m trying to learn on this very kit. Your video is really useful to a newb like me and very thorough.
Appreciate you putting this up
Glad to help!
@@digitaldjtips oh trust me you did. This is quite an intimidating piece of hardware for the uninitiated, i feel a lot more comfortable after watching your video.
Do you have any videos on how to pick music that will work? Which camelot keys could work, etc? That would be really useful too
Check this out: www.digitaldjtips.com/2021/01/fuzzy-keymixing-the-new-way-to-dj/ :)
@@digitaldjtips nice one! Turns out i already started doing the changes on the decks. But was not aware of little influence of numbers.
Excellent video! THANK YOU SO MUCH. Thorough and concise (great for muppets like me).....now PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can we have an in-depth video all about how to use the MixStream with DMX lights and using the SoundSwitch software etc. Videos here on UA-cam regards the MixStream and lighting are VERY thin on the ground; you're missing a trick and will have loads of hits, I for one! ; )
Great suggestion!
I guess Bluetooth for my headphones will be on the next generation mixstream pro. Looks like a great device overall. Thanks for this video. Thumbs up
No, Bluetooth will never arrive for DJ headphones while it has latency. I do not expect that in controllers any time soon.
Just got minw yesterday.. I like the serato folder sharing..
Awesome! Glad you're enjoying it
I knew you got chocked up when someone asked about a new product from numark the other day.
😏
Are you not aware of the internal memory unit , I've just bought one of these and it came yesterday so I'm just feeling it out...I read through a few items in the manual and the memory is on the Spec page.....Cheers man
Hi, Thank you so much for making this video. Numark should be paying you!
We do it to help our students :)
Why or how does it show to you automatically where intro, drop, breakdown and outro are? For me it doesn't do that, how do I turn it on?
Good vid thanks very much. While I find this unit useful for small events, I would say there is absolutely some deserved stigma with auto-beat-matching, no vinyl, etc. I don't even really consider this DJing. There is no Disc and you don't Jockey anything so EJing is probably more appropriate. But yeah I mean if you aren't beatmatching and monitoring your platter and mixing by ear then what the hell are you doing on stage? Hitting a sampler pad or holding an effect button down? I don't think there's something "more interesting with your time" that you would be doing when you are supposed to be mixing, which is a difficult and acquired skill.
But nobody's paying you to do the technical things, it's about what comes out of the speaker. That was how we were forced to do it back in those days, nothing more.
Great in depth training. Thanks
you're welcome
That was awesome of showing us this video and I have unmake midstream pro to👏🤙🤙
this video has help me tremedously thanks. I know you are always busy, but when you get a chance could you do a video of mixstream with VDJ pro. thanks
We’ll try to if we get time
’m waiting for the UPGRADE of the NUMARK NS7III
I can see how this would look 👀 with LARGER SPINNING PLATTERS, 4 CHANNELS with LARGER SCREEN yes let’s go NUMARK!!!! The NUMARK NS7III is the FIRST and BEST CONTROLLER hands down because it’s still being COMPARED to NEW CONTROLLERS of TODAY Great Job NUMARK!!!!
The Rane One is basically an NS7 mk4, but as far as a motorised standalone unit goes, you're right, nobody's done one yet.
Awesome info thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this vid, very helpful. This machine is great! Inmusic looking to take over the standalone game. I also have an akai force and MPC live 2 and firmware updates have been awesome so far, hope they do they same for engine os.
It’s already at version 2 they’ve made some great improvements so it looks good
Very powerfull this little thing, great job Phil
Thanks Niko!
Super helpful, thank you so much!
Thanks for this really helpful video. I have ordered this unit based on your review! I think it will help me fit in more practice due to it being so easy to set up. Can you recommend an SD card to use with it please? I don't have a laptop/pc so will just be using this unit for streaming tracks. Thanks.
Any will do, but the faster cards will mean less time waiting around for transfers.
Well done Numark 👏
🙌
Good day I've just started out, and I wish this was here in our country, I surely purchase one, but I think I will purchase one, what's the cost.
This video is great, do you also have one for the NUMARK MIXTRAK PLATINUM FX?
Nom as it is a standard Serato controller, so not really any different to any other (we do have a Serato course, Serato Made Easy).
from a ddj 400 to an flx6 or numark pro go? very tempted for the all in one but then the bigger controller is attractive too.
Not FLX6 - the meaningful upgrade controller wise would be FLX10.
Very good and helpful! Thank you very much
You’re welcome
Great video! Is there a way to go through the song and set an infinite number of que points throughout?
No, limit is 8
Picked one of these up the other day for £440. Bargin really.
That is a bargain
Lovely tutorial! Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome George
ABSOLUTELY great tutorial just got my Mixstream and I'm in love...lol. But one thing I don't see and you didn't mention is SAMPLES?? Now as great as the gear is I would have thought standard samples would've been added, any Info or work around about this would be appreciated. 👍🔥🔥🔥
Oh and I'm a beginner dj with 8 months under my belt lol.
No, there are no samples in Engine DJ. You could make your own sample sets (home-made tracks with sets of up to eight "samples" on them), which you could then assign to cue points - when you want to use samples, you load your "sample set" and use the cue points to trigger them.
Thx for the quick response, yeah that was the only way I could think of. I downloaded some samples and like you said I made cue points for each. Great help my brother, Peace!
Great video I learned alot from this.
Glad!
Time to make a Mk2. With 2 additional models and Engine 4.0, not much is like it was 2 years ago. At least all the new features is enough for a part 2 video manual.
If only we had unlimited time
@@digitaldjtips True! But you do the best tutorials... had to ask ;) .
I tried with DMX PAR led lights that works perfectly with my laptop and SoundSwitch but when plugged the SS wire to the controller the colors are wrong and functions too and in the Controller you can’t edit DMX adress and find model of lights !!! Plz make a video how to make PAR led lights and moving head plz no gigbar or Hue lights
We will consider that!
Im seriously thinking of one getting one myself, I cant make up my mind its such a mind field😂 You didn't review the sampler though phil🤦🏾♀️ never mind.
As a stand alone can you plug a conventional hard drive or an SSD into it, does it have effects on the microphone like echo or reverb?
No mic effects. Sampler wasn't a thing when we made this review - it's basic but good enough for DJ drops etc. Yes, will work with hard drives too.
hello, my question is why the search engine only works in the playlist, why can't I search in the folders, if I'm in the folders and press search, it jumps to the playlist and I can only search among the tracks there.Thanks
by the way.. IM NOT A DJ. I JUST TO LIKE TO PLAY MUSIC LOUD IN MY HOUSE
I just bought one. Thx :)
Have fun Steve!
I think you explain it perfectly, but for those who don't speak English, for example, I say, you speak too fast, we follow the subtitles and lose our hands, please think about those who don't speak English and explain it a little slower, so that we can both read and understand.
Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you very much
You’re welcome
i cant figure out how to search by bpm my display on tidal only shows tracks artist albums playlist . your shows a filter button mine does not
Thank you! Just got this for Christmas.
Have fun!
Is having a problem to.connect a laptop on the mixer I don't get no sound on my staggs speaker even bought a RCA cable
i am pretty happy with the machine and thankfull for all your tipps mate. one thing i can't find is how to rate tracks on the machine ... i guess it is not possible
No sadly it is not
Appreciate the video! Thanks!
You are welcome.
Thank you so much for your help
You're welcome
please can you do an updated video with the new features ?
Thanks for the suggestion
@@digitaldjtips thanks for your work! your videos are amazing
Very good video, im doubting with numark pro go and SC live 2, i wanna a full portable stuff, and add a external battery to the SC live 2, but im wondering if Its worth the price diference between numark go and SC live 2, because only a lot of more fx, little bit better sound at own speakers, and little bit better material quality construction between this two? And pro go IS full portable but maybe IS a toy.
Because Both are plastic right?
So im in this doubt, i Will apreciate a full comparision, because numark is the lowest line of inmusic but this sc live 2 i dont know if IS worth It at all.
Im talking by second hand buy.
Really thanks.
Amazing inexpensive unit!
It really is!
