I have been watching a lot of tutorials on this for the past week....this is by FAR the CLEAREST, MOST CONCISE, MOST ACCURATE one yet! Amazing job Steven. Shows the functions of every single part of the board without any fancy vocabulary. Yes, pretty basic, for beginners, but still EXTREMELY helpful. THANKS!
Was just about to post a comment exactly like this, first video I've watched of this guy and he seems to understand how confusing everything is a beginner and does a great job to explain everything in a simple but not patronising way.
Everything is "simple as that", says the professional lol. But really tho, good lip tutorial, I'm gunma be buying this controller soon and will be learning what i need through this video
My father was oncea DJ . As a little boy, I always admired him when he would allow me to come with him. I have the opportunity to buy this controller. I see one o Ebay for $50. I'm leaning towards buying it. I want to learn how to mux. Im not into the scratching.
i wanna have Samples to use the sample Pads on the bottom but i don't understand how i can get Samples on it...tried already some things and actually had a Sample but when i pressed it there was no sound ^^ Pls help me :D I just want a clap or a drum for the Sample buttons o.O
please dose mixtrack pro3 work with serato & virtual dj 8 becasuei try using my it toldme i will only have 10min of try vision .... now it dose not work on my laptop any more
Roland Vanxbone you need to purchase full version of VirtualDJ for it to work or get a license for your specific controller from them. Serato DJ Intro should work no bother with this controller however.
Cool tutorial, however you shouldn't promote using the SYNC button. In order to be a real DJ, BEATMATCHING BY EAR IS IMPORTANT AND ESSENTIAL. DO NOT DEPEND ON THE SYNC BUTTON!
Is that possible to play the sound on a different output hardware? Like exemple: I want to have my sound on my mac or my external audio interface instead the internal audio interface of the MTPRO3 and play it only with the USB cable connected and the headphone. That look like complicated, but just thinking about it, that very simple! :)
all this looks & sounds great. But I still miss the old school turn tables and records. You have to be a computer geek to master this new type of dj equipment (And I don't mean no disrespect or offense towards any computer geek, cause I wish I was one right about now, in this day in age lol).
Good Job on the tutorial, but I have a question I couldnt figure out. I recently upgraded from a mixtrack pro 2 to the pro 3 and am somehow missing the beatjump-feature. I have enabled it in Serato DJ settings and the software button are shown, but I cant figure out the combination on the controller. Can someone help me out? :) Thanks in advance
Hi! I just ugraded my Mixtrack Pro to Pro 3 on sunday and I found it hard to make a manual loop which was much easier on Pro. Another thing which I was concerned of on your video and I hope you did realize it yourself and that SHOULD be mentioned on your video aswell. Never make the line go RED! It clips your speakers and may bust them in time :( I wanted to get also as someone already mentioned on comments to know the feature of pads and sampler working aswell. Thank you for your tutorial video!
So I just got the mixtrack pro 1 and using intro. could you do more tutorials for transitions please. I am confused on others when having it cued at the "first beat of the track". Seems off when I bring it in
Good point. I used to use gain on the ol' Technics decks when getting the pitch set correct. Been looking at a set of digital decks but really could use some gain for each channel. Please, don't tell me to use auto gain or sync either.
Fantastic tutorial video. Thank you very much! I just purchased a Numark Mixtrack 3 (not the Pro 3 version), and I see that it is basically similar. I had noticed on another video by someone else that the Mixtrack 3 needs an Audio Interface, but the Pro 3 does not. Will I need to purchase an Audio Interface? I'm new to music and DJ'ing, so it's much appreciated if anyone can help shed some light on this subject. Thank you in advance.
Well,you might need an audio interface if you want to cue music on your headphones on the other deck.As you might notice,mixtrack 3 does not have any output ports.it just has a port to connect to the usb of the Computer.So,for the output to the speakers,you can directly connect the speakers to the computer's 3.5mm audio port.It's okay to do this,but the quality you get will be low,compared to the output from an audio interface.
Basstian This is great advice! Thank you very much. I may just keep the Mixtrack 3 for home use and upgrade to controller with all of the audio inputs/outputs built right in. Thank you for taking the time to help out.
Nice job however your hands obscure what you are doing during the transition and you are not explaining what you are doing while doing it, except to end with " and its that simple". Hence it is still a bit of a mystery what you were doing in the top right corner and the middle. Thanks anyway tho!
ok igot the the pro 3 but i cant set it up no softwear cant set it up opens itunes n freezing up on me after itunes up did the recovery deal 2 needs help tryn 2 get my dj on
+sadamatt As yes, there's no recording function built into Serato DJ intro, but you this article might help you - support.serato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202304744-Recording-your-mix-with-Audacity. Our you could record the audio signal from your master output on the back using an audio interface.
I like the detail this video goes into especially mentioning the software because many tutorials do not. However, I wouldn’t suggest as a beginner to solely rely on the sync button, it is much better to beat match by ear as a beginner, using the pitch slider and searching through the track with the wheel.
Good tutorial, but you shouldn't teach the new kids to use the sync button. It is an essential thing to right away learn how to beatmatch! Essential to learn about music, which results in better understanding what to play.
+Markus “Ed Funk” Alther Btw. I am not bitching about the sync button. (As a lot of other DJs do.) The sync button has it's job. I use it to do transitions for example from a 90 bpm to a 120bpm and so forth.
+Markus “Ed Funk” Alther Hey Markus, that's very true, beatmatching is an important skill. We thought that using the Sync button lets beginners get going straight away. Our man Steven has been DJing for 25 years starting with vinyl, so we will do more videos in the future with more in depth DJing techniques, such as beatmatching :)
I'm still trying to figure out how to edit out music, or vocals.. And record using virtual Dj. As well as laying down a solid beat... Wow, I'm so green at this... I've had the mixtrack3 for three weeks now.. At least I understand music somewhat coming frm a jazz and rock band... Help?? Thanks, all of Dj's really are helpful.. That's really cool too. If possible, I'd give you my email. Just not posting it here for obvious reasons.
Seen these vids and bought a mix track pro 3.when I use it the music does not play proper its like the snogs shutter and the lights dim on the mix track.if I play the songs on the laptop they play perfect anyone know what I doing wrong???
+Isaiah Pittss Doesn't matter what type but minimum requirements are listed as 1GB RAM, 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. However we recommend i5 and around 4GB if you want to have smooth performance, especially when adding effects.
+Jacob Freeman the mixtrack pro has a soundcard. most computers have soundcard, but are not meant for this. they have a longer latency. but you can buy beter soundcards than the mixtrack po has for under 100 bucks.
+alejandro Hernandez Hey Alejandro, great stuff. It should be as simple as downloading from this page here - serato.com/dj/downloads if you have any issues we recommend contacting Serato directly.
+Maccerz118 you would need to upgrade the included Serato DJ Intro to the FULL Serato DJ version from www.serato.com - this includes the feature to record your own mixes on top of all the other special features unlocked such as more FX etc

Agree!

You Sir!!! Inspire thank you for making this

Roland Vanxbone you need to purchase full version of VirtualDJ for it to work or get a license for your specific controller from them. Serato DJ Intro should work no bother with this controller however.
Thinking of buying this but why isnt there a level meter for each deck? Gunna be some blown speakers! S
i cant figure out how to pre cue... it seems like it doenst work in my mixtrack. must be doing something wrong... 3rd day trying ... please help me!
Cool tutorial, however you shouldn't promote using the SYNC button. In order to be a real DJ, BEATMATCHING BY EAR IS IMPORTANT AND ESSENTIAL. DO NOT DEPEND ON THE SYNC BUTTON!
Chris B. if it wasn't important, it would even exist stfu
please shut the fuck up with that already

Sooo I'm picking one up later today, but my laptop doesn't have a CD dock. Any program suggestions?
can you use NUMARK MIXTRACK PRO 3 on virtual dj?
I bought this mix track from a friend used, is the software called "mixtrack" or "Serato" I have spotify premium I'd like to use that. Please help????
all this looks & sounds great. But I still miss the old school turn tables and records. You have to be a computer geek to master this new type of dj equipment (And I don't mean no disrespect or offense towards any computer geek, cause I wish I was one right about now, in this day in age lol).

Can i dj with iPad?
So I just got the mixtrack pro 1 and using intro. could you do more tutorials for transitions please. I am confused on others when having it cued at the "first beat of the track". Seems off when I bring it in
One thing i noticed don't have individual gain knob for each deck. How you guys deal with that?
Good point. I used to use gain on the ol' Technics decks when getting the pitch set correct. Been looking at a set of digital decks but really could use some gain for each channel.
Please, don't tell me to use auto gain or sync either.
Can I plug my logitech speakers(2 small,1 subwoofer) in the mixer? They only have regular green 3.5mm plug that goes in the back of the PC case.
Luka Šišara you can get a 1/4 in jack to fit your mixer, that’s what I did for my Logitech computer speakers.
no need for jack when you can select your computer sound card in software options
5:08 can you add your own custom effect? I.E an MP3 clip of police serene
Does the software include the music or do you know a seperate subscription to a music platform as well? And if so, is Soundcloud okay to use?

where can I get the full serato program for my controller or what vertual dj program is compatabil with my mix track pro 3
What speakers do you use? For the mixtrack?
Anyone know a in-depth video for tutorial on different ways or techniques to transition between decks?
I like the detail this video goes into especially mentioning the software because many tutorials do not. However, I wouldn’t suggest as a beginner to solely rely on the sync button, it is much better to beat match by ear as a beginner, using the pitch slider and searching through the track with the wheel.
Excellent video and very clear and easy to understand. Thanks so much
well done! Can you need it with bluetooth?
Do you know a software with a bluetooth function?

Seen these vids and bought a mix track pro 3.when I use it the music does not play proper its like the snogs shutter and the lights dim on the mix track.if I play the songs on the laptop they play perfect anyone know what I doing wrong???
Hi there, I'm wondering if your laptop is not powerful enough. I had a similar problem, just have to use my work laptop these days...
great video man it help me so much 😃 i have a question
¿does the numark includes the speakers or not you have to buy it apart right?
+DJ XEFREX You'd need to get some speakers separately.
+GUITARGUITAR the speakers need to be color white & red to be compatible with the mixtrack
@@guitarguitaruk What speakers do you use? Can I get a link to them on amazon?
brief, simple, concise and straight to the point. thanks man
does it matter what type of laptop you use ?
+Isaiah Pittss Doesn't matter what type but minimum requirements are listed as 1GB RAM, 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. However we recommend i5 and around 4GB if you want to have smooth performance, especially when adding effects.
can someone explain whats the difference between the non pro and pro mixtrack 3's. just wondering if the extra 100$ is worth it
+Jacob Freeman the mixtrack pro has a soundcard. most computers have soundcard, but are not meant for this. they have a longer latency. but you can buy beter soundcards than the mixtrack po has for under 100 bucks.
How to get sound FX for the Mixtrack Pro 3? I cannot get the effects. Please explain.
Not like the ones shown in the video, but like AirHorns.
Cool probably best bang for you buck
Hi I yes got this control yesterday can you help how upgrade to serato dj thanks

OK thanks
Do you have to pay to use the mixer with serato?
could you still beat match without the sync if you wanted to?
Your question doesn't make any sense.
Michael Kitasaka
Yes
what speakers are you using ?
+Ak Lis Some PC speakers we grabbed, just for Steven to hear what he was doing.

+Shek Robert There's manuals regarding setting up most controllers on the Virtual DJ website, hope that helps!
