I shortly got one and mapped it for traktor... This controller is great and totally mappable... You can´t get more for your money! THX to Phil for another great review. Fantastic and keep going!
I just bought the N4, even using traktor. I saw both of then together and some hardware features were more suitable to me. I already own Traktor pro 2.5, and the features I use on the software are perfectly suitable to this control (no sample decks). I only had a bad time mapping the hotcues, but just managed to make them work properly. Thanks for your reviews, Phil. They are very useful. Keep up the good work.
brilliant video, we also tested it and wrote down a couple of lines. very good controller if you want to start deejaying, built quality is very good and it really comes with some quite nice features especially for this price!
THANKS Phil! you have the best reviews in youtube for dj stuff I really like watching your reviews they are really detailed and shows why or why not I would buy a piece of gear, me personally wouldn't buy before watching one of your reviews, you focus really in the important stuff, thank you very much for your dedication and your blogsite just rocks too !! big ups to digital dj tips for an awesome support and knowledge
Kontrol 2 is good enough for trance. Me on the other hand, I need this because I mix Hardcore and normally I scratch during a buildup or a drop and this allows me to use timecode without needing an audio interface like the NI ones for Traktor Scratch, and since I use VDJ Pro, the layout works perfectly for me.
great video...i want the n4 but i only like to use djay 4 software when i dj..i wanna upgrade to n4 from mk4........i use a mac book pro.....will the n4 be compatible with the djay software.....On djay website , its not listed as compatible.....thanks ..i really want to buy the n4..
hi loved the review of this controller looks adaptable to me as i'm a mobile dj , question is could i use this controller with a ipad 2 ? or samsung galaxy tab?
I am starting to learn DJing soon, and I am thinking to purchase N4 or Mixtrack Pro but am not sure because I don't want to get Mixtrack Pro and regret to not have purchased N4.. So my question is: Is N4 worth the money compared to Mixtrack Pro that is half the money for a beginner like me??? THANX!
Great review. Question: I'm considering buying an n4. However, I already sunk money into a powered mixer last year. I don't want to sell that, and buy a new amp. Is there a way to run a line from the n4 to the powered mixer, and use the powered mixer strictly for the amp during a gig?
We are 2 music producers thats planning to start to DJ'ing, we are acctually planning to buy this one, but it would look kinda stupid at parties if just 1 of us are doing the work, or we are 2 people on a small machine, any help please! what could we buy?
just picked one up, what should my sound set up be on virtual dj? the cross fader is not working for some reason. i have outputs - headphones and sound card 4:1 card numark n4
hello, having problem with my n4 since yesterday..everthing was ok 5 days ( last time I used it ). no audio is coming out ( on RCA's and headphones ) volume indicator light is not is moving. few minutes after i connect the unit on my laptop a click sound comes out from the speakers ( through RCA ) and headphones and the volume indicator lights goes with that sound..tried using and external soundcard and the sounds works perfectly...do know whats' the problem with it? using VDJ LE with it
Very Helpful review. I was wondering what would be better to get, N4 or Trakor S2 MK2 as they're in the same price range. Basically I enjoy manual beat matching and would like one where I can do this well so must be 0.1 increment responsive on the Pitch contol
I have one quick question, what can the Traktor S2 do that the N4 can't? Seeming that the n4 can be mapped with Traktor Pro 2 I didn't quite understand why all the salespeople I spoke to said the S2 is a better controller. Yes, the build quality is better but other than that I can't see why the S2 would be deemed better?
Which one of these would be the best reasonable deal to go for, a Reloop Terminal Mix 2(400€) , Numark N4(373,95€) and DDJ-ERGO-V (450€), i would highly appreciate your suggestion. Thanks
Are this Mic Inputs or just Mic Through (my numark DJ IO has only mic through...) ? Inputs will be great, so i can route mic to deck3/4 and use it for broadcasting...
Hi Phil, I'm having some problems with my Numark Mixtrack. I plug my headphones into it with an adapter which I'm sure works, but no sound comes out so I can't cue tracks :( I could play this out of my computer but I use that for the master output, the whole things a bit of a nightmare! Any tips?
Can you guys please make a video on how to use timecode on this I cant get it to work Pleaseee it would mean alot. Can you do it on virtual dj and tracktor ? Please make a video !
I currently mix with some cheap numark decks but wanna get some new ones. Shall I get some ddj sb2s for £150 or these numarks for 180? I really like the sleek style of the Pioneer DDJ SB2s though!
Hmm, good question/tough call...the SB2 then probably - here's our full write-up: www.digitaldjtips.com/2016/03/review-video-pioneer-ddj-sb2-serato-dj-rekordbox-controller/
Hello Phil, I'm just about to buy myself a controller. I am debating between Pionner cdj 200 and Numark 4. I'm not gonna do any scrathcing and will use it for partys. What do you suggest and any other recommandations? Thank you! Christian

this seemed like a awesome controller to me but its really dated compared to the reloop terminal 2 , novation twitch and the traktor s2 which are all about the same price. ive tried the reloop terminal at the musikmesse and it blew my mind.
hey i have a question for you about a dj controller, hopefuly you can help me with the answer, its about the numark N4 controller sound quality im not sure what these specs mean DIGITAL: Sample Rate: 44.1 KHz Bit Depth: 16-bit does this mean that 24 bit 96.000 khz files would be played at Sample Rate: 44.1 KHz Bit Depth: 16-bit ?????????????????????? or do these specs only apply to play back samples recorded and used by the n4? thanks much appreciation :)
-thedog30 digitaldjtips sound to me that don't have a fuc**ng clue what they are on about. the reason you can't hear your cue mix is solely down to the fact that you are using VDJ LE and not mapping issues. You need to get VDJ pro and go into skins section and use internal mixer or 4 channel mixer on vdj7. you will see up the top of skin then the slider or nob to change from cue to mix. digitaldjtips should know all this really before posting a video that a two year old could do.

Thanks for the review, i am looking into getting this.... this is a hell of a step up from the Numark Total Control, which i am using now...
Kontrol 2 is good enough for trance. Me on the other hand, I need this because I mix Hardcore and normally I scratch during a buildup or a drop and this allows me to use timecode without needing an audio interface like the NI ones for Traktor Scratch, and since I use VDJ Pro, the layout works perfectly for me.
Can make a video on how to use turntables with this using VDJ and serato Dj please !

hi, what do you recommend for trance and house dj on budget? thanks
Hi Phil great review, do you know if the VU meters on this can be used as channel vu meters when pfl is on?
I have one quick question, what can the Traktor S2 do that the N4 can't? Seeming that the n4 can be mapped with Traktor Pro 2 I didn't quite understand why all the salespeople I spoke to said the S2 is a better controller. Yes, the build quality is better but other than that I can't see why the S2 would be deemed better?

can you get set hot cue points on the controller for virtual dj?
can you please tell me if it is compatible to traktor 3? if it's not, which controller is?
What is better the traktor kontrol s2 or this ? what gives you more effects ?

Good Explication :)
@greendayisawesome100 Yes they do.
NUMARK N4 OR TRAKTOR S2?!?!
-thedog30 digitaldjtips sound to me that don't have a fuc**ng clue what they are on about.
the reason you can't hear your cue mix is solely down to the fact that you are using VDJ LE and not mapping issues. You need to get VDJ pro and go into skins section and use internal mixer or 4 channel mixer on vdj7. you will see up the top of skin then the slider or nob to change from cue to mix. digitaldjtips should know all this really before posting a video that a two year old could do.
@DigitalDJTips 399 euro
can i use timecoded vinyls with this?????
are those speakers the av30 or av40?
Thanks!!
