For mobile DJ's you can absolutely use this unit as your main controller. Id obviously plug it into a better mixer simply for a better microphone and speaker outputs but this can be usef time and time again for weddings, graduation or corporate parties all day long. It plays music and the rest is up to you the Dee Jay.
Jus picked up a Pro Go for £550 2nd hand, mint condition...absolute game-changer especially the the Engine-DJ software which is the business...The controller is not quite 'pro' but I have only just 'upgradrd' from a Mixstream Platinum, so the fact that I don't need a computer is brilliant!!! This is only my second DJ Controller anyway...so the 'lack' of some hardware features is not an issue for me...The 'record' featuere alone makes it a mustt-have in my view. As mentione by Phil, it is soo much FUN, it makes mixing almost as accessible as vinyl...Just load up a couple of tracks off an SD card od USB thumb drive, and just play, mess around, try stuff and just have a lotta fun...Still waiting for that 10" screen and 'pro' I/O as i mentioned in my last post...It's coming though..I think the revolution is here, now! Just watch the market over the next 18 months....remember, i called it..! lol.

Deciding factor for me for a backup unit was the fact this has the Amazon Prime Music chip. Yes, music loads dreadfully slow, but I have some amazing playlists I've put together over years' time. It's really nice to have this feature alongside Beatsource, which works like a dream on my Denon SC Live 4. Can't beat the price, and the speakers will make it easy for me to practice anywhere.
You say music loads painfully slow. Could it be you have slow internet? I’m setting up my sc live 4 tonight and was going to use Amazon music to start and I hope I don’t have to wait 20 plus seconds to load a song
I started djing with a mixstream pro. Been rocking it on a battery power for the last one year. It's simply amazing. The engine dj software is great and the device got only better with time. I bought an rx3 but tbh the numark completely murders it.
you don't think there is maybe the EQ don't do really the job like a EQ DJ should do ? there is no isolation of the sound , finallement its bad for mixing ( I got the mixstream )
@@yohann44 Thanks for the response! Short answer: I don't like using EQ on Master Channel at all because I do my eq inside ableton at the transition points. Long answer: I focus on songs that mix well together harmonically and structurally and for the most part I'm using the volume faders, echo effect and filter. I'm using the EQ only when needed or if I'm not familiar with the song or have not edited it (for a safety net). Because I've seen a lot of people that bass swap every single transition and this results in inconsistency especially in ISO Mode. Iso mode on mid frequency to get an acapella also is bad because the result are quite messy and inconsistent due to the nature of the EDM music and complexity of the human voice. To be honest since I started music production I realized that a lot of the heavy lifting when doing a dj set is done in ableton and not on the decs itself. Some big names literally have a prerecorded set, some have 5 20 min tracks on their Usb drives. Some other DJ's have edited all the tracks inside ableton where they carefully EQ every song at the transition points to fit frequency wise with the next song because the tools inside ableton are a lot more precise. Also they make sure the volume levels are consistent throughout the dj set. Sorry for the wall of Text!
If you go deeper and look at the specs, you'll realize that it has a more powerful soundcard than the Prime Go and an even more powerful loudness (db out) for the headphones (monitoring).
I have the Denon Prime Go, love it, but if this came out at the same time, I’d get it instead. Perfect little portable system for recording shows, can quickly play some tracks for people to hear, better sized jogwheels and cheaper/great value.
i have the Prime Go too..n i just got this unit yesterday..the selling point are the built-in speakers for me…i love the Prime Go for the size (as i travel alot)..the Mixstream really has everything..
I might get hate on this, but implementing amazon music is pretty cool. I have amazon music (added it with prime), and while they may not have robust dj friendly tracks, they do have a pretty deep library of everything under the sun you might just want for gags or an off kilt request
Game changer.? Possibly...I have been a vinyl DJ singe the lat 80's, I have until recently hated digital...My son bought me a 2nd hand mixtrack pro as an 'experiment'...4 years ago...I upgraded to Platinum shortly after...but still hated that I had to have a laptop sat next to my deck...so I still only played 'vinyl' 'out'... The 'Go Pro' might just be the unit that changes my mind, and the minds of other vinyl-heads like me... The fact that the unit is totally wireless, has high-end pro software built-in with Serato & VDJ compatibility coming soon, will be sending out a signal/challenge to others on how to do things... What In-Music need to do next, is release a pro/semi-pro unit with a 10" screen, the features of the Mixstream and the I/O of the Denon Prime, whilst adding a few more buttons for around $1100-£1200. that will really give Pioneer a kick up the butt and open up the world of D DJ-ing to a whole new demographic... I honestly think the Pro Go marks the begining of a new era...a lot of laptops are gonna get ditched and a lot of controllers are gonna be on the 2nd hand market in the next 2-3 years as most folk move to standalone units....it's the next stage in DJ evolution...remember, I called it..!
DJ Mo King from Chicago, Phil. When the first Mixstream came out, I bought it because it was inexpensive and did the job. Eventually the updates fixed some of the things I had issues with. I'm glad the next stage has come with the Go, being able to run with a battery.
Hi Phil I am considering buying the Denon Prime go, but not sure if it worth buying since it is about three years old, and concerned they will stop providing software updates. I will only be using for ceremonies. Should I buy the Numark Midstream pro go, what are your thoughts
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.
I love the video brother but denon DJ prime go was the 1st dj system with a battery or monter go dj to mate I looking forward to getting one one tbh mate .
It's literally what I want from Pioneer, but with normal sized tempo fader, can't see how you could even remotely actually beat match on thoose, aside that i like it
@@digitaldjtips If you set them to +4 you can no problem, but Engine invites you to use the visual queues. I don't use sync though. Setting the waves to horizontal and using the nudge buttons is better.
Just purchased this to have some fun with in my spare time. Question though, thinking long term value and updates. You mentioned that there were two other units prior to this one and aside from the battery and adding in other music subscription services, they are the same. I am hoping that the built in chip on the software has been updated as well during the years, or is it still several years old…. Would hate to buy this and in a year the software is too much for the hardware and I either stop getting updates or it simply becomes a slug and slow to use. Thanks for any feedback on this question
For someone coming in to learn how to DJ not thinking about doing it professionally but that wants a simple setup to stream from home ( and see if anyone watches or listens in) would this be a good starting unit to simplify things? I have a consulting business and can’t use my personal laptop for DJ ing and buying another one just for that seems expensive. Could this be a good starting point that simplifies things for me? I was thinking about getting a Pioneer DDJ REV 1 and using Algoriddm but then again I have the laptop problem + Speakers I have a 3 year old and my space is limited. Please help and advice this noob ! 😅
Oh yes, the color sheme looks so much better now! A shame those pitchfaders are still that short. There would 've been enough space to add 1-2cm extra. But otherwise a great unit. With much better jogs and better EQ placement than the Denon Go, with added speakers at a cheaper price.
Heyyy I wondering if you can be of some help to me? My mixstream pro go has arrived but i cant seem to locate the touch fx section i have seen a few other content creator's demonstrate on the unit. I have updated to the latest software but im not sure where they are located on the unit. Help
I have the Mix Stream pro original and the only thing I don't like is the EQ's don't have isolations. I can still hear the sound when I turn all EQ's down, aside from that it's great.
i just got this unit, ordered from the US….i lived in Asia, n my concern is the voltage on the power adapters..i havent plug it in yet, as im afraid it might go ‘kaboom’…im so used to European equipments, especially the UK where the voltages are above 200v…. may i need help on this issue? thank you so much🙋🏻♂️🙏🏻
Can this read Rekordbox USBs as a music source? I heard that other Engine units could. I want a portable DJ system that doesn't need AC power for small outside parties but I need my music library to stay in the RB ecosystem for events at venues.
Prime Go has no speakers, so you have to wire them up. This thing literally needs nothing else to work (other than headphones which, of course, is optional if you're just practicing at home). True standalone.
@@marcr-m1941 I know (I've got one Mixstream myself) Just wondering if Prime Go use streaming and just checked now and it does. Speakers undeed are very handy (forget about the pads) I was laughing at first but they sound surprisingly good 🔈🔉🔊
@@CosticaKristianDiVogli Ah, I see. Yeah, those speakers are so handy for practicing anywhere!! If the prime Go had Speakers and better jogs, it'd be a damn near perfect piece of DJ equipment, in my humble opinion.
@@marcr-m1941 Prime Looks good in the studio, next to samplers, etc. Also, when you're a touring DJ, you can use it in plane to create mixes, while you travel. :D
I've got a Mixstream pro Go with updat 3.30 and the system says tha i'm running the latesst version but i can't see FX Advances in the pull-downs screen. What can i do?? Is ther for example a possibility to update again or to delete previous updates an do it again or do i have to wait for a next update?
Just noticed....does this use the screen as a X Y pad similar to the Opus for effects?.....how do you get that on other Engine products...I have the SC Live 4....want this feature sooooo much 🙂
is there maybe a problem with the EQ ? are u agree they are very bad finally, ? there is no isolation of the sound ( drum , voice, instru ) like a basic application like edjing can do very well,
There are two types of DJ EQ, isolator and traditional. From memory (no time to check) I believe there is an option in settings where you can switch between the two. If not though, what is on here is pretty standard.
It will if you add some storage so it has somewhere to "save" them too - a good idea is to put an SD card in the SD slot around the back for this purpose.
@@digitaldjtips shame 😔 too tight to pay any subscriptions but bonus with the usb stick can still play free music great piece of kit thinking of getting one to learn and play about on thanks for this video
hi, question. I have a problem loading my music purchased on Beatport onto Dek 1 or 2.. it says error... but do you by any chance need a beatport subscription.. also to upload tracks that I have previously purchased? thanks 
I'm a huge tech person and I tend to watch a lot of tech reviews. From my experience when you see a company start releasing the same product each year, that's a sign that they've lost the ability to compete in their perspective market. Take Motorola as an example, they used to be leaders in smartphones, nowadays they barely make a decent flagship device. I think Hercules will take Numarks place as the value brand.
@@m-stat9 lmao relax, it's an observation based on statistics. They probably are doing fine but if you compare them to just about all of their competitors, in the last few years, what have they released? A 4 channel version of their 2 channel controller and 3 versions of the same controller with tiny additions. Again I'm just looking at their current product releases vs the others.
No chance. Stems takes a huge amount of processing power and the standalone units can't do it yet. I'm sure it's technically possible to build a unit that could but definitely not for sub £800.
@@williamgray1050 separating stems out in Engine DJ for use in the OS would be a possibility if Denon would implement it, the downside to that would be it would take up vast amounts of storage on the drive. But it's not possible through Engine yet.
Newer djs are spoiled, and most of the “flagship” high priced kits are bloated with so many features that really aren’t needed, and I’d even dare to say that 90% of djs don’t use anyways. If you were to take the pro go back in time to a “pro dj” playing on 1200s and vinyl their friggin heads would explode! Besides it’s not the kit a dj uses, it’s the music selection. So getting this.
This is a great basic unit, and as you say, even this is hugely powerful. However, pro gear is better than consumer gear in more ways than just feature-set, such as audio quality, component quality, I/O flexibility etc.
@@digitaldjtips agreed, I may have went on an “old school dj rant” 😂 I’ve experienced exactly what you’re referring to as far as audio quality & I/O. So I may just end up getting one of the Denon standalone systems. That portability though!!! Decisions must be made. On another note I think numark should rerelease their motorized 12”HDX with built in HD. (I still have both of mine and they work great with timecode) 👋🏼
@@digitaldjtips I just picked it up earlier, and I have to say I’m impressed! Coming from a standard CDJ layout I’m still getting used to the layout and navigating everything… immediately linked it to my Tidal Subscription, and am now spinning tracks directly off my playlists. This is where it shines. I do pop up art jams and markets , along with lounges and coffee shops for fun! Can’t wait to take it out for a spin! So much fun
@@digitaldjtips awesome,mine arrived yesterday,might be able to use it in ten years-this engine software is abysmal,going to take forever to ready any tunes in that
The manual says you can connect a usb keyboard to help make searching for tracks easier but that’s all it says… Is anybody using one? I’m really interested to see how that works. I used to use one with my VERY old numarK IDJ2, and it had keyboard shortcuts to open a search, load to deck A / B etc. You could have the keyboard tucked away and almost get away with not using the built in navigation controls on the unit… and that was over 10 years ago. So what can you do with these midstream units and a keyboard… anybody know?
Good question, you can definitely use to search but not sure about other functions - probably not. Also you can use a Bluetooth keyboard with some of these units too.
@@digitaldjtips I actually have the Pro +. Does it have the same capability of sampling. I have the DJ Tags already but just need to assign them to pads.
@@digitaldjtips Thanks for your help. I have the Pro Plus and once I connected to Wi-fi and updated the unit, I had the ability to use the sample and add my DJ Tags. This unit has way more bang for the buck and a lot of pro features and with an update, we may get STEMS.
... but still no "white/bright" mode for outside. i used the first one a lot outside (batter bank) so it's funny to see it evolve to a battery powered solution. the devs need to try a laptop outside in "light-mode" (white background) outside to see why i sold it.
Not sure I understand the reason here. I get the Prime Go (like it, want one). I get the old bargain basement Mixstream (tried it, felt cheap and overpriced at $499, but I get the idea). I don't get this unit...speakers aren't loud enough and it's way too overpriced, IMO.
@@digitaldjtips do you know how to save hot cues on this controller? I can’t figure it out and every time I turn back on my controller all my cues are gone
Pro? Good enough to use at a rave, cheap enough to write off if you get busted. Works like a live sequencer for techno. With IEMs and connected to a PA this could easily be used in the field.. or in a field.
Mine loads so slowly that the first track is almost over by the time the second track loads. Unless you're using a USB its awful if you want to be creative.
ok but i get my music from all kinds of sources except for subscription sites which this will lock a .lot of newbies into.Not using a laptop is appealing but that does rather depend on what it is you are doing.I broadcast on Twitch with a two pc set up using video and effects both video and audio.What concerns me is this attempt to lock in kids to a few media subscription services that might lock them in and away from a much broader pallet of sounds while also costing them more in the long run.When this machine breaks then what?.Ok for a young bedroom like a cheap 7 inch record player when i was a kid but just for a couple of years i think when some of those kids will get serious.Hopefully they will be able to broaden their horizons when that time comes.
There is a huge disadvantage with this controller. You can not listen to HI/LO pass filter or any of the FX through the Headphones. Only through the main speakers. It's kind hard to be able to mix properly without listening to the filter or fx. For this reason I would not purchase this unit or any unit that uses Engine DJ. What a bummer!
It still sucks, short pitch fader, fx area needs a rework and filter position. If Numark improve the Mixstream I would consider it as a backup for my denon sc live 2.
idk, Everything about to me seems Pro to me. Pioneer stand alone boxes are mostly plastic,. The mixstream now has Mic EQ inside software. The synth crowd does the same thing, they seem to be a bit of gear snobs. To say this is not pro even for it's size, is a political statement if you ask me..
No, a DJ's statement based upon assessment of the features of the gear. This is great for what it is, indeed I taught my daughter to DJ on it, but it is not designed for pro use.
@@digitaldjtips After taking a closer look at it, yes I would agree with you. Yea those pitch sliders are pretty small. Build build quality seems very nice, with XLR out. I would say it's pretty close. Thank you for the great review, I have one on order and plan to take it to the park, Beach and other places.
Ok so been getting used to it, and am definitely digging it more and more, but have noticed something rather odd. Here’s how I have it set up at the moment. Wi-Fi enabled, and streaming directly off my Tidal playlists. I noticed that when I hover my hand over the platter (approximately 1 inch) it will stutter the playback of the track and will COMPLETELY pause the track if I keep my hand steady hovered above the deck that’s playing. Strange huh? And it only does it on the deck that’s playing. Oh and I also switched the scratch mode to “smart” held my hand hovered over the deck and it pauses the track as if I were physically holding it… and it shows on the beat grid. Kinda cool…. Yet very strange! Anybody else have this happen??
This is due to the capacitive technology used in the jogwheels, and can occasionally happen .Try it with/without the mains adaptor plugged in. Try it in a different location, or plugged in to a different plug socket. Any difference?
@@digitaldjtips I will definitely try that and see if it being closer to the Wi-Fi source will have an affect on it. I’ll reply here with my findings. Thanks 🙌🏼
I just DJed from a Hot Air Balloon th-cam.com/video/BeEtDOjKm7I/w-d-xo.html Definitely purchasing now to replace my beat up DDJ-400 that has also been in off road race cars, hanging from a cliff, inside a volcano (literally) and up the deadly Angels landing hike. This will be the progression of my next adventurous DJ sets
I bought 1 of these because of the videos praising it, the hardware is ok, the ideas good, but it's crippled by the shite engine software, so it sits there as another useless gadget because it cant be used for djing
I use my MixStream Pro, for over 2 years, for my mobile DJ ❤ have zero issue.. love it ❤
Great to hear!
I just bought a Mixstream Pro+ and it’s a great piece of kit. Really easy and so much fun to use.
This is a game changer for me. lying in bed making sets. been waiting 5 years for this. now all we need is for denon or pioneer to make a bigger one.
Maybe they will!

It's literally what I want from Pioneer, but with normal sized tempo fader, can't see how you could even remotely actually beat match on thoose, aside that i like it
Set the fader to +4 not +8. Not ideal for mixing outside of a specific genre.
you actually can beatmix on them, they're better than they look
@@digitaldjtips If you set them to +4 you can no problem, but Engine invites you to use the visual queues. I don't use sync though. Setting the waves to horizontal and using the nudge buttons is better.
Just purchased this to have some fun with in my spare time. Question though, thinking long term value and updates. You mentioned that there were two other units prior to this one and aside from the battery and adding in other music subscription services, they are the same. I am hoping that the built in chip on the software has been updated as well during the years, or is it still several years old…. Would hate to buy this and in a year the software is too much for the hardware and I either stop getting updates or it simply becomes a slug and slow to use. Thanks for any feedback on this question
Very marginal differences
Question: when ik go to the 'pull down screen' I don't see the FX-advances 'symbol'??? I do have i think the latest update??!!😏
can you connect it to a bluetooth speaker?
For someone coming in to learn how to DJ not thinking about doing it professionally but that wants a simple setup to stream from home ( and see if anyone watches or listens in) would this be a good starting unit to simplify things?
I have a consulting business and can’t use my personal laptop for DJ ing and buying another one just for that seems expensive.
Could this be a good starting point that simplifies things for me? I was thinking about getting a Pioneer DDJ REV 1 and using Algoriddm but then again I have the laptop problem + Speakers I have a 3 year old and my space is limited. Please help and advice this noob ! 😅
Yes, this would be absolutely excellent for that.
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my questions about this! @@digitaldjtips
Can I plug my external hard drive up to this
Oh yes, the color sheme looks so much better now! A shame those pitchfaders are still that short. There would 've been enough space to add 1-2cm extra. But otherwise a great unit. With much better jogs and better EQ placement than the Denon Go, with added speakers at a cheaper price.
They actually are pretty accurate.
@@digitaldjtips That is correct especially at the 4% range, but still, I rather have 8-10cm than 4-5cm faders.
Numark owns Denon
Kind of. inMusic, the parent company, owns both brands (and Rane, M-Audio, Akai etc.)
Hi have you used the mic on this unit at a pup ext .just wondering if its good enough say to used on a wedding ext
At a push but this is not a pro unit by any means (despite the name!)
This numark or the sc live 2 woth a powerbank battery?
Heyyy
I wondering if you can be of some help to me?
My mixstream pro go has arrived but i cant seem to locate the touch fx section i have seen a few other content creator's demonstrate on the unit. I have updated to the latest software but im not sure where they are located on the unit.
Help
I don’t think is available for current users, only for testing and review units. Hopefully is coming soon!
that update wont be until mid june for the general population.....day mode is also coming as well as bluetooth and serato, VDJ integration.
Is there total kill on the eq or still -26 like the first gen?
I have the Mix Stream pro original and the only thing I don't like is the EQ's don't have isolations. I can still hear the sound when I turn all EQ's down, aside from that it's great.
You can change that in the menu
@@leandroTavioCabrera yeah they recently just added this
Can't wait for the Denon DJ version.
I wanted to ask can the battery be replaced when it no longer gives a full charge after some years of use?
Not that we know of
Is it possible to add effects to the mic line?
Is it small enough to use during flights?
No
I'd use Prime Go for flights
Yes….in Emirates 1st Class 😂
Looks good, I'm going to wait for Rolands next offering before i make a final decision on a secondary controller though
As a Roland DJ-505 user, I'm also fascinated to know what Roland are going to do next, particularly now with STEMS support.
what make you think roland is going to release a new controller? just cause its been 4 yrs ago? just curious
is the eq in the mixer kill to zero??
Hi Phil, hi DDJT family
Hi
100mm pitch fader and it would be perfect.
Researching portable all in ones here. Is there any new about omnis duo getting Beatport or any other streaming?
No
i just got this unit, ordered from the US….i lived in Asia, n my concern is the voltage on the power adapters..i havent plug it in yet, as im afraid it might go ‘kaboom’…im so used to European equipments, especially the UK where the voltages are above 200v…. may i need help on this issue?
thank you so much🙋🏻♂️🙏🏻
It uses a transformer so at the very worst you may beed a different adaptor, not sure though.
Can this read Rekordbox USBs as a music source? I heard that other Engine units could. I want a portable DJ system that doesn't need AC power for small outside parties but I need my music library to stay in the RB ecosystem for events at venues.
It can do what other Engine units can do, it's the same software.
yes it will read rekord box files
Finally! What bout Denon Prime Go, not completely wireless? Thanks.
Prime Go has no speakers, so you have to wire them up. This thing literally needs nothing else to work (other than headphones which, of course, is optional if you're just practicing at home). True standalone.
@@marcr-m1941 I know (I've got one Mixstream myself) Just wondering if Prime Go use streaming and just checked now and it does. Speakers undeed are very handy (forget about the pads) I was laughing at first but they sound surprisingly good 🔈🔉🔊
@@CosticaKristianDiVogli Ah, I see. Yeah, those speakers are so handy for practicing anywhere!! If the prime Go had Speakers and better jogs, it'd be a damn near perfect piece of DJ equipment, in my humble opinion.
@@marcr-m1941 Prime Looks good in the studio, next to samplers, etc. Also, when you're a touring DJ, you can use it in plane to create mixes, while you travel. :D
I've got a Mixstream pro Go with updat 3.30 and the system says tha i'm running the latesst version but i can't see FX Advances in the pull-downs screen. What can i do?? Is ther for example a possibility to update again or to delete previous updates an do it again or do i have to wait for a next update?
Just noticed....does this use the screen as a X Y pad similar to the Opus for effects?.....how do you get that on other Engine products...I have the SC Live 4....want this feature sooooo much 🙂
It is coming, apparently.
Great intro video! Can it play songs from spotify? Thanks!
No, unfortunately Spotify doesn't work with any DJ gear.
Thanks.
I installed a diy charging circuit inside with one lipo pack getting 8h already one year ago, fortunately I don’t need to upgrade now! 😂
Good work!
How do you save your hot cues? Every time I set all my cues, the next time I turn on the controller they’re all gone.
Are you using a streaming service for your music? If so, make sure you have a USB inserted, because it needs that to store them.
is there maybe a problem with the EQ ? are u agree they are very bad finally, ? there is no isolation of the sound ( drum , voice, instru ) like a basic application like edjing can do very well,
There are two types of DJ EQ, isolator and traditional. From memory (no time to check) I believe there is an option in settings where you can switch between the two. If not though, what is on here is pretty standard.
You can isolate, same as prime
If I wanted to stream music, would the software save all cues/loops etc (on this or mixstream pro)
It will if you add some storage so it has somewhere to "save" them too - a good idea is to put an SD card in the SD slot around the back for this purpose.
It will not connect to a venue ( hotel) WiFi yes a back up is a must! Otherwise I love mine
Try updating the firmware
Will it play videos?
Not standalone
Can you access you tube through this controller ? Free music
No
@@digitaldjtips shame 😔 too tight to pay any subscriptions but bonus with the usb stick can still play free music great piece of kit thinking of getting one to learn and play about on thanks for this video
hi, question. I have a problem loading my music purchased on Beatport onto Dek 1 or 2.. it says error... but do you by any chance need a beatport subscription.. also to upload tracks that I have previously purchased? thanks

You need a Beatport subscription to use Beatport with this unit, yes.
@@digitaldjtips ooh... thank you🤟
In the pulldownscreen i don't see FX Advanced like in 10.30 in in above youtube review??!! Does somebody know what's the reason????
Have you got the latest firmware?
Thanks for your reply!! My firmware is 3.30@@digitaldjtips
Can you change that microscopic screen to a larger font? I can even see it.
Sadly not, it is one of my criticisms of Engine DJ - it's only an issue on the 7" screen, on the bigger Prime 4+ screen it looks great.
@@digitaldjtips thanks for the reply 👍
Whats the battery Life?
Mojaxx got it to play for over four hours with the screen on full brightness and the speaker volume to the max
Cool thanks for sharing
Hi guys can u type in a song name using the screen & has the Serato update happened yet?
Engine os is 3.01 on software to mate
how many mixstream are there going to make
I'm a huge tech person and I tend to watch a lot of tech reviews. From my experience when you see a company start releasing the same product each year, that's a sign that they've lost the ability to compete in their perspective market. Take Motorola as an example, they used to be leaders in smartphones, nowadays they barely make a decent flagship device. I think Hercules will take Numarks place as the value brand.
@@atypical_blk_guy lmao, what a bunch of nonsense. Denon and Numark are doing perfectly fine.
@@m-stat9 lmao relax, it's an observation based on statistics. They probably are doing fine but if you compare them to just about all of their competitors, in the last few years, what have they released? A 4 channel version of their 2 channel controller and 3 versions of the same controller with tiny additions. Again I'm just looking at their current product releases vs the others.
Does the hardware have the capacity to be updated with STEMS??
No chance. Stems takes a huge amount of processing power and the standalone units can't do it yet. I'm sure it's technically possible to build a unit that could but definitely not for sub £800.
But STEMS edited tracks can be saved to SD / USB to play? I guess silly question - yes!…..?
@@williamgray1050 separating stems out in Engine DJ for use in the OS would be a possibility if Denon would implement it, the downside to that would be it would take up vast amounts of storage on the drive. But it's not possible through Engine yet.
@@gavlyons215 i am waitin for that day!
We'd never say never...
Newer djs are spoiled, and most of the “flagship” high priced kits are bloated with so many features that really aren’t needed, and I’d even dare to say that 90% of djs don’t use anyways.
If you were to take the pro go back in time to a “pro dj” playing on 1200s and vinyl their friggin heads would explode!
Besides it’s not the kit a dj uses, it’s the music selection. So getting this.
This is a great basic unit, and as you say, even this is hugely powerful. However, pro gear is better than consumer gear in more ways than just feature-set, such as audio quality, component quality, I/O flexibility etc.
@@digitaldjtips agreed, I may have went on an “old school dj rant” 😂 I’ve experienced exactly what you’re referring to as far as audio quality & I/O. So I may just end up getting one of the Denon standalone systems. That portability though!!! Decisions must be made.
On another note I think numark should rerelease their motorized 12”HDX with built in HD. (I still have both of mine and they work great with timecode) 👋🏼
@@digitaldjtips I just picked it up earlier, and I have to say I’m impressed! Coming from a standard CDJ layout I’m still getting used to the layout and navigating everything… immediately linked it to my Tidal Subscription, and am now spinning tracks directly off my playlists. This is where it shines. I do pop up art jams and markets , along with lounges and coffee shops for fun! Can’t wait to take it out for a spin! So much fun
Does it actually work with amazon?
Yes
@@digitaldjtips awesome,mine arrived yesterday,might be able to use it in ten years-this engine software is abysmal,going to take forever to ready any tunes in that
Waiting for the prime go with DIY replaceable battery
Maybe...
The manual says you can connect a usb keyboard to help make searching for tracks easier but that’s all it says…
Is anybody using one? I’m really interested to see how that works.
I used to use one with my VERY old numarK IDJ2, and it had keyboard shortcuts to open a search, load to deck A / B etc.
You could have the keyboard tucked away and almost get away with not using the built in navigation controls on the unit… and that was over 10 years ago.
So what can you do with these midstream units and a keyboard… anybody know?
Good question, you can definitely use to search but not sure about other functions - probably not. Also you can use a Bluetooth keyboard with some of these units too.
Can you use apple music
Glad to help Don
Is there a way to get DJ tags assigned to the pads?
Yes this unit has a sampler
@@digitaldjtips I actually have the Pro +. Does it have the same capability of sampling. I have the DJ Tags already but just need to assign them to pads.
@@digitaldjtips Thanks for your help. I have the Pro Plus and once I connected to Wi-fi and updated the unit, I had the ability to use the sample and add my DJ Tags.
This unit has way more bang for the buck and a lot of pro features and with an update, we may get STEMS.
... but still no "white/bright" mode for outside. i used the first one a lot outside (batter bank) so it's funny to see it evolve to a battery powered solution. the devs need to try a laptop outside in "light-mode" (white background) outside to see why i sold it.
It's coming, they have already announced it (see full review)
It is coming soon on a update also Bluetooth
Not sure I understand the reason here. I get the Prime Go (like it, want one). I get the old bargain basement Mixstream (tried it, felt cheap and overpriced at $499, but I get the idea). I don't get this unit...speakers aren't loud enough and it's way too overpriced, IMO.
Fair enough! Speakers are loud enough for practising.
It I's the same software as denon DJ engine os software mate
I mean, you could play a festival with one of these without a doubt.
you could play a festival with an iPhone!
I got my numark but i don't know how tu us with my computers 😢😢😢
You don't need to, it is standalone. If you want to use it as a laptop controller, use Serato.
@@digitaldjtips do you know how to save hot cues on this controller? I can’t figure it out and every time I turn back on my controller all my cues are gone
Does someone have an answer on my question below???
Pro? Good enough to use at a rave, cheap enough to write off if you get busted. Works like a live sequencer for techno. With IEMs and connected to a PA this could easily be used in the field.. or in a field.
agreed.
Busted why?
Mine loads so slowly that the first track is almost over by the time the second track loads. Unless you're using a USB its awful if you want to be creative.
You mean from streaming? That'l be an internet thing, it's very fast to load for us.
@@digitaldjtips yes sir
@@digitaldjtips i agree a better connection equals fast load time for streaming tracks.
Is there a reverse (hamster) crossfader feature?
If pros will love it then it’s pro
ok but i get my music from all kinds of sources except for subscription sites which this will lock a .lot of newbies into.Not using a laptop is appealing but that does rather depend on what it is you are doing.I broadcast on Twitch with a two pc set up using video and effects both video and audio.What concerns me is this attempt to lock in kids to a few media subscription services that might lock them in and away from a much broader pallet of sounds while also costing them more in the long run.When this machine breaks then what?.Ok for a young bedroom like a cheap 7 inch record player when i was a kid but just for a couple of years i think when some of those kids will get serious.Hopefully they will be able to broaden their horizons when that time comes.
What do you mean? This controller has an SD card slot, works with serato, engine, and VDJ, and can have a laptop plugged into it.
Tidy for what it is
So…. let’s wait for the Mixstream Pro Go+ with inputs and metallic build lol
Keep dreaming 😅
There is a huge disadvantage with this controller. You can not listen to HI/LO pass filter or any of the FX through the Headphones. Only through the main speakers.
It's kind hard to be able to mix properly without listening to the filter or fx.
For this reason I would not purchase this unit or any unit that uses Engine DJ.
What a bummer!
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Important point not mentioned.
In theory, this should be fixable with a software update since it's all software based.
@@jesseopjescherm True, I asked about this on r/beatmatch and someone mentioned there is an indication it will be fixed in a future software update.
It still sucks, short pitch fader, fx area needs a rework and filter position. If Numark improve the Mixstream I would consider it as a backup for my denon sc live 2.
Thanks for sharing.
wish it was as pro as the mpc live is.
Had my mixstream pro for a year and the channel 2 fader has failed.would not buy another.
idk, Everything about to me seems Pro to me. Pioneer stand alone boxes are mostly plastic,. The mixstream now has Mic EQ inside software. The synth crowd does the same thing, they seem to be a bit of gear snobs. To say this is not pro even for it's size, is a political statement if you ask me..
No, a DJ's statement based upon assessment of the features of the gear. This is great for what it is, indeed I taught my daughter to DJ on it, but it is not designed for pro use.
@@digitaldjtips After taking a closer look at it, yes I would agree with you. Yea those pitch sliders are pretty small. Build build quality seems very nice, with XLR out. I would say it's pretty close. Thank you for the great review, I have one on order and plan to take it to the park, Beach and other places.
Ok so been getting used to it, and am definitely digging it more and more, but have noticed something rather odd. Here’s how I have it set up at the moment.
Wi-Fi enabled, and streaming directly off my Tidal playlists.
I noticed that when I hover my hand over the platter (approximately 1 inch) it will stutter the playback of the track and will COMPLETELY pause the track if I keep my hand steady hovered above the deck that’s playing. Strange huh? And it only does it on the deck that’s playing. Oh and I also switched the scratch mode to “smart” held my hand hovered over the deck and it pauses the track as if I were physically holding it… and it shows on the beat grid.
Kinda cool…. Yet very strange!
Anybody else have this happen??
This is due to the capacitive technology used in the jogwheels, and can occasionally happen .Try it with/without the mains adaptor plugged in. Try it in a different location, or plugged in to a different plug socket. Any difference?
@@digitaldjtips I will definitely try that and see if it being closer to the Wi-Fi source will have an affect on it. I’ll reply here with my findings. Thanks 🙌🏼
The force is strong in this one 😂
I just DJed from a Hot Air Balloon th-cam.com/video/BeEtDOjKm7I/w-d-xo.html
Definitely purchasing now to replace my beat up DDJ-400 that has also been in off road race cars, hanging from a cliff, inside a volcano (literally) and up the deadly Angels landing hike. This will be the progression of my next adventurous DJ sets
Wow, sounds like a lot of fun!
Cheap and cheerful.
Yes or no!
No more acounts!
Can we use it without the Internet period..?!
We just need to know why? Why do I need the Internet…!?!
I bought 1 of these because of the videos praising it, the hardware is ok, the ideas good, but it's crippled by the shite engine software, so it sits there as another useless gadget because it cant be used for djing
Beg to differ, it is great software and very easy to DJ on
ruined by poverty pitch faders
It’s meant for consumer use (despite the pro in the title)
If it sounds better than Pioneer I’d get it. The pitch control is absolute trash and a waste of money on those things.
