With the NS4FX you get unmatched flexibility thanks to the assignable crossfader allowing you to set any channel to either side of the crossfader or direct through to the master out. When it comes to the included performance pads and selectable pad modes, they work largely how you’d expect a set of performance pads to work. There are the sampler, hot cues, and auto loop buttons while also having a “fader cuts” option that essentially acts like a crossfader button. The main competitor for the Numark is the Pioneer DDJ-FLX6. Here are some key things to consider before purchasing one over the other. The Numark NS4FX fits a definite gap in the market for a mid-price, mid-range Serato controller. Honestly, we’ve not really known what to recommend to people when they ask about this recently, because the best current recommendation would be the Pioneer DJ DDJ-1000SRT– but that’s more than twice the price of this! The NS4FX comes with the renowned Serato DJ Lite software, enabling DJs to get mixing straight away with up to four channels. DJs may upgrade to a full-featured multi-channel mixing experience at any time since the NS4FX is completely mapped and ready for Serato DJ Pro! Other popular DJ software applications, such as Virtual DJ and Algorridim djay Pro AI, are also compatible with the NS4 controller.

The NS4FX, as mentioned, does really make itself known for the number of input and output ports it has available. Not only are there mic inputs /aux inputs (complete with the tone controls), but the controller also comes with an additional mic input as well as a balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA output port. This all goes to affect its performance and makes it great for bars and clubs as well as lounges and large public events.The DDJ-FLX6 works with both Serato DJ and Rekordbox. Rekordbox isn’t supported on the Numark NS4FX. Therefore, if you think you would like to end up on CDJs in a club, then it makes sense to get the FLX6 and get used to the Rekordbox eco-system. This ultimately negates any need for an alternative USB microphone or audio interface when live streaming on your laptop. Overall Performance What We Like From an aesthetic design perspective, the NS4FX has a slightly light grey color with performance pads that glow white while in use rather than red or yellow. They’ve decided to not run with a USB-powered DJ controller. Each controller has many performance features; however, the Numark NS4FX is more suited to Serato DJ. The FLX6 is labelled primarily for Rekordbox, so it can get confusing when switching between pad modes on Serato DJ Pro. Yes! The NS4FX features two independent 1/4" microphone inputs and an RCA Aux input for line-level devices such as a phone or tablet, CD/media player, or even another DJ controller or mixer. The Aux input is shared with Mic 1.

Numark’s NS4FX controller is a 4-channel DJ controller that loses out on some of the more advanced features (such as a standalone mixer or comprehensive RGB performance pads) while retaining other more practical things like mic & aux inputs as well as booth outputs. The NS4FX comes complete with a copy of Serato DJ Lite so you can enjoy four-channel mixing straight out of the box. The controller is fully mapped and ready to use with Serato DJ Pro should you want to upgrade to a fully-fledge mixing experience. Not only that, but the NS4FX is also compatible with both Virtual DJ and Algoriddim djay Pro AI. Features You can control 4 channels, each with individual EQ and filters as well as dual layer transport controls and high resolution displays in the jog wheels. In fact, it’s a lot bigger than most beginner DJ controllers and honestly on par with most professional ones. True to form, it doesn’t have a mixer but does make up for that somewhat by instead coming with four channels, 24-bit audio, and an assortment of different in and out ports. Build Yes! This is one of the highlights of the NS4FX! The Main Outputs, the Aux input and both Mic inputs all send their audio signal to your computer for live streaming your DJ sets with ease!Invite a guest vocalist or MC to host your set using one of the two microphone inputs available. The front panel mic input features both volume and tone controls, perfect for getting the sound you want. The Numark NS4FX also includes Serato DJ Lite software, allowing you to start mixing with all four channels straight out of the box. It’s also perfect for live streaming setups as the sound from the microphone gets mixed with the master output and passed along the USB cable to your computer. Therefore you won’t need any external soundcards to be able to live stream with a microphone from this controller, something other controllers of this price don’t offer.
