How To Use Numark Party Mix With Serato

[Janie Mccorey]

Youare going to love having all the professional DJ features that come with Party Mix. Each deck is ready with four cue points with readily-accessible pads for effects. You can toggle through the Pad Mode and find your auto loop functions and create loops on 8, 4, 2 and 1-bar phrases. You can add instant effects to your music and you can toggle through and find your sampler for access to pre-loaded samples and drums or add your own (4 on each side).

Bring on the lights! The three LED light arrays sync to your mix, flashing from the back of the Party Mix, illuminating your performance. You can leave them on or turn them off, whatever you like. They add a cool dimension to your performance, moving to the beat, setting the perfect party mood.

Party Mix includes Serato DJ Lite and can be downloaded from our website. You have absolute control with Party Mix on how you want to mix, blend, loop, add effects and sample. Manage your music, using your iTunes playlists or put together your own great playlists and create your mixes.

The original Party Mix quickly became one of the best-selling DJ controllers of all time. The Party Mix II takes the legacy to the next level with even more pro-level features added to the mix! The Party Mix II is always ready for a good time. Simply plug in your laptop or mobile device and start mixing your ultimate party playlist. With the flick of a switch, the built-in light show takes things to the next level with a colorful light show that dances to the beat.

You no longer need a huge music library to start DJing. The Party Mix II DJ controller works with Serato Lite DJ software, giving you access to streaming services like TIDAL, Beatport LINK, Beatsource LINK, and SoundCloud GO. A streaming DJ controller means that the hottest tracks are available at your fingertips for you to create your custom party playlist.

If you'd rather bring a phone or tablet to the party, the Party Mix II is also compatible with popular DJ mobile apps like djay PRO AI by Algorriddim. Just connect your mobile device to the Party Mix II by using a USB camera connection kit (sold separately) to get the party started.

Set the party atmosphere with a DJ controller with lights! The Party Mix II features three multi-colored LEDs with special wide-coverage lenses for a room-filling, beat-synchronized light show. The switch on the side of the controller allows you to turn the light show on and off whenever you like.

The Party Mix II has enough pro-grade features to handle virtually any party. The 1/8-inch main audio output allows you to hook up external speakers to bring your music to life while still monitoring the mix with the 1/8-inch headphone output connection.

Four performance pads on each deck allow quick access to cue points, loops, effects or samples. In addition to Play and Cue buttons on each deck, Sync buttons allow for the automatic tempo matching of two tracks for perfectly aligned mixes. Dedicated Filter knobs on each deck help add a pro-grade sound to your mixes, and the software-adjustable crossfader allows for sharp cuts for scratches or long, smooth fades for mixes.

The Party Mix II also features two large, high-quality jog wheels that respond to your touch and allow you to manipulate your music with style. Backspin, pause, and even scratch your tracks as you work your way through your party playlist. The outer rings of the wheels function as a pitch-bend so that you can nudge tracks into alignment for the perfect mix.
