Numark Platinum Fx Software

[Perpetuo Carlson]

Basedon the information availalable on -platinum-fx, you will need a USB adapter like this --> USB-C to USB Adapter - Apple for the connection ... and you will need the downloadable Serato DG Lite software (and keep in mind that this is a very light version of Serato DG).

My name is Brennan Galley and I am the Canadian Technical Sales Manager for inMusic Canada. I tour Canada coast to coast and show musicians how to use innovative instruments, DJ and Music production equipment. One of the companies I represent is Numark.

The Mix track platinum is the newest member of the Mixtrack family from Numark. It is a DJ controller that comes with Serato DJ Intro. Both platters have adaptive capacitive touch. Capacitive touch is used when you touch the deck. Doing this will dead stop the playback of your song and allow you to scratch the track inside of Serato.

When you load songs into Serato DJ you need to do some preparation and organize your music. In the bottom left of serato there is a bin section. Create a new Bin. Rename it and than drag your music content into this folder. As Serato loads the track it will analyze the key, and the BPM of the track. It does this really well with songs that have a strong beat. After the track is analyzed you can manually put cue points into the song. This will give you locations that you can jump to so that you can extend and remix the song. If you press an unassigned cue button while the song is playing back it will mark the location inside of Serato. If you want to erase a Cue point that you have created, hold down shift and push the cue point that you want removed. This video shows you how to navigate loading a sound inside of Serato using the controls of the Mixtrack Platinum.

When you are mixing songs without headphones it really comes down to your preparedness. If you have organized a set list inside of the bins in Serato, you will know that track to track everything will sound right. A lot of the tracks that I DJ with are ones that I have made. This means that I can intentionally write songs in certain keys so that I can be lazier as a DJ. Serato helps you identify what songs will sound good together. It will tell you what the key is of your song with a numb system. The numbers go from 1 to 12 and there is an A version and a B version. A means Minor Key, B means Major key. Any song that is one number away from your current song will sound good blended together.

This video shows you how to enter the Manual Loop Mode and how to set an in point, an out point, and how to kill the loop. One thing that I failed to show in this series is how the kill button can be pressed again and repurposed to recall the loop that you most previously had set up.

Inside of Serato you can load samples. These can be from a full length songs or single hit. I like to use them for single sounds so I can instantly finger drum over any song. When you first turn on the sampler it will set up for the Main output (labeled M when you drop down the sampler Window.)

In this video I show you how to open the Sampler window and how to assign the audio output. If you pick a channel output for the sampler, instead of the Main audio output, you can use the filter to change the sound of the samples.

The Mixtrack family of controllers come with Capacitive touch platters. What this means is that when you touch the top of the platters the track comes to a dead stop. If you keep touching the top of the platters and move the wheel back and forth it will scratch the track.

The Mixtrack platinum gives you tactile control over the effects inside of Serato. If you hold down shift and press the effect on off button you can toggle through the different effects that you have available on your computer. The ribbon control acts as an effect amount control and is simultaneously applied to all three effect slots.

The Mixtrack Platinum is an affordable controller loaded down with features. If you have any questions or would like other subjects covered please let me know. If you would like to set up a SKYPE tutorial please send an email to fierc...@gmail.com
