This is the complete review video of the Numark NS6 Digital 4-deck DJ Controller. This is definitely one of the best controllers on the market with excellent faders and jog wheels that make this a complete package. I had lots of fun using this Numark Controller and I'm sure anyone else who grabs one of these will feel the same way.

    Great tutorial, very impormative. I just got one for my son because he likes FX. I'm an old school Dj and i agreed that Numark should come up with spinning jog/platter for the NS6, but i have my set of 1200s anywayz.Thanks for the video!

    He's right people...Jog wheels and cue buttons are VERY accurate. Got mine this pass weekend. Confident I made the right choice for my style of mixing and budget, despite the fact that this unit made it's debut 3 or 4 years ago. Originally used Traktor (which I love) but I now use ITCH for this unit. I like ITCH paired with this unit a lot. Thanx for influencing my decision.

    Blaze this is an excellent review. Thanks. I am considering this unit in addition to my ns7. The ns6 would simply be easier to transport. But I was wondering if I would be able to hook my ns7 into the ns6 for jam session purposes. I am thinking I could use the 2 decks on the ns6 and another dj use the decks on the ns7 for freestyle mix recording purposes. Is that possible?

    I want to know if on the Serato Itch software, do you ALWAYS see 4 tracks available or can you choose to see ONLY 2, so that way I could see more of my music library? I really don't need 4 deck controls, but I like the size of the platters and the price compared to the Pioneer DDJ-S1. The view mode is a real deciding factor for me, looking a two empty tracks is really going to annoy me quickly if I would rarely use them.

    Based on what you were saying about the line faders on the nS6 it seem it will operate the same way as the NS7 line faders. Just dont know what to do. I might try the NS6 and see if it is different but like I said based on the 5:29 mark in your video it seems as if the NS6 will be the same way. I just want the line faders to work normally without the curve. And I cant keep them set a 1 position because all the songs are not the same volume. Any suggestions.

    As far as 2 channel mixing goes, in a heads up battle, which is the better controller in your opinion, the DDJ-S1 or the NS6? I like the 4 deck control capability (even though I might not mix 4 channels right away but eventually after purchasing) and construction material of the NS6 compared to the mostly plastic construction of the DDJ-S1.

    Hi Melvin, Watched a lot of your vids before making a purchase. Ordered NS6 yesterday, I have always been a Pioneer and Denon user when I was a club D.J. back in the day, but I recently was talked into coming out of retirement a lil bit and wanted to Use a PC for the first time when mixing. While I am waiting to get the NS6 I was wondering can you tell me if the effects can be applied to the Mic like some of the Pioneer mixers do? Thanks for the vids helped make a pricey decision.

    See right now I have the NS& and I am having a problem with the Line faders. It seem as if the line faders are on a curve also. Even if I turn the line faders up to half way (50% position) I still dont hear the music well. The sound does not really come in until about the 75% position. And the gain works the same way as well (as if it is on a curve. And I think this is the way the NS7 is made because I have tried three different NS7s and all are like that.

I like to scratch and the mixtrack holds it down. I can only imagine that the ns6 is only better.
