Numark Mixtrack Go

Numark Mixtrack Go is a USB MIDI controller with an integrated audio interface. It improves on the concept of the Numark DJ2GO2 Touch by adding:

  • STEMS tracks support - the STEMS support in Mixxx is added on version 2.6.
  • Shifting - now some buttons have alternate actions if pressed while shifted.
  • Mode selection is independent for each deck.
  • Better LED feedback.
  • More controls.

Usefull links:

The Numark Mixtrack Go controller is a USB Audio and MIDI Class compliant device and works with Linux, macOS, and Windows.

   - While Fade FX can use any effect available on each channel, effects that dont have their reset point at 0, may not work as expected.
   - Effects that don't reset at 0 are the effects that are at their lowest intensity when the knob is turned all the way to the left.
   - These effects currently are:
       - Filter Echo
       - Mid/Side
       - Balance
       - Filter
       - Loudness
       - Moog Filter
       - Pitch Shift

Soundcard Setup

This controller has a built-in 4 channel output sound card, with a stereo Main output (3.5mm jack) and stereo Headphone output (3.5mm jack).

  • Open Preferences > Sound Hardware
  • Select the Output tab.
  • From the Main drop-down menu, select the audio interface, then Channels 1-2.
  • From the Headphones drop-down menu, select the audio interface, then Channels 3-4.
  • Click Apply to save the changes.
