Transitioning Between Djs - Numark NS6 II Quick Start Manual

Transitioning Between DJs

The NS6II allows two computers running Serato DJ to connect to the unit simultaneously. This allows
two DJs to play at the same time for easy DJ set changeovers. With a computer already connected
to the NS6II and playing (PC1), do the following:
1. Connect a second computer (PC2) to the unused USB port on NS6II's rear panel. Once the
computer has connected, the software will show all decks offline. The first computer will still
control both sides of NS6II.
2. Before giving PC2 control of one side of NS6II, make sure no audio is playing from PC2 on that
deck, as it will go offline. Then, press and hold Shift and press the Browse Focus / PC1/PC2
button on the non-playing deck.
PC2 will now control the two channels on that side of the controller, and will automatically have
focus of the browse controls. Use the browse knob to scroll through the library, then add the
desired track to the deck by pressing the Load button.
3. Play a track on PC2's deck and mix it in when ready—you'll now have audio from both
computers in the mix. For example, while PC1 uses Deck A (and the mixer controls for Channels
1 & 3) to control their computer, PC2 can also use Deck B (and the mixer controls for Channels 2
& 4) to control their computer.
With one computer controlling each deck, press the Browse Focus / PC1/PC2 button on the
non-playing deck to switch control of the browse knob.
4. Fade out the audio playing from PC1's computer to the audio playing from PC2's computer.
When only the audio from PC2's computer is left in the mix, press and hold Shift and press the
Browse Focus / PC1/PC2 button on the non-playing deck. Now, PC2 is using both Decks A
and B to control their computer. You can now disconnect PC1's computer from NS6II.
Note: If a deck is already in use by a computer, the computer's virtual deck (in Serato DJ) will
become black and display IN USE.
