Great Overview!
Shortee does a great job going over all the features of the NV in detail and in a way that is easy to digest and understand. I've had the Numark NV for a few months now and felt like I had a pretty solid grasp on the majority of the features, but watching this video definitely filled in any gaps in my understanding of the controller and gave me a ton of new ideas of how to use many features of the NV. This is a great companion piece to her overview of the Serato software. I definitely recommend watching both series to fully understand whats going on. Probably watch the software series first, then watch this hardware series on the NV second. It will get you pumped to jump on your controller and make some music!

Every button on the Numark NV explained
I am new to the DJ world and bought my 1st controller, the Numark NV. There's another video on groove3 that explains the Numark NV, but this one by DJ Shortee gets into more details. So if you had to choose between the two, get this one. DJ Shortee goes over all the buttons in pretty great detail. I can tell that she's been playing around with the controller for awhile. I will have to watch this training series more than once because there's a lot of information. It looks like Shortee really enjoys teaching, has a pleasant disposition, and is good at what she does. I also watched her other training video--complete guide to Serato--and that was awesome as well.
