0:00 This is my first video on the Newmark NV and I am very impressed

Alright guys, this is my first video on the Newmark NV and I am very impressed. I love the look of it. Also, the best feature of all is the screens here. You no longer have to gawp at the laptop. You can close the laptop up and you can just concentrate on the screens. But of course, all right, I'll move back a little bit. You can concentrate more on the crowd, which is what you should be doing. Right, so the overview. Again, you know, I mean, what more do you need? Look at that. Perfect. Absolutely perfect. Love it. Cue it up. Comes with Serato DJ. So we've got the option for decks. We can... Range, pitch range, so you'll see here plus minus 58, 16 and so on. Tap in time with the track. Load, you go back, you can select here. So pretty much all the controls you would expect to have on your laptop are there. Again, if we go to this view here, we can see as we move, for example, the LPF low-pass filter.

1:21 I'm scratching the surface, really am scratching the surface

We've got an icon there showing us how much we're engaging that filter, same with delay there, reverb. I mean, I'm really, I'm just honestly at the moment with this video, let's take the camera off the stand. I'm scratching the surface, really am scratching the surface. But now that is really responsive. I am very impressed. You know sometimes you press a button and you've got that... Fraction of a second delay. For a lot of people, it doesn't matter, but for some DJs who have to snap it, and when I mean snap it in time, you've got to snap it in time. This snaps it in time, big time. So, very pleased with that. Random ones. Okay. Again, the main feature with the Newmark Envy are the screens. Now...

If you are a PC DJ and you love looking at your laptop, close it up and now you've got a couple of screens that give you all the information you need. Without having to gawp at that, because you need to spend more time looking at the crowd. I think what Newmark have done, they've looked and thought, well you know what? Let's get DJs looking at the crowd instead of a laptop. How can we do it? We can do it with the NV. Video one on this, very simple, lots more to come. Check this out at the BPM show this year, NEC. Stand... A84. I will be there. Alright, thank you very much. Practice and enjoy. Loving it.
