Recording Studio Equipment

The Numark OmniControl is a fairly good piece of kit for beginning bedroom dj’s or anyone looking for a simple tool to do some basic mixes for a house party. Its of very solid build and has a good feel to all the moving parts. The built in sound cards actually perform quite well, and I’ve gotten great sound quality on everything I’ve hooked it up to. From surround sound systems to the hi-fi to a set of studio monitors. High volumes are a little iffy when hooked to my larger Cerwin Vega pa system, but its barely noticeable even then.
A great intro piece for an aspiring dj, or a cool little mixer to sit next to your desk/laptop. For a small party I can have everything I need to mix in just a messenger bag. My only complaint is that while it functions great with Traktor LE,(which it comes with) it has some mapping problems in Traktor pro. Effects dials and buttons don’t do what they are supposed to without some mapping. Its frustrating to not have my reverb come on when I hit the button to activate it. But all in all for the price, you can’t go wrong.
I would recommend this for starting djs to see if they actually like djing without investing 1k+ on pro level gear. To the mobile DJ that wants to supplement the gear already owned with a midi controller. Or to the bedroom or pro dj who wants a small functional midi controller that has great portability.

Yep, this is a fun product. Right price, for the right hardware. I’m not a pro, but I do like to mix music. The feeling of having a crowd pleased, dancing, and watching people bob their head at the tracks I play is a good feeling, in fact is a feeling like no other. I think DJs have the best job in the world. But like I said, I’m not a pro, so this is the closest I can get to the pro feeling, not too complicated, but not a toy. Software that comes with it is a bit lagging. I had to upgrade to the latest version of Traktor to get that pro feeling going, (oh yeah, it it was not easy to configure the MIDI to get to work correctly, eventually I got it done) and that’s the only reason why I won’t give it 5 stars. I think that it should come with more capable software for recording and mixing your tracks, ready out-of-the box.

Looks great too, I’ve taken this thing to a few parties, along with my laptop and I plug right into their sound system, it looks like a real DJ setup. It is heavy duty, sturdy, sound quality is great. This is actually an upgrade for me, I had the MK2 which was more of a toy that I quickly outgrew. This one is just right, price and quality are great.

Got this product and use it right away and very happy with it. Very clear and blends the music well.

Always wanted to be out of the ordinary? Want to try something new and interesting? Why now become your own DJ and learn the skills and talents to mix music into something of your own. This includes a microphone input with tone and level control, line inputs for other devices on both channels, and a 3′-band EQ with gain control on both channels. What a deal, with this nifty mixer, you could become the life of and the entertainment of the party.

I didn’t hesitate purchasing the Numark Mixtrack. After coming across
the link on accident looking at other DJ products. I went to the Numark
website and read more about this Dj Controller. I then went to Youtube
and watched a couple videos on it. I then came here to Amazon to purchase
it the same day after finding out about it.

I’ve used a lot of Dj controllers before. At Parties, Clubs, Weddings ect.
I always found the more expensive controllers to have the best features. But
with the Mixtrack….I am proven wrong. This controller ranks up there with the
best in my opinion. When I compare this to great controllers like The VCI-300,
The NS7, The Mixdeck, ect. You with this Dj controller can’t go wrong. You’re
getting a $150.00 Dj controller with all the features Dj’s look for, at an affordable
price! With this you’re getting a more real time djing feel. You’re getting
nice Dj platters/jogwheels, effects, editing tools and a good program. This is
a perfect tool to have on those days you dj a gig. But don’t want to bring your
regular djing equipment. Also if your a beginner looking to learn the art of
being a Disk Jockey. This is the right product to learn on.

With this controller, you would need to get an audio sound card. To be able to
hear what your doing with headphones. Native Instruments the same company that
makes the included Traktor program. Has a sound card called the Audio2Dj and Numark
has the DjIo Sound card. There are other sound cards available also. The Mixtrack is
premapped for use with all Traktor djing programs (Traktor Cue and Traktor Pro) and other
approved djing software and hardware. Bottomline is this thing is made to perform and
can hold it’s own with the big boys. Numark has really outdone themselves with the
Mixtrack, and with the success of the NS7, V7, and Mixdeck. Numark can go ahead
and add this to the list of accomplishments.

Intermediate and Advanced Dj’s can get enjoyment out of this product. Speaking as a Dj myself,
using this has not made me miss hot days in the garage mixing it up on my acoustic djing equipment.
Now I got something I can use and take with me on the go and use anytime. Not to say this is going
to make me stop using my SL1200’s and DJM 600. But now I got another option till I get my Numark
Mixdeck. Numark has also came out with the IDJ3 which is a similar controller. But it has an Ipod
dock, and has a built in headphone jack and mic output. The IDJ3 cost $300 but has all of the same
great features as the Mixtrack. So to end this, I recommend the Numark Mixtrack to everyone that
wants to either learn, entertain ect. A very great Dj Midi Controller for an even more amazing price!

This product does exactly what it says it does. It creates a second output channel to monitor cue tracks in various DJ and music production software. By allowing you to route directly to headphones, you can preview what will be played next before sliding the cross fader over. Set up is simple and can be done in minutes (very intuitive even for novice DJ’s and musicians). Directly connect to your monitors/speakers through the back, headphones go in the front, USB to the computer, run the software and you’re ready to rock!

I had no problem using this device with Ableton Live 7, Traktor Pro or Virtual DJ 3. I am running a Gateway laptop with Windows Vista. Other reviewers who have had difficulties with this unit either had out of date drivers for the hardware and/or software or were using hacked warez versions that make USB support difficult and sketchy.

I recommend getting a USB MIDI mixer to use with your software of choice to truly take advantage of this interface.

Not sure what the problem was with the guy who said this soundcard doesn’t work with Virtual DJ. I use it for gigs and they work perfectly. Granted I am a computer professional and you do have to set the latency to accomodate your laptop (if it’s slow, increase the latency). I have a super fast laptop penryn Core 2 processor Ocd to 2.59GHZ with 6MB of L2 cache 4Gigs of PC5300 SoDimm RAM and a 500gig HD. Yes I put this monster together go to [...]

Virtual DJ works great, so does Deckadance, you name it. I’ve had soundcards from MOTU, Indigo, Creative, all great but the simplicity and small form factor (except the Indigo DJx PCI Express – that thing is almost too small but also sounds amazing) and the fact that it has RCA outs configurable for your mains (2 virtual turntables if you want to pipe them out to an external mixer – you name it) and 1/4in outs for your headphones and 1/4in in for a mic. This thing rocks!!

the cd player mixer system works greater than i expected. dealing through amazon and it’s costumers i get great responses and delivery.

This is actually just as nice as the CD Mix 2 we have. We bought this as the backup to it and having it with us at gigs really gives us a lot of security knowing that if the main one goes down, this one is good to go. I would definitely suggest this as a backup or even as the primary mixer for a DJ just starting out and working.

I bought the total control for my child because he is seriously into music. I get my package only to find out the total control was all scratched up. I did not order a used one, I ordered a new one. I did not know new packages come scratched up these days.
