Mixtrack is a powerhouse controller in a compact chassis for performing and producing with DJ software. The familiar layout works just like two decks and a mixer so whether you're a seasoned professional or building your DJ skills, Mixtrack is easy to learn and handles advanced techniques. It's portable so you can grab Mixtrack and your laptop and go to wherever the gig is. 

Mixtrack has two deck controller sections with large touch-activated jog wheels and transports controls. Whether you're used to a CD player, turntables, or any other traditional DJ hardware, you'll find getting around easy. The center of Mixtrack’s surface is its mixer section with a smooth crossfader, line faders, deck EQs, and more advanced controls for looping and effects. 

Mixtrack comes with the powerful DJ software which makes it easy to mix your favorite music. Both applications integrate with your iTunes library for playback and mixing of songs. Regardless of which software it comes with, Mixtrack lets you create professional sounding mixes at home or at live performances at parties, functions and clubs. Full MIDI compliance means Mixtrack will also work with virtually any MIDI-mappable music software. Mixtrack connects to your Mac or PC as a class-compliant USB device so it requires no software drivers to work, and USB powers it so you won't need an external supply.

Numark Mixtrack DJ Software Controller - User review

The Numark Mixtrack is definently what it says it is. It's a responsive, light, compact controller with some pretty amazing effects. I bought this to be able to DJ shows without having to carry 3 crates of records and turntables with me. While the two decks do act as turntables, the scratch sounds very computerized and the response is off. You have to watch your PC screen to keep track of where you're at in the cut. It is very light, very portable, and pretty responsive. It is plastic, so if you want the professional feel, you won't get it. If you want portable, this is for you. A couple of issues... 

You'll need a separate soundcard to be able to monitor your cue. This is in the price range of about $90+. And the version of Traktor that comes with it is the light edition which is very basic. The pitch is only +/-8%. I was hoping to be able to make that much more but in the light edition of Traktor that's all thats available. You'll have to upgrade to pro. All in all, this is most definitly worth $150. Just don't expect for it to change your DJ game. If you're looking into getting into DJing, I would suggest just getting PCDJ or another program that you can use a keyboard as the controller. Its easier to control at first and you'll see if you have the ear to mix. If you're looking to go portable, match this with a external soundcard and you, sir, are set.

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!
