I wanted to write a review on my new controller, The Numark Mixtrack Pro. It retails at around $250 and if you go to guitar center the nice folks there will price match you to an online store so you can usually get it around $230 with tax and what not. Weighs in at about 4-5 pounds which is pretty light. It's constructed of mostly plastic which gives it a slightly cheap feel, but Numark really pulled it off with the turntables. They have a really smooth spin, with an extremely sensitive pad. They work really well for scratching. The sound mixer is pretty standard, its got all the features needed for a person who is just learning and can easily handle some house parties, or even a club. The difference between the standard Mixtrack and the Mixtrack Pro is the audio out capabilities. The pro version includes a headphone port on the front along with two RCA ports on the back. This is perfect for hooking up to a professional grade PA system or even just a home theater system. Whereas the Standard Mixtrack has only the headphone out jack which unless your a fan of only playing with yourself just wont cut it. The price difference is only about $20 bucks with your price match. Trust me, you'll wanna spring for the more expensive one, It is well worth it as if you decide to upgrade later your audio add-on is gonna cost you at least a whopping $50. That $20 difference sounds pretty good now doesn't it. the controller itself will hook up to your computer via USB. Comes standard with a limited version of the Virtual DJ software, the software works very well with the system and transfers pretty seamlessly from controller to screen. I think that about covers it for a general overview. If you have any questions feel free to comment, I will answer in a timely manner. I look forward to reviewing some more equipment and even giving you guys a few tutorials in the near future.
