Numark Total Control USB Midi DJ controller

[FedraDj]

NUMARK Total Control MKII is compatible with window 7?

[MxSmAlex]

how can I configure the light... beacause the lights do not light

[JDMstunner]

@MxSmAlex Mine doesn't work either?

[sukMYCOXFORLUcK]

its 70$ thats cheap 

[toddeppley]

Good on you. using MADNESS for your demo.

[valewaytechnology]

Yes, works perfectly on Virutal DJ / Numark CUE.

[djchiller111]

can you put this controler on virtual dj??

[geofferzh79]

@djchiller111 yep

[CONNORBEE3]

What P.A Equiptment do you have?

[valewaytechnology]

@CONNORBEE3 Depends on what the gig is. At the moment McGregor Amplication powered cabs, Mytek series.

[AceofTragedy]

does it work for the free virtual dj?



[valewaytechnology]

@AceofTragedy I have the full version not free - but I understand the free version doesn't work with ANY controller.

[AceofTragedy]

@valewaytechnology im also looking to buy one online that has VIRTUAL DJ 3 DJC Edition included.

will that work?

[valewaytechnology]

@AceofTragedy Good luck finding one. This controller was discontinued in January 2011.

[valewaytechnology]

Total Control was designed to work with a separate sound card. This controller is discontinued in any case. Numark have several models replacing it, some models have sound cards built in.

[shawz31]

so this has no input for headphones? how are u able to hear whats on the opposite deck then!?

[Skateforsatan6]

Do you plug a ipod in it? I'm begginer is this good

[valewaytechnology]

@Skateforsatan6 No, you can't plug an ipod into it. Look for the Numark IDJ3 controller, that one has an ipod dock.

[DjGordo714]

What software are you using ?

[valewaytechnology]

@DjGordo714 PCDJ Red Mobile version 1.1 - replaced by Red Mobile 2.0 as of July 2011

[101lildavid]

Can you plug headphones into this

[valewaytechnology]

@101lildavid No. This controller is discontinued by the way.

[zwerxHD]

Is this a good controller to help a mixer make dubstep?

[GieraryHirr]

@zwerxHD yes, im doing dubstep mixes all the time with this controller

[Rave4life200]

why arnt the wheels on mine red and blue around the edge??

[valewaytechnology]

@Rave4life200 No idea, must be from a different batch where Numark changed the styling. Ask Numark!

[b3n1t1991]

@Rave4life200 you got the traktor cover not the CUE cover on it.

[RudyGotSUS]

MADNESS! Oi!

[PatrickTheMan69]

they still sell total control

[valewaytechnology]

@PatrickTheMan69 Officially discontinued by Numark December 2010. Some dealers may have stocks but once they sell through that's it. Shame really, I liked the Total Control.

[PatrickTheMan69]

@valewaytechnology oh ok bugger

[TheBassHeavy]

Thanks for this video! Very helpful!

[Gerrieboy11]

where does the sound come out? are there boxes inside the mixer or does it come out your PC?

[valewaytechnology]

@Gerrieboy11 Separate USB sound card. This controller is discontinued, Numark have released the Mixtrack Pro which does have a built in sound card. Video of that controller will follow soon.

[Gerrieboy11]

@valewaytechnology so the music comes out my computer? it wasn't a clear answer what you gave me

[valewaytechnology]

@Gerrieboy11 Separate USB sound card. This controller is discontinued, Numark have released the Mixtrack Pro which does have a built in sound card. Video of that controller will follow soon.

[valewaytechnology]

@Gerrieboy11 The sound comes from a separate USB sound device which is plugged into the computer at the same time as the Total Control. So two USB items - the Total Control and the USB sound card. That's why Numark have discontinued the Total Control, the replacement models have the USB sound card built into the controller, so there's only one USB cable involved. On the new model - called the MixTrack Pro - the sound does come out of the controller directly.

[badtcat]

what is that under his laptop

[TheMrDaftMau5]

Hey what would you recommend for a begginer Dj, the Numark Total Control or The Numark Mixtrack?

[valewaytechnology]

@TheMrDaftMau5 Hi - it will have to be the Mixtrack as the Total Control is now discontinued. The Mixtrack has replaced it.

[branden5]

NOTHING BEATS THE NUMARK MIXTRACK PRO =D ITS BEAST FOR A PORTABLE DJ

[valewaytechnology]

@branden5 Agreed, the Total Control is discontinued and replaced by the Mixtrack models. New video on the Mixtrack and others coming soon.

[branden5]

@valewaytechnology  I HAD OWN THIS MIDI CONTROL. HELP ME SO MUCH. =D GOOD REVIEW MAN.

[TheBSideDJ]

i bought this numark total control and the soundcard numark i/0, it works on traktor LE BUT not with traktor PRO.... I downloaded the recent drivers from the Numark site and tsi files, and installed in traktor Pro, but still no results (Yes, i selected the midi settings, Yes, i selected internal mixer,...) I tried everything. My computer is running on windows 7.... is the soundcard and controller to old to run on windows 7 ? Please any helpfull reply is welcome !!! tanx

[djshades69]

I'm having a problem with mine, its not letting me scratch, its like on "pitch" instead of scratch..how do i get it back to scratch? I'm using virtual DJ pro..u was able to scratch fine before but someone messed it up..help please!

[valewaytechnology]

@djshades69 Hi. This is the PCDJ channel, not Virtual DJ channel. Respectfully suggest you log onto the virtualdj forum and ask there. It will be a setting in Virutal DJ which needs changing.

[AyminnrDj]

@djshades69 Press the button below your browserknob

[Apexyy]

I ONLY HAVE ONE SKIN ON MINE, BUT U CAN TAKE IT OF AND TURN IT AROUND AND ITS WHITE ON THE OTHER SIDE

[elborrego314]

its good that product ? you can play one song and hear the other song to the same time ?

[valewaytechnology]

@elborrego314 Only if you have a twin channel sound card as well, for example the Numark DJiO, Maya 44, Gigaport and so on.

[lnbabz]

whats the diffrent between this and the Omni Control? :-)

[valewaytechnology]

@lnbabz The Total Control is now discontinued, replaced by the Numark Mixtrack. Difference with the Omni is that it has a sound card built in as well.

[curtiscurt]

@Splurgeyourheadoff yes if you want to cue up your mix mic input and better sound

[Gtrudenxz]

Do you need the Dj/io ?

[valewaytechnology]

@Gtrudenxz Yeah, if you want proper twin channel sound you do.

[Gtrudenxz]

@valewaytechnology I got Behringer BCD3000 ;D but i cant hook it up to VDJ PRO

[GriffinPeloso91]

very helpful!

[valewaytechnology]

@Splurgeyourheadoff Does nobody read the past comments ? Answered this one already multiple times ... you need a twin channel ASIO sound card, the DJiO is an example of one. You could also use a Gigaport, Maya 44, M-Audio Delta etc etc.

The Total Control is just a controller - no sound output or input.

Therefore you need a separate sound card.

There are other more expensive controllers which have a sound card built in but there's nothing wrong with using a separate card.

[BocanegraAlX]

So i have a normal laptop, is that okay? do i need a certain sound card? do i need a certain kid of mixer? can i get some specific names of the items i need?

[woahjustintime]

can't I just plug this right into a computer without a mixer?

[valewaytechnology]

@woahjustintime ... no ... you still need a sound card and mixer. The mixer faders on the controller just control your mixer in software. You still need a way to mix other audio sources and your microphone audio - easiesst way is via a conventional mixer.

[pphatmat]

@woahjustintime yes i do it that way

[xxdjcharlierockxx]

how much does this thing cost new/used? looks pretty cool..

[valewaytechnology]

@xxdjcharlierockxx £99 new

[xxdjcharlierockxx]

@valewaytechnology whats that uro's?

[xxdjcharlierockxx]

@valewaytechnology this guy wants 175.00 us. think it's worth it? has all original cd's plus headphones

[TheDJfarQ]

So, if I was to buy this, (and I already own a laptop), I wouldn't need any additional software such as mixers and shit to be able to DJ? Or do you need something other than the total control thing to be able to DJ?

[valewaytechnology]

@TheDJfarQ You would also need a twin channel sound card and appropriate DJ software. Apart from that, just a normal mixer, amp, speakers etc.

[TheDJfarQ]

@valewaytechnology So, what would I be looking at? I mean I have a laptop, speakers, headphones, and then this thing?

[TheDJfarQ]

@valewaytechnology So, what would I be looking at? I mean I have a laptop, speakers, headphones, and then this thing? I mean like how much will the rest cost me?

[guifm]

can any one please help me? Im already panicking with my numark total control because the left deck is acting crazy with both Virtual Dj and Traktor Scratch Pro. Cue, Set Cue, Play, Bass Kill, and loop out of the left deck are acting crazy.

[valewaytechnology]

@guifm Change your USB cable for a new one. Try a different USB port. If that doesn't help it's likely you've got a faulty controller. (That's rare though, we've sold over 400 and only had one faulty unit.)

[johan0wns2]

How much does it cost?

[William5394]

what is the voltage for the power supply and wattage, ah oh well I'll just check for it in the book or something..

[valewaytechnology]

@William5394 You shouldn't need a power supply. Numark don't supply one any more for that reason.

[cdubvdub]

no sounds comes thru my headphones......

[valewaytechnology]

@cdubvdub And you're using what software ? What sound card ? Dude give me a clue here!

[cdubvdub]

@valewaytechnology lol i dont think i have one unless its built into my mac. i have traktor le . my headphone input it broken but works when i have something plugged into it but when i plug into my djio still doesnt work sound just come thru the speakers. im brand new to this stuff.

[valewaytechnology]

@cdubvdub You have a DJiO sound card ? Then configure Traktor to use the DJiO for output.

[KyeMFC]

I watched your video before making the decision to buy this, I did end up choosing it over the hercules controller, I was wondering if it is possible to use the Numark Stereo iO USB Sound Card with the controller to allow me to use my headphones. Thanks.

[valewaytechnology]

@KyeMFC Yes, it is.

[y0umug]

do you need the DJIO to hear the unused deck when the fader is at the other deck??

[valewaytechnology]

@y0umug Yes, or any sound card which can deliver two sound channels. The DJiO is a good choice though.

[y0umug]

@valewaytechnology do you need the DJIO to hear the unused deck through the headphones when the fader is at the deck being used??

[DjAleksandarZ]

What about headphones ... how conect it ???

[valewaytechnology]

@DjAleksandarZ This is a controller, not a sound device. You don't connect headphones to it! Sound goes via a separate sound card to your normal mixer, or plug headphones into your sound card. The Numark DJiO sound card allows this.

[DjAleksandarZ]

@valewaytechnology

thanks for the reply

[enjoi679]

so does this come with virtual dj any more or u have to get the software

[valewaytechnology]

@enjoi679 It never came with Virtual DJ in the first place. Numark have included a very cut down version of CUE or Traktor in the past but functionality in those LE versions is very limited.

If you're buying the controller it's because you're serious about DJ-ing properly, so don't skimp on the software. Get a full verision of whatever program you prefer.

[gangstarharv]

how can you set it up with vdj (virtual DJ) ?? thanks

[valewaytechnology]

@gangstarharv Go into the controller setup in VDJ, select it ... you're good to go.

[gangstarharv]

@valewaytechnology ahaa they sent me a faulty one but i sent it back and they gave me a nother one :) gr8 vid though :)

[boxesofstuff]

Can someone please tell me if Total Control can work with Windows 7?

[bmxaaa123]

Can Somebody Please Tell me if it can be used with windows 7?

[valewaytechnology]

@bmxaaa123 Yes, works fine on Windows 7. Price has just dropped to £99 too ...

[VxXGHOSTXxV]

i got the total control but it did not come with that software, where can i get it?

[valewaytechnology]

@VxXGHOSTXxV Hi - I assume you mean the PCDJ Red Mobile software I was using in the demo?

It's PCDJ RED MOBILE, check my other videos as I have a video demo of it. Download a fully working demo from the PCDJ website.

[Tobletone27]

@VxXGHOSTXxV Software is REALLY expensive, because of this, almost everyone downloads copies for free, illegally

[VxXGHOSTXxV]

how can i record my mixing/scratching and wat software can i get for free

[FMIF1028]

so this will work with VIRTUAL DJ ?

[wastegash1000]

what software are you using?

[valewaytechnology]

@wastegash1000 Using PCDJ Red Mobile

[namonmode]

Can you make your own beats on this board? or only mixes? Cuz i really wanna make my own beats and Mix too....lemme kno thanks

[valewaytechnology]

@namonmode Depends on the software you're running. The controller is just that - a controller - it's down to the software after that.

[Heltz21]

@namonmode If you want to try and make your own beats i would highley sugest FL Studio 9, Garage Band, and MixCraft 5

[adribe01]

does it work with itunes:O?

[valewaytechnology]

@adribe01 No, it only works with real DJ software. Which iTunes isn't.

[melbshuflers]

@valewaytechnology what about Virtutal Dj?

[valewaytechnology]

@melbshuflers Works great with Virtual DJ

[JackinTheWoods]

This is an excellent video, unlike most of the crap I have found on here. You have great camera work and wonderful explanations. Thank you for not having an intro track and bass beats throughout and shakey cam effect to nonsense like that.

[valewaytechnology]

@JackinTheWoods Ha, thanks! Your comment made my day - PaulM

[1995bcfc]

this might be a stupid question but if its connected to my pc, will i be able to get the sound from it, out of my pc? x

[valewaytechnology]

@1995bcfc No, it doesn't have a sound card built in. Use a separate sound card such as Maya 44 USB, Numark DJiO usb etc.

[mastachiefs49]

Hey mate.. do you know if this can control Live?

[valewaytechnology]

@mastachiefs49 Abelton Live? Yes, it will. In the MIDI sync part of the preferences, have remote on where it says track, sync, and remote.

[flyingpoo]

can i just use this as a controller with my laptop? or do i need to get a mixer or anthing like that?

[valewaytechnology]

@flyingpoo This device is a controller, it doesn't have a sound card built in. For best results use an external sound card like the Numark DJiO or Maya 44. You can then take the audio output into a mixer as normal or direct to a PA system. Note if you want MIC voiceover then you have to use a mixer OR the DJiO soundcard, as it has a MIC input on the card where the Maya does not.

In short you can do it both ways. You'll still need the external sound card and the Numark DJiO is the best option.

[Doublelawe]

@flyingpoo u can just use it with your laptop, the total control is a mixer

[Zatoichiswordman]

what dj program did you use with it, im still trying to make it work

[valewaytechnology]

@Zatoichiswordman Using PCDJ Red Mobile and PCDJ Dex, works great.

[javiixJ]

Wow!!

you're awesome!!!

thats the kind of videos i love to watch!! u really helped me a lOt!!

definetly a subscriber...

[driver189]

does this work with virtual dj basic, cuz i want to buy it but not sure

[valewaytechnology]

@driver189 I have VDJ 5.2 here, works perfectly

[driver189]

does this work with virtual dj basic, cuz i want to buy it but not sure

[TURBODATS2K]

r8 it 1 - 10

[NewYorkDontLoveMe]

is this contr0ller compatiable with virtual dj or djay for mac? please help, i really want one

[valewaytechnology]

Fully compatible with Virtual DJ versions 5 and upwards.

[valewaytechnology]

Look, this is easy ... if you want to do things PROPERLY then buy a sound card with native ASIO drivers. Yes ASIO4ALL works but you're still using a budget sound chip to play back with. The native cards have higher quality output circuitry.

Nickhansen - this unit isn't "tiny" or "crap". We wouldn't be selling hundreds of them if it was. It is very portable though as it fits into most laptop carry bags. The Behringer gear isn't anywhere near as popular, sorry buddy but that's how it is.

[M4dBaller]

What?! The volume sliders are perfectly usual for a midi dj controller like this. I don't think this guy's a great source of information.

[TehUone]

Easy fix for you Noobs to laptop mixing.

Save yourselves money. Download ASIO4ALL. ASIO4ALL is a driver that allows you to take both of your sound out ports on a laptop, as long as you have 2 OUT plugs, and it let's you route them in Traktor for one to be MASTER out and one to be your Monitor/Booth (i.e. Cue in Headphones).

Tip: Spend the $100 on some better headphones.

[Nickhansen1992]

This controller is absolutely crap for a beginner, for several reasons, one you have to buy a soundcard with it like the numark DJ i/o which is an extra $100 or so, and this unit is tiny anyway. My recomendation would be the BCD3000 from behringer. This unit includes a sound card and is far closer to an original mixer, it also allows turntables or cdjs to be plugged in to allow it to become a 4 deck mixer. BCD3000 is a far better investment for new DJays

[valewaytechnology]

No you can't connect headphones. This is just a controller, not a sound device. The mixer controls just control the on-screen mixer.

No firmware updates needed. Plug in, tell your DJ software you have a Numark Total Control (should be on a menu) and it will work. No drivers needed.

If it still doesn't work contact Numark technical support or the dealer you bought it from.

[r0b213]

@valewaytechnology wait? it says right on the information that it has a headphone jack?

[valewaytechnology]

This is a controller not a sound device, so no headphone jack. In the video I'm using a separate sound card for output.

[valewaytechnology]

This is a controller not a sound device, so no headphone jack. In the video I'm using a separate sound card for output.

[chrisppv1]

Can you connect your headphones on it?

[valewaytechnology]

No, there isn't a headphone socket. This is a contoller, not a sound device.

[truutopia]

Mines dont work. Can you please tell me how i can get the software or firmware that i need. please email me. when i plug it up the controller dont come on...Pleas Email me.

[DUBDUECE05]

but it doing somethin now gigaty

[DUBDUECE05]
