  • Hey Andre;Very helpful video thanks a lot.I am a good music listener but bored of listening to someone else so wanted to create my own remix'.I will buy this deck next week but still confused if its too professional for me.What would you say?

  • @orcorc31 Hey, This is an all in one system that covers a lot of people, from beginners, to mobile DJs and bedroom DJs. Its stable and has a good reputation, so is a good option to introduce yourself to DJing, without spending a lot of money... But you can probably get something even cheaper if you don't need the CD drives and simply want to control some DJ software also...

  • Hey there Andre i just bought this mixdeck,,i'm not a dj or anything like that just biought it cuzz i want to have some fun in my free time but i got alittle upset when i try to hook it up in my PC...i use virtual Dj...and it came with it..but I can't really scratch from the mix deck to the computer like I seen in other mixers...so please what do i need to do to be able to fully control the mixdeck from my pc.???

  • @2009PLP Hey, there should be a setup disc that came with your Mixdeck, you need to go to the settings and tell the software that you are using Mixdeck to control it, and probably even go to the VDJ website and find a mapping file to ensure all your controls a properly mapped. It won't simply work straight of the box, but will work, so maybe ask on the VDJ website for some help from other users as this is your best bet to get it going with your software. email me any Q's - andre@12am.com.au

  • @andrecato I tried e-mailing you but i think you gave me the wrong e-mail....so here is my msg......I tried everthing i needed to doo but nothing seems to be workinggg it be nice if you could make a quick tutorial...

    because i'm about to give upp :( I followed all the stepsss but nothing works :(

  • @2009PLP Hey mate, my email is correct! Umm, no, I don't have this Mixdeck anymore, so can't do a tutorial, sorry. If you give up, well that is up to you, sorry mate, I will try and help if I can, but I am not a shop, I am not Numark, I am just one person so maybe try emailling Numark and tell them you have tried everything and you are about to return it!!!!

  • Hey Andre, I really enjoyed your video. I don't have any experience in DJing or a lot of the equipment associated with it. I would like to try mixing and DJing as a hobby. So would you recommend this mixdeck for a first timer like myself?

  • @dazzme Hey mate, as a first timer if money is no issue, then this could make a good starting point for you, but then again, in today's world, so could an iPhone application! There is no right or wrong answer to your question above, it all depends on the person, what attracts them to gear and what they want out of it. Feel free to email me at andre@12am.com.au if you want to talk through what you are thinking of doing with your djing and happy to recommend whats available in ya budget!

  • Wow..I think I just found my next Console. Using Hercules RMX right now and it's great, will keep it for it's portability, but I really like the all in one functionality of this deck! Thanks for that, mix at the end was really on point.

  • @andrecato.

    you said maybe one of the leads.

    you mean in the actual machine or one that comes with it.

    please send me a comment to help set it up so it works. cheers :)

  • You have the same what? Mixdeck? Watch the video, it should help you! If you need help, send me an email or write me a message, happy to help.

  • i have the same one but i dnt get how to use it

  • @DJCachazo1 Yeah, totally, either wait for NI to include it in the pre-setup list or add your own TSI file that you can download from one of many sites around the world, like Traktor Bible, DJ Tech Tools etc...

  • will this be compatable with virtual dj?

  • @shaz0121 Yup, just ensure you have the latest versions and firmware updates.

  • Just bought this exact unit and do not understand the 123 loop in loop out record functionality. Unityofyouth@gmail.com is my email if you dont mind any advice you have for someone starting out would be really cool. When mixing your own music do you often run a drum track ect through the left and mess around over it on the right. Just any input would be appriciated.

  • Hey Andre, my mixdeck is offically dead. Every time i put up my left fader it knocks out signal from the left channel. And if i even touch the right volume deck fader, it loses signal from left, right or even both. and i have to hold constant pressure to keep it working.

  • @OfficialDJZeroWolf SHITE, take it back mate!

  • does this work with virtual dj?

  • @oinkcow101 Yup, just ensure you have the latest versions and firmware updates

  • help me andre, i bought a numark mixdeck in used condition and try to plug in my monitors using the RCA cable (with the red/ white) into the mixdeck master and no sound comes out.what should i do? i also tried to plug it in the booth and nothing comes out.i already put the volume on the booth and master at high gain.

  • @aceman42 Hmmmm, sounds like you know what you are doing.... I don't know why its not working though, hard to tell from your message. Is it under warranty?

  • @andrecato andre, i'LL send you a private message with my video of it.

  • @aceman42 set the decks fot master, the cue for deck 1/2, and your'e done

  • Hello, im about to buy my first controller, do you think mixdeck is the best option? i have never had one, i just mix with traktor on the pc :o

  • @Metallic1892 No, not the best option, there are LOTS of options, its a good option if you like it, you need to choose one you like and go with that, depending on price, usage and software you wanna use. Feel free to ask about any controllers, maybe let me know what you like and what your options are in price range.

  • @andrecato hey andre just wondering my son just a brand new mixdeck and he said that the crossfader is not working at all. like when he tries to go from one deck to the other he has to use the cf mode and the cf slope button.

    he has tried every website and he cant find anything hopefully you can help on this..

    thankyou..

  • andrecato. hi...i got my mixdeck for christmas and when i started to have a bit of fun with it the crossfade did not work at all.?i have tried all websites.

    i now have to use the crossfader mode.and crossfader slopes..

    please help me with this issue. its really annoying.

    thankyou.

  • @themooseey Hey guys, just want to clarify... Your crossfader stopped working at all, but you can mix from one channel to another by using the crossfader slope control to do mix from one to another? If the crossfader is broken, you will certainly feel it, but could also be a lead not connected properly in the unit if it is the unit. Have you/your son DJ'd before owning this unit? If not, send me an email and I will help explain how to set it up. Merry Christmas!

  • Sahweet bro!will pop you an email when i get home,thanks heaps bud!

  • Sir....

    i also have the progrmme "TRAKTOR" but when i'm mixing it seems to FREEZE,It came with the decks,Would there be any reason why??

  • @nativesamari There could be many reasons! I need more info... What version of Traktor? What kind of computer? Have you updated all your firmware and software to ensure everything you are using is up to date and current? Email me at andre@12am.com.au and we can chat through it mate, I am sure we can sort this for you :)

  • hey man, just wondering which pc software you used for this?? or is there 1 you would recommend that'd be compatiable with the numark?? cheers.

  • @thomasdean92 Hey mate, no, I use Mac only for my music, any PC users out there can suggest something for Thomasdean? I am guessing any of the same we use on Mac, so Traktor Pro 2, Virtual Vinyl or maybe Mixvibes

  • Does it work with Fl studio?

  • awesome brother will check it out.Thank you:)

  • hey.!

    i want to know how i can put samples like party horn or others in my Dj Intro Serato..??

  • Do you need an amplefier for this???

  • can you save cue points?

  • @lilrb79 the mixdeck is great enough for parties i personally have it i love it and its worth the money ... one usb wont load two decks its one usb driver per deck.

  • Hey... how are u doing!?

    This was one of motivation video to buy my MixDeck, but I don't know why, the mine isn't working fine... the scratch function isn't working, I updated the firmware (0.39), and nothing! I'm from Brazil and don't know what can I do! :-(

    Tks in advance,

  • seems great!.. comparing to pioneers the product is lower in price. what i am asking is if the weight is lighter than the other becasue according to the review you grabed and lifted the vehicle extremly easily. and one thing more; i need your recommendation, i have been considering buying a pair of cdj 900s and a djm 600 mixer, would the device replace them? cheers from turkey mate, g'day=)

  • Is this mixdeck good enough for parties?

  • can this play burned cds?

  • yeah im going to have this product before christmas yes for sure well @paisanos i think you´re wrong because if you want to play lets say in a friend party and you dont have a laptop wath would you do in that case keep that in mind bro,and use a laptop is for noobs because if you practice only with your ears that would be a better option thats for sure if you do that you will improve your skills at mixing well blessing bro and thank you andrecato this video help me a lot for make a choisse

  • @rapswing Hmm, not sure I agree with this, but EVERYONE is entitled to their own opinion. Some of the worlds biggest DJs use digital systems that run off software. It opens the doors to a whole new world, sure you don't need to learn how to DJ like we used to in the 90's, but Digital DJs can do so much more, You can spend your time telling your story through loops, effects, layering, ensuring you can put in samples when suits your story! DJing is about performance, so whatever works for you!

  • hello man i have a question about the numark mixdeck, its possible to play music without sound card?? its possible just put the headphones and connect speakers and it will work?? or i need a sound card please,cause i dont ave computer or a laptop please help me with this stuff sorry for my english, im a latinoamerican person.

  • @rapswing Hey there mate. It does indeed work without a computer, it works however you want it to work, either CDs or hard drive with your music on it, or you can use it as a control surface for DJ software... You can simply plug in headphones and speakers and take to a party or practise at home!

  • awesome mixdeck!!

  • I love this product but i just wanted to know, if i put in 1 usb in 1 deck will on the songs on that usb activate to both of the decks?

  • do u hav to use a apple computer

  • @andrecato

    Great demonstration !!

    I have a question... Can I add a couple of ndx800 to the mixdeck?

  • would u go with the ns6 or mixdeck?? im a mobile dj but im not sure what to buy ...

  • @paisanos I would go with NS6 for sure. Digital is the future... If you have a laptop that works and you can trust, then it is a WAY better and more professional option.

  • i just wanted to know that i have the numark mixdeck and still having problem with the fader on it. It doesnt crossfade when your using it on the computer.. what im i doing wrong here..plz help.. maybe im hooking it up wrong..thx

    create a video if you can..

  • For someone who is just starting out, looking to do small college parties and such, is this a good system price wise? Seems like a good system for a beginner to navigate, but with a lot of features for more skilled users.

  • @WhiteStripes13 This is certainly a good device for someone wanting a bit of everything, I would not recommend to users wanting to play clubs, as there is simply not the right feature set on this, but for someone who wants to play a bit of all media + record etc, its a great device for this price.

  • i'm beginer dj, and i have a question. Im thinking of buying the mixdeck and my question is can i use any software such as Serato, Tracktor and Virtual dj on this deck. Any answer will be helpful thanks.

  • @nmdog112... You can use any MIDI mappable software with it, so NOT Serato Scratch Live or Traktor Scratch Pro, but Traktor Pro 2, or Traktor LE, Virtual, Deckadance or Torq etc...

  • hey my mixdeck came with virtual dj, but im thinking of switching to traktor. any advice about that? ive heard bad reviews about it but im trying to get as much feedback as possible

  • @aichestylercollin Its all a personal choice... People will always hate something, so never listen, look at things yourself as they all can be seen on Youtube, or downloaded as trial free versions. In the USA for example, Traktor is not included nor loved as much as in UK, Europe and the rest of the world... Traktor is certainly the software most big DJs use in my opinion, but you have to make these decisions yourself, just don't take it as gospel, play with it and see if it works for you.

  • @andrecato Thanks a lot

  • @aichestylercollin No problem, I am now using Twitter a lot to talk gear, so follow me on there too! @andrecato :)

  • so bro.....How do we record to our ipod??

  • @nativesamari You use the record function in your iPod, simple, from what I remember when I reviewed the product, it will appear when you dock the iPod... Its very easy though, if someone has exact answer, please post!

  • @andrecato All you should have to do is when the recording thing loads on the ipod, there will be a read record button. When you hit record it should then start recording. Fairly Simple

  • :]

  • I love you man, because of you I am spending a good amount of $9,200 pesos today on it! Have an amazing day :]

  • @82n2 I love you too mate, just because you are excited and obviously ready for your musical adventure! Enjoy, let me know how you go and if I can help with ANYTHING, let me know.... find me on Twitter @andrecato also!

  • Does the Numark Mixdeck works with Traktor Le

  • Hi, does this Mixdeck includes traktor ?

  • @oscilev Depends where you are in the world, some get Virtual DJ, others get Traktor, ask your local shop!

  • can it work with virtual dj?

  • Whats the place to get the cheapest price for this in australia? :)

  • @Rodgo16 Send me a message Rodgo, to andre@12am.com.au and I will track down for you. Let me know where you are!

  • this system is worth the $ but somthing ive never figured out is my zune... Ive tried to plug in my zune on the usb, Sometimes it picks it up and says "375 mp3 files found" but than it zeros and says "Please try another folder" ive never been able to figure that out, Any ideas?

  • hey, does this work as well if you dont use a computer and just use an ipod or cd's?

  • @parkster08 For sure mate!

  • Can I use this as a MIDI controller also ?

    Like the Mixtrack Pro

  • @geniusgreig Absolutely!

    

  • can i hook this up to my PA system?

  • @aditpshah Totally....

  • does this need a power cord or can you just turn on the machine through the button in the back?

  • @jyandle101 ... YES, you need a power cord.

  • Can i use one flash drive and play songs from there onto both decks?

  • good mention about wether people should get this or seperate cd players and mixer. I have not bought this product (...yet) however i have been DJ'ing for over 13 years and have demoed this at my store. if you are just starting or have been for quite some time, this is perhaps the most impressive design Numark has come out with.My buddy who is all vinyl even is impressed, def worth the buy. Iv seen it go as low as 400$ just gotta look around

  • hey Andre can u plz send me more info, im looking into purchasing it as a starting set and would like it if u could show me the finer points of it, something an owner could tell me, thanks!

  • @linker9kid The X1 is a software controller, so why would you want to hook it up to the mixdeck? You can have both the Mixdeck and X1 connected to Traktor though, via your computer. You just need 2 USB ports.

  • hey m8 you know if it has a bpm counter

    

  • @9angel7 It sure does have a BPM counter...

  • Hey man, great work!

  • does the numark mixdeck show the bpm on the screen?

  • Can you tell me if I can use DJay (for Mac) by Algoriddim?

  • Does the remote feature work with Virtual DJ?

  • Great Video man, I was just wondering which speakers are you using there, the one's in the background, thanks. :)

  • my mixdeck doesnt play musik from my computer. i installed everything but doesnt work. CAN YOU HELP ME? PLEASE!!!!

  • @Kilmer1111 Ok mate, deeeep breath! We will get it going for you...

    Please send me an email so we can discuss the fine details - But, I need to know what you are doing and what you are trying to achieve when pluggin into your computer and what in fact is not working, ie whether the machine is not being recognised or you simply can't set up the controls for a particular piece of software. Email me at andre@12am.com.au.

  • wow that looks so fun!!! was looking at the idj2 for starters but now i just wanna get this in case i decide to use the cd players or computer control.....gotta save up the money now though! XD

  • how do i unlock the key when im using it with the tracktor. when i hook it up with the pc it locks my fc keys. please tell me how to unlock it.. its pissing me off

  • When i place my ipod in the deck dock, the ipod says this device does not support this action... Any idea how i can get it to work?

  • I love my Mixdeck.. And now with Traktor Pro 2 .. It's just grand. Great system for a good price. sound cloud dot com / sismonyc Check out my traktor progressive/tech-house runs!

  • do u recomend mixdeck or ns7??

  • @paisanos - If I had a choice and money was no option, i would go for an NS7, I love the feel and professional feel of the whole unit. Mixdeck is for someone who wants/needs EVERYTHING in one console, more of a mobile or home DJ. 

  • I love my MixDeck!!!!! Dont sleep on it, get it - Perfect for beginner DJs

  • i have a question... when they released the mixdeck last year there was a lot of negative feedbacks from people who bought it....

    did numark already fix those problems?

  • hi how I mix videos with virtual mixdeck can u help me tks

  • how many effects has the mixdeck? also i need the name of them, thx

  • So you can actually Dj with the virtual dj or traktor like if you were using the mixtrack pro?!

  • Love your reviews Andre! Hey, what are your thoughts about Numark Universal Mixdeck vs. Numark iDJ3 ? I want to buy, but dont really know which would be best?

  • could i use serato itch with the mixdeck?

  • Thanks bro, helpful... Just wondering about the output audio quality compared to say a djm 600 mixer? Does the numark stack up in that respect???

    And is it compatible with serato scratch software?

    cheers

  • this is a great piece of equipment and everyday i play with it i find new functions to it, its worth the money, and i personally recommend this instead of the mixtrack pro because the mixtrack only has 2 outputs and doesnt come with the functions the mixdeck does, the only thing i didn't like is the ipod dock because it does not support 4th generation and that is the ipod i own, but virtual dj does have a recorder option, hope this helps some of the questions between the mixdeck and mixtrack pro

  • Can we record with an ipod touch ??

  • sick accent

  • Can i use the midi with external mixer ?

  • hey, nice vid but how do u record onto ur ipod?? is it a type of app or something?

    and what does the parameter knob do?? u said it has something to do with syncing the songs... does it automatically sync them??

    thanx

  • hey, nice vid but how did u record on to the ipod?? is it a type of app or something??

    annd what does the paramater knob doo... u said it has something to do with the syncing of the songss??

  • Great video! Can i use the midi controler with external mixer ? The decks and the midi separetly with pioneer djm 600 for example?

  • Hey great vid learned a few things i didnt know. well for some reason my tractor program does not quite work with my mixdeck. i dont know if its the program or the mixer. for one i lose a lot of fx and all the controls dont work like reloop and revers play and stuff like that. any way i can find out what it is. oh and one more thing my mic input i used it for the first time and it really distorts the sound of the mic.

  • can it be use with virtual dj 6 software

  • @cooliephilly813 yes you can :)

  • whats the song??

  • whats song ?

  • whats the songs??

  • CAN THIS MIXDECK WORK WITH SERATO SCRATCH LIVE?

  • Hey how do you make the video thats sounds like its connected to the speakers or something? it has very good sound quality when you start playing the mixdeck

  • @MrJba89 I recorded the audio with the iPod and then sync'd it up with the video footage. Cheers

  • @MrJba89 The other option is some cameras have a audio in jack which you can plug things into it.

  • Can you Use Numark Cue with the Mixdeck?

  • hey mate luvin the video's, just wonderin if u think for a begginer who has done abit of work with vitrual dj lookin at buyin their first deck, what do u think would b better and last longer as i progresses, mixdeck or mixtrack pro? thnx :)

  • @stevo8cro You really just need to ask yourself... Do you need CD players? That is the main thing you will miss if you go for Mixtrack Pro instead of Mixdeck. If you don't play many CDs, then I would start with Mixtrack Pro and see where you end up, you can always upgrade.

  • thas work on windows 7

  • Can this be used on serato via usb?? if not can you use it with timecoded cd and the slr1 box???

    Thanks

  • @Mattaus1994 You cannot use it with serato.

  • @Mattaus1994

    You can use with Serato via the timecoded CDs and the SL1 box, yes.

  • @andrecato Awsome thanks

  • hi i have a numark mixdeck but i dont know how to use the tap button

    can you tell me how to use it and what can i do whit it?

    see ya

  • what kind of speakers should i use for this?

  • If you connect the mixdeck with your computer. Is there a button on the mixdeck where you can load the track to a deck?

  • @ricard0wnz yes ther is just push down on the track knock for the side you want to play on

  • what are the names of the songs you play ?

  • Much Respect Andre!!!

    This is an amazing peice of equipment, I love the Record Function...

    I want one now hahah

    Also the demonstration was very helpful.

    Thanks for the info!

    Peace

  • That was very helpful information on the mixdeck now for sure this will be a great piece of equipment when traveling on the road for different gigs

  • THANK YOU !!!! :)
