Numark Mixdeck Express

The Numark MixDeck Express is a mixer control surface that you can plug up to your PC via USB. It has dual CD decks and a 3 channel mixer. It comes with Serato DJ software (which I cannot stand) and has 2 touch sensitive platters for spinning. Using this unit has really showed me how easy it is to use your whole sound library to mix with. You can mix directly from CDs or a USB flash drive. You can even mix directly from your computer hard drive. So whenever you have a set to do you will have all of your music with you at all times.
Setting up the MixDeck is simple; you do not need to worry about if it is compatible with your system as long as you have a newer system. You can use this unit with any DJ software that is out because it is very easy to sync up. Most of the time I do not use it with a computer though I just go right form CD’s. That was the main reason that I decided that I wanted to use the Mixdeck. At the time I was learning to mix right from CD’s and needed a good unit to learn with.
This unit does not come with a case, but you can go out and purchase a case for it. The case is will cost a good amount of money but it is worth having it. The value for the quality of this unit is great, it is well made and I can see myself having it for years to come.
Numark does have another unit that I am interested in called the MixDeck Quad and the iCDMIX 3. One of those to models will be what I step up to once I decide to get rid of this MixDeck Express. This unit is great for pros and for beginners to learn on. Mix from CD’s or hard drives quickly and easily.

* How long you use it?
1 day

* Did you tried many other models before buying it?
No, I just had a "Hercules DJControl MP3" (that is to say my level of knowledge in this area) with Virtual DJ (which I'm happy, except a perfectible BPM sync)

* What is so special that you love the most, least?
I like the +:
the next "All in One" (2CD MP3, USB drive, controller software noon mixer) with integrated sound card.
MIC + 2 (one front and one behind 6.35 mm 6.35 mm)
+ 1 Aux / Phono
+ 1 Master output XLR, 2 RCA outputs MASTER
+ Correct size
+ Jog pleasant to handle (not too scratch test performed at the moment, it's not my thing)
+ knob adjustment (Bass / med / high) with mid-point with a kill effective (3 min = knob in addition to)
+ The power supply is integrated (no adapter lying around)
+ Loop (in / out / reloop) nickel
+ Good sound quality
+ The price (<600 €)

What I like least:
The fact that the central part (Mixer + Audio Set) is by "Midi"
- A single cue point by platinum, it's just
- That three effects (via scratch jog, reverse and brake (adjustable))
- The fact that this is only "Serato DJ Intro" that is delivered with. (Which did not especially disturbing because the part is not mixing "Midi", but suddenly no sound comes out of the ordinary, to go either by the headset to the controller or by the RCA Controller plugged into the amp or a string, which I did my testing with my laptop just quiet in my living room it bothers me a bit. But VirtualDJ or Traktor Pro overcomes this (but I did not: (.)

So basically: Good but little better. Ultra right price considering you can just mix with this controller and amp / speaker with a lot of support. For a small mobile disco (or night out to laugh a little buddy) without large means it can do.
