@MrDarkjohn Great question. Anytime you use turntables and dj software you will need timecode vinyl. The leading DVS or digital vinyl systems on the market like Serato Scratch Live and Traktor Scratch Pro or Duo will include the timecode vinyls when you purchase them. M-Audio Torq also uses proprietary timecode vinyl so the mp3s on your laptop can be played and manipulated. I hope this helps!

@GeeSKiiProductionS Absolutely, it's perfect for beginners. Thanks for the comment and I hope this helps!

@Cityj0hn Thanks so much for the kind words. Reloop is getting some good press and we will be doing more vids with their fine product.

@sellassiekid Thanks for the comment. You would have to map that function to probably the cue points. We will try to figure it out and let you know. Cheers!

There is no dedicated filter knob but you you can select a filter in your software and control those parameters with the Mixtrack Pro.

Yes and you can download mappings on the Virtual DJ website.

@strengtpk3rpure Yes, it will. In fact, Virtual DJ now ships with the Mixtrack Pro in North America. We have used it with both flawlessly.

Finally!, someone knows how to review controllers and touch on the details we really care about instead of just talking about the layout as if we're all blind. Scott you're a hero, Best review on the Reloop I've ever seen and I've seen many... thanks for that. Greetz City

@dpdilla Thanks for the question. I lean heavily toward the Mixtrack Pro and the Typhoon of the three, but the Mixtrack Pro has been our most popular and it is very easily mapped for VDJ and Traktor. The Typhoon, however is most comfortable for the style in which I play which is more controllerist and quick mixing. I hope this helps.

@DannyBruv2k Thanks for the comments! I really like the Mixtrack Pro because it really simplifies the process without compromising the cool features like hot cues, and effect rotaries. Of the three, the Digital Jockey 2 allows for 4 deck prep (2 simultaneously) when you use it with Traktor Pro which is what I prefer best. I hope this helps!

@narugeek456 We are expecting them back in very soon. They'll be listed as soon as the hit the door. Thanks for the comments!

to anyone that's beginning and wants a good/quality deck but on a small budget i'd recommend mixtrack pro, love the simple lay out it's so simple you just cant go wrong. I just ordered mine from united squared yesterday and im so keeeeen! plus their $350 in australia, picked this one up for $230 w/postage, absolute stealll!

It should be coming to us soon. We will post a video/blog as soon as we get our hands on it.

@sdeary1 Our Reloop Digital Jockey 3 review is coming very soon. Thanks for the comment.

I recommed the Reloop Digital Jockey II had mine near 12months now i gigged the hell out of it from clubs to bar even to a couple of mobile disco's it never missed a beat.

The Numark Mixtrack Pro 2 has some nice improvements over the Numark Mixtrack Pro. If you are already leaning towards the Mixtrack Pro I would recommend going with version 2. You can find both DJ controllers as well as a lot of other gear on the UniqueSquared website. Click the links in the description below the video for more information.

Ableton Live is a MIDI mappable software. Since the Typhoon sends MIDI data, you can map any function on the Typhoon to Ableton Live.

EQ Kills will bring the Highs, Mids, or Lows to zero when engaged. Hot Cues are ways to jump to specific points in the track

@djmoneyhungry There is no delay in mixing or scratching. If you experience this at all you can adjust the buffer speed to work best with your processor. I hope this helps!

@Uniquesquared thanks alot for your reply and advice .. i think i will do that :) im really looking forward to getting stuck in to the digital possibilities !

If you are talking about Serato Intro then the Mixtrack Pro does but not the Mixtrack. Intro only works with controllers with integrated soundcards. Serato Pro however will work with the Mixtrack and Mixtrack Pro.

@EssentialCardistry Thanks for the question. I truly believe you should save for the S4 or S2 considering you are very experienced and you should definitely start with a more advanced software like Traktor. I hope this helps!

We have both a video and a blog on the Hercules DJ Control Air. You can search for it on our KZread channel and you can find the blog link in the description below that video.

The pads are not touch sensitive but the jog wheels are. Touch sensitive jog wheels enable you to scratch and use the wheels to manipulate effects.

My apologies, the S2 does have an RCA input, but you would still need an external soundcard like the Audio 8 or 10 in order to play timecode. Only the S4 is direct.

The QuNeo is a solid controller for any level of skill. The real power of QuNeo comes from its integration with Ableton but it can be mapped to any MIDI mappable software. If you are looking to go the traditional DJ route, then consider the Numark Mixtrack Pro. We have both for great price on the UniqueSquared website.

To see if we ship to your location, go through the checkout process and calculate for shipping costs.

I am considering the Vestax. I tried to DJ in the early days and failed. I order the Misa Kitara digital guitar and am looking to get back into music. I was a Bass and Guitar player but felt limited during the 70s through 2000s. I haven't done any music for years but am liking the technology. The problem was that we had to learn to play keyboards with Midi technology and robotic drums. I will able to create music that's inside my head without the need to learn 10 instruments

@therealAnimalex We have a video for the Mixtrack Pro on our channel. We are considering doing one for the VCI-300mk2 but I think something new is on the horizon from Vestax. Thanks for the comment!

@Anson431 I prefer the Typhoon over the spin simply because of Traktor. They are about the same price, but you can also use the Typhoon with Traktor Pro if you wanted to upgrade and it has a lot more to offer. I hope this helps.

If you have troubleshooting or technical questions you should try posting them on our forum. There is a whole community of people ready and willing to help find the solutions to your problems. You can find the link in the description to this video.

@Yuck264 All 3 are great for mixing for sure. I like the ease of the Mixtrack Pro and Typhoon to access loop and effects but the Typhoon I favor a little more for scratching.

Yes we are an authorized Numark retailer in addition to the other brands we carry.

I also have a Numark Mixtrack Pro with EQ kills, But you can map the buttons in the software so that they become hot cues.

Yes. The great thing about Traktor is that it is MIDI mappable so you can connect any device that sends MIDI to to Traktor and have that device control the functions within the software.

@IIDeMIZex I know. It depends on where you buy it, North America or Europe/Asia.

The Numark Mixtrack has EQ kills, the Numark Mixtrack Pro has hot cues. Sometimes different continents get shipped different software packages. For instance if you bought your Mixtrack Pro in Europe or Asia then it is likely that Traktor LE was shipped with the unit.

@xXxdesix Both plug into your computer via separate USB inputs. Start Traktor of Virtual DJ and select the Numark I/O as your audio output. That should do the trick. I hope this helps.

Yes. Traktor is a MIDI mappable software which allows you to map any controller that sends MIDI.

@dansnad It has a power adapter, and the crossfader and faders are very durable.

It's fine to count in any increment of 4, but musically it might make more sense to mix in 8 or 16's. For instance, if you count a verse or chorus, it usually repeats after 8 or 16, and if you are mixing harmonically and by phrasing this would be more suitable. I hope this helps!

A simple solution to this would be to incorporate a headphone amplifier. You may want to check the headphone output volume of your software as well. Certain softwares tend to put out less volume than others.

We will show you the goods as soon as we get our hands on one. Thanks for the comment!

Certainly, for now it's just the S2 and S4, but we are anticipating a few others soon. We'll keep you posted!

You have a 1/4 inch headphone and microphone input as well as two stereo RCA outs.

The Vestax Typhoon as well as other DJ controllers do not make sounds themselves but play tracks for you to mix and add FX to. If you are looking to make that particular sound you should look into production and at programs like Massive from Native Instruments.

@TheHarlequin7 These are for use with your computer.

It really depends on your preference to the software. These are all very similar, but the Mixtrack Pro has been our best seller and most popular of the three. I hope this helps in some way!

i would check with the Native Instruments website but it is my understanding that Traktor Pro will be the same price even if you have LE.

Actually the Ns6 and 4trak from numark are for pro dj's also. it really just goes on preference in that matter of which controll would be best.

@Scarass93 Yes, you can map it to the knob in Traktor.

Sure, just go RCA out into the DJ mixer. Speakers don't plug directly in, unless they're powered. The sound quality is the same as any turntable DVS system or CDJ's. I hope this helps!

@fullysick3 We'll absolutely consider it. Which one are you interested in?

@funkygungadin You can always match beats manually on any of these. All of the controllers and software play music in MP3 format as a standard, but some play other formats, too. Making the physical switch might seam weird at first, but it really is about making the switch to the software. You can download demos of Serato Itch and Traktor so that you can get familiar. I hope this helps!

@Pierluigigrech Unfortunately, no. It is proprietary to ipad or ipod.

@OutdoorsAndSuch You will need a sound card, like the NI Audio 2 or the Numark DJ I/O. I hope this helps!

@RICO1UK I like the Mixtrack Pro overall. I hope this helps!

Yes all controllers can be mapped to Traktor with its MIDI mapping functionality.

@cpfreak730 Nope, but you can load all of your itunes songs easily as well as any other mp3s on your computer.

just to point out mix track pro also comes with traktor 2 le and DOES have low mid and high kill buttons at the top above the effects controlls

@TechnoFezy Of the two, I prefer the VCI300mkII. I hope this helps!

No, but you can map it to one of the knobs if you are using Traktor with it.

@frkadeath I favor the Mixtrack Pro because the jogs feel better and are more accurate. I hope this helps.

Click the links in the description below the video.

@NICKYMIXDJ Are you using Traktor or Virtual DJ? The Mixtrack Pro and Vestax Typhoon can use both and they are our best sellers in that price range.

@VergilX20 They play identically. There is virtually no difference in the audio quality. The quality of audio is really dependent on the bitrate of your MP3. It sounds like you may have already chosen the Typhoon and I think it will work out great for you.

I had the Vestax Typhoon and I now have the Numark Mixtrack pro. To loop on the Mixtrack pro you can do it in 2 ways, manually or in auto mode. On the Vestax Typhoon you can only do it in auto mode. The decks on the Vestax Typoon are nicer to scratch on, than the Numark Mixtrack pro. And the filter on the Vestax Typhoon is really good, something that the Numark Mixtrack pro has not got. To cue up a songs in your headphones, I found the Numark MIxtrack pro easier and better.

@Uniquesquared 2:52 you can do that also with the vestax typhoon

People are recommending the Mixtrack Pro 2. I am looking at getting a controller, but I'm not ready to give up cd's and vinyl. I have been running my laptop into a line input on my mixer, this would continue if I get the MTP2, or the Pioneer DDJ-WeGO. I am also looking at the Gemini CNTRL-7. The Gemini controller has inputs as well as outputs that would be useful, and would eliminate the need for an analog mixer. I could hook a TT and CDJ into the controller directly. Unsure, INPUT!!!

I'm going for the Reloop. If somebody has had any bad experience with this one, let me know please.

We have a video comparison of those two on our channel.

@ximena2250 The Mixtrack pro has a Traktor 2 edition. But it is only sold in EU and Asia.

@alghamedGT We did one on the Jockey 3 ME, and we'll be sure to do one on the Terminal Mix 4 as soon as we receive it. Thanks!

@willie05ful No,the Vestax Typhoon doesn't but the Vestax Spin does

I personally prefer buying the numark mixtrack pro, allthough they are nowadays sold with traktor software. I like virtual dj much more, would my virtual dj software work with it instead of traktor?

@FreakyRipstik We'll do another comparison vid in the new year of all the ones that get announced at NAMM.

Daft Punk - Digital Love (Algeronics Remix), and thanks for the comment!

I just started trying to produce with ableton but I also want to dj what mid range controller would be best.

you´re talking about 500$ difference! Numark is for beggining djs S4 is for Pro Djs in controllers..... so it´s your choice to make a big step in the beggining or just to learn something there is also the medium controllers that can be the S2, MC3000, can be also stanton scs4DJ that is stand alone... etc :) more questions I help you :) I´m not a pro but I now about what you can buy and for what price

The Mixtrack Pro is great for a beginner. Check out the links below the video if you want to pick one up for yourself.

I havent actually used the Vestax, however I own the Mixtrack Pro, and in my opinion, it is really quite easy, the jog wheels just seem to move so smoothly, and it takes little effort :)

Do you mean Algoriddim's djay app? If so I am not sure about Typhoon support but the Vestax Spin has many of the same functions as the Typhoon and was designed specifically for Algoriddim djay.

Both very similar, what software do you prefer?

@TechFromTheTropics The Mixtrack Pro is $250 and would be perfect. It has become very popular and is relatively easy to use with multiple software. I hope this helps!

@dansnad You can easily map it in Traktor software preferences, however it doesn't ship with Pro. The Reloop is very good quality, the others have just been more popular on our website. All in all I recommend either of these.

Mixtrack Pro also comes with Traktor and Serato and Virtual DJ Le.

@DJNoble12 yea but it only comes with the Virtual DJ LE. this board is pretty much perfect for beginners so good luck with your gig!

@DJNoble12 practice as much as you can but dont frustrate yourself. it will be confusing at first but you will get used to it and watch lots of youtube videos on the stuff it can do cause they really help. its all about baby steps no one is a pro when they first start im sure youll do fine

@knnylow Sure thing, look for it soon!

Great video, exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to choose between the Vestax Typhoon and the iMix Reload. Have you used the latter? The only thing stopping me getting the Vestax straight away is the lack of cue buttons, which I (correct me if I'm wrong) think are quite important for beat juggling. I also noticed how you didn't mention the prices of the controllers. WHich is the best value for money in your opinion? Cheers!

@enrique4691 Yes, you can adjust your buffer. Which software are you using?

@MrBlussery What is your price range? And what software do you prefer?

Glad to hear it, cheers!

for a beginner which would be good to buy the Numark Mixtrack Pro or the Reloop Digital Jockey 2

the million dollar question though: which do you prefer of the three and why? i'm trying to decide between the vestax and the mixtrack myself, but i'm heavily leaning toward the vestax (i use djay, also ableton but i use a nocturn and launchpad for that).

@TheVHstudios Yes, you can.

@relikedH There are many good .tsi files for it, but you can pretty much map it yourself right out of the box with Traktor Pro 2. I hope this helps.

Hi. thanks so much for a reveiw about these controllers. i was wondering if you could consider a comparison between the Numark Mixtrack Pro and the Numark Idj3. thanks.

@cflemming23 You could go with the Mixtrack Pro of Vestax Typhoon, but I would wait and save up for the S2 or S4 considering you have a lot of experience and could seriously take advantage of the capabilities of the NI product. I hope this helps!

@FlatfaceEnergyVoxx I recommend all of them, it depends on which you are comfortable with. The Mixtrack Pro is our best seller of the three.
