I applaud both Numark and Serato for streamlining the software upload and installation. Simply go online and download the Serato DJ Intro and install it and you’re ready to get started. When you get the Numark Mixtrack Pro 2 and open the box you’ll wonder if your software was stolen. The layout of the Mixtrack Pro 2 is similar to the original with 3 upfaders for each deck and a master volume control in the center of the unit. The unit sits on four rubber feet so you don’t have to worry about it getting away from you in less than stellar DJ booths.Īlthough the knobs and fader caps provide a constant reminder that this is budget hardware, the rubber performance pads are backlit and the jogwheels are visually satisfying and completely sturdy.
The unit is smaller than the original Mixtrack Pro and it has a metallic casing and a brushed black surface that lends a more expensive look, even if it is still a plastic budget-friendly controller. You can’t really talk about any type of DJ hardware without talking about how it looks and feels. The software to hardware compatibility issues left a lot to be desires and now that DJing has changed even more since the Numark Mixtrack first hit the scene, let’s see what changes they’ve made. The Mixtrack Pro didn’t have the slender and sleek feel common to digital controllers. Many DJs, myself included, were hoping the latest Mixtrack would look like what one expects a DJ controller in 2013 to look like. Now that the Numark Mixtrack Pro 2 has hit the shelves, it’s time to find out if the folks at Numark have made any significant changes to entice DJs to upgrade. It’s no secret that the original Mixtrack models allowed digital DJs on a budget to get into the game.
