Does anyone use the Numark Mixdeck Express???

I’m looking at getting a new setup and had this in mind also.

The mixdeck express is actually a good gear for both CD Djing as well as using it as a controller. The only thing you can’t do with it is use a DVS system because the CD players doesn’t have output and no phono inputs for external source. But for it’s price, it’s a win.

But if you don’t need the CD capabilities, then look into NI S2. Just add $100 and you’re set. :slight_smile:

what do u mean dvs

What do u mean DVS?

DVS - Digital Vinyl System

Traktor Scratch, Serato Scratch Live and M-Audio Torq Conectiv are samples of DVS. It comes with a software, soundcard box/interface and time coded vinyl & CDs. The DVS is best used with vinyl turntables. :slight_smile:

scratch

I’m a beginner so I’m trying to understand some of the verbage. So does that mean u can’t scratch with the express?

You can. But don’t expect any CD player or MIDI controller to be as 100% accurate as vinyl turntables when it comes to scratching. Nothing beats the “real thing”. :slight_smile:

s2

Alot of people suggest the s2. Is it that good?

8

Yup it’s good. But if budget is not a problem, then go for the S4. You can at least use DVS later on when you decide to hook up a pair of turntables or CD players.

You can find used ones for bargain prices. :slight_smile:

Here are a few used S4:

Good luck! :slight_smile:

Does the Mixdeck Express/Quad run without a computer?

I’m completely new to the controller scene and I’m just wondering does the mixdeck run without a computer at all??
