Removing that ultra-stubborn "BROWSE" knob from a Mixtrack Pro Posted on: 27.12.2012 by Dino Glenday Hau deaux?I feel like if I pull any harder, I'll break something... and if I can't get it off to put this fatty Chroma Cap on, I'll definitely break something (more than likely a window, along with the Mixtrack itself). Any tips, tricks, hidden secrets, Easter eggs, or magical spells that might help? | |

| Weldon Dilg 12.02.2013 | Well I dont really want a great big gap around it so I believe it is just gonna get a spray of paint. The chroma caps seem mighty dear compared to generics, not too bothered about bright colours Im just looking to get them looking smart and slightly lower profile. Got some fader ones already put again the same problem of ridiculously high posts. Gonna have to wait till I tke all my gear home in the summer and dremel them. |
| Kellie Myrum 11.02.2013 | OT want to replace it with Chroma Cap... If you need big fat knob than spraying will do. |
| Weldon Dilg 11.02.2013 | Will try in the morning. Where do you get replacements big enough though? I put my nanokontrol ones on it for a joke before. they sit about 1cm above the mixer. |
| Kellie Myrum 11.02.2013 | Combine pliers and what I said. Don't lose faith, use your third hand if needed |
| Weldon Dilg 11.02.2013 | Hm might just spray paint it, not sure I'd be able to find one that big to replace it. I had tried pliers to get it off. |
| Kellie Myrum 11.02.2013 | Make sure to place something in between knob and top plate (12 o'clock) then use two flat screwdrivers, stick it under (4 and 8 0'clock) and use power. If this doesn't work I'd cut it open |
| Weldon Dilg 11.02.2013 | Does that mean you take the lid off and it's easy to remove? Its the only one I wont be able to replace with alu lower profile ones. |
| Dino Glenday 03.01.2013 | You are a tremendous help, don't let anyone else tell you differently. |

| Caridad Fan 03.01.2013 | There is nothing much to know about an encoder like those. They all look the same (i guess). When I get a stubborn knob that doesn't want to come out I get something like a knife or something below and I try gently lift it up. |
| Dino Glenday 01.01.2013 | Seriously? Not one person has successfully removed one... or even heard of one being removed? Wow. I had no idea that this was one of those great DJ mysteries/dark secrets that "we just don't talk about"! Mebelieves I can remove it from the bottom, but that's purpose defeating as the fatty knobs more than likely won't fit. Sucks too, because out of all the knobs that's the one I really want to feel rubbery. Pupe. |
