Reply to Caution to mixtrack buyers/owners

The mixtrack was a MISTAKE.

First one that I ordered from Musician's Friend seemed fine at first but within a WEEK I noticed the crossfader was being glitchy. Then after a few more weeks and testing it turns out if you move the crossfader up or down it moves it to the left or right in a gltichy manner. Also it was pretty lame how you couldn't flick the crossfader from one side to the other, pretty cheap.

It was unusable as a DJ controller at that point because the crossfader was going haywire all over the place.


I exchanged it for ANOTHER mixtrack except when this one came, no crossfader problem, but the right jog wheel was like 75% responsive and had something stuck underneath the platter causing resistance(has anyone else experienced this?). You couldn't spin it 360 without your finger being stopped by something and slowed down.

All-in-all the responsiveness is just not there and the build quality is pretty poor, i mean at 150 it must have cost half the price to build the thing. The size of the wheels are nice but that doesn't mean anything if there's cheap plastic parts underneath and it doesn't respond well enough.

I'm ordering a Vestax Typhoon because of the metal jog wheels, and less plastic/better plastic.I"ll post back to compare the two but I haven't had a Numark Mixtrack work 100% yet, and for some reason I see a LOT of good reviews out there. Buyers beware.
