We reported on the announcement of the a while back here at DV Mag and I’ve been looking forward since then to getting my hands on one for review. Mixtrack Pro is a USB bus powered, dedicated controller that addresses the free and bundled, Virtual DJ LE software, a program that is new to me and until now, untried. This is the top of two DJ units bearing the Numark Mixtrack name – this ‘Pro’ model is identical to the standard model aside from the fact that the more expensive ‘Pro’ has a built-in souncard and works with Virtual DJ LE (as opposed to the standard Mixtrack, which uses [free]Traktor LE). Build Quality At just over 18″ wide and 11″ deep, the unit itself is extremely lightweight and portable, easily fitting into a decent sized laptop bag or backpack. Although having a body that seems fully formed in plastic, it still feels quite strong and durable for project studio and live club operation. The mini-platters, emulating a standard CDJ format, sit left and right, with the mixer controls central. Transport controls, looping, cue and all other essentials are logically laid out too.

So lets have a look round the hardware side of things and gauge the type of quality in relation to the affordable price bracket it sits in. Response One of the most important features of any DJ controller is the tactile response of all controls – platters, faders, buttons and knobs etc. Although not falling into the ultra-pro end ‘feel’ of Numark’s rather more more expensive (and user configurable), NS7/V7 etc, the Mixtrack Pro delivers a non-adjustable, middle-ground response that Numark have bestowed on the platters. This works fine for me, combining a good ratio between free running and resistance factors. The vertical track faders seem a little stiff however (and can slightly ‘shake’ the unit if used vigorously), but once you get used to them, quite honestly, they’re fine. As for the rest of the Mixtrack’s faders, dials and buttons, all feel and operate at a high quality representation, again considering that this is a more ‘budget’ of Pro solutions.
Navigate and Load Navigating around playlists and selecting/loading of tracks is a breeze with addressing the Virtual DJ LE software. The central scrollable dial uses a ‘back’ button and a click me feature to navigate through hard disc folders and songs, loading whichever selection the DJ chooses quickly and with no fuss. Be aware though (and this may be something that could be avoided by upgrading to the Virtual DJ ‘full’ pro version), that it’s easy to load up a new track over the top of ( and replacing) a ‘live’ one already playing. An alternative provided too by the way are the two separate ‘Load A/B’ buttons which provide the same (deck loading function). Check The Mix Standard and important DJ controls of headphone ‘cue’s (selectable between cue channel and program mix), headphone level and 3 band EQ are present and correct.
