This is not a review about the product( as i never recieved the ordered product to conduct one), but about the customer service and the delivery process Amazon has in place(or is there any ??). I ordered the Numark Total controller along with Numark DJ I/O from India and I wanted my friend who was travelling to the US to take delivery of the items to bring them back to me in india. My friend was traveling to Omaha and San Francisco spread over a total period of 2 weeks. I placed the order in the presumption that he would be able to recieve the items at Omaha. The Numark DJ I/o got shipped while the Numar Total Ctlr never got shipped. After making 2 calls with Amazon I was told that the shipment would be re-routed to San Francisco where my friend was planning to be based out of during his 2nd week. Also i was told by Amazon that since I had undergone all the trouble I would be offered a next business day shipping and the product would be shipped by 20 Apr 09, WHICH NEVER HAPPENED. All were plain lies. Again after speaking to 2 more representatives(1 rep even DUMPing my call when I requested to be transferred to a Supervisor), i was told that a refund would be processed and yet, no one was able to confirm where the package was. It was sad to note that there wasnt a single support associate who could understand my concern and do the needful. Finally the most surprising part was when the support associate plainly commented “UPTO YOU”, when I expressed my decision of refraining from further orders through Amazon.
I’M NOT A PRO, JUST DJ’ING FOR FUN, AND FOR FRIENDS’ PARTIES, BUT I FIND THIS CONTROLLER VERY GOOD FOR THE PRICE, I USE VDJ, AND THIS DEVICE MADE IT EASIER FOR ME TO DO MY THING, IT’S MISSING SOME FEATURES, BUT IT’S GOOD FOR THE PRICE.
Came perfectly as described, When the person shipped the order they forgot a cable and priority shipped it to me the next day
Ok so this was a christmas gift that was bought for me and I thought it was going to be awesome. I seen this in action on youtube and some other sites and from what I seen on there it looked like this was gonna be loads of fun for not a terribly expensive price. Boy was I wrong. First and formost I will start with the software that it came with. Being that I dont use alot of djing programs I just decided to use the software that it came with labeled Traktor LE. Well after I installed it and tried to run it I found out that its just a demo and I have to spend additional money to purchase the full version software. But O well went along with it and tried the demo. Before even messing with the controller I tried playing 2 songs from i tunes. It loaded them up fine and all the knobs and effects worked but 1 big issue it doesnt even play the music? So then I tried with the controller plugged it in my usb port and compluter said found new hardware then said new hardware installed and ready to use but I looked down at it and no lights or anything were on then I switched the software in the midi option to the numark total control. It rebooted but same thing I was hitting all the buttons but no response like the controller wasnt even plugged in or something but when I unplugged it my computer made the sound when you unplug something like it was detecting it? Looked in the box and comes with no instructions whatsoever and their support for it is horrible I asked numerous people and no one seems to have an answer so this crap is going back. I will try something else biggest let down so far
Pros
It is cheap as it provides mixer with crossfaders and turntable all in one for the price of SGD 524 which most DJ set will be much more. It is powered by USB and lights to indicate in the dark. With faders, knobs and jog wheels enough for basic scratching and mixing, it is pretty neat as a software controller.
Cons
It uses jog wheel, the feel of scratching is weird compare to a vinyl is different as vinyl moves and stop when press, jog wheel does not. You must buy the software for a full function usage. On 1 CUE can be used on the controller. The button indicator’s lamination comes out easily when usage.
Overall I can say, cheap goods have it limitation no matter how good it is.
