Press once to engage, turn to expand and contract, and press again to disengage. The loop button controls Serato DJ Pro’s looping features per deck. For the details freaks, the channel meters are post-everything. I’m perfectly happy with these small meters - as long as you see the white come on sometimes, you’ll be fine. Wait what? Perhaps it means that the signal is white hot. Meters are simple - just 4 red LEDs with a 5th white one to… indicate going into the red?. I doubt that Numark or anyone else for that matter makes compatibility with 3rd party knobs a design priority though. Aesthetic note - the grey knobs aren’t as light as the PR pics.Īlso, being as thorough as I am, Chroma Caps and Coolor Caps fit, but the long pot stems mean that they sit above by a few more millimetres than I am happy with. I like the more slimline knobs as they give a little more space around the controls.

The knobs are rubber with metal pots, and the chunky filters are also nutted to the faceplate.

This is a mixer of three distinct parts - the top 40% is hardware audio controls, the middle 20% is pure Serato DJ Pro controls, and the bottom 40% is faders. I have no doubt that the Numark Scratch will take a beating, and not be quite so heavy in your rucksack. We’ve been here many times before - it’s a metal chassis that’s of a lighter gauge than what I’ve been used to in recent times, if only because Rane and Denon DJ are a much sturdier proposition. Given the colour scheme, a pair of reds in the box would have been preferable. But instead they have to splash out another £20 to get going. I see this as an entry level mixer, which means that the potential market would want a plug and play experience.

Oh - the Numark Scratch doesn’t include vinyl, which is an odd choice.

And as far as Macs go there’s no additional drivers to install either. I have always liked this plug and play nature about Serato.

No serial numbers to deal with - just nice and simple as it should be. Installation is simple - sign up at the Serato site, download the software, plug in, and you’re off. Yes you want all the bells and whistles found on the aforementioned mixers, but need is a different matter. It has a subset of the core features of the current slew ( DJM-S9, Mixars DUO, Rane Seventy Two, Reloop Elite) of Serato turntablist oriented mixers to distill down an affordable specification that ticks all the necessary boxes for the majority of users. I find that the Numark Scratch is an uncomplicated mixer that does exactly what it looks like it should. little digging into Serato DJ Pro preferences usually gives a few answers too.

#RANE SERATO SCRATCH LIVE EBAY MANUAL#

There has certainly been little need to dig into the manual to work out the stuff that should be immediately obvious. So it’s nice to be presented with a Serato mixer that makes sense right out of the box. Serato DJ Pro mixers of late have been beasts of increasing (and dare is say unnecessary) complexity and size.

Better than the price tag might indicate.

Clear? FIRST IMPRESSIONSĪfter 15 years doing this, I find that my first impressions are usually lasting throughout the period of a review. And once you’ve done that, I’ll tell you how well I think it does it. So it’s important that you pour over the materials provided by Numark such as the manual and introduction videos to find out what the Numark Scratch is supposed to do. We don’t do walkthroughs or demos, because that’s not our role in the DJ industry. I’ve made it a policy that our reviews are all about our opinion. The name clearly indicates the target market, but it’s an ideal entry level DVS mixer for everyone. The Numark Scratch is a Serato DJ Pro fuelled 2 channel mixer. This is not the norm, and it makes me interested to see how this price level has been achieved. So when I read “Serato” and “$499”, a wry smile appeared on my face. While the top end of the scratch food chain has been populated with mixers of increasing price tags, it has continued to bother me that the once affordable scratch scene has a bar to entry that has spiralled out of control. Which brings me to the Numark Scratch in front of me. But I’ve missed Numark, and am thankful that while it has adopted more of a budget position, it is still alive and kicking, and bringing products that people will want. The stream of goodies from inMusic stablemates Denon DJ and Rane has been strong and largely excellent. The list of my personal favourites from the brand is long, but in recent times Numark has been quieter than normal. It’s a brand with a long heritage, stretching back before I became a DJ, and has continued to deliver things I like a lot since the dawn of skratchworx. “Why not” I responded.Īnd verily it arrived. “Want to do an exclusive review on our new mixer?” enquired Numark’s marketing team.
