Numark Party Mix II DJ Controller with Lights, 2 Decks, Mixer, Audio Interface and Serato Lite

Good mixer for beginner mixer

Definitely watch a few YouTube videos before smacking around on the buttons. Very easy to learn for a beginner and small enough to carry with you. The sound output and response from the device is perfect. Overall good quality for the cost, and connects easily to your laptop and speakers (no issues with compatibility but verify that you're device is updated if you do run into problems). The only negative is the buttons are loud, they're not soft touch.

Love it! Small, but perfect for what I needed. Nothing fancy, so check out all the specs before buying. If you want simple and straightforward, this is for you. Good sound. Durable.

I really like this DJ controller for what it is: a simple, compact, beginner friendly controller. There are a couple of controller-specific YouTube videos to train you on absolute basics of this deck and so far I feel confident with what I've learned. I can see how some people find it a bit limiting, but for the cost, portability, and simplicity, I think it does everything it needs to do. I am deducting a star because I wish the buttons weren't so clicky and loud, but otherwise, I'm incredibly happy with this purchase.

Bought this so I could do a Sock Hop for our HOA's Social Committee. It's easy to set up and is immediately recognized by my PC laptop and the DJ software that I am using. Serato DJ Lite is included with this controller. However, I am using Mixxx DJ software and it works very well with this controller. The party lights only work with the Serato software if you want them to change with the beat of the music. I just turn them off. The scratch pads work smoothly, but have just a little bit of 'bounce' when trying to cue up a track: You cue it to the exact spot you want, then when you remove your finger, it 'bounces back' a tiny bit. It's not significant, but if you were a pro it would be quite annoying. For the amateur, it's really not a problem. I wish the cross fader had a touch more resistance to it to make slower fades a bit smoother. But, again, for an amateur, it's really not a problem. This controller is fun to use, and if you are just beginning to DJ it's a great learning tool for a very low price. As you advance, a more expensive controller with more features and higher quality components will be appreciated even more.

First off they make you download a software on your computer to use it that isn’t free. It only lets me play with songs on the software on my computer but the actual controller does not work. The buttons, the spinners, nothing. It only lights up so it’s basically just for show. Will be returning.

I am a beginner, like zero experience at all, and still found that this controller was a bit limited. Pros: it's compact, lightweight, and looks really cool. The light show function is fun and it was easy to set up with my laptop. It's got all the necessary components to learn the basics- if they worked. The noise level was perfect for my small apartment, and I found that it was easy to use and learn on. Cons: The jogwheels are VERY inconsistent- sometimes they work great, sometimes not at all. Mine were often delayed or one side worked while the other didn't, making functionality a nightmare. The music for both decks still came out, even when the crossfader was set to 2 and the pitch fader for 1 was all the way down. The crossfader function didn't seem to work at all for me more than half the time. Again, I am a beginner so some of this might be user error. I'm also beginning to think I just got a dysfunctional controller. I'm in courses right now, and I found that even my mentors suggested upgrading my controller for it's limited capability and inconsistent functionality. I had fun using this before I ultimately decided to return it. It was a great controller to learn the basics on WHEN IT WORKED.

Great little budget controller. Limited features, but at this price point, it's expected. Jog wheels work well. Multi function hot cue and effects buttons. Great to prepare mixes at home, or little at home parties. I wouldn't use this one as my main controller at a function or wedding, but if you had nothing else, ...this would Definitely get you through. Great back-up. Both my MacBooks running Virtual DJ recognize it instantly. My only gripe is that there's no "notch" on the pitch sliders. But again, at this price, ...understandable.
