Numark Total Control

I've been thinking of getting one of these or something similar. anybody have any experience or other recommendations. i'm not looking to do serious dj'ing, just scratching up some samples of my own making for my tracks. thanks

you could always get soundhack for free & use varispeed for scratch sounds... kinda curious about these myself though.

My mate's got one

They're shit

Dunno about this one but I do love MIDI DJ controllers. I have this one http://www.hercules.com/uk/DJ-Music/bdd/p/62/dj-console-rmx/ The audio interface sucks but whatever, the controls rock. I've got it mapped very nicely to Traktor and you can mix amazingly fast just like you would with real vinyls/cds, and even do more because it's a computer you're using. But if you're getting it just for scratching hmm... there must be a cheaper method to do that.

not very constructive, my bad

i've only seen it linked up with a 'virtual dj' type programme, obviously not on the same level as something like Traktor.

It's a bit naff, the 2 rubber turntable things aren't very nice to work with if you want to just scratch with them.

I haven't really given it a good go but it definitely isn't worth that sort of monies

I've got a buddy who has one. He had to return it to Numark 4 times before he got one that worked. Not as in fully functional, but worked period. At all.

It garbage, especially if you have vista. It even has problems working with Mac.

Spend your money elsewhere.
