good intro to PC mixing May 20, 2009 H. Eng (Monroe Township, New Jersey United States) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
The first thing you will notice is that the Omni Control is built like a tank. If you are doing mobile gigs construction quality is a must. Numark does not exactly make the best quality gear, but they certainly try to keep up with new features. The omni control is great for the bedroom DJ and those wanting to see if they will like this hobby and don't want to make an investment with traditional gear. If you try to start with two CDJs and a normal mixer, expect to pay twice as much. If you get Pioneer equipment expect to pay over a thousand for just a basic setup!
I already have Traktor DJS 3.4 so I was able to change the midi map, but the included Traktor LE should be fine for beginners. My only complaint is that the jog wheel is too close to the line faders, but this is also a problem with the Vestax controller. And by the way, the Vestax VCI is $500 but the quality of the build is not that much better. Knobs and caps are plastic but what do you expect at this price point.
DJ UNCLE J! July 20, 2009 Uncle J 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Yep, this is a fun product. Right price, for the right hardware. I'm not a pro, but I do like to mix music. The feeling of having a crowd pleased, dancing, and watching people bob their head at the tracks I play is a good feeling, in fact is a feeling like no other. I think DJs have the best job in the world. But like I said, I'm not a pro, so this is the closest I can get to the pro feeling, not too complicated, but not a toy. Software that comes with it is a bit lagging. I had to upgrade to the latest version of Traktor to get that pro feeling going, (oh yeah, it it was not easy to configure the MIDI to get to work correctly, eventually I got it done) and that's the only reason why I won't give it 5 stars. I think that it should come with more capable software for recording and mixing your tracks, ready out-of-the box.
Looks great too, I've taken this thing to a few parties, along with my laptop and I plug right into their sound system, it looks like a real DJ setup. It is heavy duty, sturdy, sound quality is great. This is actually an upgrade for me, I had the MK2 which was more of a toy that I quickly outgrew. This one is just right, price and quality are great.
Good for basic dance music mixing. April 19, 2010 Adam Geiger (Baltimore MD) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The Numark OmniControl is a fairly good piece of kit for beginning bedroom dj's or anyone looking for a simple tool to do some basic mixes for a house party. Its of very solid build and has a good feel to all the moving parts. The built in sound cards actually perform quite well, and I've gotten great sound quality on everything I've hooked it up to. From surround sound systems to the hi-fi to a set of studio monitors. High volumes are a little iffy when hooked to my larger Cerwin Vega pa system, but its barely noticeable even then.
A great intro piece for an aspiring dj, or a cool little mixer to sit next to your desk/laptop. For a small party I can have everything I need to mix in just a messenger bag. My only complaint is that while it functions great with Traktor LE,(which it comes with) it has some mapping problems in Traktor pro. Effects dials and buttons don't do what they are supposed to without some mapping. Its frustrating to not have my reverb come on when I hit the button to activate it. But all in all for the price, you can't go wrong.
I would recommend this for starting djs to see if they actually like djing without investing 1k+ on pro level gear. To the mobile DJ that wants to supplement the gear already owned with a midi controller. Or to the bedroom or pro dj who wants a small functional midi controller that has great portability.
Rugged, well made controller! July 2, 2010 Jason McKenna (San Francisco, CA USA) I saw the Numark Stealth controller at Guitar Center and was very impressed by it's rugged metal housing. Someone on here pointed out that it has plastic knobs, duh! Everything on up to muti-thousand dollar equipment has plastic knobs. That's just how they make 'em. If you want better plastic knobs or even metal ones, replace 'em. There not that expensive. Find 'em at Digi-Key Corp., Electronic Hardware corp., or somewhere else. Spec's for the small ones are: diameter - 10mm with 12mm skirt, 6mm shaft, height - 20mm. The single large one is: 15mm with 19mm skirt, 6mm shaft, height - 23mm.
My only criticism is the knobs are the same color as the surface. In a dimly lit nightclub, a contrasting color would've been the smarter choice. I'll probably replace the knobs at some point in the future.
I like the fact that the jog wheels spin when you spin 'em. Most of the other manufacturer's wheels stop dead, apparently from dampening.
Unfortunately, Traktor LE isn't compatible with Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger); only 10.5 (Leopard) or newer.
The Omni Control should fit nicely in a Pelican briefcase for safe transport.
For this price, it's nice. August 3, 2009 Julio Valezi (São Paulo, SP Brazil) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Easy to plug and play. Just 1 problem, the jog weel is rotates too much when you just touch it.
