In the back of the unit is a pair of RCA Master outputs, a button for choosing from among the four LED light modes (more on them later on), the three LED RGB lights, and a USB cable that’s attached to the unit. I amm not a fan of the built-in cable: if it breaks, you won’t be able to replace it yourself. The Numark Party Mix ships with Virtual DJ LE, which is the “intro” version of Virtual DJ 8. The jogs on the Numark Party Mix are tiny and far from the best-feeling ones out there, though you can’t expect much in the sub-US$100 price range. There is an annoying niggle – whenever you let go of the jogwheel, it takes almost one second before Virtual DJ resumes playback. Even if you “push” the jog forward, this doesn’t help shorten the playback gap.Įven stranger: track playback will resume automatically after you’re done moving the jogwheel forwards or backwards, even though you haven’t let go of the jogwheel yet.

It’s disconcerting to say the least, because as DJs we’re used to having the track “stop” when we’ve got our hands on the jog. The onboard mixer has knobs for gain, high, and low – you won’t find any filter knobs here. The volume faders are plasticky but weighted, and while the crossfader is looser, it isn’t buttery smooth.
