It's not a bad thing but the controller weights more than other controllers, giving a very solid over feel. Opening the controller, first thing I noticed is the weight. It's a moot point but I rather see USA or Japan but these days it's rare to just see something not made in China.
Receiving the controller I found a nice surprise that the box mentions "Made in Taiwan" instead of China or other countries. I decided to order the Numark NS6 and use it with my Apple MacBookPro 13" base model (late 2011).
From many Youtube videos, the Numark NS6 had many positive reviews, was more solid feeling at the store, plus this was using Itch over Traktor (more on this later). A few people mentioned that this is a tuning issue, where you can manually adjust the jog wheel settings but I wanted something more basic, just plug and play.Īfter debating and researching some more, I took another look at the Numark NS6. The delay wasn't huge, you could still beat mix using the jog wheels but they didn't have performance close to a digital vinyl system that I was looking for. But what I found was the controller jog wheels didn't have the response I wanted out of the box. I was impressed enough with Traktor 2 LE enough to buy Traktor 2 Pro, plus a Vestax VCI-400SE (Ean Golden edition from DJ Tech Tools). I pretty much gave up for a few years and most recently looked at the market again, starting with some research and buying a Native Instruments Audio 2 DJ with Traktor LE. What I really wanted was something I could get the same performance but replacing the turntables with a smaller item. Basically they were not up to my requirements of something I could actually scratch with, also have something at least close to Serato Scratch Live, or any digital vinyl system (Traktor included). Last time I checked the market, the controllers were very toy like, jog wheels the size of Oreos, and faders were awful.
I really enjoyed dj'ing and wanted to get back into the hobby, so I checked out the market for controllers. While years ago I was highly interested in dj'ing, due to space and time, my gear is collecting dust in storage. I'm self taught, mostly from trial and error plus some group time with friends who dj'ed. My background is dj'ing with vinyl, then Serato Scratch Live, and most recently moving to controllers.
