The transition to using computers for DJ performance has sometimes been a confusing road for DJs to navigate. Buying software is a good start but it doesn’t provide the tactile feedback DJs are used to having. While the invention of the mouse more than 20 years ago was a giant leap for computers, it’s hardly the perfect tool for a DJ gig. Numark has been busy looking at this problem and came up with three new solutions for computer DJs of all stripes.  more

This system enables you to carry literally thousands of songs to any gig without the heavy weight of record crates.   more

For today’s DJ, interfacing your rig with a personal computer is becoming increasingly important. With a laptop computer you can mix your MP3 files with vinyl, CDs, DVDs or even a microphone.

Seamless with Vinyl, Flexibility of Digital As technology progresses, DJs embrace new formats while continuing to utilize the existing, and much loved, vinyl. However, the sound of digital media is often very different from the traditional analog, making the transition between formats very noticeable. The new CDX-05 features a unique Vinyl Filter Mode which cleverly adjusts filter settings giving digital sound the warmth of true vinyl. Mixing between CD, MP3 and records is now even easier.   more

While there's something inherently special about DJing with real vinyl, the fact remains that the format's days are numbered. Vinyl is susceptible to damage, records are becoming increasingly difficult to acquire or replace, and they are bulky and heavy when it comes to transporting one's music library. For these reasons, DJs are turning to CD, MP3 and hard drive-based equipment. And now, Numark's new HDCD1 and HDX represent the state-of-the-art.   more

The feel of working with 12½ vinyl is an essential part of the DJ experience. From pulling the record back to a cue point to speeding up the vinyl with your hand or squeezing the spindle to match beats, there is nothing else like working with a record on a turntable. It provides a direct connection between DJ and music. Needless to say, the entire art of scratching was developed using records. All scratching techniques involve the DJ touching vinyl to create musical expression—playing the turntable like an instrument. Although CDs offer advantages of sound quality and convenience, there has not been a CD player that has come close to providing that genuine feel of working with vinyl—until now.  more
