![]() ![]() ![]() The version of Virtual DJ LE supplied has four decks, and the colour coding between the software and hardware is excellent. The jogs are good and the performance pads are well spaced, but the tempo controls are short, and the 12 EQ knobs are cramped. ![]() Add your speakers and headphones (and microphone if you want – the mic thru has a volume control too) and you’re ready to go. No audio configuration at all everything just works. It’s a class complaint so no drivers, just install Virtual DJ LE from the CD (there should also be a download option too in this day and age) and plug it in. The unit’s budget credentials show in its inputs and outputs, with just a microphone input, and a single set of RCA outputs for master out, plus headphones.Īt least with the latter there’s 1/8″ and 1/4″ options, but actually on controllers at this end of the market, I would like to see 1/8″ jack master outputs too (after all, many people will be using this with powered computer speakers, and that’s what such speakers tend to want to plug into). The knobs for the four channels are necessarily close together and so feel cramped, but the performance pads have plenty of space to breathe. Sure, the Numark Mixtrack Quad is basically a plastic box, but it’s slimmer, better finished and more pleasing to the eye than the original Mixtrack Pro, which it and the Mixtrack Pro 2 are natural successors to – and that didn’t do too badly!

It also had 16 colour-coded control pads, and nice jogwheels inherited from the Mixtrack Pro 2 (which it is basically the four channel version of). But without Serato DJ Intro in the box and thus the Serato upgrade path, as provided with the Mixtrack Pro 2 (this comes with Virtual DJ LE, due to the latter supporting four decks which the “Intro” version of Serato doesn’t), does it add up to value for money?
