Yes you want all the bells and whistles found on the aforementioned mixers, but need is a different matter. It has a subset of the core features of the current slew ( DJM-S9, Mixars DUO, Rane Seventy Two, Reloop Elite) of Serato turntablist oriented mixers to distill down an affordable specification that ticks all the necessary boxes for the majority of users. I find that the Numark Scratch is an uncomplicated mixer that does exactly what it looks like it should. little digging into Serato DJ Pro preferences usually gives a few answers too. There has certainly been little need to dig into the manual to work out the stuff that should be immediately obvious.

Which brings me to the Numark Scratch in front of me. But I’ve missed Numark, and am thankful that while it has adopted more of a budget position, it is still alive and kicking, and bringing products that people will want. The stream of goodies from inMusic stablemates Denon DJ and Rane has been strong and largely excellent. The list of my personal favourites from the brand is long, but in recent times Numark has been quieter than normal. It’s a brand with a long heritage, stretching back before I became a DJ, and has continued to deliver things I like a lot since the dawn of skratchworx. “Why not” I responded.Īnd verily it arrived. “Want to do an exclusive review on our new mixer?” enquired Numark’s marketing team.
