Over the last few weeks I have been playing with my latest toy, the Numark OMNI Control which I have been using for my Digital DJing kick. Lucky for me I won a football pool this year which afforded me a few extra dollars to spend and I am glad I purchased this device with my winnings. It has been a true pleasure to devote some time to learning how to use the OMNI control and I have to admit, I am now officially hooked on making mixes and pretending I know what I am doing.
Being a novice, this was a relatively inexpensive way to get into the game without blowing mad duckets on some wheels of steel and a mixer. While this is not the best device in the world for scratching up your favorite songs, it can be done but I now see that eventually, I will need something from Serato, with improved platters as opposed to the JOG wheels native to the OMNI to get the control I crave.
In the interim, this solution provides me with a sweet controller that can be used in concert with the included Traktor LE software to provide a very cool out of the box, DJ experience.
