The Numark Mixtrack Platinum is a 2 channel (with 4 channel layering) entry level DJ controller with an integrated sound card. The stand out feature of the Mixtrack Platinum is the LCD displays integrated into the jog wheels.

The microphone input on this controller is not available to the computer through the controller's sound card. It is mixed with the master output in hardware, so this controller's sound card is not suitable for broadcasting or recording the inputs. If you want to use the controller for broadcasting or recording, a separate USB audio interface with a microphone input is suggested.

Configuration options

Configuration options can be set in the mapping. You will need to edit the values below at the very top of the JavaScript file Numark-Mixtrack-Platinum-scripts.js and save changes. Allowed values are “true” or “false” unless specified.

• EnableWheel: if true, wheel/vinyl mode will be enabled by default (defaults to true)
• ShowTimeElapsed: if true, time elapsed will be show by default on the displays, otherwise time remaining will be displayed (defaults to true)
