How to destroy a Numark Mixtrack Pro 2 from Getinthemix part 3

0:00 This is my little boy Blaze, and he's got Mixtrack Pro 2

All right, ladies and gentlemen, this is my little boy Blaze, and he's got Mixtrack Pro 2. It's all very dirty, so I'm going to give it a clean, and this will be video number three.

The idea behind these videos is to see how far I can go. Now, of course, any piece of kit, if it gets dirty or somehow something goes wrong with it and you think you can fix it yourself, that's what you're going to do. So, what I'm doing now is I'm getting rid of the mess that I got on this from taking it for a little bit of a mountain bike ride. And then video number three will be all about Blaze helping me. Now, it's not, it won't be ready yet because I want to make sure it's thoroughly dry and make sure I do give it a thorough clean. But this guy here is about video number three. So, keep watching.

Good boy, you clean it as well. That's a good boy. There we go, well done. Give it a clean there. Can you clean it there for Daddy, please? Thank you. Good boy. Well done. Don't put it in your mouth. Not in your mouth.

Right, so video three is going to be about just leaving it in the front room and letting three children do whatever they want with it. All right, so this is my little boy. Blaze, who is about 18 months old and what I'm trying to do here is simulate, let's say if you left a piece of kit out in the open for little fingers to grab hold of. What are they going to do with it? What are they going to tip on it? Are they going to sit on it, jump on it, stand on it? It's entirely up to this little man. Blaze, do you want to do dance on it? Stand on it. Can you stand on that for Daddy? Do you want to stand on it?

Do you want to stand on it? Go on, jump on it. Go on. Go on, jump on it. Dance. Can you dance on it for Daddy? Go on.

Go on then. What are you doing, Mr Moo? What are you doing? He's got a nappy on. Diaper. What do you think, mister? Eh? What do you reckon? Was that good fun?

2:46 Blaze had to pull the stickers off and the stickers are

Fair dues though. Blaze had to pull the stickers off and the stickers are... on the centre areas, so they've only just come off, so that's not bad. Well done! Do you know where they go? Good boy. Right, so in video two we did drag it through a field and of course that wouldn't happen under normal circumstances but maybe the simulation there was just having water tipped in it and whatnot. My advice there is if you do get any water tipped into your Mixtrack Pro 2 I highly recommend you dry it out thoroughly first. Not just leave it over a heater for about half an hour until the top's dry. It's got to dry internally as well so some of the water could have gone inside, so what I did was I turned it upside down and I left it in a very warm area for at least three

Hours. So what are you doing mate? Is that fun? Do a dance! Do a dance!

Oh brilliant beatboxer.

You missed. And finally my partner Yvette Brooks is now going to drop it down the stairs, there we go. OK let's see what happens, let's see if it still works. OK video number three, let's have a look on the underside. There's the original number, couple of scratches there you may want to make note of for future videos and two tracks I'm using. Left hand deck is Lenny Fontana Moment of Love the Epic Vocal Mix, on the right hand side Lenny Fontana Futuristic Club Mix track entitled Weekend and Mixtrack Pro 2 touch sensitive on the top and you can nudge on the side when you're in scratch mode. So what we'll do first, first of all very important is to make sure that there's no bleeding of a track from the one side that's playing to the other side that isn't playing.

5:26 I'm going to move it up and press play

So for example. I'm going to move it up and press play. We should of course hear that with the crossfade over, take the crossfade to the other side and we shouldn't hear it which is precisely what should happen if the crossfade's working really well. Now this has been dragged through a field trodden on by my little boy and chucked down the stairs, alright slid down the stairs, alright so I'm going to pause that one so now we've got no volume coming through there, I'm going to press play, we have volume coming through the other side. As fixed. As to be expected and as to be expected with a mixer or any sort of controller that works correctly we shouldn't hear anything which we don't unless we start bringing the crossfade

Over. Now again, we've just got a nice increase in volume, there's no abrupt spikes of any description which is good, top touch sensitive flat still works, nudge still works when in scratch mode. Disengage scratch and now we just nudge, the whole thing is nudgy wudgy. And the other side let's have a look, same thing, cool bass, treble, cue it up. OK we'll try the pitch now, I'm just going to bring the track Moment of Love close to the end and then we'll mix this one in. We'll see what the pitches are like, I'm going to do a bit of wacky stuff with the pitches, here we go. Seems fine and dandy to me. OK there you go, video number three, thank you very much to getinamix.com for letting me do this to prove possibly how indestructible the Numark Mixtrack Pro 2 is, practice and

Enjoy it. Thank you.
