How to destroy a Numark Mixtrack Pro 2 from Getinthemix part 4

0:00 I've undone all the screws

Right, ladies and gentlemen, this is the last video in the instalment because I don't want to break the thing for how can we destroy the Newmark Mix Track Pro 2 from getting a mix. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to open up the back now and as I've always shown you in the last videos, there is, sorry, the serial number and I'm now going to undo all of these screwy bits. Right, there we go. I've undone all the screws. The screws are unscrewed and they look a little bit like that.

Right, I've also taken all the knobbly bits off the top as well.

Right, here we are inside the Newmark Mix Track Pro 2 and not very interesting at all. Then again, this is modern day technology. You know, years ago it was moving bits, it was moving parts, it was sledgehammers. It was spoons, rattles, hums and grease and oil. Nowadays it's a circuit board with about three pieces on it.

Well, at least I do things like this so you don't have to. I don't advise you to open your Mix Track Pro 2 up at all. In fact, if you do open your Mix Track Pro up, it's highly likely you'd buggy a warranty, so don't. The one thing I have noticed though, there's still bits of dirt left in here.

The circuit board. Which you see is here and there and there. And we could take that off as well, but I don't want to do that.

1:45 I've also got my trusty helper here, Blaise, who's going to

Of course I do, I'm going to take it off. Hello. What do you think Mr Moo? I got you. Exactly. Right, I've also got my trusty helper here, Blaise, who's going to... Are you going to help me make this not work, Blaise? What do you think? Yeah? Hmm. Okay. Right then, it is completely pulled apart and let's just hope that we can put it back together. And it works! What do you think, Blaise? There's your pads, LEDs that go around the platters, gain, volume, crossfade, and bass mid and treble, effects, pitch... There's your pads, LEDs that go around the platters, gain, volume, crossfade, and bass mid and treble, effects, pitch... Can we fix this? Well you can hope so. Hmm. Right, pretty much done it ladies and gentlemen.

There it is, it's back in one piece. And I do have a problem, I do apologize about this. I do have a problem, and it's about... One of those things are screw. Let me explain. I have pulled apart the Mixtrack Pro 2 here. Here. And I put it back together. Now there's a problem, because I have found the screw. Now I'll explain. Whenever... I don't know if you have the same problem, but whenever you pull something apart, doesn't matter where you are, you could be in a sealed room with no carpet. You will lose a screw. One will disappear. It physically disappears and it hasn't happened this time. Every single screw I've found. So that is the screw that would have disappeared. So I'm going to have to... I'm going to have to throw it away.

I can't, I'm sorry, I cannot physically put something back... I can't do it mate. I cannot physically put something back together again and have all the screws there. So it's gone, right? So now it's missing a screw. All right. And the screw went in that hole. What are you doing? The screw went in that hole there. There you go. So I've got rid of it. Done. Right, now we're going to plug it in. There is the program. Serato DJ Intro. Track I'm using is Lenny Fontana Weekend. It's the Futuristic Club Vocal Mix and there's a controller. Touch sensitive platter at the top, nudge around the side. When in scratch mode, when you disengage scratch, the whole platter is used for nudging. Right, let's have a look. You can definitely hear a change there.

Also just notice the wave format. How? The wave format gets closer together when you speed it up. That's because it's getting faster.

5:21 I'd pretty much say it still works

That does seem a little bit sticky, but then again, it has been dragged through a field backwards. Oh dear. Well, not literally. All right. Well, I'd pretty much say it still works.

I think I'm going to not try and destroy it anymore. All right. So the Numark Mixtrack Pro 2 still works after goodness knows what's been happening to it. No one can say it isn't a good piece of kit. That's really why the Mixtrack Pro 1 sold so many. And what I'm going to do is there is a lady out there who is starting, I believe, some form of music school in Aberystwyth. She knows exactly who she is and this is going there. Of course, it's only going there because it still works. If it didn't work, they wouldn't have it. So this is going to be for you and I will say practice and enjoy. Thank you very much. Oh, by the way, there you go. There it is still the same one. Thank you. Practice and enjoy.
