U Mix Control PRO From MIXVIBES Video 1

0:01 Something quite exciting about this

Alright guys, video number one on this piece of kit from a company called Mix Vibes. It's called the Umix Control Pro. That's the box and there's the item. In video number one, hopefully I'm going to talk about something quite exciting about this, but also it's just mainly about showing you the item. Right, the box comes with its own software. There it is. It's called CrossDJ, the full software version. So it's the full software version! Also comes with destructions, USB and two RCA cables. So firstly this guy here was made May 2011. It says that on the back. One thing I like to do first of all even before plugging anything in is give it a tap, give it a shake, give it a prod. What does it feel like? Does it feel tacky?

1:31 We have metal, we have plastic, but it feels good

Or does it feel as though it was made on a Monday as opposed to a Friday? We have metal, we have plastic, but it feels good. It feels solid as opposed to something that feels as though it's been made with about five pieces of plastic and one thin wire in the centre. The controls are solid as well. The up-faders have got a nice sort of push to them. You know, you've got to... I'm going to force them, but they do feel as though they will take a lot of wear. And what you would expect, the crossfade... The DJ Tutor has got a smooth feel too, so if you're into scratching, cutting the crab then there's a lot of bounce there which I like. The jog wheels feel very solid. If I push them from side to side, if you're familiar with a vinyl turntable, SL1210 etc., if you put your finger either side it wobbles. Well this guy here doesn't at all. Alright, the jog wheels are very small.

But they're very, very sturdy. Pitches feel good. All of the buttons, the dials, the knobbly bits just feel very solid. If we have a look at the back, we have an input for 6V, 1.5A DC in. Power, we can go directly to that power input. We can go off or we can go into the USB. Output 3 and 4, output 1 and 2. Touch sensor level, min-max, min-max, right and left. Now I believe that's touch sensor where the jog wheels are concerned. Quote me there but this is video one and we're just having a general overview. If we go then to the curve, we've got a curve feature there for the crossfade so that's fantastic. So if you are a scratch turntablist then you can set this as you like. Switch there. LNPH, LN is for line, PH is for phono. So we have an input there for 3 and 4, an input there for 1 and 2, line, phono, and we've got that guy there is earth. So if you want to, you could plug in some CD players or vinyl turntables in this as well. Right, this is where it gets quite exciting.

At some point in the near future, I would like to give this away free, gratis and for nothing. So once I've done my bit on it, someone out there, doesn't matter where you are around the world, will have this in front of them. I don't know how we're going to do it, but it may be just as simple as subscribing to the likes of Mix Vibes and just leaving a comment. I don't really want to start doing competitions where you have to ask questions or anything like that because what I want to do is just give this away for free. So in other words, you could have loads of kits, you could have nothing. It's just a case of maybe subscribing and leaving a comment, period. But once I've done my thing, this hopefully will go to someone, alright? So there you go, video number one on this guy here from Mixed Vibes. More to come, and if you want any more information or any comments or any questions, answers, maybe you just want a cup of tea, then stick it down there in the description. And also, I will put a link to the Mixed Vibes
