Amazing !
By Mach Joe
The other reviewer rated it down as he got a lemon and got frustrated that his numark hasn’t come back to him?

Well anyway, I had to return it once myself before I got the right one but just the product itself is amazing. I didn’t buy this from amazon as I felt that these things are better off hand picking from a store… I loved every aspect of it.

If you want to get good at scratching, this is it. The unit boasts about its easy interface, loops, cues etc. You are in control. Check out the videos on youtube for more info. I’ll post a video review soon. Thanks.

Fun…. Till it Breaks
By DJ Rockit
I purchased my NS7 in March 2010 and in August the strip search on my unit started to malfunction. I called Numark support on 8/13/10 and sent it off. My NS7 returned to me on 9/9/2010. BUT when I open my box, I realized that my unit’s platters had not been tightly secured, and had been flopping around while loosely threaded on the spindles.
While testing my returned unit, I noticed that, A: My platters now wobbled, did not feel the same, and my left deck made a squeaking noise when back spinning quickly. AND, B: The original problem with the strip search had not been repaired. So….
I called Numark and got a new Return Authorization and a promise from a manager that it would be back to me quickly, and that it would be tested before leaving this time.
It’s now been almost 12 weeks since I originally sent off my unit and I’m losing patience. I can tell the phone techs are growing impatient too (its getting harder to get them on the phone). I’ve been told that my unit is repaired and it’s in testing. Maybe I’m over reacting but it has been “in testing” at the factory for over 3 weeks. Now I’m wondering if my unit will be the same, and if not, what will happen then?
Probably more of the Numark service department telling me what I want to hear, and blowing me off.

Amazing book, but misled by amazon yet again
By RadicalDreamer
As an owner of Dream Theater’s first keyboard anthology, this book had a high reputation to live up to. As far as the book itself goes, Jordan seems to have gone above and beyond for us. Contained within this tome are some of the songs I was disappointed not to see in the first book (longtime fans will likely squeal with delight when they see “Space Dye Vest” is finally transcribed here!), and each song is preceded by an exercise concocted by Jordan himself, focusing on a particular technique used in the song in question. I have only skimmed these so far, but they look like they will help greatly in mastering these signature dream theater keyboard styles. Couple this with what so far look to be spot-on arrangements, and no sections with only snippets of songs (as they did with the “six degrees” tracks on the first book), this book can be highly recommended to anyone looking to master a challenging piano piece.

So, why four stars? The first issue is totally personal preference, so don’t let it deter you: I’m not personally a fan of “The Ministry of Lost Souls” (to explain quickly: while both the softer parts and the proggy bridge are individually nice to listen to, I feel that the bridge unnecessarily breaks up what was otherwise a fun ballad, while the bridge could have easily found a home in a more proggy song), and think that its position in the book could have been taken by a much more awesome DT song (I’d really like a tab for “Strange Deja Vu”, “Trial of Tears”, or ideally “Hell’s Kitchen”). This is completely personal preference, as I said, and I know many people do enjoy Ministry. No biggie.

The second problem is also not with the book itself, but with Amazon. Like their mixup in the description for DT’s “Full Score Anthology”, they have once again gotten the track list wrong for this book. To my extreme disappointment, “Lines in the Sand” is not actually in this book at all. This is one of my absolute favorite songs, with one of my absolute favorite keyboard parts (along with the HK intro), it is one of the main reasons I snatched this book up the minute I found it online, and I was very sad to see it not included in the book. I can only hope that another keyboard book will be put out (I’ll keep buying them!) that will tackle this amazing song, and hopefully the other songs I suggested earlier will be included as well.

So that’s it! If you love Dream Theater, love piano, and aren’t afraid to work very hard to perfect these songs, you can’t go wrong with this purchase. Keep buying them so Jordan keeps publishing new ones, please!

DO NOT BUY! Proprietary garbage manufacturer.
By Timothy Erk
To have lyrics work, using the USB port, the files have to be in one of 2 CAVS PROPRIETARY file formats!! The rest of the karaoke world uses CDG, but noooooo… CAVS has their own proprietary version of “CDG”, so you have to buy it from them! I have gone through hell and wasted so much money trying to convert my library to work on this device, and nothing will work.

I was even trying to transfer my library from ANOTHER CAVS machine, and it won’t work! At some point they decided to change file formats. I spent money on software to convert my library, which the software said it could do, but apparently there’s a whole mess of different decryption keysets necessary to decrypt all the different types of .ncg files CAVS made. So now I’ve spent a whole bunch of money on their equipment, and third party software just to get this machine working, and I still don’t have lyrics.

Aside from all that it looks cheap, out-dated, runs very slow, and the user interface looks like it’s from 1984.

I’m going to sell my unit and take a loss on it. Don’t make the same mistake I did. Just get something else that works universally.

Takes a LONG time to Load
By R. Perry
I don’t really trust the quality of CAVS players, but it’s the only one I’ve found that will play the Super CDGs. This is my 2nd one. The first 203g crapped out after about 2 years of very light use. The disks would just stop playing in the middle of the songs, the load/eject drawer would get stuck and not open or close. I sent the 1st one back to CAVs to repair. The repair job was going to cost more than I originally paid for it. This latest one works ok. I have a Terabyte drive connected through the USB port, I copied my Super CDGs to the drive and have about 4000 songs on it. The one pain is that it takes about 10 or more minutes for the 203g to get going. It is “INITIALIZING” forever. Who knows why it does that. I have only had this for 3 months, XMAS 2009 gift to my wife. It hasn’t crapped out yet, but that doesn’t mean it won’t.

DJ Player Extra-Ordinaire!
By Song Bud
Before I bought this player I was using 2 to 3 CD players to keep my music rolling and carting around all of my CD’s with the rest of my DJ equipment. Now I can leave most of the discs at home and only carry the specialized music for weddings or parties that I will be leaving with the hosts. I use this player with a hard drive that has all of my discs loaded onto it. The player itself loads up quickly and I have access to over 10,000 songs, by number, while keeping my CD’s and CDG’s in mint condition. I’ve been running this player 6 nights a week for a year and a half with no glitches, it runs great! I’ll be buying another one soon to add to my system.

The result of spacious exploration into the needs of professional DJs, the TTX1 deftly combines unmatched torque, unbelievable precision, and the world’s firstborn interchangeable tonearm design for optimal performance beneath all conditions. The turntable is sleek and attractive, with an ergonomic housing that weighs a hefty 28.6 pounds and accommodates the requisites of both beat mixing and scratching setups. It’s distinctively built with a solid core to fight vibration and undesirable noise while employing an anti-drag aluminum platter to reduce friction. The platter also boasts a quick-start setting with 6.2 lbs./inch of torque, even though the begin may be adjusted, as may the brake system.

It’s the tonearm assemblage that in truth shines, however. The tonearm is made from die-cast aluminum and is compatible with both S-shaped and straight tubes. DJs may use an S-shaped tube in conventional mode to mix and blend tracks, or they may turn the deck 90 degrees and attach the straight arm for scratching and battling. The latter setting is made more user-friendly by the beveled left-hand edge and the pair of stop/start buttons. Users may likewise swap the pitch fader with the control buttons for further accessibility.

DJs will delight in the backlit LCD display, which not only informs them of the motor’s direction, but likewise includes tidbits such as the platter speed, pitch adjustment, key lock status (which changes song tempo without affecting the key), and beats per minute. Speaking of turntable speeds and pitch control, the TTX1 supports 33-1/3, 45, and 78 rpm vinyl and toggles amongst a pitch range of +/- 8, 10, 20, and 50 percent, permitting the DJ to mix endlessly with few restrictions. Additional features include switchable phono and line outputs, an S/PDIF output for digital devices, and an illuminated output bay. The assemblage measures 18.1 by 5.3 by 14.6 inches (W x H x D) and carries a two-year warranty.

What’s in the Box
TTX1 turntable, right-angle IEC power cord, right-angle RCA cord, S-shaped tonearm tube, straight tonearm tube, phono cartridge, warranty card, user’s manual.

Great turntable for any style of DJing
By Travis Carney
These are great decks, and certainly hold their own against the industry standards. I’ve also got a pair of Technics (SL-1200M3D) that I’ve had for years. No complaints with those, of course, but I picked up the TTX1s so I could have a pair set up battle-style and more suited for scratching (straight tonearm, etc.).

Right out of the box, I could see that these were well-made turntables. The construction is quite solid. I believe they even weigh in slightly heavier than the 1200s.

For the price of these, the range of features is amazing. Here are some of them:

Selectable pitch control range (+/- 8%, 10%, 20% and 50%) – I tend to stick with +/- 8 because that’s what I’m used to with the Technics, but for the occasional crazy mix, it’s nice to have the option of greater range. The turntable also has a key lock feature, which allows you to adjust the tempo while the pitch stays the same. This is a very cool feature that CD DJs enjoy, so having it available for vinyl is fantastic.

Interchangeable tonearm – The tables come with both a straight and an S-shaped tonearm. They are very easy to switch out, but to be honest, I don’t find myself changing them a lot. I just stick with the straight configuration, but for someone who might be using these for both turntablism and conventional DJing, the ability to switch would be great.

Designed for battle-style use – For those who like to work battle-style (the turntable positioned so the tonearm is in back rather than on the right side), the TTX1 is designed to easily accommodate that preference. As you can see from the photo, there are two start/stop buttons, so regardless of which way you have it turned, there will always be a button right where you’re used to having it. Also, the pitch slider module and the RPM selection buttons module are interchangeable, so you can position the pitch slider to move up and down while in battle configuration (rather than having to adjust the pitch left to right). When you switch these controls, the LCD display automatically rotates so all of the info is still easily readable; a very nice touch.

Adjustable torque – Two thumbwheels on the turntable allow you to adjust the torque of the platter as well as the braking force. Compare this to the Technics, where you had to take the turntable apart and adjust some potentiometers with a small screwdriver. While on the subject of torque, I should mention that the TTX1 is insane in that department. The motor is quite noticeably more powerful than that of the Technics, and the start/stop times are phenomenal.

Output options – The TTX1 allows for three output configurations. You can output a phono-level signal (like most other turntables). This tends to be the cleanest signal because it’s more or less a straight connection to the cartridge without going through the signal processor. The turntable also has line-level outputs (more like a CD player). These go through the internal signal processor to enable effects like the pitch lock feature. I have mine set up like this, and cannot discern any degradation in sound quality from the phono configuration. The third option is a digital (S/PDIF) output for use with a digital mixer or a direct connection to your computer.

I am hard-pressed to find anything bad to say about this product. There are a few minor things, but they’re not big concerns. Here are the cons:

The left side of the turntable has a curve to it, which would make the turntable difficult to fit into a standard coffin case, if that was your preference.

The 45 adapter that comes with these is a light plastic thing, so I tend to use the solid metal ones that came with my 1200s. There’s no place on the turntable to store the adapter, which isn’t too big of a deal, since most people won’t be spinning a lot of 7″ 45s these days anyhow.

The turntable doesn’t include a shell (dust cover). The TTX1 isn’t really designed to sit on top of your home stereo anyway, so that omission isn’t a big concern.

Overall, this is a fantastic turntable, and well deserving of the five stars I’m giving it. It’s worthy to stand up there with the great decks from Technics and Vestax. I’m quite confident that these will give me many years of reliable use, just as I’ve come to expect from my 1200s.

One final note: As of this writing, the product photo here on Amazon depicts the TT1600, and not the TTX1. To see what the LCD and other cool features look like, check out the Numark web site for the correct photo (they call it the TTX, and not the TTX1).

not a Technics, but second best
By Anomen
very good table for the money. if you aren’t going to spend almost double for a Technics M5G, the best table ever made, then this is a valid alternative.

has more “bells and whistles” than the Technics, including a reverse feature, amazing pitch range (from +/- 8% up to 50%), and phono/line out switch option. however, the pitch fader just isn’t as smooth and precise as a M5G (but then again, nothing is). i’ve owned a pair and was quite happy with them.

solid decks for a low price
By Peter W. Dematteo
well, i’m upgrading from the numark pro TT-1 and these are much better. the motors are much more powerful, forcing me to adjust mixing styles. The interchangable tonearms are neat, though i haven’t really gotten into using them yet.

Awesome bass fx pedal
By BigBo’m
I’ve tried all bass synth pedals and this one is the best! Fantastic fat moog-type sounding effects.

It tracks notes beautifully too, unlike others that can be a bit sloppy catching the notes off your bass.

You will have a lot of fun with this little winner! Think of the bass sounds in the songs ‘Lets Groove’ by Earth Wind & Fire and ‘Jive Talkin’ by the Bee Gees and you’ll get an idea of the type of sound it produces – that fat analogue Moogish-type synth bass effect.

Check out the Electro Harmonix website YouTube links too to get a better idea.

The one thing that would make this bass fx nirvana would be the ability to store program pre-sets – even just maybe 3 would be great, but then it would probably be bigger and cost a lot more.

I REALLY like the fact that it incorporates faders too, instead of knobs – makes adjustments easier and quicker, and you can see instantly your settings (especially on a dimly lit stage).

Construction is well thought-out and rugged – the switch feels sturdy and solid.

The product that I have gotten was not and is not the product that I ordered, the picture and the specifictions that companied the item do not match the object that I have in my house. It clearly shows that there is no ipod dock in the picture nor in the specifictions, and yet the mixer that I have dose have that area. In conclution, not a good buy.

Did not get what I ordered.
By Anthony
I ordered this dj set because i had this exact set years ago. When the package arrived it was not was pictured or described on the website. Instead of the Dj turntable Package, I received the iDj. What makes it worse is the Turntables were belt driven. Not sure if the picture and description were wrong or there was a mishap at the warehouse.

Gets the Job Done w/ No Problems
By Bart T. Borkosky
I use this (as one of 4) hanging from the ceiling in a conference room. I have had no problems with it. It does what is is designed to do. It delivers pretty crisp sound — I am recording discussion groups, so it is all talking with no music or singing. For my purposes, this is a really good value.

The Lavalier Secret
By S. Webb
I was reluctant to go with the cheaper, battery operated lower end Lavalier.
So, I bit the bullet, and paid [...] bucks for this Pro 45.
Mind you I am blessed to have a Locker full of exotic and pro hi end mics, so I know a good mic when I hear one.
-1st In the box, and paperwork inside the little red Box, there is no mention of lvalier. It is however, a PRO XLR connector,
2- It is Phantom power (no battery)
3- It sounds incredible!
4- There is no wireless issues.
5- It is hide worthy, and built sturdy enough to do the job capturing nuance.
6- has a 20′ connection is beautiful.
7- For video, I am running this into a decent pre, and it sounds like Big time Network television. A few more bucks, but I feel like i have another decent mic in the collection.

Happy with this for a New cast type Lavalier use. If it works for you is a matter of taste/ style/ use/ opinion. For sound quality, This, on the lapelle with a goof gate/ expander, I should not even be writing this secret !

Have fun.

Great Hanging Mic for the Price!
By T. Brittain
This mic has tons of useful applications – orchestras, vocal, other performances. I have used this mic for everything from string sections to comedy performances. The sound is great but it picks up whatever is going on in the vicinity of the mic – for example, when hanging for an orchestra make sure that any air vents are not in the vicinity and make sure that any air streams don’t cross it’s path or else you’ll end up with a crazy wooshing sound for the price. Other than that, this is a great product in the price range, I have found that you really can’t go wrong with Audio-Technica products.

Nice Player but product description is not clear
By RBG
The description of the player was silent as to whether or not the player comes with any microphones, and as a result I separately purchased two microphones. To my surprise, when I received the player, right on the box I saw a picture of two microphones which apparently came with the player and were included in the price of the player. I paid overnight shipping the for the extra mics I bought and am hoping to recover the shipping charges from Amazon since had I known the mics were included with the player I would not have ordered the separate ones.

Also, for those who are buying this player, throw out the audio/video cable that comes with it and use a better quality one ([...] has plenty of cables that cost nothing)

Lastly, be sure to adjust the audio volume on the remote to get the mic and music volume to match. The music sound as defaulted on the player is way too loud and therefore you can’t hear your voice through the mic.

Otherwise, I think it’s a decent player.

higher expectation
By D. Jacobs
This unit plays the discs and the video output seems good, (I’ve only used it to play karaoke graphics so not a very good test of the video). It definitely seems to speed up and slow down the tempo when you change keys. I wasn’t expecting that. We also had to turn the mic inputs to max to really hear any voices over the music from the speakers. I guess I had much higher expectations for this unit’s promo and could probably have gotten just as much entertainment out of one of the less expensive units.

Great customer service
By gamer-t
We received the player in time to put under the Christmas tree, but unfortunately it broke (totally) after 1 song on Christmas morning. Despite the disappointment, the customer service from Vocopro was EXCELLENT. They sent a UPS label immediately and we got it boxed up for replacement within 24 hours. We also couldn’t get our disc out of the machine, but they handled that at their warehouse. It’s rare that we encounter such friendly, prompt, and professional response. I can’t comment on the player as yet, but the company is great.

Also – like the other review, we were also about to order mics and then canceled once we received the player (with the 2 included mics). This should be clarified on the product description to save the expense.
