does Numark NS7 function as standalone mixer?

anyone?


getting a bit P***sed off with my denon mc6000 because the play button is already not working right after about 4 months

so just wondering ... should i get an NS7 instead? but if it doesnt double as a standalone mixer then im up shit creek if my laptop needs to be rebooted ....

No, but the NS6 does.

Actually, sort of......there is an Aux/Mic input, but no to be safe

is that going through the software? or straight to the master

Likely the master.

If by "standalone" you mean plugging the NS7 into a computer via USB, the computer running ITCH, and playing whatever you can load onto ITCH's decks... Yes, the NS7 functions as a "standalone" mixer.

actually what i mean by standalone mixer is

computer has a problemo, and i need to shut it down or turn off the DJ program, but i need music to keep me ticking over until i restart.......... so i have an iphone plugged into an input, press play on iphone..

for example, if there is a dodgy powerline and somebody hits against a plug or a cable, i may not lose sound, but i may lose controller functionality
this requires a restart of virtual DJ which i use at the moment.

currently i can do this with denon MC6000 without problems , i can continue to play music through it as a mixer, until the DJ program, or computer is ready to go again

can that be done with NS7 ?
for the money i would hope so !

it has an AUX input that in an "emergency" you could run another deck, or whatever you had into the 1/4 inch jack.... it is not ideal by ANY MEANS.. but would work in a pinch...

I have a NS7 and I LOVE it... but it is what it is as well...

i got the Ns7 .and yep i like it a lot

but unless im totally mistaken that is actually NOT the case
the Aux goes through the software so there is in fact no backup at all in the case of an emergency

Actually, if the NS7 is not connected to a live computer, the Aux-IN/mic will route directly to the output...

EDIT: On the other side, if the NS7 is connected to a computer, ITCH has to run for the Aux-in/mic to route to the output.
