Ordered mine from thedjhookup. Was able to get preorder pricing for $489. Can’t wait to test it out I’ll be comparing it against my SR2. Thanks DJHookup🙌🏼
I've just got my mixars primo and I notice when I try to record a mix theres audio signal coming through on serato, this has not happened ever to me with other controllers and mixers, and yes I have my recording settings on the right ones I can record using serato play but not the mixars primo, can someone tell me why please?
I got a Pioneer DDJ-SR in 2014, dope Serato controller but I've been wanting to upgrade to a DVS ready 2-channel Serato controller like the Pioneer DDJ-SR2, Roland DJ-505 or this Mixars Primo controller! :) How does Mixars and Native Instruments getaway with selling their quality hardware for so cheap, makes me worry a little if this controller is as good as it seems when it has as many features or more than a pioneer DDJ-SR2 and Roland DJ-505 but it cost less! Lol I'm interested in this cool controller but I would've paid $100-$200 more if they added a position indicator display on the jog wheels! it seems to me like every controller under $1000 (2 channel controllers) continues to add more and more features, sometimes unnecessary features, yet they continue to leave out a very important and simple marker or light display to indicate the position of the jog wheel, I don't need a bunch of graphics or info in that jog wheel just a simple marker like the stickers we would put on vinyl records, of course on a non moving jog wheel it would have to be a digital display or light. I would totally pay $600-$800 for a complete 2-channel Serato controller with a stand alone mixer, DVS ready, 8 cue pads per channel, long tempo pitch sliders, 2 effects per channel, good quality scratching crossfader with a curve adjustment physical dial and large jog wheels about 7 inches (45 vinyl record size) with a simple position marker display on them simulating a rotating platter, something simple to look at when scratching or to just know where you're at on the platter when cueing a sound... oh and on a comfortable good size controller, it doesn't have to be tiny & uncomfortable like those small entry level controllers, maybe 24-30 inches wide but light weight since it won't have motorized platters.... with an aluminum casing and some plastic, instead of all cheap plastic like the entry level controllers under $300... that would be the perfect turntablist controller in my opinion, with a turntable or 2 on the side of it! :)
@ Kweku Yeboah... Great question! I need a controller with a built in mixer and it's own power supply for superior sound & lighting on the controller.... maybe a USB powered option when using it as a simple controller for Serato along with the laptop... and the power supply /AC plug when superior sound & lighting is needed... and of course when using it as a stand alone mixer with my old turntables & old vinyl with no laptop. I've never liked the idea of a controller sucking all the power from the laptop and not having enough "balls" because it's being conservative with the power it can grab from the laptop, affecting the sound & lighting of the controller.
I have the SR2 and i don’t believe the sound changes that much. With the power adapter connected you just get a higher output that’s it. Bus powered it’s like any standard controller sound quality.
@ iLL..... I have the DDJ-SR and it's not "garbage" at all, great controller, the only reason I'm upgrading from it is because I have a pair of old neglected Technics turntables that I want to bring back to life with Serato & my DJ controller and also just to have a more professional controller that will still work as a normal mixer if the computer freezes... and this Mixars Primo looks perfect for that... can't wait to get it but 1st I want to see some youtube reviews of it when it comes out! :) I was originally gonna get the new version of my controller, the Pioneer DDJ-SR2 since I like the original SR so much... but I feel like Pioneer fucked up with the new one, they added the cool built in mixer with DVS ready but besides that instead of making it better they didn't change much, it could've been the best 2-channel Serato controller in the market if they added a position indicator on the jog wheel and a longer pitch slider but they missed the boat on that one.... and to make it worst for some lame reason they took away all the crossfader controls that were in the front of the original DDJ-SR, like the crossfader curve dial, that to me was a deal breaker, they totally missed their chance to have the greatest "2-channel" serato controller out there, so now it looks like the Mixars Primo will take that spot! There's also the Roland DJ-505 but I've heard that one is all plastic with no metal/aluminum so it feels like a cheap entry level controller... and I've also heard they're having firmware problems so that one's out of my list, plus I don't need a drum machine built in to my DJ controller, even though it's a cool idea.
@@DJDAMIAN72 It was good for its time. Actually using it is pretty good and the build quality is good but the sound quality and outputs are trash. Finally something comes along in the same form factor with improved sound quality pro outs and at a good price point. Pioneer gear is great but I feel like it's grossly overpriced.
@@@illz09 .... good point about having better sound quality and better XLR outputs, the DDJ-SR sounds pretty good but it's always better to have better sound & better outputs and the Primo supposedly has a better quality sound card, which is dope and it does have XLR outputs! When it comes to the price though I thought $600 was a good price for the SR when I got it in 2014... I'm not one of those people who wants everything cheap, back in the day you had to spend some good money for a DJ system with turntables, mixer and tons of vinyl, so you worked hard and saved up your money if you were serious about this, same thing with the people who buy those ridiculously priced CDJs... I actually personally don't like that they're making all these cheap DJ toys for under $500 where any sucka can become a "DJ" for $250 bucks without working hard for it, that's just me though! Lol :D I think any DJ controller or mixer under $500 is basically an amateur plastic toy for kids or for people not really willing to commit and work hard for real DJ gear... but I also think over $1500 bucks for a DJ controller or a DVS DJ mixer is way too much, you shouldn't have to be a baller (rich) to be a DJ either lol, specially when you still have to get other pieces of DJ equipment and a good laptop! I would've been glad to pay like $750 for the Mixars Primo if it turns out to be dope & the perfect controller for me... but now that I know it's $550 I'm not paying a penny more than that! :D
I doubt it. Many djs have been wanting a 2 ch controller w/full pitch slider along w/DVS options. And it’s been rumored the jogwheel indicator will be featured in a firmware update. I have the SR2 and I have to agree this offers a lot of features the SR2 does not.
Top Italy in the world ❤️

L. D. It’s been rumored the jogwheel indicator will be added in a firmware update.

That’s dope, then I definitely want this controller! :)

Does this Controller being Bus-Powered mean less powerful sound? Cuz the SR2 's sound output changes dramatically when its connected via USB only.
Kweku Yeboah Primo has a plug in power supply as well
