Whether your music is on CDs, MP3 CDs, USB flash drives, iPod, your computer, or even other analog players, you can mix and perform with it all using the Numark Mixdeck. This guide walks through how to setup your Mixdeck with the included Serato DJ Intro software.
I faced a problem where my controller was not sending any output over the speakers. I finally solved the problem and thought you would need it as well. Serato DJ Lite comes with Practice Mode that doesn't require any hardware. A great way to get started and see what DJing is all about. If you then buy hardware (like a DJ controller), Serato DJ Lite is still free while you continue your journey. Stream millions of tracks. Here's a quick demo to show you how to set and trigger Loops across your tracks in Serato DJ Intro. Take a look and give it a go yourself. The file size of the latest installer available is 22.2 MB. This free Mac application is a product of Serato Audio Research. The bundle id for this app is com.serato.intro. The most popular versions among Serato DJ Intro for Mac users are 1.2 and 1.0. The program lies within Audio & Video Tools, more precisely Music Production.

Driver Setup
Before you plug in your Mixdeck, download and install the latest drivers for your Windows or Macintosh computer from the Mixdeck product page.
Note: The drivers will be packaged in a .zip file. You will need to extract these files before running the setup.
- On Mac, you can just click on the .zip file and it will extract itself.
- On Windows, right-click the file and look for the option that says Extract All and select an easy to access folder. We typically recommend choosing the Desktop.
Once extracted, run the Setup file to install the drivers. This is a crucial step, as the drivers are what enable the Mixdeck to communicate with your computer.

Serato Studio is beatmaking software aimed at DJs, and it’s a great tool for making DJ intro edits of songs you’ve got in your library. One of the most useful edits to make is called the “intro edit”, which makes songs easier to beatmix. (Check out all our other free Serato Studio tutorials at Getting Started With Serato Studio – Free Tutorials.)
Serato Dj Intro Vs Lite
What is an intro edit?
An intro edit adds eight to 16 bars of a simple beat to the beginning of the song. This makes it easier to mix into. It’s important to add eight or 16 bars because that will allow for correct phrasing in your beatmix. These are some of the simplest edits to make and ones that you will end up using over and over again in your gigs.
