quiet you two, no fighting here please.
but i must point out, Hollen, if you do have the mixer then why did you reply:

i heard that the mixer was a cheap peice of shit. the quality of the wiring was poor. you get what you pay for |
It was definitely fun learnin on this mixer. THe innaccuratte LED's made me match volumes with my ears. Also, you need to be real gentle with the volume faders. Because of this, i found that the crossfaders works better.
DKNYLade: You say u get good sound quality with this mixer? Well, I have a soundblaster Live Value and Stanton 500AL-II's. What soundcard do u have? With my setup, the soundquality was utter crap. I think i will be investing in a pair of ortofons soon to fix this problem. However, i did master it with izotope ozone and once i listened to m mix over and over again.. it did sound pretty pleasing to the ear.
true. sorry guys. i meant that i heard other people say its shit - not including my opinion. but i just dont really like it too much. i dont like the effects on it. but i really cant complain. i saved money buying it. its not like a need some thousand dollar mixing to practice on.
yeah it might be your needles, or even the speed of your computer can affect how it sounds. also your cabling , and if you put it in the correct input (you prob did). mine sounds fine, but i do have the best carts out there 
if you want to hear how it sounds you can check out any of my mixes made after tribute to brain. (that was with a crappy stanton mixer, and still didn't sound too bad)
anyway, yeah that's the way i look at it...why would i spend $1000 on a mixer (Namely the dj-m600) that does the same shit i need the behringer to do, just a little better. i'm not running a club here, it's just for recording sets, doing radio shows, and my own enjoyment. i need the rest of that money to do things like, uh, eat. (and by eating i mean buying more records)
yeah man, no probs here. Didnt ever notice it getting hot. Bought mine about 3 or 4 months ago, runs smooth like butta. dknylady convinced me to get it, good recommendation. Listen to her sets, she kills. FX are kinda lame, but eh, who gives a crap. EQ and kill switches are pretty nice. Other than that theres no real bells or whistles, except for the crappy BPM bull. I just put a piece of tape over the readouts. They distract me.
i will buy one
ahaha jesse your pic cracks me up! haha! glad you like da mixah. we gotta spin soon!
why does everyone complain about stanton al-500's getting crappy quality when they record?? i used the al-500's to record my first two mixes and the soudn quality is fine. nothing amazing but the sound is clear and somewhat loud. only aabout a week and a half ago i got two shure whitelabels and i've been using those. i think the al-500's are decent needles, its prolly just all of ur mixers/soundcards that are horrible.

Well i can 'honestly compare' the two because they do the same damn thing basically.
did i not say the pioneer does it better? uh yeah i think i did. i've also used them both.
i also explained, in detail, my reasons for choosing the behringer. if you're pissed at me for saying it, why don't you just send me over $800 so i can get the pioneer. thanks, i'll be waiting.
hell i just realised that after a month of usage, when i use the faders in the headphones, they crackle. its only on a particular channel(4). it doesnt affect the mix in the monitors, just in the headphones.
anyone else have a similar experience?
is that deemed worthy of a replacement set?? only trouble is i have to travel all the way to singapore=(

| Originally posted by dknylady i've had mine for a while now (since october i think) and i have had no problems at all. i don't think mine gets hot...but when i mix the only thing i touch on it are the faders and knobs, not the back of the thing. the sound quality is very very good. when i record into my computer it sounds great (i do have an awesome soundcard and ortofon concordes though) the effects are kind of useless, yeah. it's true that they aren't loud enough and when you use them and turn up the effects volume, the song is turned up. this is bad so i basically never use them. anway the faders i found a bit tricky at first, you have to use a real gentle touch on them! but they are good! (i don't ever touch the xfader) i only have 2 channels used (no cd dex) so maybe that's why mine doesn't get hot? one issue i have is the levels, it will say the levels are the same on both your channels but when you listen to what you recorded it does't sound like that. or maybe i just need to check my levels by ear. great mixer, i'm happy to have it. it works great for me! |
soon to be an owner of one
Hey all, check this thread, its an update on my mixer's quality...
http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...12&pagenumber=1
I haven't had issues with mine. I don't use the effects or anything, so its not an issue. I do have issues with the upfaders not doing anything until 7 or 8. I think it would help if I had better monitors though. I won't blame the mixer just yet. I am fortunate that my crew has a djm-600 and a tascam x-9 when we play out. I wanted more money for records, which is why I chose the 700. I would do it again.
you know i have noticed some slight hissing when there is no sound input.
but from reading this thread i bet it's the grounding or the cables. i have old cables.
no problems from this mixer as of yet...
