Meh....

For the cost of what it'll probably be, I'd rather take a lemur.

looks like shit

This way, whatever the small screen displays can be displayed on a bigger monitor so you can see it better. It does add another monitor to the booth but I think it could benefit.

I think the problem with the size is not that you can't see it, it's that with the size of your fingertips, it doesn't provide a practically wide enough range for operation. What you could do with a knob (great control over how much you turn it, both in terms of speed and accuracy) might not be practically possible (i.e. a swipe with your finger might result in a much greater effect than you desired).

I still want one of these:



but the DJM 2K seems worth looking into, as well.

Things like this just make me depressed i can't afford them.

I see a lot of annoying white noise effects in our future.

hahaha.


while having the EFX options are nice, how many of us here really use them on a consistent basis i'm wondering?

i hardly, if ever, use them.

I had effects on the DJM800.

I never used them.

I swapped it for the Xone 92.

I now miss the effects.......

I use effects. They can spice up your set and, in addition to track selection and mixing skills, can help differentiate you from all the other DJs who just play tracks (which is very important today when everyone and their dog is a "dj"), especially when playing live. I have heard wannabe DJs who overuse a certain type of effect and it's annoying as hell, though. Once in a while I'm guilty of giving the filters (and sometimes delay) too much attention love those things

filters and delays are the only thing you really need

The only FX I really use these days are a slow reverb build (to build anticipation) and a little bit of Traktor beatmasher (subtle, though... I don't try to make it sound glitchy and crazy, just use it to repeat a beat once at the end of a phrase every great once in a while.)

I don't know about you guys, but it looks like a fucking children's toy.

+1

I use echo quite a bit, if you transition and have to cut vocals or a melody you don't get a harsh cut off.

I use delay almost never, I can't seem to find a situation where it doesn't sound like shit. I'm probably not using it right.

Pioneer 2000 doesn't look too bad, although I probably would rather get a xone , the 4 eq = FTW.

Buy it here now? in stock?

$2000 Toy. I can't wait until I hear six FX over each track. really. I can't wait.

I think I'd prefer to drown my phone in LSD and rave to it's final sonic overdose.



but "-0.004 total harmonic distorion" and "pioneer mixer" in the same sentence?

ha

haha

HAHAH

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Six effects? Why would you ever need that many. How about leaving the music the way it was recorded? Hell, I don't even use that many in live sound.

What's behind this statement?

Which part of the joke didn't you get:

"pioneer" and "0.04% total harmonic distortion"

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Cracks me up everytime. Maybe when it's switched off.

Seriously, a lot of audiophile amps don't offer figures that good.

Pioneer have done some good things, like their excellent CDJ's or bringing FX to the masses for cheap, but sound quality is simply not one of their fortes.

Vestax, Excler, Rane and Allen and Heath are all above pioneer in those stakes.

btw, I'm a qualified service tech for all those brands.

Vestax? Seriously? From my experience, all Vestax mixers I used sound like shit. Specially the 05 & 07. Ecler, Rane & A&H, yeah, but Vestax? No way.

Ever used one that you'd compare to those in the same price range?

The 05 is $280 and the 07 $400. C'mon now Woody. Pioneer don't even make a mixer that cheap. And that's forgetting the fact both of those are entry level battle mixers, not house or install mixers where there's more a focus on sonic quality.

Try a Vestax 500 or a 580, then come back here and tell me that a pioneer sounds better. No chance.

Cox aint no fool.

I have a Vestax PMC-25 and it's the best sounding mixer I own. Well with one exception, my Urei. I'll have to go and listen to the 2000. I'm all about the sound quality.

Do not fucking tell me you've got an original Urei 1620 (not a soudcraft reissue)

And yes, the PMC 25 is beautiful mixer,
