| Originally posted by Clovis Those reasons are not my issues with it, but the fact that people buy into those as selling points is what puts most of us off. The fact that trance DJs use it is less of a slight than the fact that people use that to argue that it is superior. The fact that it has a flanger doesn't bother me at all, it's the truth that it is mostly over-used, and should NOT be considered a "plus" unless you like cheap effects. Of course its subjective, but we're discussing each person's subjective opinions here not universal fact. RJT may present his posts in ways that lead some to think he believes his opinion to be absolute truth, but its really just his opinion. It remains that people often like one or the other for similar reasons, and it was pointed out that people who are very conscious about really mixing music and fine blending generally do NOT prefer the 800. You can mix a great set on almost any of these mixers, but when it comes down to preference, the reasons why certain people choose one over the other are very telling and reflective of who they are as DJs. |

| Originally posted by JD8180 but you see, a post like this in the first place i'm sure wouldn't have caused all the ruckus that has happened in here. i have no problems with RJT or anyone in this forum, but it just seems like he bashed at every single post that woody would make, and quite offensively rather than a more neutral approach like you just did. it really all boils down to what you enjoy. some people when djing enjoy more the long transitions and very smooth mixing, where as some like to be the effects whore. i have a friend who owns the djm800 and constantly throws in effects, which personally i don't like, but i can't tell him it's wrong. if i told him to stop using effects completely, it would probably take the fun out of djing for him. there isn't any one right way to dj in all respects. the djm 800 is most definitely the more "commercial" product, but it's not just straight up garbage. everyone is into their own different thing. |

| Originally posted by miamitranceman I almost fell out of my chair. The frequency adjust on the 700 is hard to discribe in words. It's one of those things you have to demo I think. |

| Originally posted by drEamer that seems like a pretty cool feature, wonder why its not on the 800..... |

| Originally posted by cmay119 What, and undermine all the customers who bought the 800 before said upgrade? That would be a very bad decision on Pioneer's part. More likely they would just make a new model mixer to replace the 800 (DJM-1200?) |
And yet the filters still have no resonance adjust on either mixer...making them far less useful. 
the filters on the djm700 are decent...nothing spectacular.
ive been wanting some better control over the filters, so i found an alesis modfx philtre on ebay. which i ended up getting. i know a while back there was a big hype over them on TA. can't wait to recieve it.
