mixers

Hi everybody,

I'm a starting dj and would like to buy a good quality mixer. i've done some research on several site and I'm interested in the following 3 mixers:

Pioneer DJM-300

Numark PD01

Stanton RM-100

Does anyone knows something more about these mixers, if yes which one would you recommend for me( I play progressive/house/trance).

Other recommendations or tips are also very welcome.

Thanks in advance,

Jerry

This is a (VERY) good Mixer for 429�. If i was you, i'd go for this one.

the PPD01. A pretty good scratch mixer, not that good for techno.
Also, a higher price scale. 569�.
but, people seem to be vey satisfied about this mixer.

Bah, i don't like this one very much.

Jerry, if you are a starting DJ and are playing those genres which are pretty much same as I do, I suggest getting at least a 3 channel mixer, trust me 3rd channel is handy, so already disregard Numark PPD01 and DJM300, Stanton RM100 is a 19" mixer with effects loop and I don't think you need to spend extra money on that unless you are going to have an external effects processor. I suggest getting Numark Fusion Series Matrix 3, or something like Behringer VMX300 which is half the cost and excellent choice for beginners to intermmediate level DJs. PM for Price Quotes, I work for ProAudio online shop. Cheers!!!

yeah, the behringer VMX 300 is a pretty good mixer for starters. 250�

What else do you recommend, I've got $ 400,- to spend!!

thanks,

Jerry

get 2 behringers!!
no, seriously, i suggest u get the behringer, and keep that 200 extra dollars and spend it on something else like vinyls, or carts

well, ya, not a bad mixer. It has these little effects that no1 ever uses, so, that's included in the price too huh... And, I don't think 400$ will be enuf, cuz here they cost 450-500�...
I'd really suggest the VMX300
