I Need A Mixer (djm600, X1500, X9)

Hello, I'm in the market for a new mixer. I need something with 4 channels, and dislike Vestaxs pfl design. I'd prefer it to have a BPM counter, as this is usefull in building the tempo throughout the nite.

I have narrowed it down to the following:

Pioneer DJM600

Denon X1500

Tascam X9

If you own or have used any of these please let me know your thoughts. I'm pretty much stuck, and can't narrow the selection down anymore.

Thanks...

The Denon does have a BPM counter as well. You just need to turn on the effects display and select the desired channel.

The Ecler Nuo-5 looks super sweet, check it out if you have not already done so.

I got the X1500 and haven't regretted it one bit, I have a link to my review in ^^^ that link up there, about half way down, as for the counter, Wraith you do know theres also an option to turn on the seperate BPM counter, so it will display the BPM of the channell you select to cue, so you can have 2 seperate counters going, the internal one and the effects one, I wouldn't use them, but there really fuckin accurate though, but not accurate enough to mix, plus if it was accurate enough, would you still want to, its all about using the best counter in the world, ears and brain, anyway, the DJM is good, but you can get better for less money now, which mainly is the X1500 and the Nuo5, I surgest you check them out, as for the X9, its expensive and a tank, but I have heard many people complain about various things with it.

i had a DJM600, and i love it hopfully i will find out who stole it soon...

but the Effects on the DJM are GREAT!!! and the Beat counters are okay... though i really dont need them myself... but if you really want the added feature they work pretty good
