Pioneer 909

Hello guys i just need a little help on figuring out what Mixer i should get with the 2 CDJs800 That ill be getting.. i was heading more towards the Pioneer 909 but i heard its mostly for Hip Hop djs and since Im more into trance then im in a dilemma . What Mixer do you guys have in mind with the CDJs 800?

Or should i just hang myself and go for the Pioneer 909

All though iv never used a 909 heaps of people have said its great because the faders and eqs are all top notch. If you try search you should be able to find some info on here.

the 909 looks excellent, but if your spinnin trance maybe an xone way the 4 band eq's would suit you better! iv got a nuo 5, but personnaly if i was to spend that amount of money again id maybe go for the new Rane 3 channel rotary way an efx! a bit more expensive but it does look crackin!

the 909 is a good all-round mixer though so it would still be suited for playin trance

You can mix just fine on the 909, but I think its overpriced. Might look at a four channel mixer like the Nuo 4 or 5.

the 909 is best suited and aimed at scratch dj's . Eddie Halliwell uses it. so unless your playing style is similar to his i would advise againts it. 4 channel mixer is much better imo

Pioneer DJM3000 if you wanna have more sound effects.

909=scratch

Well the 909 was designed as a scratch mixer it is basicly a 2 channel mixer with a shitload of effects built into it. The faders and everything are all top notch in that you can edit the way they work in order to better suit ur style. Im currently using the younger brother of the 909 the 707 which is a class mixer. The method in which i mix is closer to halliwells thus i went for more of a scratch mixer but i could imagine it for mixing trance. Also the way the efects are incorperated into the mixer allow for allot of creative elements to be added should you be looking to go into that later on. Im actually thinking of getting a 909 just becouse of the posibilitys that it opens up. If ur just going to be using 2 decks id suggest the 909 but if you want to add stuff later on and dont plan on doing anything to fancy the mxier perhaps it would be worth it getting a 4 channel mixer. Also one of the things people dont consider when buying equipemnt is how it relates to the club their going to be playing in. If ur not bringing ur own mixer along and its allot differnt fromt he club set up their can be a bit of a learning curve. Iv been lucky in that iv developed using a variety of mixers. Thus iv grown used to the mixers in clubs as well as the ones that iv had at home. But still if ur gonna be getting the 909 inless ur bringing it to the club the skills that u get using the effects will probly be useless when playing out.

909 is mint. Everything is as smooth as possible, nice clear clean top quality audio. Send/Recieve even if there are effects built into the mixer (Xone doesn't include send/recieve). It'll surley do trance. The EQ are the best thing on the mixer

Besides the crossfader

iv havent been on the 909, but apparently the effects are awesome! much better than that of a 600 or the nuo 5. but as i said i havent had the pleasure of mixin on one yet

Whaaaaa? My 92 has two, count 'em, two Send/Returns.

Having said that, the 909 is an excellent mixer, suitable for any type of music/mixing. It is a bit pricey, though. But it sure is fun to use.

Uh, the 62 also has a send/return.

I thank you for letting me own you.

Then allow me to own you! Aux Out to Input 1 or 2 = S/R. Thanks, no really.

Still...that's not send recieve dumbshit. It might work...but it's not send/recieve.



Maybe you need that big of a picture to see it.

Actually, that's exactly what it is, dumbshit. See all the Aux knobs at the top of each EQ section?

Trogdor is correct. Just because it isn't labeled as send/return it serves the exact same function.

Send/Recieve is a dedicated channel for efx.

Aux is for other shit

I guess it could be used for efx...but say you have 2 instruments that need to go into it. Is there a dedicated send/recieve channel?

Just gonna take a wild guess since i haven used the zone but i beleive the aux is just another word for send/return aux stands for auxilary as in another output to conect external processors (studio equipement works like this). Then u use the dials at the top label aux as sort of dry/wet gains. Just a guess but i beleive thats how it works.

Sorry for butting in,

but wat's the significance of a send-recieve function?

It allows you to add effects from an external unit to any channel on your mixer.

It IS used for effects. It's hard to comprehend what you're asking, but I think the answer is: if you have other instruments, those would go into line inputs. So, yes, you still have a send/RETURN. Although some mixers have two S/Rs for two effectors, such as the Xone:92 and the DJM-1000. The Xone:464 has four.

Actually, it is send/return but as intitially the A&H people haven't made it as straight forward is it all dependds on how you do your wires at the back. It's actually more advanced than your average send/return as it can be used in more ways depending on how you wire it up and has more of a proffessional studio set up. The bottom line is that it's more versatile if you know what to do with it but it's still send/return but by another name.

Because the original Xone mixers were designed for clubs that didn't only have DJs but live acts, this function was primarily set up for things like delay or reverb but as DJing effects have become more advanced it is now applied to more. You can actually download the manual from A&H's website where they actually refer to this function as send/return.

Sorry, not trying to get into oneupmanship or anything, I do however have a Xone464 and have effects running on it.

ok ladies lets get back to the real subject in this thread shall we.

pioneer 909 i've used it its nice very simple to use (well if you aint a dumbass any mixer is)EFX are spot on. there alot clearer then on a 500/600 for example if you use the flanger on a 500/600 it likes to add some more bass to your track so that means if you are half way through a mix and you activate the effect then your levels will be all to shit and as soon as you deactivate it your gain levels/output levels = db's will be lower then what you started with.

its about time pioneer sorted that out though they should have had it sorted out when they released the 600.
