using a behringer djx700 at a gig tonight...tips/tricks?

subject pretty much says it all. anything i should look out for? thanks.

one of my buddies has this mixer. i go and spin at his house all the time.. my first time seeing this mixer, i laughed my ass off. but honestly, it really isn't bad. i wouldn't buy one myself, but i'd have no problem playing a gig with it. the onboard effects are pretty shitty. a few are decent if used sparingly but i'd just stay away if i were you. the mixer itself, though, is pretty decent for how basic and for it being a shitinger

the effects will sound like ass on a large enuff system. in fact they'll sound bad on a small rig too so dont use them.

Stay away from the effects. It has the exact same layout as the DJM-600, but be weary of one thing:

The sliders and knobs are not linear, they are more exponential than anything else. So the most movement happens between 7-10 on the sliders, and most of the movement on the knobs occurs at the extremeties of the knobs (+10 and -10).

That is the only thing I would think about when using it.

also...i have experienced faders leak if moved rapidly in a range of 7-10 (fader=1-10)the sound would cut out on the L or the R channel randomly..
so here's the tip/trick

1. take a djx-700
2. unplug it
3. install a Pio/Vestax/Denon/Stanton/Numark

+1,

but if not, bring an air canister and clean those faders out...at a club I can't imagine how much that thing will bleed

how did it go?

what an awful piece of shit it was! the highest i was able to set the highs was at about 10 o'clock on the knob. when i had them at +/- 0 they were ear-piercing. the faders and crossfader were terrible. the effects were, in fact, useless. wow behringer, you suck.

At this point I'm happy with my Numark.

on the contrary, i found the 18 months i learnt on the 700 taught me heaps. any mixer is so much easier to use in comparison

yeah, dont listen to all the supposed experts on here always ready to bash brands theyve prob never touched. i have a numark 5000 & for $900AU its a great piece of equipment. its all $$ versus performance. in my limited experience numark have found a nice balance.

Yeah, I thought that was pretty funny.

Ok I have a problem...

I have a behringer djx700... and well

my out put for my headphones only puts out for the left ear... its broken!

I like the mixer but anyone hear of this?

you sure its not the headphones?

wooo





i own one





*looks at*




i really should turn it into a cup holder by cutting holes in it with my Dremel tool.

BUT I NEED A NEW MIXER FIRST


THE CHANNEL FADERS ON IT ARE NOT LOGRITHMIC! THEY ARE LINEAR!

They sound horrible if you are trying to do a smooth fade. Be careful.

you can take off the faceplate, just take off ALL the knobs and faders first

And yes, my djx 700 faders were logrithmically sloped...I "upgraded" to a numark matrix 2 and I am WAY happier than with the djx 700 POS.

Then why don't mine sound logrithmically sloped? Or am I just the biggest idiot on the planet.

WHAT IS LOGARITHMIC AND LINEAR FADER???
WHICH ARE MORE SMOOTH???
I have a Numark DM1050 and as far as i understand, the faders are logarithmic, cause the sound level goes up too rapidly on the 7-10 mark..

info anyone?
what about Denon DN-X100? its got VCA faders with faders and x-fader curve customization..
*noobish tears*
