ok I'm new to djing and just ordered the vestax pcv-275 mixer. I have read the threads about how it doesn't have a headphone cue, but so many epople have the mixer I thought it wasn't that big of a deal. Well, my question is, for a beginning dj like myself, will I have a hard time learning to beat match with this mixer? Or will I be able to do it. Thanks in advance

Doesn't have a headphone cue? I have a pcv-275 and it has split cue.

It will be no problem to be beatmatch with this mixer.

alright sweet, that's all I needed thanks. I know it has a split cue but you can't listend to just the cued track or just the playing track in your headphones can you?

yes you can, for each channel there is an on/off switch for the cue. You can have all 3 channels in both headphones going at once if you want.

Sorry, I just want to clarify this cos I was thinking of getting the mixer myself sometime soon.

So it has both:
Split cue - where one channel is in one cup and another in the other cup
Mixed cue - where the tracks are in both cups simultaneously (ie all tracks playing in each cup)

Or does it only have split (by my definition above)?

I'm as slow as a canadian today.....

Well one thing that the Vestax PCV 275 doesn't have, and I don't remembering anyone on this board mentioning it, is that there's no stereo master out to your headphones.

It's a minor point, but I'd wish it had it. Currently I'm mixing purely in the headphones - my mixer isn't attached to any other audio outputs. Not being able to hear the mix in stereo is a slight inconvenience. But if you're going to connect your mixer to an amp/powered speakers, then it's a moot point.

Other than that, it's a great mixer. Solid feel, awesome looks, and a fair price.

This mixer does not have a cue pan switch so you can't fade between the master and the cued track. Not a big deal, though.
