Next week or the week after (I dont know yet) I will be spinning at a club which has this mixer. I went to the DJ booth yesterday and I saw that mixer I didnt have a chance to take a closer look into this mixer.
Have you ever used one? Should I be worry.
Also They got denon 4000 and 6000 cd players. Will I have any problems with them. Im used to cdjs1000/800. Should I brind my cdplayers?
thanks

amazing mixer
no split cue so be aware if you are used to using that.
denon 4000/6000 are ok- not the most reliable of the denon range, but usable, looping on them is ok if a bit hit and miss at times.
If you feel comfortable use them- if not take your own.

im doomed
1. No eq's
2. No gains
3. Can only cue one channel at a time
4. No level meters
5. No crossfader
or should i bring my own mixer too and connect it to one of the urei's channels?

its workable, just gotta pay very close attention to the monitors when mixing to keep the volume stable.

Yeah it's not as hard as it seems.
One tip: Never mix to "10" on the channel faders, always mix to a max of about 7-8. This will give you headroom to compensate for gain mismatches. It is also supposed to provide the best sound quality from the mixer.
If you need it louder, use the master volume level control.

the first time i played on a 1620, i found it very difficult since i use my eqs so much. it takes a little geting used to and if you are playing in a club, id recomend bringing something you are more comfortable with.

Bah! Bypassing a 1620 for your own mixer? Blasphemy!

Never using one before, u better bring your own mixer or one your more comfortable using. Its bad enough playing a new venue with different gear, especially one that makes u mix completely different than what your used too. Yea yea Urei's sound great, but he needs to be mixing good or the best sound qulity in the world isn't gonna help him make juggling beats and bad mixing sound good.
