You might not want to hear this, but save up a bit more.

honestly, if you buy a mixer for less than $500 you will just have to buy another one soon anyway.

you may as well just save a bit more. I would suggest you go for the Vestax PCV 275, it cost me $300 american.

or, if you really need one now, i would suggest this one:

Examples?

well, i don't think they are all bad at that price.

you can get this bad boy for only $30



that's about the worst mixer in the world though.

this one is really good though

http://www.pssl.com/bitemdetail.tpl...002072616012634


$350 american though.

I have heard some people like these

I don't know.. some people like the behringer series..

*shrug*

after an exhaustive search, i found nothing under $220 american that i would want to use, or wouldn't want to upgrade from. that's why i decided to get the vestax. i will have it for a long time, and i think i made the right choice.

overall, if you are going to get a cheapo model.. then do some research and make sure it has a warranty.

Where is this DJ Depot man?

what's wrong with numarks? i don't think they suck that much not to be mentioned... doesn't have to be rane or vestax to be a good one.

numark 3002x & matrix 3 are quite nice (+below 500$)

what do you guys think?

I heard the Stanton RM-3 is pretty good. It is about $250 american, don't know what the hell that is in canadian.

Ecler mixers are awesome!
these puppies last forever ...

I don't know about the one you showed .... but I used to have the following ecler and it kicked ass ... I don't have it with me right now cause I have all my stuff stocked in another country damm it ... that's why I'm getting all new equipement in the following weeks

and it's actually cheap 350 USD!



ecler smac pro 30 link ... look at the faders! they are so sweet!

Yeah, those angled faders are neat looking..
i don't quite get why you'd want them though?

anyway, that is still over #350 CDN.

there is this numark:

I guess it would be OK, but i have never liked numark mixers, they just feel cheap.

I would stay away from the stanton RMS3 i have head bad things about it.

there is also this stanton:

http://www.pssl.com/bitemdetail.tpl...002072722482026


optical crossfader, says it's adjustable.. i'm not sure, never used one of those.

I used another stanton though, and it was totally for scratching, the curves on the fader and cross fader were super sharp, not really suited to trance..

*shrug*

I looked at all these mixers, and i knew that i would want a new one, unless i got one a bit better.
