Greetingz To DJ's All Over The World....here's what I have to say

Numark: looks fancy...wears out very fast !!! (I have the DM2002X and the channels are static like mad sometimes, also the fader doesn't fade that good anymore..and I HAVE USED IT LESS THAN A YEAR !!!)

Pioneer: QUALITY !!! But F*** Me...look at the prices on those things!

Vestax: Never spun or used...the sound is probobly good, but somebody said that it wears out fast...so that's def. a bad quality !!!

Allen & Health: *DROOL* !!! Look at that big one forgut the model...Groovetech Radio in London uses it, sounds very proffesional, and deffinetly worth the money !!!

Gemini: No Comment...I think they are worth than Numark, but it is sorta reliable.

Rane: (the once with no fader) good for trance...and that's probobly it.

ALLLLLLRIIIIIIIGHT
That's all i can say...THE FOLLOWING HAVE BEEN MY OPPINION AND OPPINIONS OF DIFFERENT DJ'S WORLD WIDE, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS...please make it quick

PS: I don't have a dream mixer...due to my economical situation

thanks guys for clearing thinngs up about this one...

As I said, I didn't know anything about the quality of this thing and didn't consider buying it. But I like the set-up. The placement of faders, crossfaders and stuff is just the way I would build it.
Now, j_spot I don't know if you have very thick fingers , but I can see how it sucks if you can't get them between the eq knobs. That's what I hate about the (in Germany) oh-so-popular Rodec 180. When I play with the bass eq, I turn on/off the PFL switch cause it is so small there
NEway, I'm not considering buying a mixer soon. I'm very satisfied with my KME DJM 1. It's my third mixer and I still can't believe how durable the crossfader is. With my other mixers (one was Ecler), I had to replace the X-Fader every 6 months or so. Now I have the KME for over 4 years and it's still perfect

If anybody remembers the thread I was talking about in my first post, please post a link here. THANKS

Guys, just to set it straight, Pioneer are not so great.(it ryhmes so it must be true....)I have a friend that asked me to go out and buy him a DJM600 with his money. I advised him against it (it was not available everywhere then it was so new) and told him to wait and see what people who had used it (myself included) said about it. He wouldn't, so we went out and bought one. Looked nice, felt O.K. (a mixer this much should feel fucking orgasmic), had fx, blah ,blah,blah. I ended mastering it (he still hasn't 18 months down the road) and found the fx to be limeted (prefer separate outboard fx) and on large sound systems the mixer has a noticable delay (not good for this price). four months along (carefull and seldom used) the headphone cue pan develops a crackle (which can't be replaced or fixed easily) and the main faders section has to be replaced 2 moths later. IF you want my opinion, but your mixer from a company that specialises in DJ/High end audio only.
MY OPINION GOES LIKE THIS:
Allen & Heath - the full lick, in terms of dj mixers it don't get much better than this. Good build,great sound, solid, great feel, good layout,great eq's etc. but expensive.
Vestax - Good quality (apart from x-faders but get the dealer to throw in a spare one if not two), good sound to noise ratio, good build, great eq's/ kills, decent layout, nice face panels (replaceable). I wouldn't use the pmc115mk2 (I used to own one) unless you're a mobile jock (unlucky!! heheheheh) for trance/ house go for the PMC170a or 270. It has niiiiice looooong faders and sensible layoout with eq's and kills!!!
vestax are still slightly expensive.
Numark - havn't had much dealing with but gather that theyre ok for the mula.
Kam - same as above but better value for money.
Behringer - decent but don't bother (unless youre a mobile jock and need 7 channels) vestax or even allen and heath area better bet to save up for.
citronic - not so great qualtity but do try hard with the functions. O.K for the money
Gemini - not the best sounding (still O.K), but good functions,good layout and great value.(the best choice for those on a budget)
Hope this has helped.

hi..do u need the crossfader curve adjust?? do u scratch?? if not go for the pioneer djm 500...exactly the same but without the curve adjust..is one of the best mixers ive used!! although the pmc 270 is sweet as too..

I've read all your dreammixers, and I am still glad with my own mixer. It just works, always. And, i think this is a good mixer for a normal price with great specs...

The best mixer ever is: The DATEQ APOLLO, I use it 4 1 year now, and he's great, I love the mixer
