Originally posted by djshtr the xone 32 is ideally what I want, but the layout makes it hard to switch the middle channels between line and phono. For some rason they placed it on the back(???) of the mixer? Why not consider the Numark 5000FX instead? It is the same price, but gives you all the digital toys like sampling, looping, filters, echo, etc... Another idea is take a lower end 3 channel mixer (not A&H obviously) and invest $200-$300 in an external effects unit. eg a used EFX500 or the Kaoss pad..

I don't support Numark, don't ask me why, I just don't like them.

I was planning on getting an EFX, but since I'm a beginner I'm going to stick to a decent mixer for now and avoid all the effects things so I can focus on getting my mixing skills down pact first. Then I'd either get a DenonX1500 or an EFX500. But that's later on. For now, I think I might just get the Xone:32.

Ok, speaking of mixers, a guy I know has two of them. Both Numarks. The Matrix 2 and the Matrix 3. Anyone know anything about these mixers? are they worth 350 canadian? One os a two channel and one is a three channel? What does that mean?

Yes, Im a noob, but would these be good for starters?

2 channels for plugging in 2 sources like CDJ's or turntables. 3 channels is the same but with an extra input, perhaps for a laptop if you wish.

Yes they are, but you will outgrow them after a few minutes.

Numark makes decent low-end mixers,.. but don't look at the matrix.. there's much better, such asthe 2001x 3002x etc. I have the 3002x which i'm going to put on ebay pretty soon.. you can probably get it for about $100 US... much better than the matrix...

stanton also has some low end gear that should be half decent to begin with... dont waste 350cdn on a matrix!
