Iv got the 500, had it for over a year now and its awesome, not just because of the nice faders and eqs but the effects are awesome once you tame them and know when to use them. Once you get the balance between using them to much or not using them you can get a lot more creative with your mixing. On the 500, decay n flanger are sweet when used well, having said that there shit when used badly ie scot project live at ssl, KILL THAT FLANGER!!!! I think the best tip is try and use effects while your in the mix, you can often use them to compliment build ups or to highlight changes in tune.

And the reason is?
I'd go for A&H xone 64 for $890..

That all the clubs in Sydney use the 600 and i want to have a good understanding of the mixer. I'm sick of not understanding how to use other mixes, it's annoying cos in dark places, it's not easy to learn in the space of 3 minutes. The shop doesn't stock Allan & Heath, pioneer is tested reliable. And I can't buy overseas cos the power settings will be wrong and i don't have the effort to go out and buy power adaptors for all my stuff. I also like having a sampler. My other mixer has one and if used well, they can be quite effective. I also have tacky tastes and enjoy the cheasy sounds of the flanger.

Reason enough for you

The flanger doesnt have to be tacky, rather than using one of the predefined LFO settings set it to 6400ms (this should work if the time between each beat is 400ms). This draws out the flanger and is a lot more effective. Shit i shouldnt really be telling everyone this, even scot bond doesnt do it and it sounds loads better than what he does with the flanger.

What can i say? I love my djm 600 to bits also. I was sceptical about buying it at first, but now i am glad i did. I got it with my 2 technics 1210 mk3d's and the set up is just awesome.

I am a technology freak tho and i got a good job so i went out and bought 2 pioneer cdj-100's and a tascam x-9 last week.

Imo the x-9 and djm 600 are the best mixers ive ever had.

nomiz, I got it from one stop deejay. It was the last one they had. They've been trying like all buggery to get them in but there's a big wait apparently. I think pioneer is trying to replace them with the djm-3000. I gotta say, it makes mixing easier, having eq's that do something, cross faders shorter than my arm and connections that don't bleed sound everywhere
