Well, the time has come and my friend has picked up the DJM-400 and i am mixerless. I have a stanton sk six but im really scared of hooking it up to my large speakers since they have a hiss on my little monitors.
My budget is around $1000 but i want to try and keep it under the grand mark. I REALLY want an ecler evo4 but man its really expensive.
My options from research are:
Mackie d.4
Ecler Nuo4
Korg Zero4
I would love to have a 4 channel mixer, but if there is a really nice 2 channel mixer setup i would love the feedback. Im kind of weary about the Korg because of the build quality.
I like effects, but none of these options have them besides the korg.
Suggestions?
Oh.. if anyone wants to sell me their evo4 for under a grand im all ears

I would love a 42.. i cant seem to find a good used one though. The empath was one of the first ones i was looking for but the ones ive found are usually blue haha.

I would get the 62. Actually I did get the 62, but I would get it again.

I really want to feel the zero4 before i decide to get one. Im hearing horror stories about build quality, but i love the features that it comes with. I might spring a little extra for the nuo5.

Why would he want a 42 or 62 if he liked effects? They only have filters...
From what you want, I suggest the Korg Zero 4 or the nuo 5.
why not just get the DJM 700? Should be below a thousand...

I have been using the Empath (Black) for 4 years now and works perfectly. The black ones and the Grandmaster Flash signature editions are easy to find.
The only replacement I can see fit would be a Rane 2016.

Go for it. It's awesome. That Kaoss Pad is sick, 100 effects. My uncle has one and every time I play with it i feel like a 7 year old school girl.
edit: neither my uncle or I have experienced any problems with it so far so I don't know. I feels pretty solid if you ask me. The only thing I can complain about it is no digital out.
Xone 62 for $600. Spend the next $400 on an EFX or a Kaoss pad if you want effects. More flexible than a mixer with built in effects, assuming you think the effects loop will be adequate.
