I am going to buy two turntables and a Numark mixer. But i have a problem. I have just enough money to buy these toys and i wanna know something about KILL Switches. There is a Numark mixer: DM 2000X and DM 2002X. The 2002X has KILL Switches but costs 50 dollars more. Are KILL Switches very usefull, or do you think i can beter buy some good records for those 50 dollars???

THANX FOR HELPING!!!!

I own the dm2002x too and i LOVE the killswitches
they cut a part of the sound entirely (bass mid hi)

i use it in every transition like this
cut the bass on the new record
mix it in
when both records have a kick and maybe a bassline
i cut the bass on the old record and turn on the bass on the new record

this makes transitions soooooo damn smooth

even if the bass lines are different?
i would think it would sound quite simply like one bass line cut out and the other cut in, a good ear could tell the different bases.

of course you can tell the difference but it's the same effect that you get when a record starts building up and new elements come in

at least when you mix in a non-melodic part
when you mix 2 melodies thru each other it all sounds pretty messed up heheh
well i don't spin too melodic trance anyways harder stuff for me

yah melodic trance doesn't leave much room for mixing except before and after the melodies. I have heard people mix in the middle of melodies, and when done right it sounds amazing, when done any other way.. like how i tend to do it.. it sounds.. well u know =)

DONT GET the Kills man.........U should buy records If u eventually get in to clubs , they dont usually have Kills...so Learn to use the eq straight away dont waste time on kills might as well go straight to the equalizers...

True, Eq kills are really not neccessory,.And i bet if you do get the mixer with kill switches you are going to have a habit of keep using them over and over again and blah blah =X ., go for the eq only setup.

Hey,
i like vestax mixers, and i was wondering what is the cheapest but good mixer that has kill switchs?? yea because i also agree kill switches make transitions more smoother and give it a more professional touch....Very handy...so yea what cheap but good vestax mixer anyone??

I think i go for the Gemini's XL-500, new. Not sure, ut i think that is what it will be.

I still dont know what to do. More people say that i have to take the one with the KILL switches but i know that Nastra Azzuro know much about DJ'ing. So i still dont know what to do
