I ordered lots of stuff from hollywooddj.com.... I shiped it to a friend of mine in the USA, and he shiped it to me.... and I'm very satisfied from this site....
and your friends were still charged cause they gave their credit card number (duuuhhh....) and probably wrote their adrress, but the state was a state in the USA........ so the items didn't get to them..... |
Actualy no, they weren't from israel, they are all from USA.. and they didn't get and were still charged for it!
And an EQ on each channel is a very big deal!! it's one of the most important things in a mixer.. if you want to make looooong smooooooth mixes you'll need an EQ on each channel... ask every proffesional and he will tell you that it's a very very important thing!!!
Now abbas.. if you have 250$ check out the Stanton RM-100/RM-80, the Vestax PMC-170a, the Behringer DX-500 and the Gemini UMX9/UMX-7... |

okay..... so about hollywooddj.com, I have no idea why this happens.... I get all my stuff from there....... oh well.... :)
and I make loooooooong smooooooth mixes without an EQ on each channel....... sometimes my mixes last over a minute..... and I never touch the EQ....
oh well........ maybe it's worth trying....... I was planning on replacing my mixer anyway.... I've got it for over 2 years and I think it's time to try something new.....
can you recommend me a good mixer with an EQ on each channel? it's important that it will have at least 4 channels and be 19" wide and rackable....... so it can fit my DJ case...... can you help me?
if you want, you can give me adrresses of good stores in Israel, in the area of Tel-Aviv, Rishon, Rehovot, etc....... |

from what I see, the Vestax PMC-170a seems quite good and seems like its a popular choice by many (not necessarily meaning its good i know)....
what would u recommend out those? |
|

HyPeRSoNiC: Check out the Stanton RM-100... it's a very good mixer with good EQ on each channel, it has 4 channels and it's 19".. looks like the perfect thing for you...
Abbas: The best out of those are the Stanton RM-100 and the Gemini UMX-9.. after that comes the Behringer DX-500 and the last out of those is the Vestax PMC-170... but all of those mixers are about the same level.. check them all out and see what you like the best. |

alonzo: wow! that mixer looks great!!!!
what about the Gemini BPM-500 and the Gemini PS series (700, 800, 900) (as you can see, I love Gemini.... :):):))???????
are those good???? |
|
|
| Abbas |
| yeah the Stanton RM-100 seems pretty good, i like that one |
|
|
| dj alonzo |
Yeah, the RM-100 is a great mixer for the price.. you can't get better than that for that price.
The Gemini BPM series is good, the PS isn't.. if you're gonna buy a 19" gemini then the BPM 500 is the best 19" that gemini ever made.. but the stanton rm-100 is still better. |

yes, I can see that! it looks great! :)
I think I'll get that one. |

| i reckon using the mixers on PC will just frustrate you, nothing like the experience of physical or hardware mixing, such as turntables. But the easiest way to learn would have to be watch others, so talk with your dj mates, or just ask around, |

I think that's probably the best advice someone could get for a start...... I told him to do that. but he told me that he deosn't have any DJ mates......... do you, abbas????
and about the pc mixing, I use a pc and it's not frustrating, as long as you put it in a position that won't get in your way of reach to your other equipment..... but mixing with a computer is great. you can stuff about 378926363283623293683262839623 albums in there.... :):):):) as long as you have a big enough hard drive. :):):) |

I've been mixing MP3s on a computer for a while now, and I can say the results are pretty amateurish and average -- maybe cause my sound card is cheap sh*t. I've been using a program that gives me precise control where and how I want to start mixing, on which beat, etc. I've developed pretty good beatmatching skills even without that, however, because I have a mixer at home (Gemini BPM-150) and I use 2 portable CD players :D Forget pitch-control, it takes like 30 sec. to read the CD fully :D lame, I know, but what can I do? Even with a setup as pathetic as this, I've been able to mix all right.
I'm annoyed by the fact that MP3's aren't that great in quality. You can hear the defects, the slight noise, the range imperfections. I prefer sound that is crisp and magnificent. And because most of what I want to mix doesn't come on CDs, but only on vinyl, I've decided to buy 2 TT's.
My parents are absolutely puzzled by this, my dad went so far as to say "I thought turntables were a thing of the past." When I told him about pitch control and stuff he had no idea what I was talking about, and no matter how hard I tried to convince him I couldn't :D So I don't want to spend lots of $$$, I just want to see if this is what I'd like to do, especially cause I have some mixing skills already. |

Yeah, I can see how just observing a DJ would be so good, but year I dont have any DJ mates, or else I think I would've even gotten into this so much sooner....
I just wanna use a PC cause I can't handle spending that much money on TT's and vinyl, so this is just a way to start out, get my basics of mixing down.....
If I had the cash, I would just went with TT's which would be amazing, but with school starting out now, I definitely can't afford it, so i'll have to deal with what i've got! :D |
