Mixer Question
View this Thread in Original format

I've recently purchased an American Audio CDI 500 and I will soon have a Pioneer CDJ 800 in my setup also. Only problem is NO MIXER! :( I'm still looking around trying to decide what to get. I've been looking at a few:

American Audio QD5

Pioneer DJM 300

Numark Matrix 2

I'm just starting so I don't need anything really complex. I'm probably going to spend around $300. I will also be using this more for mixing NOT scratching. I'm not sure if any of these are meant to be used just for scratching. Any suggestions would be appreciated. :)

why not look at vestax 275, 3 channel mixer with a fourth line so u can either add an effects box or have another deck on board, so u could have 4 decks eventually attached, how cool is that, and prolly for the same price or near to the ones u stated. Hope this helps. :gsmile: :gsmile: ;) ;)

If you have to choose from those 3, I would say go with the Pioneer since Pioneer is obviously better than the other two choices and it rocks!! Also, you have to consider what type of dj-ing your going to be doing. If its private parties, you might need a four channel to accomodate the mics, turns, cd players and wtever else. If you just messing around with dj-ing, I would say pay a little more and invest in a Vestax.

I will eventually invest in a better mixer, but for now when I'm just starting I don't really see any need to have more than 2 channels. I was thinking about getting the djm 300 anyways, just because it was the most known/popular mixer on there and I've heard good things about it. Thanks for your input guys, if you have any more suggestions don't be shy. ;)
