Hi all,
I am ready to buy a Pioneer mixer. Which one do you think is the best out there? I am not sure which is better of the two: the DJM 600 or the DJM 909?
Any other suggestions are welcome...
Thanks!

| I think the DJM-600 is geared more towards mixing whereas the DJM-909 is geared more towards the turntablist. Since this is a trance forum I'm going to assume you'd want it for mixing so I'd suggest the DJM-600. |

| Cheetah is right. The 909 is a battle mixer. Is does have alot of the same effects as the 600, but it is only 2 ch. I have a 600 and wouldnt have anything else.... Well maybe not anything else ;-) |

Thanks guys, but I'll rephrase it like this:
What is the BEST newest mixer out there?
What about the tascam x9? |

| Hmm seems like 600.. I would personally like a Rane MP 2016a Rotary Mixer =) :toocool: |

| For new mixers, the Tascam X-9 looks pretty nice, and the Denon DN-X1500 looks cool as well. If it's in your price range, you might want to consider checking out the Xone92. |

| For new mixers, i really heard great things bout the xone92. Also the Elcer NUO-5 is another great mixer. As for the Tascam x-9 and denon x-1500, i personally didn't like them all that much. And pioneer djm-600/909 are good mixers, but imo there are better choices for the money. If i had a choice, i would either stick w/ my Empath or try out a xone92. |

Thanks guys!
Ok, after doing some research it seems the X-9 has more what I am looking for, since I also produce trance music as well and it seems to have the effects, and sound quality I need from a mixer. One thing that I am turned off from the x9 is the slow EQ response that has been reported. Has this problem been fixed? Some say yes, if you do a software upgrade?
the xone92 is out of my budget so I need something in the 1000 range... |

| The problem w/ the slow eqs and faders in the x-9 are fixed in newer versions. but i've heard rumors about locking up and over heating. As for a mixer in the $1000 range really check out the xone:62 (the filters are to die for, plus the 4band eq) or the Rane Empath. (quality over quantity) Plus you can add useless effects later. |

| Yep I'm with DJ Chex...Rane Empath is an excellent mixer. There is too much emphasis on the advertising for the Empath as being a Scratch mixer, and that is wrong, as its more of a Techno/Trance mixer. Compare the Empath to a true turntablist mixer, and you can see its not geared for that. Best 3 Channel mixer in existence!! |

| To me the Empath is like crack. Once you try it, your hooked. It's just a perfect mixer. Plain and simple. |

| How does the Empath stack up against the x-9? |
