hey, its still nice now. A&Hs are MORE than just nice.
but hey, i reckon the DJM600 has lived quite a good life, and you can still rock a crowd with it. |
Your forgot the Nuo5, X1500, Empath, and X-9 are MORE nice too. |

the only thing i would say about using battle mixers for edm mixing is that on the decent battle mixers, the crossfader is really really smooth and light. e.g., the stanton SA- series with the penny & giles x-fader, the vestax PCV crossfaders, and the optical crossfader (like on the DJM-707).. my pcv-275's x-fader i can literally blow across, only problem being is if you dont mix using the channel faders and constantly have them up, the slightest knock could send the x-fader flying to the other side making a complete balls up of the mix...
there would be nothing wrong with buying a 707 for edm mixing, it just seems silly because for that kind of money you could buy a Xone 32 which would be much more suited for mixing |

| If you don't use the crossfader to do mixes (which you shouldn't, but you can if you want) then you won't have that problem. Good luck finding a Xone 32 for $300 bucks. With the Xone you won't be able to scratch right either. With a battle mixer you can do smooth mixes and you can scratch so thats why I like them the best. |

I haved nothing to add to this thread other than to say that the Tacam X-9 Mixer is awful, not even in the same league as the DJM 600 |

| I used it at a bar once. Didn't have any problems with it and the crossfader is much better than the pioneers POS crossfader. |

are the 707s $300? when i wrote that i checked the htfr catalogue and it was £489 which was only £10 less than the Xone 32 which was priced at £499 |

| I know when I priced the 707 here in the states after the rebate it was $300. I Xone 32s were the same price as 707s here I'd reccomend the 707. |

anyone with some real experience of this mixer? what would the be the downsides of it for a normal trance/prog dj? and how is it better than the djm-300 for a normal trance/prog dj?
i got quite interested in this as i figured i could get this so god damn cheap it's not even funny, but i dunno if there's any point in switching my djm-300s to this one really, as there's really nothing too much wrong with the djm-300s.

I would perfer the 707 over the xone
I think you just go for the name when choosing a mixer. 707 is better than the xone |
