Any thoughts on this mixer? It's a budget item with kill switches, eq's, the basics which I'm looking for right now (2 channels). Has anybody used this mixer? If so, would you recommend it?

It's a decent mixer for starting out for its price. I had one and used it for over a year until recently upgrading. It's far from smooth but it gets the job done. The crossfader is pretty bad though, if you attempt any kind of scratching at all for a short period of time it starts leaking and cracking. For mixing it's fine, as long as you use the channel faders. The cue fader on mine also had a small leak when you put it all the way to one side, you could hear a little of the other side, but it wasn't loud enough to complain about. If you're looking for something to start out with for mixing, it's fine and I'd recommend it.

I'm not really starting out, I'm just seeking something simple and cheap with EQs and kills. I never use the fader when mixing or scratching techno anyways so I don't think the fader crappiness will be a problem.

I had the Stanton smx-201 for about 9 months until I picked up the Numark dm1002mkii at Guitar Center for $90. From the very second I turned this guy on mixing has been a lot easier for me.

The kills are good, the eq is good, the only dumb thing about this mixer is the transform button. It's kind of un-needed and sometimes you will hit it on mistake causing silence in your mix.
