Don't get me wrong guys.. They are really good mixers, but I don't know how some justify the money on them.

I wouldn't turn one down if someone offered to give/buy me one.. but as previously posted.. Mixers are personal preference...

This was 50% my opinion after reading Tuss's quote.. and 50% plug about my secret new toy coming.. :p

I didn't say it felt cheap all around, just cheap for what it costs.

What do you usually play on?

Hopefully you guys can help shed some light on a sore subject for me regarding this topic.

I just bought a DJM-600 from a friend to act as a temporary mixer for at home and producing my weekly mix podcast...

and there is a TON of channel bleed. example.

cue track's fader is completely down, yet, some of that signal still bleeds into the main output. I.e., a quiet spot in a track, you can head me ing with the cue track.

completely unnaceptable.

Are you guys experiencing any bleed with the Xone series mixers? I played with my friends Xone 92 and completely hated the filter / LFO features. I'm thinking the Xone 62 would be perfect for me.

Can anyone help with input on this topic?

thats just wear and tear.

worn faders bleed, its not the 600 or the Xone, its just crapped out faders.

Xones may (but I'm not sure here) have longer life faders, but a new 600 and a new Xone will bleed the exact same amount (none).

yup, no matter what faders WILL bleed after time and abuse. thats why faders are replaceable.

Oooh... can't say i'm feeling ya on that one... I had rotary on my older Vestax and swapped em out for the faders...

but to each his own of course...

Now, lets assume the previous owner used channel 2/3 for the life of the mixer... if i hook up to 1 and 4, it should be clean.. righto?
