| the 909 is mostly a scratch/hip-hop style mixer design. it goes down to what sort of dj you are i suppose. my recommendation is save a little more and go for the DJM800 you wont regret it. |

The Rane Empath is an amazing mixer, but there are quite a few amazing mixers. It all depends on what you want.
What are you looking for in a mixer? How many channels? What price range? What specific features, if any? Do you ever plan to do any turntablism/scratching/etc? |

| well right now .. price is not an issue... i m using onli 2 TT .. so i m no hurry to get a 4 channel mixer .. maybe a 3 channel or a 2 channel ... and yes i m looking for a very well rounded mixer ..with good sound .. good efx .. and i m going into scratching .. learning to scartch will probably be the better word for it .. hahah .. any recommendations ?? |

Actually the Rane Empath would be a really good choice for you I think. It does not have onboard effects though - if price really isn't an issue I might go with the Empath and a Pioneer EFX1000.
The DJM-800 would be a good choice too I think. That has a bunch of effects on board.
Also check out the Vestax PMC-08 if you're looking to get more into turntablism. |

haha, c'mon man, thinking about this decision is part of the excitement!
Personally, I'd probably go for the 800 out of those, unless I had the money to burn to do the empath plus efx1000.

I wouldn't even consider the DJM-600 if it's the same price as the empath...

The empath is just a great quality mixer...it's got penny and giles faders, everything just feels great, and the sound quality is superb. Far superior to the DJM-600. I've played on a lot of DJM-600s, and they've all had at least something broken on them.
BTW check your PMs |
