ive noticed that with the pioneer mixers ive used, the djm 500/600 sound best two in the red, and the 800 one in the red 
some systems are set up in a way that being in the red will distort, not likely in my expierience though, or maybe im just ing going deff |

i definately don't go into the red...in fact, i get all anal when it goes into the yellow for those random peaks in songs. so no worries about that.
one more question regarding speakers...i have some krk's, what i did before was that i turned those up all the way, and had the master on my mixer almost at 25%. is that a good idea or should i have my monitors at about half and the mixer at half? |

| i am not really sure, but i'd put money that having the gain all the way up is not a good idea. i'd say half and half is the best way to go. |

I have some KRKs too and I do exactly that with my DJM800. I see no problem with it. |

| you generally want the input sensitivity on your monitors as low as possible. this way, you arent amplifying a weaker signal as much. every amp has it's sweet spot though. you will often find the sound goes to at either extremes. |

looks like people are finally waking up to the concept that a mixer with multiple internal analog-digital conversions isn't a wise idea.
Go for a quality analog board... Rane, Allen&Heath, Ecler, etc. |

+1. When the marketing BS subsides (along with the novelty of those horrible toy fx)and you are left with a sub-par quality mixer, people will go back to quality analogue mixers. |

And pigs might fly...
They will go onto the next P.O.S mixer released by certain companies, thats hyped to be the best thing since sliced bread. |
