What are you after channel wise and feature wise? Scratching or just mixing?

IceAx · 15 Feb 2007 at 23:27

Just mixing 2 channel is fine

If you dont mind the small size.

Ecler Nou 2

Ecler making cracking mixers. Aimed more at turntablisit tbh but good mixers all the same.

When i upgraded last year i was warned of the vestax you have listed by someone on another forum. They had a few problems with the upfaders and the crossfader.

I havnt heard anything about the dennon.

Bit too small and aimed tooo much at scratching to bo honest.

Would it not be worth getting a 3channel mixer so you can use the pc as well?

IceAx · 16 Feb 2007 at 12:05

Just tried to order the denon

i knew it was discontinued but why have it
on your site when its not in stock

I can still connect my PC up dude - just swictch between line and phone remember im using decks so have 2 free line ins

DJM300

IceAx · 16 Feb 2007 at 13:18

Yup right price - just trying to find one now - dont like the look
of it as much as the other 2 mind.

Any other suggestions?

I love my DJM300, it's simple and tough.

Plus it means I am straight up used to the most common club mixers (DJM500/600) as the faders/dials/etc is all the same

IceAx · 16 Feb 2007 at 16:36

This is true ill keep my eyes peeled for one

Cheers

Find a retailer and go and have a play, see which you like the feel of the most. You may prefer the fader action/resistance level of a particular model, or find out that the build quality isn't as good as it looks in pictures.

Vestax PCV275 tbh

best mixer i've ever had, never let me down, bullet proof crossfader

looks good too

IceAx · 18 Feb 2007 at 18:18

Well seems i've had a brainwave!

For now im going back to my old mixer!

Its just shown up how bad my newest one was!
The SQ and general quality of my old mixer is
such an improvement!

Thought about a numark?
I used to use the old version of the numark DM2050. Think it was a 2002X, but it was a fantastic mixer for the money.

IceAx · 18 Feb 2007 at 21:25

No hadnt really, not really my cup of tea looking at them tbh.
