i got a pioneer djm 500.

it´s pretty fuc*+d after three years now.

i thought of buying that allen & heath mixer. but it makes kinda weird imprint, cause of the weird line faders, and two mid eq´s, and it´s ****in expensive...

how did it change your style, is it easier to handle than pioneer or is it the sound?

and why does it have two mid eq´s?

OK Mark it may be a cliche but in the DJ world it is the SL1200 of mixers. It does the job very very well. I've had mine for about 4 years and it's never let me down. I have used the A&H one a few times but I found them too fiddly. I did like the crossfader but I will stick with my Pioneer.

Paul.. U got game!

I really hate the A&H... I had really big trouble adapting 2 the 4 eq., 2 me it just isn't practical.. played with it 2 time (TLV Club in tel Aviv and an outdoor big event with coxy @ algarve, Portugal... actually it was Cox's requirment !?!?)

the Djm 600 just gives u really good tools .. (but I think there might b a new model comin' out soon with a sort of Red Cycloops included + eq+ efx 4 it ehehhe jus somethin' I heard )...

What could b better : a reverse in the x-fade ).. although I can't scratch 2 save my life! lol ), the faders could b a little more progressive... the option for 4 decks would b nice!! lol!.. plus better control of the sampler!! I don't like Kill on the channel eq. I prefer a standard -15db cut + separate kill (rotary and switch)... eheh load of big phat dirty knobs!!

I also love the very standard Formula Sound PM90 (it's built like a sherman and it has a really sweet eq.)

would be my very own Vestax 175A... nice and smooth mixer... just shame kills are crap as they make a loud electrical "click" noise through the speakers if you use them... and that's on all 175A's I've used.

Then again, I'm sure this opinion will change some day

I am currently using the VESTAX PMC170-A
I will have to agree that the kills are rather shitty, vestax needs to pick up the similar kills as the Stanton line, their kills work very well.
Im a dj whos not into effects, my ideal mixer is one that lasts for SEVERAL years without any problems of leaky faders and a shitty EQ.
If i was to buy another board i would buy a Vestax for sure,i have had this one for two years now and not a single problem AT ALL. Always clean, no static, smooth faders, nice cross fader, and the one i have was quite affordable, 425 dollars canadian.

WITH THE MIXER YOU ARE REFERRING TO, THAT IS THE MOST CLEAR SOUNDING, TIGHT MIXER TO WORK WITH. ESPECIALLY IN THE STUDIO. ALSO THE F**KIN THING LOOKS MASSIVE....SOMETHING THAT BELONGS IN THE STUDIO... I HAVE PLAYED ON THIS SEVERAL TIMES.. INCLUDING AT THE SAME DROP BASS EVEN FURTHER EVENT A FEW YEARS BACK. THE MASSIVE TENT, I BELIEVE WITH ALL THE FURNITURE IN IT. ANYWAYS.. GREAT MIXER.. ROCK ON! :twisted:

i bought a korg kaos pad mixer a few months back, im really impressed with it, over 80 effects on it.

the only bad side its only a 2 channel, but the cross fader is wikkid really smooth.

17-02-2003, 09:45 AM

My mate has an a+h mixer, and i agree with every one that they are quality mixers. But i think i will stick with my stanton rm3s for now. i like this mixer, althought i have a slight problem with the cross fader. every now an then when you cut it over fast theres a little crackling noise, does anyone know what this is? maybe it just needs a clean, but its a fairly new mixer.

Barely Human

17-02-2003, 01:50 PM

i had the rm3 when it had just come out. I like the mixer, but the channels
and the crossfader are really bad for going wrong!!

Take the crossfader out, get some Servisol Aeroclean and spray
the runners clean, then get some Servisol Super 8, and lubricate it.(dont use too much of the Super 8 or it will slime your fader up!!!)

I have a Vestax PMC-37Pro. It is one of the newest Vestax mixers. There is input matrix system (one source can be assigned to 3 channels, each channel with different eq and/or efx). This is really revolutionary. And istead of knob eq control you have sliders with minus infinity.

I had the chance to check Allen and Heath Zone 64 but in my opinion these mixers are perfect for studio or radio (I suppose Groovetech is using them).

Anyway, on parties I usually have to play on Pioneer DJM500/600 and it is quite good mixer, even if the sound is a bit crappy and efx are often overused by many DJs.

All the top mixers are listed here (A&H for sound quality - Pioneer for their club use - Tascam for the crazy digital technology - Vestax for their price and faders).....

But where is the mention of Rane..? The Rane Empath to be precise!!

I've had the same Vestax for about 5 / 6 years.. never again will I buy one unless they can change my mind with something special... A&H don't make a mixer for multi decks and scratching / cutting that I've seen... Tascam has major bugs with the digital system and needs a chip to be fitted by the user so the eq doesn't have a delay, etc... Pioneer isn't really good for scratching with it's cheap faders, I don't like the eq's and the efx are used by every second dj to the point of overkill, I find it cluttered too...

But the Rane Empath looks tasty! Anyone used one...? :roll:

Alen & Heath Xone 64! through and through!

Im buying the Vestax PCV175 in a few weeks, lovely mixer, but i have to agree with Hakka, the kill switches do make that awful *click* sound.
my mate has just bought the Allen&Heath Xone64 and he says its the best mixer he has ever used, he used to have the VestaxPMC05pro2 and i love that mixer too, its so smooth and easy to use.

Has anyone seen the Allen&Heath XoneV6? :shock: looks scary, like an old radio they would use in world war 2 or something! :twisted:

12-06-2003, 02:50 PM

Had Pioneer DJM500 for about 3 years now, never let me down, spot on. Sound quality is fine I reckon, comparable to A & H. Yeh, the effects unit is a cliche now but I think you can be clever with it and do a few tricks no-one has heard of before if you've got loads of time to practice.

However, I did have a play with the A & H Xone 64 (I think) and these are the daddy indeed of DJ mixers, those filters kick serious arse.

I've gotta get myself one of these babies as soon as I get a lump of cash...

Dj Swannie

14-06-2003, 04:33 PM

Ive got the tascam x9 mixer. One niggle with it is the bass mid ect ect pots have a delay on them when you turn them which is a right bitch sometimes. Methodixx mentioned about a chip upgrade to elimiate this, does anyone know where to get hold of the chip or who can mod them ??
If I could eliminate the delay on this mixer it would make it almost perfect as the other effects on it are amazing once you learn how to use it !

Dave Elyzium 2

14-06-2003, 04:39 PM

yeah my mate has that A+H mixer and it blew me away when i first used it - the filter is awesome for "morphing" between tracks, you can lowpass one track out whilst fading the next in, raising the filter to create a cool transition on tracks, some cool effects can be had by cutting the filter in in time with the track too......a wicked mixer but a bitch when the gig i played after playing on it was a 2 channel "made 2 fade" type jobby!!

DJZeMig_L

14-06-2003, 05:39 PM

Little trick with the Allen & Heath U guys might already know... but here goes nothing...

Choose High Pass Filter leave it at 20Hz (almost not cutting at all)... now boost the resonance... It must b the phatest n sweetest bass I've ever heard in me life!! :)

I got a 600.... i like it, its a good general, allround, can do everything kinda mixer. The sound output is not in the same league as the allen and heath tho.

Also with the a&h the filters are more my kinda style.

you will find it in almost every club ore event... stick with this one and i will not have to learn how to deal with a new mixer every gig!!! hehehehe

The Allen and Heath Zone 64 (I think that's the name - the one with about 6 channels and the filter). I bought it about 6 months ago... It's totally changed my style of mixing...

And the build quality is unbelivable...

This is without doubt the best mixer I've used in 20 years of DJing... shame it hasn't got the effect that the Pioneer DJ M-600 has got (but to be honest, I reckon they've become cliche anyway)..

These are popping up in loadsa clubs. The faders are brilliant and the filters are cool. One thing I dont like tho is the x-fader curve. It aint sharp enough. That is what makes me think that the pioneer is better.
Personally I have a Vestax PMC 05pro mkII. Nice and simple.

the filters on the a+h have completely revolutionised the way loads of people mix nowadays, why use the eq's when you can use two vcf's to blend your tunes together? Jon 'OO' is a wicked example, you just cant here him mix the tracks together now he uses an a+h..... listen to his white label CD's...

Also bout the X9, we had one setup and swapped it for the a+h and the difference in just the warmth of the sound was unbelievable!! the X9 has to be one of the mankiest, digital soundin mixers about....

14-07-2003, 02:24 PM

what do other people think about scratching in hard/fast dance music? i think its wicked if you can pull it off, and is something i have been trying to master in the past few months. it's a real talent and adds diversity to your style.
does anyone have any tips on scratching over hard trance? i've got basic chirps down to a t and my crab scratching is getting there, but have mainly developed this whilst mixing hip-hop. anyone got any advice on techniques i can use in hard trance?

Barely Human

14-07-2003, 06:16 PM

Dont go to crazy with it. In hip hop you can get really technical with it and it sounds great, but over hard trance, subtlety is the key. Differnt fade downs work well, as do flares and chirps. Crabs and rubs dont work to well as you cant really make them out over hardtrance(unless you have it way to loud!).

16-07-2003, 01:38 AM

It all depends on your mixing technique. I who like it rough (both musically and technically) has two choices - Vestax or Allen&Heath. Those are the only ones putting up to my aggressive tweaking.

If you like it nice and smooth I would say Pioneer DJMx00 is a good choice. Plus it is what every friggin club out there has. Personally I hate it though.

tioneb

25-08-2003, 01:23 PM

this is weird ... the pioneers are funny to use but i would never buy them .. every mate who owns one has terrible probelms with the fader crushing n stuff ... really weak building... of course when you spin a party you dont care the mixer youre using will hold for years or not...

for the sound quality and the strong building i would rate the rodec first and the freevox second... really weird nobody has mentionned these 2 brands before. as good third i would put a&h but ive heard they're a bit weak.

25-08-2003, 02:18 PM

just adding the pioneer fx 500 effects box to the aleen and heath makes it the best mixer in the world.

why is there all this attraction to the effects ???

3 decks mixing and / or truntablism a la Dave Clarke or Claude Young are really mroe itneresting to hear and see imo.

I use the vestax PMC07pro with penny and gilles xfader(it really is the best xfader out ther). And for effects ive got the kaoss pad 2 which is REALLY nice. Dont like the way the djm is always locked to the bpm, with the kaoss pad you actually control yer effects.....mind you sumtimes its nice for the effects to be locked to the tempo....

Dont think ill ever change my mixer i am 100 percet happy with it....Highly reccomend it.

I only used about 6 mixers, inlcuding the Pioneer DJM 600 which was cool but my fave has gotta be my Vestax PMC25. It has complete freq cut off on the highs mids and lows instead of minus whatever decibels this mixer has minus infinity.

As for me i've got a djm 600, wicked mixer and has so many tricks you can do with it.

Has anyone used the new allen & heath xone 92?

CHUCK-E

26-03-2004, 02:32 AM

I rekon the djm600 is the best, its def' got the best effect's, the cross fader is wiked {allen heath x-faders r the worst] and its pretty solid..

I think the x-zone range has the better sound quality tho...

duncandisorderly

29-03-2004, 11:16 AM

there are some new kids on the block now though. check out the new denon x 1500 and the pioneer djm909. the denon is similar to the pioneer djm600 wityh four channels and a bank of effects plus you can assign any input to any channel and has a digital display so you can see everything that is happening and the pioneer djm909 has got separate effects setup for each channel and three preset switches for each channel too plus a whole load of options for changing the fader curve and effects via a touch screen setup. the only drawback with the 909 is the fact that it only has two channels.

The pioneer DJM600 is the best mixer on the market and it wins hands down, sure A&H are good and the filters on them are spot on, but the DJM600 has so much you can do with it the effects are amazing once you know how to use them properly you can make sounds you only dream of.
MONEY WELL SPENT!!

right for a start theres too many on the market to say DJM-600 is the best on the market and wins hands down.

Have you tried all the other mixers.

theres different mixers for different genres.
yea its a good mixer but the effects can be found on maany mixers, the faders arnt even good, pretty damn poor actually so whats left after that? build quality maybe , reputation also,
but what about all the other mixers on the market ?

theres a few more on the market apart from allen&heath and pioneer.

lots of people metion Vestax, i have to agree with these people cause ive used vestax djm and allen&heath and vestax pisses all over them all,

you cant kil them, rock solid faders and indestructable design. NO gimmiky effects just good authentic mixablility.

on the DJM you can only use the effects so much, after a while it just becomes cliche. Plus its not the best effects units out there anyways.

Just my two pence worth anyways.

My fave mixers are:

i hate pioneers. never could understand why they got so popular.

the allen and heath's with the 4 band eq are wicked. the low-mid control is wicked for picking out a kick from one track to play against the bassline of the other track.

at home i have a vestax pcv 175. it's not half bad. it's the blue 3 channel. the faders are slicker than the black ones.

at the club where i used to play they had a gold vestax 55, and it was awesome. by far my favorite. fewer controls than other mixers, but what it does do, it does flawlessly.

i had one, it had to many build quality faults with it. but that said i found it to be a nice combination of the pioneer (without fx) and the a+h 64.however I sent mine back and got technics instead but i would consider getting one in the future when the price drops a little ;) then maybe add a little guitar fx unit as well (i had more control with a geetar fx unit with a rotary knob controling the delay time instead of a tempo tap button) the filters on the 92 are fat with classy channel switches to assign the filers and crossfaders. all in all a good mixer....shame about the price.

currently got a Numark DM2002x with 2 Zoom RFX300 on the third channel for the sends.

the DM aint the best, but it has kill buttons beside the pot & is well laid out. AND it has a 12v lamp socket, so no need for candles or lights.

had the huge A&H but had to sell it to free up cash for me club night.
way too much for jus 2 decks, but i put me hardware thru it & it rox.
6 staereo channels & 4 mono line ins with 5way parametric ? lush.

as for the 2 mids, i think its a great feature. makes for much more interestin blending. spesh on 3 dex.
didnt like the Xfade on it. or the Xfade on the 3 channel A&H. just cant get the curve right. and the faders have a wierd curve.

the DJM600 is the 1210 of mixers. if i play out somewhere & theres a DJM600 when i turn up, i'm well happy. it has its faults, but its a good standard.

ive yet to have used an allen and heath :cry: , i have a djm500 at home thats serviced me for the past couple of years and its still working as good as new :)

its a simple mixer but i like its layout, dont use the effects really, i use delay in my sets a little bit though.

worst mixer ive ever encounterd is the roland dj2000...absolutely shit build and part quality, my mate was silyl enough to fork out 1000 quid for one a couple of years ago and its broke more times then i can remember, we refer to it as the distortion box now :lol: :doh:

I personally use the DJM600 and would agree that the effects on it have definetly been overused. Every time you hear that familiar flanger in the club ... :dontevengothere: You know what I mean. But the problem is not only with the DJs who overuse the effects, it's when they don't even know what to do with them... I mean it's like "oh great, he's discovered the filter - now we're in for forty minutes of ferocious filter frenzy with filter breaks every eight or sixteen bars" :roll:

I've heard the Allen&Heath mixers are great, but I'm not thinking of trading the Pioneer in just yet. Even though some effects have in fact become cliche due to their overuse, they are still great set enhancing effects if applied subtly and with precision...

A mixer I find appealing is the Vestax PMC-37, but I don't yet feel the need for that kind of mixer at this time. Maybe when my skillz are good enough to switch to a real scratch mixer :rambo:

hahah.
maybe man,
but you know i use a gemini,
not shitting you.

UMX-9, gold platted vca faders.
****ing awsome mixer mate, but it is the highest in the range they do.

A & H are awsome too like, so what you thinking about going for?
or were you seirous?
cause if you were then get a UMX-LM, no compromise with that mixer.

well when i first started djing in 94 i had a gemini and so i think its just bad first expriences! i'm serious about selling it, i'm not too pleased with the crossfader mainly. i read on anotehr forum that you can email A&H and they will send you the mods (a couple of resistors) to make the xfader cut in quicker but, i just don't like the feel.

that mixer looks pretty cool but i'd prefer more channels. these are the choices i had so far:

Stanton SMX501 3ch Scratch DJ Mixer
DNX1500 Denon Pro DJ Mixer
vestax pmc55
vestax pmc37pro

i used to own a djm500 and that was ok, but i want something more robust, it felt a bit weak when thrashing it about!
