The best Techno Mixer

[doc12inch]

What do you rekon the all round best techno mixer is?


ive played on a few in my time


personally my choice would be any higher end vestax mixer with a pioneer efx unit hooked up to it........

[RDR]

A Vestax PCV275 with a kaoss pad attached. Love that combo.

A PCM07 with a kaoss pad 2 attatched!!!


Anything with a Kaoss Pad 2 attatched.

We've got an Ecler mixer. It's pretty nice to use, from a knobs and stuff point of view, but it doesn't have a knob to fade between PFL and OUT, so I get pissed off with it.

I like the Pioneer mixers because they're easy to use, and the FX section is pretty good... but everyone else moans about the sound quality.

We use an A&H in the club, and it's built like a tank, and very good in use. Wouldn't want to have to fork out for one myself though!

Pros and cons each way you look, to be honest.

ive been using the ecler nuo 5 loads - that mixer kicks ass - wouldnt class it as a techno mixer tho - like the long faders on it.

sound quailty on the djm series is shitter compared to the eclers but it aint bad, ive also noticed the a&h break easily from previous use but it depends how hard the past person nailed it hahaha

[Mindful]

PCV275 for me I love em,I like the eqs

Ive got the modelle down the blue one

i love the build of the allen heaths, but the layout of the pioneer. The effects dont really bother me too much

the Zone's build, faders and pots with the djms layout would suit me, might build one hehe

il knock them 2 up for eastenders tommorow mate

[dan the acid man]

ok cool, all though i didnt expect it to take as long as that, but im still willing to pay the whole sum of 2 bags of salted peanuts and a melted snickers bar

[eyes without a face]

what can i say mate, im slow, and Diagnosis Murder is on before Eastenders so your lucky im doing it that quick!

[dan the acid man]

im tempted to take my valuable custom elsewhere, im paying extortionate prices and its taking soooooooo long.

but i just love those carrier bags you give away for free with your mixers

[stjohn]

i was mixing on a Denon DNX1500 at the week end. its a quality mixer.
you can control hp/bp/lp filters at will, and the echo and delay fx seem to be cleaner than the DJM600.

gay and obv answer from me - a&h 92...superb mixer, end of.

word! alan's rock no club/rig should be without a 62 or 92

[Mucky Beats]

for me i like the djm 600.... i think its coz im use to them and kinda know what they can do ...granted they have there limits and the sound out of them aint the best. But they feel right if ya know what i mean?

[Jay Pace]

DJM 600

Friendly, well laid out, intuitive effects you can use quickly. A dj's mixer.

Other mixers may have better sound quality or more precise effects, but TBH it makes little difference.

I've yet to play in a club where the DJM 600 is the weak link in the chain.

Bad needles, stupid djs, no limiting and badly set up and overdriven speakers are usually to blame. DJM 600 is a rock solid, reliable quality piece of gear. Go buy one.

[curly]

I am currently using the rane empath but before that I had a citronic pro 10 for about 5 years that was gig'ed most weekends and never failed me. You can pick those up on ebay now for about £60

[S/E]

The DJM 600 has been my favourite for some time. It is well laid out, the effects are good and easy to use and its fairly durable.

A&H 62 ;)

Yeah, this mixer is the bollocks... those massive kill knobs are fantastic.

Plus, whoever designed it made it pretty impossible to BOOST frequencies, which is good news for PA owners.

[SlavikSvensk]

do you like it, i hope you do :lol:

[dan the acid man]

oops double post

[Symmetric]

I have and love the X:ONE 62, and would love to try the 92. I hate every other mixer I might have to play on if it's not an A&H.

[Aratron]

yeah i just got an Ecler HAK310 ( the name sounds like some hunter/killer droid ), this weekend.
After using a battered gemini for years, im very happy with it.
its pretty stripped down and basic, no effects, but it does the job.
the sound quality is out of this world. and its gonna take my mixing i hope to a new level, quality !! ace for scratching too :love: :love:
i couldnt compare it to other mixers other than to say its better than gemini/numark mixers i have used in the past.
a friend of mine has a DJM600 and whilst i like that i think i prefer the Ecler.
corners like its on rails

[dan the acid man]

yeah, glad you like it, i'll be getting one of the smac ones soon

[TechMouse]

Sorely lacking a PFL / CUE fader.

Looks like they fixed it on the NUO series though.
