Tescam Mixer

[Mucky Beats]

Not shure if i should put this in this forum but i car'nt see anywhere else to put it?

I've got a pioner 600 and i'm selling it ...
i'm not shure wether to get another 600 or a tescam(i think its the x9)
It just its just i have not been on the tescam but had heard wicked things about it ...
what should i do....please help?

[dan the acid man]

why would you sell your 600 only to buy another 600

also, i never buy anything without trying it somewhere first, unless i know people who have used it who like the same things as me

i run a few nights where the 600 is used and its been to a few 2 day raves(red line) so its had a good life and its now time to pass it on to my mate who will give it a good home :cry:

your right about the not buying something without trying it ..thats what is stoping me getting the tescam! but from what i hear you can do things that the 600 just carnt do :?:

get another 600...at the end of the day Pioneer DJM600's are gonna be in almost any club you go to these days, so its always good to be familiar with the mixer...if ya see what im sayin!

IF I WERE YOU I WOULD GET THE TASCAM X9
REASONS :?:

A) THE SOUND THAT COMES OFF AN X9 IS AMAZING!
B) IT IS ONE OF THE ULTIMATE TECHNO MIXERS AS IT WAS HELPED IN IT`S DESIGN BY OUR GRAND DADDY HIMSELF "DAVE CLARKE"

C) THE 600 IS AN AMAZING MIXER YES WE NO, WEVE ALL HAMMERD IT,BUT THE SOUND THAT COMES OFF IT IS SHIT ON BIG RIGS.THIS IS BECAUSE ALL THE EQ POTS ON A 600 ARE FILLTERED .

IF YOU GET A 500 + A 600 TOGETHER YOU WILL GET A BETTER SOUND FROM THE 500 AS IT HAS NO FILTERS ON THE EQ POTS!

YOU CANT HAVE 1 WITHOUT THE OTHER GOD NO`S WHY PIONEER HAVENT SORTED THIS PROBLEM :?:
YOU EITHER HAVE AMAZING EFFECTS WITH A SHIT SOUND, OR LESS EFFECTS WITH AN AMAZING SOUND!

THERE IS A WAY OF DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR ANY CLUB ENGINEERS WITH THE 600.
"hit the mike talk over button + put a beer bottle lid over it with sum blue tack so the dj doesent knock it back on again, this will nock 4 db off the mixer then bring the volume up on your amps etc! this is the only way to get a better sound out of a 600" (or just slave it with a technics scratch mixer if you av 1)

D) SAVE YOURSELF THE HASSEL + GO GET THE TASCAM X9 IT`S THE DADDY! LIKE I SAID BEFORE IT`S THE BEST MIXER FOR TECHNO AT THE MOMENT! TRUST ME! ;)

for the money the Tascam is awful... and Clarke's involvement with the mixer doesnt run as deep as everyone thinks, he simply gave some recommendations for it but doesnt endorse it in any way and certainly doesnt use it himself. Its a terrible mixer imo and to be honest so is the djm600, the effects are really cheap sounding and if ur serious about getting a new mixer then Allen Heath is the only way to go.

the build on the Allen Heath is superior to any other mixer on the market and i feel it always will be...

Allen Heath with penny and giles crossfader and then ur talking a serious mixer

[jon connor]

YEAP I NO WOT YOU MEAN I WOULD OF SAID THE ALLEN + HEATH , BUT IT`S A BIT PRICEY! I THOUGHT HE WANTED TO STAY IN THE 600 X9 LIMMIT.

I DONT THINK THERE IS A MIXER THAT PLAYS TECHNO BETTER THAN A ALLEN + HEATH

JUST DONT LIKE THERE LAYOUT, + LITTLE BUTTONS EVERY WHERE THAT YOU KNOCK WITH YOUR HANDS BY AXCIDENT, + WONDER WOT THE HELLS GOIN ON,

BUT STILL THE DAADY OF SOUND QUALITY IS ALLEN + HEATH IN MY BOOK ANYWAY! ;)

COOL FOR INFO ON THE X9 DOOD I THOUGHT CLARKE DESIGEND IT,+ I WAS TOLD THAT FROM A GOOD SOURCE ASWEL,.

;)

[Mucky Beats]

I think a tescam would maybe worth a go!
also anyone know where i can get a set of monitors for a small rig???

[eyes without a face]

last time i checked the Tascam was selling for nearly a £1000! that was when it first came out tho, its probably dropped now but if ur spending anywhere near £600 for a brand new Djm then ud be stupid not to get an Allen Heath instead... no amount of effects makes up for the shoddy, plastic build of the 600...

yeah alot of people thought Clarke had more to do with it but he never, the aim was to get him really involved in it but i think complications arose and it turned out that he had very little to do with it in the end... the only thing it can do over a 600 is the fact is has 2 simultaneous effects, and imo opinion having 1 effect at a time is over doing it at times never mind 2... and anyway, i reckon those who use effects too much are only compensating for having shit records! haha ;)

[jon connor]

HE! HE! I NO WOT YOU MEAN , BUT THERE IS ACTUALLY A WAY OF MIXING TECHNO WITH EFFECTS, CLARKE IS LIKE A MECHANIC WITH A 600 , IVE STOOD BEHIND HIM A FEW TIMES AND WATCHED, UNREAL WOT THAT GUY CAN DO MAN!

[eyes without a face]

yeah for sure, ive got a djm 600 here but i have infact got my old numark 2002x setup instead!

Yeah man, bpm counter linked flanging, delay and reverb - cerrrrrazy!

fair point dude .... maybe your right on that one....

eyes with out a face you make some good points ... i will have to check the allen and heath out i've seen it before ....but how much is it?

thanks to all for the feedback :clap: keep um coming please!

[eyes without a face]

im not too sure of the prices, i think it goes Xone 32, 64, 92? check out sapphire and Djstore for some prices, i think they maybe a little more expensive than the pionneers but well well worth it, they are just soooo nice to use, the faders and pots are of THE highest quality

awwwwww! i love bending some heads with this bastard, i used to watch carfully and log in my head effects settings dave clarke was doing, till in the end it came fluently :lol: i scared the shit out of a few engineers he! he! echo in the mix drop between 1+20 awwwwwwwwwwwwwww! the rig rumbles like an earh quake, ive done it on some really heavy 20 to 40k bastards he! he! you got to drop your level fader when you do it , otherwise you will blow the rig..................it`s dodgy thats why i say engineers would be pulling there hair out when ive done this a few times NAUGHTY! :lol:

I was being a bit sarcastic to be honest :D - yeah I know what you mean use of effects can sound great (when used sparingly), but I can't give anyone props for doing them well on a Pioneer - it's very simple once you've got the principal of it, anyone could do it.

id like to see anyone do this on a Djm, its not poss hahahaha

anything Clarke does on the pionneer can be achieved in seconds at home, echo on, sort the bpm out, in the parameters 300 and above and ur sorted, piss easy

[jon connor]

YEA! I NO.

SPARINGLY IS A GOOD WORD! BUT CAN DO SUM MAGIK WITH THEM!
