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
