I have got a Tascam x9, the only grumble i have with it is that the eq's on each channel have a slight delay to take effect when you turn them which is quite enoying when you first use it. Im used to it now so it doesnt bother me. The thing's i like about it the most is the smoothnes of all the faders & the 2 fx units which imo are the best fx ive heard from a mixer & you can do so much with them to. Also you can hook foot pedels up to it so you can trigger the fx from them, some mad shit i can tell u :lol:

I got mine second hand for £500 about 18 months ago, i wouldnt want to pay much more than that as i'd be tempted with an A&H as most clubs that ive played at have had them & i think to be honest its a better overall mixer.

I really don't like Allen Heath mixer. I used last month at Lov.e Club and I guess my dj set was so so. They have a DJM 600 too , but was broken. I played there 3 times and the last one with Allen Heath was terrible, people liked but I hated. To be honest, I hope don't play with this mixer again. This same day Ana from PetDuo played with me. So we asked for a DJM 600, because they have one. But was broken.

I like to do some cuts, effects and etc. So for me this isn't a nice mixer. I had some problems to understand how do my dj set using this mixer. I did 2 dj sets, 1h:30 min and then + 30min. The first 15 minutes was so bad, then was way better.

If I can't choose, well, I will play with A&H. Maybe the dj set will be better. Because now I know more about this mixer.

The 97,7 FM here in São Paulo have a Tascam mixer. I used 3 times, was ok for me. I liked. I wish know more about the effects, look very nice. I tested some effects during the set, live at radio, and was ok. Not too much special I guess, but if I can pratice, I know I can do better.

I have a DJM 500, so maybe for me it's easier because I have this mixer. When I play with a DJM 500 or 600 is allways better. I can do my dj set without any problem.

Here in Brazil the favorite mixer is DJM 500/600.

Allen and heath all the way. Wouldn`t sulley a rig with anything less.
Lovely filters and EQ, lovely sound.
Sod the effects, people who use em, just need to play better music.

**serox** · 26-10-2004, 10:17 AM

i like the AH mixer, but i dont need to spend so much on a mixer. all i ever use is the xfader/channels etc:( i always thought the FX were ued to hide mistakes ?:(

I cant agree there, Djs who use effects properly have got talent and know there tunes very well...i have heard Djs use the effects on different mixers and this has made there set really interesting....yeah..if an amature ****s with the effcts it can go horribly wrong, but do it properly and it sounds great!

HMHMM! I THINK A LOT OF YOU ON HERE ARE MISTAKING THE ADVANTAGES OF THE ON BOARD SAMPLER OF A 600, LIKE I SAID BEFORE, THERE IS AWAY OF MIXING WITH EFFECTS, + YES U COULD LEARN TO DO SUM EASY SHIT OVER NIGHT WITH A 600, BUT IM SORRY I DISMISS ANY COMMENT SAYING ANYONE CAN USE IT, YOU HAVE OBVIOUSLY NOT SCENE WOT IT CAN DO WEN PLAYED BY A REAL PRO LIKE DAVE CLARKE,+ UMEK CHRISTIAN VARELA ETC, 3+4 DECK MIXING,AND ON BOARD SAMPLING WITH EFFECTS, SORRY GUYS BUT THIS KIND OF ACTION IN THE UK IS RARE. THERE ARE ONLY A HANDFULL OF PEOPLE WHO CAN DO THIS KIND OF DECKS + FX SKILL.

THE ONLY THING IVE GOT AGAINST THE 600 IS THE SOUND THAT COMES OFF IT IS SHIT, THATS WHY I USED TO SLAVE IT ON A BIG RIG EITHER WITH A ALLEN +HEATH OR TECHNICS SCRATCH MIXER WEN I COULDENT GET HOLD OF A A+H.

IF WE COULD CROSS BREED A 600 WITH A+H WE WOULD AV 1 HELL OF A MIXER SOMTHING MANUFACTURERS NEED TO LOOK AT!

JUST THOUGHT I WOULD STICK UP A BIT FOR THE 600 AS IVE HAD MANY GREAT GIGS WITH THIS.

+ IT HAS ENABLED ME TO DEAL WITH ANOYING MC`S
MAKE THEM SOUND LIKE PINKY + PERKY OR A GIRL. :lol:

PEACE+NOISE DUDES! (hope i aint vexed any 1) ;)

I hate the A & H not because of the sound or filters or anything else apart from the fact that the gains are at the back of the mixer. This is terminaly retarded in my book . :lol:

I'm I the only person who think the Vestax PCV-275 is one of the sweetest techno mixers?

**Scott Kemix** · 28-02-2005, 03:04 PM

1. Tascam x-9

None of them, id would get the Ecler Nuo 5. If is is out of them, i would probably get the A+H, i dont like the pioneer and i havent tried the tascam.

**mrbenn** · 01-03-2005, 09:27 PM

I sold my 600 to get the Ecler Nuo 5, its far better than both the 600 & tascam imo. The build quality is amazing, the effects section revolutionary for a dj mixer and the faders are as good as the top scratch mixers on the market.

Yep, Ecler are th bomb. Ive had the Hak 320 scratch mixer for 3 years now and its still as good as new. I know 600's that faders have lasted 3 months before crackling and bleeding.
