350??
You'd defo get a x:one32...and u'd find a really old style mk1 x:one62 for that I reckon, if not a newer version with the slimmer knobs if someone was selling desperate...
Now the x:one92 is out, that's the one everyone wants even more!!
i'd still recommend the ecler, never liked the corssfaders on allen and heath mixers.
i also wouldnt recommend pioner djm mixers for him, eve though i like them, he wants something without too many knobs and settings

Did someone say Ecler?? :love: :love: :love: :love:
Agreed, I DONT like using the Allen and Heath mixers, those bloody volume faders take around 4 days to reach the end of their travel.Originally Posted by dan the acid man
They didnt really think the design of them through IMO. They're fiddly and unpleasant to use. Tiny sodding buttons and the useage isnt transparent, especially for a new DJ. Yes, before ya'll start, every mixer has a learning curve, but the allen and heaths i've used (i havent used all of them..) felt much more fiddly that usual.
The DJM rocks. But ill have a look at the Ecler.
allen heath are kings of the mixer world, doesnt really get much better, makes the djm feel like a kids toy
i like both but there's no denying the Allen Heaths are built to an extremely high quality and are a joy to mix on

I aint doubting the quality, what i doubt is the layout of the mixer, the size of the buttons on there, the fader travel... 100mm UP faders? Thats NOT right. True, they have the advantage of slightly better volume fading.Originally Posted by eyes without a face
What you are forgetting is that Allen and Heath make studio consoles to an amazing standard, i'd kill for one personally. BUT, although they apply the same standard to the DJ mixer in terms of quality, it looks like they didnt make the physical design very intellgent. I want my mixer to blend with me, not get in the way, i want to have to look at it only when striclty necessary. And this is what it does for me.
Also, the filters on the Allen and Heath are superb, but badly implemented. In fact its the same on the 600. GREAT filters, badly implemented. I mean - how ****nig hard is it to put an LFO AND a manual control. BUT NOOO, neither of these companies did it. Dont get me wrong, i know how to modulate a manual filter by hand......
And why on earth hasnt anyone botherd with parametric EQs yet?????
IMO.
Parametric EQ's have been on Battle mixers for years -Originally Posted by dodgyedgy
Those are paragraphic Eqs Al.
Paramteric is and EQ where you can select a frequency and choose to boost or attenuate.
But i think im teaching my grandmother to suck eggs here... ;)
Ah ****, wasnt even thinking mate :lol:
im pretty oldskool, i dont particulary use many effects and as long as the mixer has 2 channels, a strong fader and eq im happy, and a couple of extra mm on the faders is the least of my worries when it comes to a mixer, id rather that than a mixer like the 600 which, altho being fun to use, does feel like its going to snap in ur hands at any minute
ive used both many and it just always comes out on top for me definately, i cant wait to get one
i'd say the reason no ones gotten into parametic eq's on their mixers yet because its alot more complicated for your average dj mixer, those who really dont understand it are happy with a 3 band eq, altho you and others may wish to boost and reduce certain frequencies in the mix im guessing that not enough people have even thought about it enough for it to fruition into a viable idea never mind a product
mixers are a personal thing, you cant tell someone what to use and what not to use, go to your local music store with a few of ur fave records and get them to give you a few demonstrations before you part with any money

try ecler like ppl have said, great qualiy mixer.
or djm-707, nothing to fancy on it, just great fader controls and pioneer quality
:!:
Fair enuff. Do you gain pump?Originally Posted by eyes without a face
I disagree with that. anyone will use something when presented with it. Thats like saying you shouldnt put sat nav into a car cos no-one can use it, without even testing the theory.i'd say the reason no ones gotten into parametic eq's on their mixers yet because its alot more complicated for your average dj mixer,
We've got an Ecler, and I'm not a big fan to be honest.
I don't like the way the PFL works.
what dont you like about it :?:Originally Posted by TechMouse

I like being able to fade between the PFL and the master out, in the headphones.Originally Posted by dan the acid man
