Mixer Recommendations

[Pulsar]

I use them loads, can do an entire mix with them a little eq magic!!!! no need for faders!!!!

 

I also forgot to mention, how many other mixer had 4 EQ's??? not many. High, Mid1, Mid2, Low

[LittleMissLoud]

Excuse me for sounding dumb, but why would you need 2 mids??

[Pulsar]

The filter on the Pioneer is [censored] compared, beleive me, and its 1 button touch, good if u dont know what your doin, u can master it in about 3 seconds.

 

You can only control the volume and frequency of the LFO, which aint good enough. There's no way to actually control the sweep yourself and there's no resonance control at all.

You wont think you will until you use them, then you'll think every other mixer is pants for only having 3 freq eq's.

 

Needless to say one mid is a high mid and one is low, just gives you more control over the sound. You need to find somewhere that will demo you one, it took me 3 months to find somewhere i could play with a 62, no shops had them in stock and wouldn't order them without a deposit.

You only have no control over it if you have no idea what your doing with it.... the auto-bpm fx works wonders cos you can then work out from that how much you need to adjust to get it perfect for what you want!

So then my friend, what do i press to get it to cut half the top frequency off and then hold at that position..??

 

What if i want a band pass???? Or a high pass for that matter?!??!?

set the time period to maximum and it will hole that for a short time.... ok, so eventually it will filter into its usual pattern, but you gotta improvise!

 

And anyway, the 'dip' of the beatmatched filter sounds awesome as it is

Anyways i don't wanna get into a debate about pioneer and a&h, they are both fantabulous mixers, with vastly ranging qualities.

 

It took me a long long time to decide which to buy, i went for th a&h cos i thought it was the better one for me, and it is.

 

The pioneer will suit some people better than the a&h aswell, it's all up to personal disgression.

 

But no1 can dispute, the a&h is a lot prettier!!!

Yeah - defo! Think the A+H is a better mixer, but the fx uni on the DJM600 puts it on par.... As you say, both great mixers, and both are highly respected by most of the top DJs...

 

As for which is prettier - the a+h is an ugly mo-fo

I think the Allen and Heath is much better looking than the pioneer - it looks so technical that pioneer, and I think it looks really old, they need to update it's look if you aske me - it's just not feminine enough

 

Now my metallic turquoise vestex, on the other hand......

Also, what is the Vestax PCV 275 like??? And what is the difference between that, and the PCV 175

[Mr Moo]

About a hundred by the looks of it.

I think she meant its capabilities?
