Members Hades25 Posted August 9, 2002 Members Share Posted August 9, 2002 Ok guys...guess I'll start one.....I have a Numark 3002 and it has all the features I need in a mixer...but the mixer sux ass.....when I record a set if you listen to it ... in the background ...real faint...you can hear me cueing up the next record.....what the hell.....now is this something I can fix or is it just a {censored}ty mixer....I think the latter.....I need a good 3 or 4 channel mixer with kills and cueing for the headphones that all the channels can be put into at the same time.......and I dont care about {censored}ty x-faders either....I dont beat mine up all that much....just a good solid sound with good recording capabilities.....or unless you can solve the recording problem with my 3002 then I wont need something new right now........

Members djsynrgy Posted August 9, 2002 Members Share Posted August 9, 2002 I have a numark mixer and have the same problem in my headphones (bleeding pfl knob) but it doesn't come through in the recordings.. what does come through is a not so 'sweet-spot' on my gain knob that peaks out my levels.. It's a shame that you can pay a few hundred dollars for CRAP. I don't have the personal experience to tell you what works, but from what I know, pioneer is solid, and so is the high end of vestax.. I don't think you're going to find much in the way of 'lower-priced' mixers, as far as reliability goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GoldSeraph Posted August 10, 2002 Members Share Posted August 10, 2002 I have a vestax pcv-275 and its great, about 400 bucks. Pioneer DJM 500 are quality as well. The mixer I am really hot on lately though areAllen and heath. Their xone 32 and xone 64 mixersare superb quality but a bit pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members whataboutit Posted August 20, 2002 Members Share Posted August 20, 2002 aha - djm 500 - I've been looking at that one, seems like a good choice. but... $900! I just can't get over the price. is there really nothing else that comes close in terms of features & quality but carries a less hefty price tag??! I'm thinking of making a purchase soon, so all suggestions welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 6ftabovsealevel Posted August 21, 2002 Members Share Posted August 21, 2002 I'd look into that Vestax pcv-275... All the features you're looking for in a mixer that isn't going to start doing weird things on you after a couple months of use. The pcv-175 might also work for you, but it doesn't have a few of the little bells & whistles that make the 275 appealing. Vestax uses good quality electronic components in all their equipment, (one big difference between them & the lower end brands) so you can bank on it working correctly and sounding good for a long time if you treat it right. For the money, I would say that's the way to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GoldSeraph Posted August 22, 2002 Members Share Posted August 22, 2002 agreed, honestly i dont think the Pioner DJM 500 is worth 400 bucks more than the PCV 275 but its the standard at clubs around here and seems to be quite popular.

Members djsynrgy Posted August 22, 2002 Members Share Posted August 22, 2002 they're both trustworthy.. I've mixed on both.. there's only 2 things I feel I should mention. First, you can find a DJM-500 for less than $800 almost EVERY day on ebay. Second, if you're gonna buy a djm-500, you may as well spend the other couple hundred bucks and get a djm-600. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
