    Default need mixer suggestions!!

    ok well i just bought my setup consisting of two techs, sl3, korg nanopad and a ddm4k.i was looking to sell the nanopad and the ddm4k because i was looking to get a simplified mixer and some dicers. some mixers i was looking at is the vestax pmc05pro3 and the xone 22. i want to stick with two channels and good built quality that will last! so i was wondering what you guys have to say and if i missed any other mixers?

    Used Rane 56. I hear the Xone 22 is not too good and the 05Pro3 is a great battle mixer, but for mixing, the two band EQ without full kill really makes it hard to use. Don't get me wrong, I love my 05Pro3, but the 56 is just the best two channel scratch/mix mixer availible. Magnetic stock faders with curves and reverses, full cut EQs, effects loop, built like a tank, aux out/in, it's just a great mixer.

    sorry for a nooby question but what does it mean when you say full kill?

    full kill = if you turn down all EQ you wont have any sound left, some mixers only have -26db on each EQ

    yeah i see that this mixer is good but there isn't a lot around here in my area. ecler is more of a EU mixer i believe but correct me if im wrong.

    The TTM56 or 57 is probably the best due to the faders, unfortunately the 56 doesn't have XLR outputs while the 57 does but is stuck with the SL1. Whatever you get save yourself the heart ache if you're gigging with it and make sure you get something with XLR outputs

    The DJM-250 is like $340, has virtually every single thing a 2 channel mixer should need and then some, and is built pretty solid all around.

    i thought about the 56 but the xlrs are a must. and i already have an sl3 so kinda no point of getting a 57 imo.
