1 grand to spend on a new mixer
^^ i want to get a new mixer, my budget is 1 grand i was looking at the djm 700 anyone else have it and could tell me more bout it, or suggest any other mixers thnx
you can probably find a really good condition djm 800 for that much. I have the. I like it alot for the price, it can be found for like 600-800 pretty easily. Overall the amount of effects and sound is pretty good. Independent filters/sweep in about the number 1 thing I miss from the 800, but besides that its a solid mixer. If you can find a good used 800 I would swoop that up though.
xone 42 is really good.top quality sound
2nd hand djm 800> 700.
Hi/Lo Filters on each channel ftw
pioneer filters sound shit though, IMO you’d be better off getting an A+H
Don’t take a Pioneer mixer. DJM-800 effects are nice at first, but after a while you’ll be only using the Echo/Delay and even they sound shit. Not to speak about the Reverb. Save a few 100 extra and get a Xone DB2 or take a Xone:92.
Honestly? Your best bet is going into the closest DJ shop to where you live and try them out. Don’t try and spend your whole budget, that’s just you asking to get ripped off. Try out all the sets you can. Find what you enjoy
1000 Thai Baht is only worth about £20 or $30 so I don’t think it’ll get you very far 
and 1000 yen makes 10€
you would spend so much money on behalf of some strangers opinion? lol ^^
since you didn’t mentioned A&H or some other serious brands and since it seems like you think pioneer mixers are good, i would suggest you to get some knowhow before spending so much money on crap ^^
DNX1600, There’s a 1700 that’s been for sale right now in the buy/sell forum at a pretty good price.
i say go A&H. Im a controllerist and have only messed around with other peoples mixer setups but A&H Xone: 42 is the sexiest mixer i’ve ever put my hands on. just a suggestion
go with this mixer! you´ll love it. and the deal is really good!
I think it all depends what you and how you play.
I had a Xone: 42. I currently have a DJM-800. I like the 800 much more. The sound coming out of the 42, sounds better. The filters are also much better. If I was a guy that layerd tracks or played trance, etc. the 42 would be a better choice. The DJM-800 action packed. Way better crossfader, filters on each channel, midi-assignable, and post fader effects that have a very nice “wet” sound to them. But it’s very true, I mostly just use echo on it, reverb and flanger occasionally.
At least with the DJM900, this is a huge overstatement. Sure, A&H filters sound a bit better, you have the full range of the knob to work with, and you have more control over the resonance, but I’d hardly say Pio filters sound like shit. Granted, my primary experience with them is on the 900 and I haven’t used the 800 or below extensively. Traktor’s filters on the other hand I’d completely agree with that statement; next to no resonance on the Xone emulation and huge resonance on the Ladder and neither’s adjustable.
The pioneer djm-t1 (I just bought online) is a great mixer for use with traktor because it has all of the buttons for use with traktor and the audio device built in. I bought mine for for under $900 online.
DJM-700/800 filters are pretty poor. They’re functional, but not beautiful.
Standard A&H fanboy response. I’d ignore this if I were you.
Pioneer filters on 700, 800 and 900 are all decent. Better than traktors which are also alright. Yes A&H filters sound slightly better but no punter will ever notice.
Certainly they don’t sound “shit”
So, as others have said, your main options probably are:
Pioneer DJM 700/800(second hand b-stock)
Allen & Heath Xone 42/62/92(second hand or b-stock)
Denon DN-X 1600/1700 (second hand or b-stock)
Vestax PMC 580 (second hand or b-stock)
Ecler Evo 4
And i would take a look at the mid-range of mixers like the Denon DN-X 1100/Ecler Nuo 4.0 + Kaoss Pad if FX are desired.
Those are all great mixers and what you should get depends entirely on your preferences, but since you did not give any specifications, here are some questions you should think about.
What currency are we talking about? (GBP vs. USD can make quite a difference)
What music do you play? (Will you do scratches?)
What and how many sources do you use? (purely digital? Vinyl? CDs?)
Where do you want to use your new mixer? (bedroom only, houseparties, club?)
What equipment did you use before?
Do you prefer certain brands? If yes, why?
Faders or rotary? Do you mind if the faders have studio caps?
How long should the faders be? (45mm, 60mm, 100mm?)
What fader curves do you prefer? (linear, logarithmic, adjustable?)
Do you want volume meters per channel?
How do you like your EQ? (3-band, 4-band, with complete kill, isolator mode?) If you use Traktor, you could use the internal EQ modes to test how different EQs can sound.
Do you use FX? Do you need internal FX or is FX send/return important?
Do you prefer having filters per channel?
Do you want any specific cueing functions? E.g. split-cue?
Do you need a microphone channel? If yes, how many, should there be additional features like 3-band EQ?
Do you want midi functionality?
Would you like to have a soundcard in your mixer?
If you provide answers to those questions, people might be able to help you more specifically.
I have the DJM-800 for years and honestly i find the effects are cheesy, they sound harsh & whenever i’m playing with it the meters will go out to amber/red.
The reason i bought it just because it’s the only best thing in 2008 in our country, at that time we dont have any other choices (except behringer/numark) and didnt have any Denon’s around, what’s more to say A&H?
BUT it’s an easy & fun mixer though. you can get them pretty cheap & easy nowadays since the new generation mixers came out.
