I’m looking to upgrade my DJM400 to a 3+ channel mixer. I just use it along with an X1 and traktor but I’ve been wanting to get a remix deck or ableton channel going.
Anyways I just wondered if anyone had any USB mixer recommendations?
That NOX303 looks alright, pretty no-nonsense mixer - but I can’t find the soundcard specs for it which is worrying, and no channel filters and the effects look pretty weak. On the other end of the spectrum is the DJM750 or the XONE DB2 - that’s kind of my limit in terms of price - but again, dedicated channel filters…
Well it depend on what you’re looking for I mean I can’t say much because you really have to touch the mixers yourself. It’s best to either get a list or put one together and do your homework. Get some advices or suggestion on each mixers you’re looking at. Look at the reviews on them but don’t make that your finally decision, anyone can tell you one mixer is better than that mixer.
You mention three channels haved you looked at Behringer VMX300 USB, Gemini Gemini PS-626USB?
You may want to get 4 channels instead.
I found out about the NOX and Gemini lines shortly before I saw your post hellnegative. I knew a price of $2-300 was too good to be true! For the price of the DNX1600, I’d much rather go with the soon-to-be DJM750 - effects, layout, (looks). The real question is whether I can afford to go the extra mile for the DB2 or 850 in terms of cash cause that would be the dream.
Really just need to wait for the 750 to come out to give it a try, and then weigh it against an 850 or DB2. The other thing a mate recommended me is the Z2 because it’s so much cheaper and would let me route remix decks out the master still - but I can’t help but think a Pioneer or Allen & Heath mixer would be a better investment…
I should be clear that it’s used. But, still. They sell for $800 - $1000 on eBay all day long, and seems to be a hell of a mixer without having to pay the “Pioneer tax”.
