I need a new mixer…

Ok so its time for me to get a new mixer. I use traktor and a launchpad to control the basics of traktor.

Here are some specs i am looking at.

  1. I am looking for a gig worthy so I won’t have to lug around all my gear from the studio every week.
  2. a 2 channel mixer would work but a 4 channel is ideal.
  3. no real budget in mind yet, but I do not want an expensive mixer.
  4. something light

so far the djm 250 and the A&H xone22 are at the top of my list, aswell as a used ddm4000, Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

there are a lot of djm250 vs a&h22 floating around.

your ideal is a 4channel mixer so go for the ddm4000.

thanks :smiley:, i have also added the z1 from NI to the list, granted its more a controller

a z1 is also recommended for a simple cheap and lightweight solution as you won’t need an external soundcard if you don’t have one yet.

just a laptop and z1 and launchpad is okay. :slight_smile:

lol i have enough soundcards between the various mixers/interfaces i own.

Both the DJM 250 and Xone 22 will have better EQ and overall sound+build quality, as well as having decent Filters.

This.

I was stating for a portable set up, no need to bring additional soundcard.
in that case, go for what you feel is right and try before you buy.

well the local music shop will have a nice long visit from me during the day

I agree with makar on this one, tbh the ddm4000 has not aged well, fine for home use but i wouldn’t use one live. Z1 might suit you fine, or depending on your budget, i could not recommend an x1600 high enough, despite some personal bias :slight_smile:
