thoughts on behringer ddm4000
im in the market for a mixer priced around 200-300 GBP ive looked at the ddm4000 and it seems like it has the most features for a decent price. just wondered if anyone had any feedback on this mixer or if anyone knows of a similar mixer for a reasonable price?
when they came out they were pretty badass, unfortunatey i would not recommend one as anything more than a starting mixer now.
I loved mine. It is a lot of fun.
I didn’t have any problems whatsoever with mine. But mine never left the house. If yours won’t leave the house, I’d say get one.
You’re not gonna find anything as much fun as the DDM4K for the same or similar money. 
Loving my behringer ddm4000 even more this is my second ddm 4000 first one i had second hands for 80€ a freind of mine needed a mixer for a upcoming gig and borrowed and loved the mixer so i had to sell it
no i got a newone for 75€ but i could stand the headphone socket so i juist modified the headphone jack
i solder a second headphone jack elsware and both are working.
I have been been wanting to go with an external mixer for Traktor for about a year. I looked long and hard at the DDM4000 mixer with a Behringer FCA610 four channel sound interface (four channel sound cards are hard to find and expensive!).
I have had good luck with Behringer gear over the years. I have several EP2500 amps, DEQ2496 digital EQ, and DCX2496 digital PA managers that have been in service for 5 or 6 years.
I ended up getting a used Denon X1600 instead. On the Denon, the killer feature was the built in four channel sound card, that made it a MUCH better choice for me. The faders on the X1600 also feel better to me than the faders on the DDM4000.
While the A&H DB2 and Pioneer 900 will always make me drool…for the $$$ I am way more than happy with the X1600.
I understand u… But over the years i have teached my sekf something… And that is i don’t compare i just search for things I need and get it otherwise it will be to difficult to come to a decision.
So for now the ddm4000 is the best mixer in the world
Denon gear is fantastic. Bang for buck it blows away the others.
If it had channel filters, I woulda kept my X1600 and sold my DJM800, but I like my channel filters too much.
Yea denon is great.. And the filters is what i am missing on al channels on the ddm4000 got 2 filters for only to chnls
But they’re BOTH freely assignable.
And, unless I’m, missing something - you only have 2 hands, right?
The lack of a dedicated filter per channel is the biggest complaint I have about the X1600. The filter effect is fine, and I can “make due” with only one filter…but I certainly feel like I am making a compromise there.
I will eventually find some MIDI knobs to put to the task of being per channel filter controls…but that’s for another day.
I owned this mixer for about a year. It was a pretty good mixer for the price. My only complaint was it wouldn’t seem to save my settings. I had to reprogram everything every time I turned on the mixer.
Had my DDM4k for about a year and it rocks. Works nice as a standalone MIDI controller and is a solid external mixer. The onboard effects are alright, but tbh I use it as a Traktor mixer, so just rock those FX.
Also, it looks pretty badass
