DJ Mixers

The age old question...

Which do you prefer?

I mean I hear everyone saying Xone 92 to Rane to DJM800 to UREI

kinda makes your head spin!

Honestly for me, the mixer doesn't make a whole lot of difference, but maybe it's because I don't mix on systems that have really good sound for the most part. I do like the knobs on the RANE, I've only used a UREI once or twice, but I work with all kinds and you can make anything sound good if you know what you're doing. I was a hip-hop DJ for many years and learned with slides so I'm very comfortable with those and have one at home. Wish I could afford something better, but that's how it is. The most important thing to me is individual controls (lows, mids, and highs) for each channel.

I love the Rane and Urei mixers for their knobs but I have to say I would rather go with the Rane because it has seperate EQ controls for each channel.

Been leaning towards the Rane and Freemer recommended it too but then someone people say to go with the Pioneer because of the effects that it integrates. Not really sure which way to go.

you will never use half the effects in the pioneer

Rane worked great here, and A/B'd next to an Allen and Heath, the A&H sounds like a total piece of shit!! What to Brits know about mixers :P

Hey Skoob,

If you went with the Rane...you could always pick up a Pioneer fx box on the side.

Booth looks nice! I went with the DJM800. I do like the Rane and the Rane definately sounds better but I felt the DJM800 was more comfortable and the effects on it were awesome!

They have released the 700 now too. Anyone test it?

Chris S. · 10-04-2007, 10:02 AM

is the 700 out yet?
