Hey folks, I've got a Behringer VMX 100 mixer and, after finally getting the hang of beat matching, fancy a mixer upgrade. What would you lot out there recommend? Working with a budget of £250 at most.

Pioneer DJM 300 2 channel pro mixer £229 or
Vestax PCV 175 3 channels £245
I've got the vmx100 i don't think the beat counter helps you to mix, just creates more distraction

that's true about the beat counter, according to mine there's no such speed above 160 bpm - it usually gows blank or drops the first figure if it does.

beat counters,bpm calculators etc, they don't work. i got them on my mixer but i've never used them,never needed to

Hey Atlas, the place where I got my mixer from sells them, that's http://www.htfr.com I went to the shop to get my decks and I saw them in the cabinet! Dave! |
Raver_Davie |
Ah crap just noticed you're in the states and I'm in lil ol' UK. I found the behringer official site but most of it is in german
http://www.behringer.com/index.cfm?lang=ger I see what you mean though, they are hard to get hold of, it could be a way to make money, for the company it's better for you to buy a whole new mixer than just a crossfader! I suppose you could email them and hope they understand english! Dave! |

The mixer I/The world famous DJ SY has been known to use is the Vestax PMC06 Pro A 2 channel mixer
It's Amazin for scratchin 'n' a would definately reccomend it if you want an upgrade

RAVER DAVE:

DJ AFFLICTION has a good point. I have a stanton mixer and am goin vestax when I get round to it. The mixer is so narrow its untrue - Look into it on www.vestax.com
-I love my decks, just looking at them at night before I go to bed and getting up in the morning with my hair in a mess just stood there in my boxers mixing thinking im the bomb- |

It depends on what kind of mixer you want.
If its just for hardcore or you want to do some scrathing go for the pmc05 or pmc 06 from vestax. Theire excactly the same but the 05 has a mic. If you want something more for mixing get the pcv 175 which is pretty good too for round that price. You cant beat a vestax mixer. Though eccler are pretty good. Good new faders.
I use a pmc 05 pro2

And if youre planning on doing any scratching dont get a gemini mixer. The faders wont last a month

lol thanks, it is pretty. I don't know if you folks in the states have Citreon Saxo's, they may be a bit small for your roads (since you have 5.0 litre Mustangs and 8.0 litre Vipers!)
