Let me see... now I am assuming that we have no budget so the sky's the limit so here goes... Oh and forgive me if some of these models are wrong as I know the equipment if I look at it!

- add two more tables, probably those Numark TTX's because I already have Technics -- this would allow me to have a 2x4 setup.
- purchase two new mixers: either a Pioneer 600's or Allen and Heath Zone32 and the other being a scratch mixer IE: Technics, Vestax or maybe a Rane...
- purchase a better speaker system for my decks. The one I have is pretty sick, but since I have no budget, why not.
- purchase a computer system with a wicked soundcard and all the necessary software ideal for recording CD's/audio.
---- The computer is not for production... I just don't have a computer that will allow me to record sets!
- purchase one or two CD decks... either the Pioneer 1000's or the new Numarks.
- purchase Final Scratch to run on my laptop

The price tag on all of that will probably be pretty hefty!

rotary mixers audio processing wise create a way clearer warmer sound, a good example is comparing a DJM-600 to the 2016...the pioneer sounds "very processed" i can hear when a pioneer mixer is being used since it reproduces sounds in a distinct way, tinny highs, muddy low end. (not to say that its not a great mixer - i love it). but compared to a rane rotary its like the difference between an acura NSX and a aston martin vantage.

Sound Masta Akeel...

Out of all the mixers out there, which regular mixer has the best processing (as close to a rotary without being a rotary)?
