that's nice =), do I know you, or have I met you?

"The Pioneer DJM-600 is the industry standard for club/electronica acts specified on numerous contract ryders.." right out of akeels post?

Im just stating a fact, he argued with someone, im saying from proof I know the opposite, only dj that I can think of that asked for it was Donald Glaude. Although maybe 3 years ago it was different. But yo, sorry to upset you!

As for the ecler it looks nice..., I agree with mux, but until I try it foot in mouth right?

anyways closed door, unless someone else wants to jump on my opinion.

BTW: anyone try this one out yet? the Denon DN-X1500

man this is a stupid thing to argue about...i for one am not arguing; lets call it a discussion! :) In my experience, both clubs and raves, the most common mixer requested has been the pioneer 600...when i worked at masterplan we only kept 1 a&h in stock and it sat on the shelf 90% of the time, meanwhile the 6 Pioneer 600's were always out on shows. The majority of the ryders i've come in contact with have primarily specified a Pioneer 600, but thats only what i've seen doing production for the last 5 years.

Kyle, I said the Pioneer appears on numerous ryders, period...just cause its not on every one you see @ sonar doesn't mean its not a popular mixer.

Btw, doesnt Donald's ryder still want a Vestax 07? guess he upgraded.

Also Kyle, I think you'd like the ecler, its very versatile with a clean sound. I was a bit wary of the USB fx editor at first but so far its working without a hitch. :D

I've tried the Denon out, and yep they got it in the cellar. Denon's overall build quality is great but this is their first venture in making a high end club mixer with fx, so i dont know if i would go out and buy one just yet. Usual assortment of toys on there, but the matrix inputs is what everyone is raving about.

haha i just thought it was a stupid thing to dig into

who cares which one of the 2 was more popular... but personally i was always under the impression the pioneer was ALOT more common to see than the allen&heath... as futher described by akeel

Moon · #31 (**permalink**) Sep 03, 04

ive used the denon at tonic and au bar... i find the fx not as fun to play around with as the pioneer but a level up from the allen&heath.. but its an alright mixer. i'd be more than happy to own one for myself

Diamonite · #32 (**permalink**) Sep 03, 04

Allen&Heath's have just about the same options as the Pioneer-600 right? But the A&H's are just more expensive....? I guess if you have the money the A&H's would be nice.

nah man, big difference between the pioneer 600 and the xone:62. Pioneer has more fx but sounds like shit compared to the A&H...A&H Xone:62 really has only 1 effect but it has a 4 band eq and more dedicated mixing channels.

They're really a different breed of mixer. A Pioneer you can scratch on and do a multitude of fx and sampling. A Xone:62 is more of a mixing instrument - great for doing those 10 minute mixes.

The new mixers coming out have a lot more room for creativity though, like the ecler this thread is about and the new denon and the a&h xone:92.

Diamonite · #34 (**permalink**) Sep 03, 04

Oh okay, Yeah the 92 looks pretty nice as well. Just a fan of DJ'ing really :P I haven't really gotten around to buy any equipment.

I have read almost every major touring Dj's ryder and I can tell you that only three mixers ever show up.
1) Allen and Heath
2) Rane Rotary
3) Pioneer DJM600

The DJM 600 seems to be the most common and the favorite of proberly 90% of the dj's currently touring. The rotary is used by about 3% and the rest like the sound of the allen and heath. In my personal experience I find that the A & H board has superior sound quality but lacks in the ability to remix and give the dj the freedom to be creative on the fly without bringing in other components. The Rotary is a good board but hard to navigate if you are unfamiliar with it and again no added options. The pioneer 600 has decent quality of sound but packages alot of additional options into it that makes it the most popular by far.
That's my two cents

Diamonite · #36 (**permalink**) Sep 04, 04

Akeel what would you say is a decent setup for a rookie to practice spinnin' at like home or something like that. I'm lookin' to try it out but i'm not really made of money right now. Heh.

Akeel · #37 (**permalink**) Sep 04, 04

i'd say find a friend with turntables and practice on his stuff before making the plunge to buy. thats what i did.

Diamonite · #38 (**permalink**) Sep 04, 04

Ok, thanks a bunch. But the problem is....i'm still 16 and none of my friends spin :(. Kind of out of luck in that way.
