Info needed on a mixer

[Oscar Da Grouc]

i dunno what section this should go in, so i'm puttin it here..

i'm lookin for info on the Numark DXM06..

anyone have one, or use one...i was lookin at 1 today and was curious about what u ppl know about it

More often than not, numark means parts are going to deteriorate.

If you want _quality_, Pioneer or Allen & Heath. At least that's what I've heard. Someone with more mixer experience would be better suited to answer this.

I haven't heard alot of things about it! A couple of things I have heard is that it has a bit of a plasticy feel to it. The fader's decent but not if you intend on doing heavy scratching. The FX engine is surposedly fun but gets boring fast. I was basically told its a good entry level mixer for someone who wants an all around intor mixer that'll do a bit of everything decent but not one aspect great. These are just things I've heard I have never actually placed my hands on this mixer and I most likely wont cause I'll only work off Vestax, Pioneer, A&H or Rane mixers. I know that sounds snobby but after you've played on a decent line of mixers it's relaly tough to go back to a middle of the road mixer and be happy!

yea, this would be mainly for just practicing at home and shit...maybe bringing to friends house partys and shit, but that'd be it...

are there any other(cheap'ish) mixers that u'd suggest other then the numark?

[decypher]

Go for a used vestax or rane if you want something that wont start breaking on you... I've seen numerous Stanton crossfaders start bleeding after some minimal use...So if u gotta choose definatly dont go stanton heh... look for a vestax or rane on Ebay...

I had a vestax pmc 05 pro 2 and it ran good, more of a scratch hip hop mixer though, but it next broke down, besides needing to blow the crossfader with compressed air, it did me well for the time i used it..

I had a look at it in the store once... I agree with Gary's "plasticy" comment.

[miss.myra]

looks like a fisher price mixer!

What kind of $$$ are you looking to spend?

[Oscar Da Grouc]

well, nothing THAT much...i was at long and mcquade(only place in vic that has tables and shit) and was lookin at some numark TT200s..

i'm lookin for anywhere between 300-450(at most) for a mixer, cuz each table is 350

[Oscar Da Grouc]

whoa, i just realized..i say "and shit" quite a lot...

[omega_image]

my take on all numark mixers

good to start, break down quick..........

if you have the flow to replace it then go right ahead, but i'd say buy quality

[wigglesworth]

dont cheap out when buying dj equipment. its not an inexpensive hobby. its VERY expensive. either go for serious stuff or dont go at all...save up for a little longer.

[hardstylin]

my buddy has one its pretty sweet for its price built in effects are fun :)

If you don't care about name brands too much you might want to chat with Akeel. He's got some pretty good Ecler stuff and it's reasponably priced. I was impressed with the manufaturing quality of some of this mixers.
Next time you're in Van pop by Masterplan and check out our inventory we have a fiar amount of stuff in stock for you to check out.

[dj_soo]

Ecler makes some good shit.

Numark mixers arent that bad

I've had a few and i've liked them all.

ebbo is just talking out of his ass.. just because he holds records for victoria dj's doesnt mean he know's dick about equipment :P

[meth0dical]

that would work well with my ttx1s. mmm effects.

[Moon]

my friend has that mixer... for the price you pay i think it's pretty damn awesome.

i think shes had it for about 2 years now... not too sure how it's holding up as of now but i haven't heard any complaints
