Hey. new to the forum, i know there is a million threads just like this one and for that I'm sorry. But i want to put my understanding and opinions on these mixers that I'm thinking about buying and see what you guys think. My xone:22 has seriously limited my learning as its absolutely terrible for cutting and i tried to put an innofader in it but something went horribly wrong (heard some sparks and saw some smoke... don't ask) so I decided to say f@#k it and buy a new mixer.
So anyway so far I have the following mixers within my price range:
Rane TTM56s
From what I understand this is a great scratch mixer used by dj's everywhere, I've read they have excellent build and sound quality. But I've also read from some users that the cut isn't as sharp as other mixers, is this true ? Even though it is a nice simple design I'm not really liking the lack of fader controls either (curve and lag adjustment).
Denon DNX600
Only really just started to look into this one, can someone tell me if its any good ?
Pioneer DJM-T1
The only reason why this thing is in my price range at the moment is because it's on special. The thing is but I already own Traktor Scratch Pro 2 and a X1 so im not sure if I should bother with this one, even though I heard the crossfader cuts like a guillotine its bothers me there is no curve adjustments on the line faders. i really like the fact that everything that is on my X1 controller is right there ready to use.
Vestax PMC05 pro IV
Now last but not least the new sibling to the PMC05 family. This is the mixer I'm leaning towards the most, love the midi controls on it even thought it hasn't got everything like the DJM-T1 does (but i have my X1 for that) and I've read that the line faders have decent curve adjust and the cross fader has a nice sharp cut in and good lag adjustment to 1mm (which I'm really liking).
I would appreciate any feedback on these mixers so I can help make up my mind. Please only constructive feedback and criticism, no fanboy bullshit.
thankyou
