How does this compare to the DDJ-SX? I know its cheaper. Im looking for an upgrade from my DDJ-SB and I want a 4 chan mixer

Difficult question to answer. All companies have their own quality of product, Pioneer is a higher end (more expensive) brand than Numark. However when comparing these two controllers, the DDJ-SX comes out on top. The overall build quality and feature set are just way better. Hence the larger price tag. This controller is more in the mid range for pricing and features. While the DDJ-SX is more on the mid - high end. If you are looking for a Numark controller similar to the DDJ-SX you need to look at the NS-6. Which is just about around the same price and features almost all of the features and build quality.

Hello there. I got this one to replace an old model. I am a full time musician and I use this device as practice tool and a demo recording device. You'd even record complex 8 track pieces if you'd use it with Amplitube's studio for an iPad.It sounds great for a tiny and fairly in expensive sound device like this.I would suggest you to go for a newer model though.It will cost you about 40$ more but it has Midi and other features, I would go for it myself if I wouldn't have this one.P.S. The only minus of these devises compare to they cheaper predecessor is that you can't change your iPhone or an iPad while recording or practicing. Keep in mind that the apps for these devices are power consuming. Hope it helps. Hello there. I got this one to replace an old model.

I have the same mixer. I looked at Mackie's website and it's the same mixer. I like it and it works well for me.

I would go with the Hamilton-Beach mixer. This one is very loud and I don't think that it would last very long.

No quality difference! But keep in mind, these headphones have literally no bass to them. I love JLab, and these are my least favorite. Go with the J4's. They have the most powerful bass and overall gorgeous sound. I have had multiple friends switch to the J4's.Enjoy!!

From what I can tell, it is the physical knobs for each of the controls. Also when I did the research I was looking at the Compact and the Producer, and they only had 16 XLR input channels and from what I could tell, you had to purchase the S16 digital snake. I opted for the full board as everything is available right in front of you and there are less "layers" that you have to scroll through (IE on the Compact or Producer I believe that you have 4 separate buttons with 8 channels each and with the full board you only have 2 buttons with 16 channels each. I am no doubt a professional yet, but I wanted to learn on a full board with as much in front of me as possible and that why i chose this. Was it right, that I do not know but i LOVE the board and so does the band that I mix for. On the rack mount version - I really know nothing about it. I would assume that its the same and maybe controlled by the X32 control software available. The large board hooked up perfect to my DAW (Studio One) and connected pretty easy with my MAC. I ran into a little trouble with the LAN because I connected a wireless router to a wireless router, but after I figured this out it works like a champ. Another reason I went with the X32 versus digital boards is how many youtube videos I could find on training. Excellent selection - many of which are from Church perspectives but its a band they are mixing - and usually have more to deal with than straight mixing music. Hopefully that is a little explanation - but if I was to spend the money for the Compact, Producer or the Full board, hands down I would purchase it again. While it might be $100-1500 difference, the full board for me works great.

Sure! The DDJ-SR comes with the Serato DJ Software. However, it is only useful for recording mixes/remixes. If you want to produce your own music you should get another software like Ableton 9 Live.

I don't have the mcpx but from what I've heard I think the nano cpx is a lot more twitchy. If you've had some experience with fixed or collective pitch then the nano cpx would be a good choice. If you're looking to get into fixed/collective pitch then go with the mcpx

Honestly, I can not compare as I have not tried the other. Obviously, it has lots more power. As a previous audiophile, I can tell you that although "sound bars" are convenient they do not compare with real amplifiers and reals speakers. I can tell you I am happy with the sound, and the digital input works well with my 60 inch 1080p 3D TV. My only complaint is when you use digital input you have to use the rinky dink remote that came with the sound bar to control the volume. My advise is don't skimp on sound it is just as important as the picture when it comes to watching movies. Honestly, I can not compare as I have not tried the other.

Hi Rick, I would go with the EP-4000 over the iNuke any time I can. Of course there is also always the Seismic Audio Epicenter 5202 and Magnitude 2400 ;) The Epicenter is the closest power rating of any of these 4. The Magnitude is more powerful for more head room, but you can overload the speaker with that much power. The quality difference with these guys comes down to damping factor. The EP is &gt;300, but the Epicenter and Magnitude are &gt;400 for increased clarity. The iNuke has a lot of "power rating" but doesn't give the better performance.

Get the Hercules, especially with you just getting into DJing, it's a great tool to learn the basics with. I've been djing for a year and half almost 2 years and now that I have the Hercules it's helping be a lot smoother with the transitions and it also helps with getting comfortable with mixing

First of all lets start by saying smart move. My friend that I dj with had an ns7 first of all it's way too bulky , the sound quality isn't anywhere near the sx and the sx is built by the leader of dj equipment!!! I have one and I love it

Yamaha according with my experience ,is the must prestigious brand, and this mixer in particularly have better equalizers and one more aux,also compressors, and 8 more effects so you don't need to be insecure about it.good lock!!

I am definitely not a professional when it comes to audio equipment. This is also my first mixer. I was looking around at the Behringer models and have heard good things about them. Seeing as the Alesis works as well as I need it to, I'd say it's a pretty damn good option for what it's priced at. Hope this helped you.

Dear Mike, all effects are REAL TIME and off course you will hear everything real time, no processing lag et al.Don't worry about effects, you just need to use the right one for the right occasion. Now I have enough experience with this mixer to answer your questions. Could you please tell me the purpose of buying it?

I had a Ninja Pro and returned it. I'm not sure why it gets good reviews. As far as I am concerned it isn't a blender. I tried to make blender hollandaise sauce in the ninja and my old $35 Oster blender did a better job. It is a decent smoothie maker but not as good as the Breville. The Breville does everything I need. I make a smoothie every day and even the greens get chopped up smooth. Never got close to that with the Ninja. Hollandaise sauce comes out great. The best decision I made was to return the Ninja and get a Breville.
