for the last four years, i had a cheap (60 euro) gemini 2 channel mixer, but the faders and eq's started to crackle more and more. so eventually i punched one of the faders off of it, out of frustration.. so, a year ago i bought a reloop (not the best decision i ever made...) which arrived with broken faders (!), and apparently it took the germans 5 'guarantee-repairs' before it worked.. never again. but at least i can mix again.

i know, i know.. but it feels so good. so much satisfaction in violently breaking something that pissed you off time and time again  big_smile

nah, not quite as i already found out. but i wasn't willing to fork out 3 to 400 euro for a 'fancy' mixer (pioneer/xone..) with all kinds of neat stuff and buttons i'll never use anyway. i rather buy a few extra records. and the few rodec's i've tried don't seem to feel right for my mixing style somehow.

Mate i know what you mean.....i despise Pioneer, and all of it's shiny, plastic, stupid effects, super-star dj bullshit...& who the fuck decided they were 'industry standard'?
I mean just look at this monstrosity?wtf this is all wrong...dj's more obsessed with twiddling knobs that playing good records. £2000 for this, it's should go in the 'Stupid products' thread. mad

In saying that...this DJM 250 retails for £179, it has XLR outs(unusual for a mixer in the price range), if all you needed was a 2channel mixer, it's pretty nice...better than reloop anyway big_smile

Just a second hand XTC from dateq will go for about 100 to 150€ nowadays and will work even when throwing 3 full glasses of beer on it (seriously tested) wink

i should've gone to the store and test a few different models instead of buying online, really disliking the 'fader curve'.. don't seem to get it right , whatever i try with them.
