No love for Pioneer DJM-T1
Posted on: 17.06.2012 by Shari Conkling
For someone who has two technic 1200 mk2's with shure m447, I'm looking for the right digital mixer for Traktor. What is your opinion on the Pioneer DJM-T1 mixer for traktor. It seems nobody is talking about this mixer. Why is that? Thanks!

How is it double the price? The DJM will cost less

Still not nearly as simple as having something that was designed and layed out to be used w/ Traktor like the DJM T1. Personally, I like the T1 a lot

It comes with the software.
Effects are available through Traktor
Nicely integrated with Traktor (I was previously using an analogue mixer and an X1 - this looks much more accessible)

If I was to go down the Denon route, i'd have to buy the software and an X1, the advantage being the built in effects (still got effects in Traktor) and the 2 additional channels (which I won't use). Yet I'd lose the integration.

I'm from Manchester in the UK and the name "EDM" makes my skin crawl.
Lol i'm from Newcastle, same here

24.12.2012		I bought a T1 3 months ago now and i have no other comment than AMAZING
beats the Z2 in my oppinion, solid, looks great and its pioneer so it will last a life time

sounds great and very easy to use, and with the new update, it can do a lot more

great purchase

go for it!!!!

22.08.2012		so no love for the T1?

08.08.2012		Not feeling the X600 to be fair.
Addie Engbrecht
08.08.2012		Especially considering the x600 isnt scratch certified so you would need to buy an audio interface. (yes I do know the trick for the x600, but that only worked in windows.....not even sure if you can do that anymore anyways)

That bad? There's not a thing thats bad about it. Tight integration of controls w/ Traktor, scratch certified sound card, and it even comes w/ Traktor Scratch Pro license. A lot of people on DJTT are gonna push the Denon 1600 (pretty good mixer too) just cause the built in FX and 4 channels suits more of the EDM crowd, which is the crowd that is predominant around here. Either way, both good mixers. FYI: Denon 1600 doesnt come with any software license

07.08.2012		i believe the price tag is too high, at first glance I see a DJM-400 with a USB soundcard and some midi buttons for traktor. For djs that use DVS i see them getting a DJM800/900 for going the Rane route for that price. Pio over priced it by 1.5x for what it should sell
Valene Guasp
07.08.2012		I'd advise checking out the Denon DNX 1600 before buyng

depends..if you're a pio fanboy and use mac...sure
if you use pc you would be better of with a denon X600 + X1 (cheaper, easier to sell later, you get a proper mixer with EFX, send/return,...etc..)
