Looking into 4-deck mixers. Recommendations?
Looking into 4-deck mixers. Recommendations? Posted on: 23.03.2013 by Vernie Kuam Hello again, everyone.After having stuck with 2-deck mixing for the past two years, I find myself wishing that I had a third (and sometimes fourth) deck to mix with. My mixing style is quite reminiscent of what I have seen of Kissy Sell-out, using accapellas, instrumentals, and the like not uncommonly. I also scratch, and it would be nice to have another deck dedicated to scratching. What four-channel mixers would you recommend? I have used serato all my dj life, and do not use a lot of effects. I mix aggressively and often, but do throw in delays/loop rolls/filter/flange on occasion to spice things up. As for my price range, I'd prefer to spend less than a thousand, as I have to pay for medical school next year. I have no qualms about used gear . | |

| Vernie Kuam 25.03.2013 | I'm currently working with Herlsy to get his Xone 42! Can anyone comment on the durability/attack of the crossfader for scratches? |
| Mi Gabele 25.03.2013 | I need 4deck mixer as well, what I ended with a x1600 for now. Still will have to wait till I sell my z2. |
| Alphonso Deitchman 25.03.2013 | You may want to check the mixer you buy has replaceable faders, since most 4 channel mixers aren't made for scratching you could replace the stock faders with an Innofader or two. |

| Addie Engbrecht 24.03.2013 | Rane Empath.....only 3 channels but awesome mixer |
| Gaynell Rydberg 24.03.2013 | No. Completely analog. There's also the Behring DDM4000 or Nox 606, but I haven't used either one. They're quite popular for an at home mixer. |
| Vernie Kuam 24.03.2013 | Does the 42 have midi controls that is can send to software? |
| Margaretta Hebenstreit 24.03.2013 | agree with the xone, although i believe their crossfader is not really well suited for scratching. you might have to exchange it if you pick up one. but i don't have any experience with scratching and other mixers than my xone, so... |
| Gaynell Rydberg 23.03.2013 | If you don't need effects, then Xone 42. Can pick one up used for 400-500. |
