Hi

What are your thoughts on this mixer? I have a Pioneer DJM400 now and was curious if this would be an upgrade. Does anyone use this now?

Thank you

yes what is with behringer's LEDs? i have a new xenyx and it's absurdly bright. i bet if you wanted to you could actually lower the light level with a mod involving a resister or something, but probably not worth doing it to a DJ mixer.

I want to use both midi and audio. I like what I have read and seen online just not sure about the quality. Headphone jack is placed in a weird spot but I can live with that if the mixer is good quality.

your recommendations are helpful. thank you.

Ive had mine since March of this year & I love it. I am actually using it for strictly midi & use a audio interface for sound out of the laptop. For the longest time I was using channels 1&4 for decks A & B and Chanel 2 to control effects & Channel 4 for deck D in Traktor. I have used it as both internal & external mixer in Traktor, whenn used as an external You have the option of all your tracktor effects as midi & use of the DDM effects on top of them. Lots & Lots of options with this mixer. I love it & am so glad I bought this rather than a pioneer. I have since added a nano pad & nano control to the mix so Im now using all 4 channels as decks & using the korgs to control my Hot cues & effects. I am now happier than a pig in shit with my def recession proof set up. I would reccomend all the above to anybody thats looking to have allot of control over your music for not that much out of pocket.

You tips where very helpful.

I made the switch. I sold my DJM400 and bought the DDM4000. So far I am very happy.

I have a Behringer DDM-4000 since july 2008 and have used it with a pair of Pioneer CDJ-400 for almost 5 months.

The mixer is pretty well built.

The positioning of the headphone jack was never an issue (although I thought it would be).

The sound quality is ok for a home system, I couldn't notice any difference between Behringer DDM 4000, Pioneer DJM 400 and Allen & Heath Xone 3D. However, when I play in clubs that have a goos sound system the difference of sound quality becomes noticeable, with Xone 3D having the best sound from the three above.

The effect blocks are good, I liked the fact that you can use 2 effects at the same time (this was not an option on Pioneer mixers).

Regarding the fader curves, I liked more the Pioneer ones.

Also I liked the fact that the mixer had a balanced output for a subwoofer, and an integrated crossover and i was able to choose the cutoff frequency and the gain for the subwoofer.

Overall, it is has a very good quality/price ratio. If you will use it for home use or small parties i definitely recommend it. If you will use it on big sound systems, you may want to believe about a Pioneer, Allen & Heath, Rane or another mixer that has better sound quality.

Get One Now There Amazing If Your On A Budget Or Just Not Prepared To Pay Fro Pioneer Products Like Me.

The Only Bad This For Me Is The Channel Level Metres They Were Better On The Djx700 But Still Usable.

I got one and I can say the audio is ok but the best is the midi part as u could just live one channel of the mixer as audio and the rest of it as just midi controller, awsome!

Well, I still have high hopes for this one, even though I am told it should be regarded as not being up to Pioneer standards?

Not too sure, still want to try one for myself.
