Used ome rane mixers at the plasa light & sound show in london...great mixers - aimed at the scratch dj type market but v.pricey (I think you're looking at around 800GBP for a decent one)
I currently use a vestax mixstick - which is great build quality, really nice x-fader but only 2 eq's which dont attenuate/amplify too much which is pretty crappy - u can pick these up in the uk for 250GBP nowadays. I think at around the same price range the only decent alternative would be one of the pioneer 2-channel mixers. Great Eq's but xfader doesnt have curve control/hamster and it dips in the middle which is a bit annoying. A few mates have picked up Allen + Heath mixers recetnly and Ive played out on them a few times...worth checking out - some nice features along with the same kind of nylon faders they use on studio desks. One of them has the channel gains on the back panel for some obscure reason tho - think thats just the housey one. Dunno what the price tag is tho on them - think maybe 400GBP which is maybe out your budget Personally i reckon its worth saving up a bit longer and splashing out a bit more on a mixer - I wouldnt touch anything made by gemini,numark,kam or any of the budget makes - they generally fall apart within 6months, also apart from the now reduced mixstick, all the cheapo vestax mixers tend to have xfaders which die after a few months - only the vca ones are worth looking at IMO. hope that helps ! peace, Marc > -----Original Message----- > From: joe ruster [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 03 December 2002 22:28 > To: 313@hyperreal.org > Subject: (313) mixer advice > > > need mixer advice: two Numark's went sour...would like a Vestax (pmc). > anyone have knowledge of Rane products? ...or, how about some general > comments about the good the bad (possibly ugly, if you include > Gemini)...price range around $300-350....thanks>>j > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the designated recipient(s) named above.
