I have got to say that the Pioneers' FX are excellent and well integrated. In fact, their mixers which I've used are fabulous for Techno-style DJing (i.e. heavy-handed FX & EQ use). Way better than A&H. I always felt that the A&H user interface affords the DJ to put too much thought into the mixing.
As long as you don't overload the inputs, pretty much any mixer is transparent enough. I'm happy to use my 3-channel, 3-band Numark. It really doesn't color the sound in any meaningful way, and the fader curves feel natural enough. But I definitely agree with tom, that gains should be accessible and give you plenty of gain for playing your older records that were pressed at like -24 relative to today's music. -Gil ----- Original Message ---- From: Paul Kendrick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Thomas D.

It just annoys me when you hear people using them all the time to cover there bad mixing.....if you want FX buy a separate unit -----Original Message----- From: Thomas D.
