behringer dj thing - erutufon|nofuture

nempsey · 30th January 2006

since my dj mixer is giving up the ghost i figured i may as well kill 2 birds with one stone and get one of these

http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/s...roduct_id/5423

anyone know what's going on, when they will be out? they were meant to be out ages ago...suggests problems with software probably.

and no 'don't buy behringer they are crap get an ultimate dj mixer that costs the price of a small house' comments please

not sure if the faders are replaceable in that thing??? might be worth checking out first, as they dont look very strong in the pic. especially if you going to get down to some shoogling action.

I think Behringer products sometimes get unfairly branded as having a low build quality.. but they are a bit plasticy. I don't think it matters so much on the midi controllers etc... but a DJ mixer would get a lot more stick..

Well it certainly looks better than the Hercules one

JE:5 · 31st January 2006

I think you get the picture

that 'hercules' is just trouble waiting to happen...

nempsey · 1st February 2006

good point re the replaceables. don't look like they are

there isn't really an alternative to this tho. was considering serato scratch - looks fantastic for beatmatching, but most gigs i get these days are function/pub type things, beatmatching not necessary. so i don't wanna have to drag a set of decks around. tho i suppose i could buy a cheap set of numark cd decks and do that instead of using the laptop. i'd still need to buy a new mixer as well tho.....hmmmmmmmmmm....

do what I do.

Get yourself a USB/Firewire soundcard with 2 sets of stereo outputs (I've got the M-Audio Firewire Audiophile), get Traktor DJ Studio, assign each deck to one or the other of the outputs, click the "use external mixer" button, and then plug the two outputs into channel 1 and 2 of your mixer, and just take your laptop, soundcard and mixer to the gig. Perfect.

Then you can use your existing mixer, or get a cheap shit one.

Beatmatching and all that can be done on the screen with keyboard/mouse, and crossfading and levels on the mixer.

nempsey · 1st February 2006

no, my existing mixer is broken.

using mouse/keyboard to control the tracks is like trying to play records with one arm. shite...

hence the need for a thing to interface with the tracks.

**Loz** · 1st February 2006

ah, ok, you can't really do that with a mouse

FiST · 1st February 2006

if you manage to track one down dr d, post up what you make of it. looking to get some sort of mixer and that looks like it's do the do for me, for playing records and shnizz of the laptop.

**hektor ruiez** · 1st February 2006

i reckon that would suit you fine ben, but i also reckon you would eat those faders in a day...
is there no spec for this on there web page?

FiST · 1st February 2006

mehr info here http://www.behringer.com/BCD2000/index.cfm?lang=ENG
