plus, since you mentioned the phono./line switch, that means most 4 channel mixers have 7-8 channels, not 4. you can put turntables, cdjs, samplers, drum machines, fx pads, whatever. its not about excess, its about upping your game. just because you can get by with 2 channels dont mean its the best way, you can always do new stuff with your setup.

also behringer sucks because its made like a playschool toy; cheap plastic, cheap wires, cheap connections. its like someone telling you a datsun is as good as a mercedes because they're the same size and they both have gas pedals and steering wheels. that not why mercedes is expensive, its the engine and the quality and the long life and the way it feels to use.

you and i think alike on this matter.
a 6 channel may be too much, but not four. not from where i come from, and the things ive seen djs do, i want more than two channels.

last night i thought of a way to explaing this,,, and this is a good way to look at it, you know how belt drive turntables dont keep a perfect pitch? and when you adjust it, the pitch tends to go beyond where the selector is... its cause the belt can stretch, and slip on the pulleys inside the turntable. so you get a fluxuation....

same for the behringer. i never noticed it till i have made a couple mixes, and have trained my ear more. but the levels do the same. when more signal is pumped ( xample would be a huge bass note) the rest gets muffled, distorted and sound quiter,,, and when there is no bass,,, the mids and highs pick up a bit,,,


casue bass notes have and need more energy to push and drive the bass speaker, the mids and highs dont require as much. am i making any sense of this?

the mixer is good for a beginner. imo. but not good to record on. if you know you want to do this, dont buy it. get a good mixer. we all have our own opinions but we all know whats good nad whats not... and we have mentioned them here so dont buy a crappy mixer...


please. cause now i wish i bought that three channel vestex, im sure it wouldnt be sounding as shitty as my mixer... lol
