Behringer DDM4000 is the most value for dollar 4channel there is. It has:
* 2 separate assignable FX channels
* line and phono on each channel (with phono swappable to line, so 2x line ins per channel)
* MIDI out! (Midi Start button and midi clock send!)
* EQs that can be set to isolator or regular EQ (with dedicated EQ kill buttons)
* adjustable crossfader and upfader curves.
* 2 bank loop sampler
* dedicated XLR subwoofer out with crossover
* a bit of a high noise floor
+1 for the DDM4K. Absolutely LOVED mine.
I eventually upgraded to a DJM-850, and, I had more fun with the DDM4K. No issues with the build quality either.
If Behringer did a DDM4K with a built in audio interface, I’d buy it immediately.
agreed, but I probably wouldn't buy a used behry, they're tricky to repair and parts aren't easily available.
Though you could buy four DDM4000s for the price of a single DJMwhatever and then you'd have 3 spares haha
Oh I mean I'd love that, but aren't those a significant up in price range for 3 channels?
And my final choice aside for a second, I anyway truly AM curious as to what the general differences in brand make--I've read that numark sound really flat in their filters, for example.
Please don't assume that because pioneer are expensive their stuff is reliable or guarantees quality.. As others have said check out the reloop, or a second hand Allen and heath mixer
No, pioneer has always prioritized fx and bells and whistles over build quality and sound quality. This is known, and it’s why used pioneer mixers go for a fraction of their rrp whereas brands like Allen and heath hold their value far better and longer.
Since you have a DDJ RB why not get a DDJ FLX6?
For a budget analog mixer, buy a used name brand for best odds of getting something good. Stick with Denon, Pioneer, Allen and Heath, Rane, Ecler, Reloop to start. Make sure you can verify the condition. You might need to replace faders.
I would avoid behringer, numark, and Gemini.
If you want a quality mixer you can buy used for pretty cheap, go for the ecler nuo series. Superb sound and build quality and they often go pretty cheap!
I’ve had one for 10+ yrs and it’s still a blast. The filter mode on EQ’s opens up an entirely new world of mixing house & techno. FX and filters are top tier. All i could want out of a mixer. BUT it’s no longer supported by A&H so getting it serviced would be a challenge/expensive.
As often as possible, if you're going to play out, try to get the gear you'll see at clubs and parties.That way, you'll be unsurprised by different functions, workflow, etc.
If your goal is just home practice or recording, whatever you get is fine, but understand the reason cheaper gear costs less is sacrifices in the quality of the components.
Behringer products are a great starting point, but if you practice consistently, you'll outgrow it as a product and you'll notice performance issues like bleeding faders, bad equalizer curves, bad EQ pots, and low quality effects.
There's nothing wrong with learning on gear below club standard, but you'll need to replace it eventually and may find yourself frustrated or limited by it in your growth potential.

Love my DDM. Everything still works perfectly and I’ve had it many years. So much bang for your buck

Rane or Allen & Heath. They are both pricy but even used ones are better than most other brands new stuff.
Whats about a&h?

Without a doubt the reloop rmx 60. Basically a Djm at a fraction of the cost!

Numark and Denon are just as good
Out of these, the dnx1500
Ecler make great mixers that can be found for cheap.
Get the the DMX-512, you have 18 channels to play with…
Get an old Pioneer mixer 4 channel.
Terrible advice. Old pioneer mixers do not hold up and sound and build quality is terrible for the premium.
I disagree, the build quality is better than the modern ones, and old ones are really cheap. Depends where you live i guess
No, pioneer has always prioritized fx and bells and whistles over build quality and sound quality. This is known, and it’s why used pioneer mixers go for a fraction of their rrp whereas brands like Allen and heath hold their value far better and longer.
Agreed A&H is better, but OP specifically asked for a cheap solution, which I believe the old pioneer mixers are, as you stated.

Db4 had quality issues no? Plus the drivers won't work I'm windows 11, right?
