Behringer make the worst products of any kind, ever (no offence to the behringer heads)

my first mixer was a Behringer, was great to learn on but it was really poorly built. by the end 3/4 of the channels had just died

i can't remember the model but it was stanton. the thing weighs like maybe one kilogram and has no torque whatsoever in the platter motor. it's also made from like the cheapest plastic

I remember a time where EVERY bar, no exception, had one of these installed.

This bad boy?

Not so much bad cdjs but a djm800 that was completely fucked - even with the channel fader all the way down the sound still came out the front, so had to beat match out loud basically. This was at a very well-known club too. I told the sound tech guy about it and he basically told me to fuck off..

tbf that rack thing was hooked up to a proper mixer so that wasn't so bad

the jog wheels didn't work at all though, they'd just skip the tune forwards or backwards by a second or some shit

you get used to just using the cue and pitch faders to mix

had to play 3 hours on cdj 200s and a djm600
worst gig ever haha

spoiled tnuc

Played at a small festival in Spain once, they had one of those all in one Numark things. My fucking god.

They were still rocking a pair very similar to these last year at leeds fest, one deck broke and one of the guys lent me an iphone to mix with, started a circle pit to rudimental which i thought was an achievement

apparently people were moshing to my sets at red campsite, was playing stuff like old coki and pinch so that was a bit shot thru aha

Still got mine! However you have put to rest my theory that once I'd made the jump to a respectable pair of turntables it'd be a piece of piss to mix

Soundlab belt drives are by far the worst Ive come across

That's all there was for some time.
I learned to mix on them.

pair of technics where the pitch was adjusted to what must have been +20 at the fastest and +8 at the slowest

no paint on them either due to the amount of cheap vodka that had been lobbed over em

Direct drive version of these are some of the nicest decks I've played on.
