I will mostly just plug to my Stanton T.62, listen and chill. Maybe make some mixes sometimes. Need to hear opinions. Respond quick, please. :)

I know there were lots of threads like this but they don't really help me anyhow. I need to buy a mixer fast and choices are very narrow- 2. So are they any good and will they work out for me?

I have very low budget for a mixer , cuz of crisis for me, lots of other things I need and I don't really need a fancy one, just mostly for listening. They are selling these for 359 Lt (127.634$) and 329 Lt (116.950$)

I can't comment on them but really if you want cheap and simple then they should do just fine.

i have a Numark dxm06 mixer, i traded it for my graphics card with my nephew lmao
I can recommend it, pretty good sound, solid knobs, but most of all:

The DXM06 features 12 DSP effects; all certified for total DJ vibe enhancement.

How about we just delete the whole website and make it redirect you to Google whenever you enter.. Or should we keep linking Google in the first reply to every thread?

Nevermind. I'm having a shitty fucking day and I guess I was taking it out on you and for that I am sorry.

Well sounds like you already ordered it, but I would stay away from both Numark's and Gemini's. You think that they are cheaper, but they are not when you have to replace them after a couple of years.

I have had Rane mixers still going strong after 10 years. I would also go with an Allen and Heath.

Maybe I just have too many bad memories of Numark's and Gemini's. Maybe they have gotten a bit better in the last few years. I personally never wanted to chance it.

lol my first mixer was a gemini, got replaced within a year, it had a "rail glide x-fader" i assume now that "rail glide" is tech talk for "leaky piece of shit"

If those were your only two choices OP, you chose wisely...

There are way more features on that Numark. Just from scanning the picture, you have:

1. Mid Band EQ
2. Volume level LED's
3. Crossfader Slope
4. Crossfader Mode (Forwards, Backwards)
5. Mic Treble & Bass
6. Master Channel cue mode
7. A cue fader vs a knob (which I personally prefer)

That Gemini has none of that shit!

my first proper scratch mixer was a numark dxm pro. I think I still have it somewhere. well I should anyway because I didn't sell it. it's probably in a box somewhere. still using my old Vestax PMC05 with the classic pro x fade installed.
