affordable(but decent)scratch mixers

Post by Mr. Davenport »

what lower end dj mixers are comparable to more expensive ones? my cross fader has seen its last days. i have had the fader fixed several times now but its going quicker everytime. like 2-3 months between repairs so i want a new one. nothin fancy, just somethin that has a slippery fader for scratching.

I would look out for one with replaceable crossfader.. since at the end of the day if you get a cheap or expensive one, the xfader will still die eventually.

Might sound like something cheap that doesn't work, but believe me, this mixer has a great crossfader and is really good for scratching.
