well if they are using cheaper parts then it's not really the same is it?
They can copy other great mixers as far as features, layout etc... but if they use inferior parts, it's not gonna be the same, Sound quality, durability, reliability, life of parts and product etc...

If it's all you can afford for now or if you are just considering getting in to DJing and you're not sure if you're gonna be that serious, then that's a different story. If you know this is something you want to do then you should invest in some professional tools.

I've only played on the DJX750 a few years ago, build quality felt bad, faders felt wobbly, sound quality crap, and fx was more or less useless.

The behringer 4000djm is a great mixer for home use and partys. I've owned it for over 2 years and never any problems. For professionl use i would recommend to invest in a rane or pioneer mixer. If you invest in a good mixer you also get alot of the money back when you decide to sell it again.

I've used their Pioneer DJM copy, it looked the same so was familar to use but the build quality isn't the same.

Don't get me wrong, if you need the features/functionality, but can't afford the real deal, it'll get you some of the way, but I doubt it would last as long in the end.

I'd say go for it for a bedroom set up but for pro use you want something reliable.... my Pioneer DJM is 12 years old and still as solid as a rock!

Behringer is about features for the price, and in getting to the lower price point, something has to suffer, in this case it's component quality.

I've never really had anything Behringer completely fail on me, even when I've beat the hell out of it, simply because it IS cheap, but I've never been real comfortable to think nothing would EVER happen to it, but all gear can fail, bottom line.

I have a pair of their Mackie 450 clones, and they've been pretty decent for 3 years of using them sparingly. One of them stopped outputting audio, but when opened up it was simply a wire that had fallen off, and it's still working since then.

There are a few things that are decent enough, but they are a bit spread out within the line.

Personally, I think the stuff is great for a backup, you get pretty much all the features you want (need), and don't need to break the bank to cover your ass in an emergency.

I don't hesitate to buy something I need from them, but like I said, I never think that it's the best component.

i have gone though at least 3 of there mixers in the past 10 years, they ALL bleed a bit, and i have had two faders go out. I never trust it. We had no problem with their amps, and on the speakers you get what you pay for, they are not going to blow you out of the water but they are cheap and throw sound out...

mixer bled after 6 mths,and who wants to send in for repairs after 6 mths.....got a 57sl and never looked back ( after the wife give the ok)

Innovation means taking risks.
Innovation costs money.

Of course copycatting is cheaper. Copycats aren't taking risks. Instead they are just copying proven concepts.

Innovators will stay one step ahead.

If their new controllers are around the price of a dicer or cheaper than an X1 - I will pick one up..

Konix got a review of the NOX606 on his channel:

Last I remember, their MIDI mixers xfaders couldn't carry MIDI and audio signals simultaneously. So if you wanted to use vsl or ME with synced audio/video fades, you're SOL.

DDM400 owner for over 4 years. Not one single issue or problem. This is one of the products they got right. They are known to have decent amps too.

There were more valid complaints about the 68's bad buttons than the DDM. So even Rane makes a bad product.

For all the DDM does for the cost...that is not a big DEAl breaker. The number of people that don't need that feature is far greater than the ones that do.

Ummm...I think you meant 57...and you can't call it a "bad product" because they were very proactive in fixing the "issue". The mixer is still one of the the best products around, period. Trumps anything ever copied from Gheyringer...IMO. Do you think Gheyringer has ever fixed an issue with their products?

Dude pump your brakes. Easy discussion here.

First off you are wrong, it is the 68 that people were complaining about.serato.com
So now with 57 problems that's 2 mixers with issues.

Secondly the reason they were "proactive" in fixing anything, is because it was originally sent out bad.

Thirdly I can't argue how good a product the 68 is, never used it. I can say the 68 came out years after the DDM4000. They had plenty time to copy (yes I said copy) it, and do it better. Minus the stone buttons.

Again 4 years and counting with my DDM4000 and no issues. 95% of people that don't like the mixer have more of a problem with the company and not this particular product.

i have 2 behringer 212d speakers and i love them, and my friends who borrow them love them as well

hmmmm...didn't know the 68 was officially shipping yet...nonetheless...I wouldn't trust my gigs with their equipment. Reputation does go a long, long way...

^doh, I'm thinking the new 62...

Um....I love behringer 212d speakers too, now!! Um...yea...they rock...yay.

Been beating a Behringer DJX750 to hell for about 3 years and never had any issue. I was actually advised to buy this specific make and model by a friend of mine in Tampa who has residency and has been in the game for 10+ years. Not a Ferari but definitely bang for the buck in my opinion.

though i haven't used much of other brands i really do not wish to bash them...., i am running Behringer 12"XL passives powered by a Behringer EP4000 amp. I have plenty of clarity and have never had to go more than 12:00 on the master volume of my NS6 and have achieved great sound. within my Socal area, i have had DJ's comment/cringe on seeing my speaker setup, but once i'm powered up and they hear what i have to put out.. i get... "WOW!!! those cheap speakers can do that?"... LOL

i'm sure it could be a different story or powered speakers.....

Anyhow, i know this is a different conversation from the DDM4000 (which i intend to get) but i am a behringer customer...
