I've had one now for almost 2 months and never had that problem and I use it regularly. Sounds like Behringer's quality control is an issue. Either you get a good mixer or you get a dud like yours.

I read as far as BEHRINGER in the title and I already knew what this thread was about.

Well yeah, but your Jesus, so you already knew before it was thought of being typed.

Yeah... true... but still. Seriously. You get what you pay for. Why do you think that Behringer mixers are 1/4 the price of any other competitive product with the same features? They are notorious for reverse-engineering competitive products, coming up with a way to make a similar product in the most cost-effective way possible, then treating you like ass when you call to complain.

I've a ddm4000 for about 3 months now and I love it. I love that I can do everything from the mixer and never have to reach for the laptop. Never had to take out and gig with it though. I definitely doesn't feel like it could take too much abuse.

I wonder if the mixer turned off bcuz some dude was dancing with your girl again. Could happen...

Pioneer djm 800 ftw

I think almost everybody has had a behringer buyer's remorse experience. Taught me to never buy crappy gear again.

Ive heard similar horror stories about behringer

lol!

I got this mixer when it first came out
www.scratchlive.net
here is an old post:


I felt it had poor build quality and the knobs and faders felt funny, everything worked but it just felt weird! Maybe because I already had a 57. I think the 4000 would be great if it was the first mixer you ever used, then you wouldn't know what a real tank feels like! Sort of like a GMC Jimmy VS an Escalade.

I agree, if you go into this purchase after using a $600+ mixer, you will not be happy. But I have never owned an expensive mixer and for me, it fits my needs perfectly. I have used my friends ttm57sl and of course it feels / sounds better than my Behringer, but then again it did cost 4x of my Behringer.

haha kadilac.. i liek the comparison

but this mixer might be fine to play around with in ur bedroom, but what fun is it when u cant take out on the road with u ?
because after 2 hours of palying on the mixer in the club... it shut down.. and then abotu an hour later it shut down again!
serious ?

this mixer blows, i dare anyone to take it out and play on it for hours upon hours.

I've done about 7 gigs on it each being 4hrs + with zero problems.

I've done practicing at my house for 1-2 hours probably like 20+ times and never had that problem either.

Sorry you got a dud.

BTW, I'm not saying that it will never happen to me but it hasn't happened yet.

I did play 2 of my biggest gigs with the 4000.

Q-Dog Party

Yes Sir!

guyz can anyone telll me which is the best midi cable/interface work with the DDM 4000 because i bought the M-Audio UNO and it didn't work and I Already Changed the mixer from the dealer here :( sooo helpp please with one good MIDI cable work with this Mixer

dood, the uno works fine. it worked with mine..

u gotta go and program the mid section in the mixer.

only use midi out. nothing else.

mate i even tried the midi out only and it send midi msgs as shown from the Software or the midi adapter in the UNO but it in the Software ihe moves of the faders or the knobs looks sooo slow or even sometimes not working :( , I google the internet and read some forums many people doesn't work with them using the UNO so that's why i tried to change it .... IM not Ameture I have A lot of Midi contollers and Many DAWS to control them the Cable seems to work Perfect with M-Audio Stuff LIke Axiom-25 or the Evolution UC33e Midi controllers ....

AND I CHANGED THE MIXER TWICE FROM THE DEALER SO I DON'T THINK BOTH MIXERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM :( ...

Sooo DIssappointed

^^

+1

I just bought one yesterday...
The buttons felt funny, like they weren't working properly.
I plugged the thing in and the display was glitching out so I turned it off then back on and all the lights lit up, stayed on and the display just continued to glitch out. That's all it does now.. Lights up and bugs out. I'm seriously reconsidering the purchase of this mixer and think I may be better off going with anything else at this point.

No further experience with Behringer after DJX-700 years ago. I liked it and it DID take a beating for several years with no issues. I even fried out one channel at a crappy bar once, but the thing kept on playing (right channel only). Had it repaired and worked like a champ. I don't know anything about the DDM-4000, but it sounds like when you ask Behringer to so something that Pioneer or Rane should be doing, it craps out on ya.

I've had three DDM4000s. One completely crapped out such that when I turned it on there was no display or sound - only blinking lights. On another one, the channel 4 fader became useless. The third one seems to be doing alright ... for now.

I put an innofader PNP in one of them and an innofader Pro in another one of them. They are a ton of fun but as people have said here - they are pretty much disposable. Too bad. I would gladly pay double the price for a reliable version of this.

I have found this site due to a DDM4000 issue. I bought one 6 weeks ago and looks lovely when set up. After a short time my right speaker stopped working so I eliminated slowly. The first thing I did was gently touch the slider on channel 1 on the mixer and the speaker kicked in. 5 minutes later it did it again so I touched the slider again and it sorted it so that told me it's not the amp or speakers etc. Sent it back and now have a replacement. I don't use it a lot but it's on tonight and guess what's happened?? yep you have it, I have a right speaker issue problem AGAIN. This time I turned the balance on the amp to the right speaker and the sound was low and distorted so I left it there and put a DVD in the player. I then selected the amp input to DVD and the sound kicked in so that eliminated any speaker wire issues in the amp. I touched the slider again and nothing happened so wasn't the slider this time. I also fiddled with the output on my PC and it didn't change anything. I then quickly turned the main volume knob on the mixer up and down a few times and the sound came back. This eliminates all of my gear so it's obviously another problem with this mixer which is sad as I like it. I have read other problems and now realise that this mixer looks better than it's built. If it continues it's going back and I will get the Pioneer DJM900 NXS2 but the price difference is £1500 which is a MASSIVE amount so I pray the DDM4000 will be ok.

what you are describing is a bleeding fader, it needs to be replaced,

if you ask me behringer products are shit

I am sure you know your stuff being a DJ but the fader hasn't given me any hassle. It's the slider on channel one on the first mixer and the master volume on the second one. Can you please explain how it's the fader and also how you know as this would be helpful if I send it back. Looks like it's the Pioneer then lol

This nice lady informed me

Watchwww.youtube.com

I had mine since it's been out and have not had one single issue. Even after being dropped 4 times.

Well it's not my year for luck mate. Half hour ago the right speaker stopped again so I twisted the volume button on the mixer and it came back to life so the mixer is obviously at fault here and yet this is the second one. I have read many reviews on this mixer and it's been slated quite a bit. I will give a a few more days and decide what to do. I don't really want to pay £1700 for a Pioneer but if I have to you can get it for £64 a month lol.

Like many fellow Dj's I have kids and it's tough to buy an expensive mixer that we all want to be rockin. I'd kill to have a Pioneer or Rane, I settled for a Ns6 that I've been using for 6 years, also I reversed my gear and also purchased a DDM 4000 and some pioneer turntables, I use both set ups hours upon hours at Mobile gigs all live club gigs. It's midi Mappable and works great with serato or scratch live. I know they have a crossfader replacement the X1 by beringer that helps fox that strange feeling we all feel. I've played with various other mixers that my uncle my Mentor owns, yes it has a different sound and feel overall when scratching. Looking into the X1 upgrade that runs about 30 dollars. If your a mix dj I think it has everything you need, for scratching maybe it can do better. For the price we can't expect it to live up to our friends and families pioneer or ranes.

Good Day I have a Behringer model DDM4000 for the last three years. With in less than a year this model seems to have a problem. The issue I'm having with it is that it freezes ( all the lights come on and the audio fluctuates at different levels). Is this a common issue that customer have? And how can the matter be fixed?

I guess its time for a better mixer. It looks so pretty though.

This is the same issue Im having. The Technical support was no use. They said they never had that issue so contact Behringer directly.

Still rolling with zero issues

All I can say is that I bought this mixer in 2009 and used it weekly (at the minimum) til April 2016 with NO issues. It's not a 57 or an S9 but it's not trash IMO.

I midi-mapped sections to control Serato Live & Serato DJ looping & loading features. It only was taken out of rotation because I purchased an s9. The way I used my DDM, Dicers & MPD24 for live shows was all encompassed in an S9.

Sorry u had a bad experience ... but I def didn't share in it. Behringer is a solid brand, far from perfect but solid.
