In part 2 of our budget mixer roundup, Chris Brackley explores the pros/cons of the DJ-Tech DIF-1S and Behringer NOX404. Read the whole story, including reviews of Pioneer's DJM-250 and Allen & Heath's Xone:23 here: www.djtechtools...

Great review... but it's important to note that the nox 404 is a direct copy of the rane 56, so the strange design choices (i.e. panning faders/modes) came from rane, not behringer. Just thought I'd add that in... the great thing about it is that you can move up to a rane 56 from it and feel right at home on the same layout.
Best property of the DJ-Tech mixer is that you can hook up traktor with serato at the same time, if you have the multicore cable for traktor soundcards. For the price of a used vestax pmc05 this is the far best budget mixer in my opinion.
I was thinking with the behringer having ability to pan with the volume you might be able to scratch and instead of using the volume to make the echo ...you could have the scratch panning from left to right and be munipulating the crossfader as well ..there is def something you can do with each of the extra features while cutting creating new sounds, effects , and new cuts .....just got to think out side of the box...
I have 2 questions, despite already mixing myself I never figured out the difference between wet/dry and what is the main difference with line/phono inputs?
That dvs input feature of the dj tech mixer seems intruiging to me, as I dont like having to plug my laptop in to slap on a record as a serato user. However i am not into scratching but rather beatmatching and eq mixing for techno. Are there mixers with this feature more suited for this?
I have a pioneer ddj sx although wanted a battle scratch mixer for my turntable set up .. Was torn between the DJ tech dif and the nox 303 ... $259 au for the DJ tech dif then I picked up a nox 303 2nd hand for $160 au on fleebay ... I hope it lasts longer then the behringer djx700 I had many moons ago .. That thing clapped up quicker then whore on crack .
The Behringer mixer looks good, but does it work with other software? I've bought a behringer controller before, and it only worked with deckadance 2 LE. And Deckadance isn't cutting it for me at all.
Please help me. I am not receiving any audio after routing my turntable into the DIF-1S mixer and mixer into the speakers. Its input and output I don't understand what I could be doing wrong
I have a remix 500 and is great but which of this mixers would work with this unit? Im talking about mixer that have loop fx to connect the remix 500? Thanks in advance
Off all the 4 mixers in this round up, the one that works best with the RMX-500 is the Behringer. On all the other mixers, you'd need to go from the master output into the RMX, so still usable, but not as flexible.
Forget Behringer. I had the DJX 700. The fx button got stuck down in the body of the mixer & would only work sometimes. Channel 2 stopped working & the sound was terrible. Also it just felt cheap & nasty. Stay away from them, they’re cheap for a reason!
sound bleed across channels, cheapest faders ever, fake eq kills, "effects" that suck so much i'd never use them. between this and a blown woofer in one of my monitors which i've always babied, Behringer can suck a fuck. I feel sorry for all these kids out there buying up their synth clones thinking they're the best thing ever. give it a couple years till the crap starts breaking down and then see how much shit they can talk about Roland/Korg etc.
It splits Traktor's audio into individual outputs, so you can have side A go to channel 1 and side B go to channel 2 and cue output to the headphones, etc. Basically it's an external version of what is inside a controller so you can still use what the venue has alongside your laptop without having to carry around your controller, or worry about where to put it when you get there. Hope this helps you out, cheers.
behringer sucks. i thought i was doing good getting one of their mixers and was so disappointed that here i am a couple years later shelling out the $ for an Allen&Heath. Do yourself a favor and skip the first part, thank me later.
Berringer is always copied other stuff I member wen I was a noob in 03 I bought the fake nexus berringer lmao what a piece of junk.I never buy that brand
