I have one of those that I use as a modular track and set prep with the DDJ-XP1 (silent cue offsets the lack of pause/play). I am loving it as a bedroom mixer set up.
You forgot that the power brick sucks balls. Meaning if you ever forget it when you pack up for a gig, its worthless. An IEC or dual wire electric cord would have been good. Otherwise it seems like a good unit
Footnote... i think djs who are new into scratching etc.. whould think this mixer has the same magvell crossfader as the djms9.. Thats not the case. The magvell pro fader on the S9 has a way much better feeling then the fader of djm250mk2 , djm450mk2 and the djm900nxs2. Being said that... the djm250mk2 is indeed his price worth.
Good review. How do the phono preamps sound with straight vinyl? I mostly play wax and was looking for a nice little mixer, but being able to play DVS would be great too-just curious about how the sound quality with a plain jane turntable is.
I have this, they are standard mate good but worth noting , if your mixing vinyl to DVS , your have to adjust your trims in db signal , another thing I don't like the pitch system in DVS on rekordbox using a technics turntable , you have to work lot more to lock it, I'm not sure if this DVS is designed for digital pitch or pioneer plx ???
Hello Onset Beats, I have the same concern about sound quality with "Phono inputs". Just like you, I play only vinyls and I'm looking for a mixer to enter the DVS world. Did you end up buying it? How it sounds? Thanks
Hi, I'm can't get my djm 250 mk2 to record through Traktor scratch pro. When I select external source... I am using traktor time coded vinyl... It plays and sounds brilliant but I can get it to see the record output signal... Can you help... Windows based operating system....
Thanks for the review, you guys always nail it. I have a question let`s say i have a djm 250mk2 and two turntables and i use the dvs system. What else should i have to control the loops, hot cues and effects??
Hi Joey and everyone at the channel! Can you use this, with a simple turntable (and the Rekordbox DVS control vinyl) without a DDJ? Just for basic, basic scratching? And/or could you use it alongside a DDJ-SX? Thanks so much! Trying to figure out the best option for me.
Is there a reason my NDX500 CDJs won't work with this mixer when connected via USB/Rekordbox? Just looking for help before returning. Very informative video - Liked & subbed
I'm not sure about this as I am looking into a DVS system I currently have a controller with record box. I am however in two minds. Thinking of the interface 2 and a normal mixer rather than a mixer with built in sound card. If ever anything goes wrong with a mixer like this it's more expensive to replace.im leaning towards the interface 2 as it sounds less likely to go wrong. Any thoughts on this ?
Does your controller support DVS Tamsin? If so that's the easy option. If not, there are pros and cons to each approach so it's hard to give a definitive "do this" answer. Find out what works for you :)
Anyone that need some over priced dj equipment that is in brand new condition, let me know, I will even do shipping. This guy just insulted the dj's that came before him that actually had to create an impossible environment for him to call simple. WOW what a ride with this Pioneer journey. I have some NXS among other things to sell from this company it will help to replace the money that I am spending on Allen & Heath amoung bringing some real turntables back; Technics and better CDJ's
Hey Digital DJ Tips, does the 250mk2 have post fader fx when using Rekordbox DJ? Say I have an SP1 and use Rekordbox echo, can I slam the fader down and hear the tail?
To have iPad sound on channel 1 or 2 but not through RCA port . The idea is to use it as mixer for Djay iOS app for example and use the mixer as a sound card for my ipad. Other brands like Numark are compatibel iOs / Mac / windows
I remember that on my 250. I can't say for sure but I would bet that this no longer happens. I couldn't find any reports of it on the internet - Christian
Agreed seriously weak that they wouldn't have a booth out. The workaround is to take the other Master output and run it through a mini mixer where you can then route to a booth monitor and be able to adjust volume. Here is a good passive line volume controler www.amazon.com/JBL-NPATCH-BLK-Compact-Controller/dp/B01I3B0OH6
It's a pity! I think it missed this to be perfect or to have three channels... Anyway, thank you so much for your answer and congratulations for your RU-vid channel!!!
