thanks for getting back,my friend has the djm 450,the sound quality is alot better than the original 900 nexus, i think i will go for this mixer,to use at home ,great price for what you get,cheers gary.
I like your reviews and the one you did on the 250mk2 and now the 450...I bought the 250mk2 because I wasn't sure its worth to spend double the price on just some extra effects...and also because I wasn't sure I would enjoy the Maglev fader...at least if I want to sell the 250mk2 I won't loose too much money while the 450 I can easily get a secondhand Z2 or Rane 56...
I think Rekordbox users like myself would agree that this DJM-450 is nice, but there really needs to be a model in between it and the DJM-S9 (or R9 if they ever create one) -I need something with trigger pads to keep my workflow similar as when I'm using my DDJ-RX controller! If there was a mixer that was built like the DJM-450, had trigger pads, and removed the advanced functions the S9 has-I think it would be the perfect mixer for a lot of DJs, and wouldn't break your bank like the S9! Come'on Pioneer...give the people what they want!
Both the DDJ-Sp1 and the newer DDJ-XP2 will give you the pads you need for booth RB-DJ and Serato. They're not very expensive and you'd have a solution that cost almost half of the price of the S9.
Would have been great if it had a dedicated record output and most importantly a booth output. I get that pioneer is marketing it toward home use, but that made it a no go for me. if only pioneer would make maybe a djm 550 or something with those additions, plus a dedicated send/return and pro magvel from the S9 then it would fly off the shelves.
A bit late, but for people still reading... There's no rca rec out, but you can use the build in sound card to connect the mixer to a computer to record the out going digital signal in recording software on your computer. For booth out you can use the rca master out with a separate add on volume knob. There's solutions made for this purpose costing around $30, ready to stick on the back of the mixer giving you a booth out knob to control the volume with. ...or if you're handy, buy the parts and make one yourself.
I’ve been looking at mixer along with the A&H xone 43c. Just looking to move into the DVS space to add another dimension to real vinyl. I feel the dvs causes more issues as not all work well with windows 10 and/iPad Pro. Vinyl only, I’d go for the djm as it has effects built in, whereas I’d need a separate effects unit to go with the 43c, but still it’s a nice mixer. I’ll keep reading reviews and watching more videos to arrive at my decision of buying the djm 450. Anything else I should be aware of? Thanks
Is it possible to use at the same time the Master 1 XLR output to connect to the amplifier and the Master 2 RCA output to record the mixes? Thanks in advance
It depends on what feel you'd want to go for. If you want effects, go with the DJM-450. If you want something more basic but very solid / rugged and no USB connection, get the A&H 43.
I’m not receiving any signal on my Technics 1200 when I try to calibrate on the laptop, any help :/ vinyl works fine on the djm but not when I try to use dvs
No booth output ! Thats a bit rough. Do you know if the pads on the reloop 8000's would be compatible with the mixer and rekordbox ? Thanks in Advance :-)
@@digitaldjtips yes one would like to think. If you can its going to make my life so much easier switching to Rekordbox.. I don't want to leave Traktor, but Im over having to create another set on rekordbox to play out. Takes up to much time when I could be instantly making cues.
I can't see why not. As you can see at 2:00 there's an RCA out under the name 'Master 2' and through here you would connect an RCA cable from here to the Input on an RMX and then connect an RCA to the Output on the RMX and the input on your speakers
Yes, definitely! It's great for home use, and will certainly hold its own in a bar / pub setting. Just remember that it doesn't have a booth output if you plan on gigging with it :)
It doesn't have the same 96kHz sampling rate as the DJM-900NXS2 (the DJM-450 is at 48kHz), but I'd say you won't hear the difference when you use it at home. You might if you were playing at a club with a top-shelf sound system (Ministry Of Sound's The Box comes to mind). I'd say the difference is potentially negligible in a home use scenario :)
Booth output is not very important, for me the only thing I didnt like was that it uses an external charger instead of a direct power cord otherwise I really love this mixer
