Behringer make the worst products of any kind, ever (no offence to the behringer heads)
my first mixer was a Behringer, was great to learn on but it was really poorly built. by the end 3/4 of the channels had just died

Not so much bad cdjs but a djm800 that was completely fucked - even with the channel fader all the way down the sound still came out the front, so had to beat match out loud basically. This was at a very well-known club too. I told the sound tech guy about it and he basically told me to fuck off..

tbf that rack thing was hooked up to a proper mixer so that wasn't so bad

the jog wheels didn't work at all though, they'd just skip the tune forwards or backwards by a second or some shit :lol:

you get used to just using the cue and pitch faders to mix

They were still rocking a pair very similar to these last year at leeds fest, one deck broke and one of the guys lent me an iphone to mix with, started a circle pit to rudimental which i thought was an achievement

Still got mine! However you have put to rest my theory that once I'd made the jump to a respectable pair of turntables it'd be a piece of piss to mix :(

pair of technics where the pitch was adjusted to what must have been +20 at the fastest and +8 at the slowest

no paint on them either due to the amount of cheap vodka that had been lobbed over em
