Yes, you can be a DJ with just a laptop, but you will need to have some software and hardware to get started. You will need a DJ controller, which is a physical interface that allows you to control the software, and you will need DJ software, which will let you mix and scratch your music.
A controller is all you need to get started DJing. You can use it to control your music and mix your tracks. You can also use it to control your lights and create special effects.
A mixer is a great tool for DJs as it allows them to control the level of each track, add effects and create smooth transitions between tracks. However, it is not essential to have a mixer and some DJs prefer to use a controller or even just a laptop. Ultimately, it is up to the DJ to decide what works best for them.
No, you don't need four channels to DJ. In fact, two channels are all you really need to get started. You can always add more channels later on if you feel like you need them, but for most people, two channels are plenty. Plus, having four channels can actually be more of a hindrance than a help, since it can be easy to get overwhelmed by all the options. So if you're just starting out, stick with two channels and you'll be fine.

I've had this mixer for about two months, and I'm actually more pleased with it than I was. Why five stars if it is small, I would probably classify it as a two channel mixer (even though it actually has six channels), lacks a mid-range EQ, has a knob for channel level instead of a slider, and lacks USB output?Some of the "less favourable" reviewers may have had inflated expectations of a mixer with a very small form factor that costs less than $100, in my opinion. It fulfills a need, and that depends on what it already has. According to my subjective assessment, the signal to noise ratio is excellent. Additionally, it includes two balanced, stereo dual XLR outputs. Despite the fact that I don't actually use them, the effects are wonderfully done (especially in pre-production). There is no software equivalent to a hardware-based knob for "midrange EQ," but if you know how to adjust the gain, master volume, and high/low EQs, you can actually "tweak the mids" to some extent. For a skilled sound engineer, this shouldn't be a deal-breaker. As soon as you look around the unit, you can tell that high-quality materials were used in its construction.All things considered, it is a two channel podcasting mixer in my perspective. For my small studio interviews, I'm using a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and two Shure SM7B microphones connected to this mixer. I can state with confidence that I would defy any sound engineer to create a system that sounds better for the money. Spend ten times as much to get a marginal quality improvement.Additionally, I've tried this setup with Adobe Audition/Premiere, Audacity, and Garage Band (although with Garage Band, I was using a Shure SM-57 as a guitar mic), and each time, it has surpassed my expectations.

Owned this mixer for about two months, and it's actually better than expected. It is small, I would probably consider it a two channel mixer (though technically it has six channels), does not have a mid-range EQ, the channel volumes are a knob, instead of a slider and it also doesn't have USB output; so why 5 stars?I think some of the "less positive" reviewers maybe had unrealistic expectations of a super small form-factor, sub-$120 mixer. It fits a need and; that comes down to what is does have. The signal to noise ratio is fantastic as far as I can subjectively tell. It also has dual (stereo), balanced XLR outputs. Effects are well done, although admittedly, I don't really use them (especially in pre-production) (especially in pre-production). As far as "no midrange EQ", there is no substitute for a hardware based knob but, if you know how to work the high/low EQs alongside the gain and master volume, you can in-fact, somewhat "tweak the mids" and this shouldn't be a deal breaker for an experienced sound person. You can tell the minute you explore the unit, that it is well made and uses high quality components.All things said, in my opinion, it is a two channel, podcasting mixer. I have two Shure SM7B microphones and a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 connected to this mixer for small studio interviews. I am confident saying that I would challenge any sound professional to come up with a better sounding setup for the money. You can spend 10x as much for an insignificant bump up in quality.As a side note, I've used this setup with Adobe Audition/Premiere, Audacity and Garage Band (although with Garage Band, I was using a Shure SM-57 as a guitar mic) and again, it exceeded my expectations.

When I initially saw this product at TwitchCon, I was quite doubtful, but as I passed by the booths, I noticed that there were many recognized faces there. I made the poor decision not to pre-order for their initial shipment, but as soon as the second shipment became available for pre-order, I seized the opportunity. Let me just say that it was well worth the wait. I get the impression that I have something that is about to become extremely popular due to its functionality, adaptability, and overall excellent attributes. It satisfies all of my needs and then some. captures my gaming and streaming computers, and I can isolate particular channels to have complete control over changing things as I see fit. The sound effects are on a totally new level. All of my equipment is combined into this mixer. There are no longer endless seas of cables, I don't require a compressor or dB booster, and I have an upgraded mixer. merely simplicity fantastic stuff Would strongly advise. When I contacted the team because I was stuck on a problem, John (a truly outstanding person) went into great depth and worked through the problem with me until it was completely obvious. The fact that I received assistance so quickly when I needed it is good because these folks are competent. I concur!

Although the old mixer served me well for 13 years, it was time to replace it. I bought this to replace a 13-year-old Radio Shack mixer that I'd been using in my home studio, and I can tell this is definitely a BIG STEP UP. I appreciate the eq controls' new functionality because my prior board lacked even them, let alone a balance knob. Even though other reviewers awarded this mixer five stars, it has more fantastic functions than I ever anticipated. If you want a decent cost-effective mixer for whatever reason you want, this will work. I'm buying one since it's a wonderful value for the money and a good economy size because it doesn't take up a lot of space.

I had a Kenwood DNX9960 that I used in my 2006 GMC Envoy from 2010 - 2016. Then I got a Pioneer 8100NEX. I had the DNX9960 sitting on my shelf for about a year. I loved some of the things on the DNX9960 that the 8100NEX just didn't have, especially the Garmin navigation. One day this past summer when I was logging tons of miles in my truck for work, the thought popped in my head to put both head units in at the same time. I could use the DNX9960 for navigation and reverse camera. I could use the 8100NEX for everything else (cd, usb, radio, satellite, bluetooth calls, etc). (cd, usb, radio, satellite, bluetooth calls, etc.).I did some research and learned that using simple Y adapters wouldn't be a sustainable solution to this idea. I ended up finding these and ordering two of them. I put them in the back of my truck in a cabinet I made for my amps, capacitor, tv tuner, time delay relay, reverse sensor module,

I only gave it five stars because of the cost and value. It functions, but there are numerous spelling and labeling mistakes, and the audio occasionally crackles and SPEAKS WHEN BUTTONS ARE PUSHED (which broadcasts through to all audio outputs) The battery is essentially useless, however when switched on with a micro USB cable, it performs as advertised. What more could you ask for with a shipping cost of under $17?Several audio cables, a proprietary micro USB to 1/8 audio cable, an aux wire, and a power cable are included. All of these functioned without a hitch.Overall, this gadget is perfect for my small FM Transmitter radio station as a small mixer board with some odd sound and audio FX. This device, a laptop, and a 25 watt FM radio transmitter will make me a legitimate on-air radio personality. It has numerous line level, condenser, and powered mic inputs and again, it costs only $17?!! I also notice other sellers selling the same same unit for $70 with hundreds of positive ratings. strange, but hey, whatever.

I don't often write reviews, but I feel forced to do so in this occasion because the manufacturer provided me with exceptional service, which is becoming increasingly uncommon. Behringer deserves to be commended in this instance.About a year ago, I purchased a Behringer Xenyx X1222USB. For my application, utilizing it as the main board for live performances with a small band, it has been working fantastically (vocals, a couple of mics on amps for string instruments, keyboards in direct, a wind controller and an iPad via an Alesis IOdock for backing tracks).I've been using an external FX box the entire time, not using the built-in FX. When I eventually got around to checking them out, auditioning every preset, and fiddling with the different options, all of a sudden (after about 15-20 minutes of this), I heard this incredibly loud, fast repeated clicking sound that completely obscured everything else. Shutting down the device was the only way to halt it. As long as all of the FX parameters were set to the lowest possible values after restarting, the mixer operated without any issues. Within 15 to 20 minutes of turning on the FX again, the same thing will occur once more. I repeatedly tested it and verified that all of the controls were set to their nominal values (i.e., I was sure I was not overloading the FX unit). Fortunately, it happened when I was in my home studio. Since I had gigs scheduled for the next two days, I persuaded myself that this could only occur when the FX processor was active. Sure enough, I had no issues at the jobs during the following two days, and everything went smoothly (with the FX off).The next day, I conducted some research online before calling Behringer and discovered that many others had similar issues with FX units on Behringer mixers dating back a few years (although I didn't find anything particularly for this model). Given the number of complaints, some people blamed the issue on cheap capacitors made in China. I can't confirm this, but I was disappointed that Behringer hadn't fixed the problem in newer models, although I have noticed that some models now use a different version of the FX processor; I'm not sure if this fixes the problem or not.Anyhow, I gave Behringer a call, and much to my surprise, I was able to speak with someone right away. The technician swiftly determined that it did indeed sound like a malfunctioning FX unit after asking a few crucial questions and demonstrating her extensive knowledge. While I was still on the phone, she sent the RMA an email and informed me that the normal turnaround time is 10 working days. On Tuesday, I submitted it. As per UPS tracking, they received it on Thursday. It arrived at my door on Thursday of the following week! I was completely astounded. Everything appears to be running smoothly.The only drawback is that shipping to send the box to them costs money. If they find that the problem is covered by the warranty, they'll fix it and send it back to you at no cost. So make sure to keep your box and packing supplies on hand in case you need to send something in.The guarantee is one year, but if you register it within 90 days, it is extended to three years. The Behringer representative assured me that it was protected for three years even though I hadn't registered it. Just in case, you might wish to register your device.

Since day one, this product has performed excellently. The fx features are amazing. The BT option also performs flawlessly. I use it to create my own podcast, which I record directly to a pendrive with all the music and effects on. simply submit the audio to a podcast feed or an audio editor to edit or add it. Using the USB connector, I can also record directly to my computer. Unfortunately, USB BT and Rec are shared with the channel. However, considering the price, a steel mixer performs better than other, more expensive mixers. It has a send and return as well. earbuds and control room are not in. main out amd. also 1/4" or xlr input. to work things out if you're on a tight budget.

Finally, a powerful mixer that accepts 3.5mm stereo inputs! Very well done. I'm using it to combine my Mac's output with an Amazon Echo and send it to speakers for various media types. Its ability to be powered by a USB hub and the fact that each channel has gain and left/right balancing are features I appreciate. It doesn't feel or appear to be poorly manufactured, and it appears to have a sturdy structure.The only thing I noticed is that when I connect my iPhone to the same USB hub, there is a lot of RF noise (clicking, buzzing, and humming), but that is to be anticipated given it is such a powerful RF device. So, unless I need to transmit images or something like, I leave the iPhone unplugged.
Yes, a DJ mixer can absolutely affect sound quality. If you have a high-quality mixer, you'll be able to get much better sound out of your system. Conversely, if you have a cheap or poorly made mixer, it can introduce all sorts of problems into your audio signal. everything from unwanted noise and distortion to phase issues and more. So, if you're serious about getting great sound out of your system, make sure you invest in a good quality DJ mixer.
Most DJ mixers have two channels, but some have four. The more channels you have, the more flexibility you have in terms of what you can do with your mixer. If you only have two channels, you can still mix two songs together, but you won't be able to add any other elements, such as sound effects or samples. If you have four channels, you can mix four songs together, or you can use two channels for mixing and two channels for other elements.
A full DJ setup usually consists of a mixer, two turntables, and a microphone. The cost of a full DJ setup can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. The cost of a full DJ setup will depend on the quality of the equipment and the brand.
A good DJ mixer can range from around $100 to $1000. The price depends on the features and quality. Some DJ mixers have more channels, effects, and better sound quality than others. If you are just starting out, you may want to look for a less expensive model. As you become more experienced, you can upgrade to a more expensive mixer.
DJ mixing is a process of combining two or more recorded tracks, usually by a DJ, into a continuous flow of music. The tracks are mixed together at a set tempo by a DJ mixer. This process is usually done by DJs to create a continuous flow of music during a live set or radio show. It is generally considered to be easy to DJ mixing, as long as the DJ has a good understanding of music theory and is familiar with the equipment they are using. However, it is important to note that there is a learning curve associated with DJ mixing, and it is recommended
