I've been using a 6 channel mixer and I must concur with Nick; using a mixer enhances your sound and opens up new doors! I've only been DJing for only 3 years and I am surprised that DJs who have been in the game for years still do not use external mixers! I've had other Dj's approach me at events inquiring about my sound & observing my hookup! Thanks for the affirmation Nick!

Absolutely! An external mixer is a game changer. I use a Mackie Mix8. Essentially the mixer is a central hub that also acts as a safety net. We've all experienced gear taking a dump in the middle of a set. Laptop or controller crash? No problem. Quickly switch over to your iPad avoiding that embarassing dead air. My mixer has saved my butt a few times. I can't imagine DJing an event without one.

You covered ALOT of the benefits of using an external mixer. I would also add to those: - The ability to have a back-up rig (iPod, Computer, iPad, etc) already connected to your Sound System in the very unlikely event of a Main Rig malfunction. This has saved my butt a few times. At a minimum, it gives you a chance to Reboot or do quick troubleshooting without missing a beat or any dead-air. - Like your remote speaker example, I will often run a sub via an AUX. I had a sound man recommend that I keep the subs low during dinner and toasts to avoid that "rumble" when you dont really need it. As the event requires, I can raise the level at my discretion. This is also helpful with venues with a Sound Ordinance. Those low frequencies can cause issues. Great Content, keep 'em coming!!

I absolutely agree with Nick on using a external mixer; I use a Yamaha MG10XU 10 channel mixer in my Dj setup as the hub for my controller, turntable, mics, etc. The versatility, headroom and sound quality are greatly enhanced. And I couldn't image not using a external mixer in my live setup.
@lucaswhite35784 жыл бұрын
Another pro tip...if you split your 1/4” inputs into their own channel (i.e., Left output from your mixer into Channel 1 and Right output into Channel 2) then you pan the left channel all the way left and the right channel all the way right your tracks will get a great stereo image and make the sound super wide!

True. The older Mackie 1402VLZ mixers do this well - and actually bump up each channel by 2 or 3db extra for more headroom when you use this trick. Not sure about their newer mixers.

Having an external mixer gives plenty of options and fuller sound without clipping or a distorted signal.

I'm an audio engineer. I do medium to large corporate events and network television. Listen to the man - use an external mixer, especially for your mics. Most people are using a controller, not a mixer, anyway, and that's killing your mic sound. That's why you get all that distortion and feedback from your handheld mic. If I DJ, my DJ mixer outputs, all mics and an iphone for background/breaktime music are all fed into a Behringer X32, and that's what feeds the house speakers. Which allows me to time sync all speakers based on placement, EQ everything, do all that fine tune tweaking for each channel, not to mention split out the subs so they're only receiving the bass frequencies and keep the heavy bass out of the top speakers. :)

In my rig I have the DJ controller USBed to the laptop with a good quality ( but old ) external sound card. The DJ headphones are the only other thing hooked up to the controller. ( no other audio output there needed ) The sound card goes to an external mixer ( stereo ), 2 other stereo inputs are available and ready to go, someone else brings in their rig I can plug right in, want to use a ipod/cd player/ whatever as background during the meal no problem. At the moment have a "wired" mic and a "wireless" mic connected with a couple of spare channels left. The main output goes to either the speaker management ( eg subs split from the mid/highs etc ) or straight through to the speaker inputs. You can pull in/out the music, pull in/out the mics. You can run the DJ system "internally" while the dinner music is playing without anyone getting blasted with the "test pattern" you are using to set levels. brilliant. There are other outputs possible for other reasons as you said ( Aux mono, headphone level stereo, RCA, which I have not played with but ok, stereo ) but not really letting them know Now, if I could just work out how to pick the music to run the floor....🤔

The high pass filter as you mentioned is great. Many mixers not also have built in compression which when used properly, can really smooth vocal peaks that can get out of hand for speakers who aren't experienced using mics. 4:48 LOL that was great.

Absolutely sounds incredible, especially with the abundance of added professional level equalization control it provides. Plus, I get all the channels to add as much extra items as I may need. I also use a Reloop RMX-90 mixer for even more volume and equalizer control. With that, I also get to hook up more items like CDJs, turntables, cd recorder. I like all the extra options I can get. Is it overkill? Absolutely, except for the best sound I get from my tops & subs, and the ability to add as many mics as I may need, beyond the 4 cordless mics I normally have hooked up.

1. yes an external mixer have more control for the mic (lowcut, peqs etc) and thats good 2. high end controllers dont have "bad preamps" ..they dont cheap out on that.. 3. it doesnt give you more headroom, +4db is +4db signal.. from the mixer or from the controller ..its XLR +4db signal ..same headroom, same stuff. what I see is a problem most of club DJs do in weddings/gigs: they push their gains like DJs, with sliders opens.. and the master is the volume they need for the room .. while they use their external mixer with high master, low gain and low volumes. thats the problem, they should use their controller LIKE external mixer.. high master, low gains, huge headroom for the mic, no feedback, no distortion, no redlining or saturation in the master .. its realy the way you use it and most of DJs I see they use their controller like a DJ mixer and thats why everything is shit and you need something external to show them how they are supposed to work .. because both are the same. I'm using an SZ, Rane72, 900NX2 on the road and they sound amayzing.. sometimes I use a Allen&Heat CQ12 or Midas mixer but I dont need them most of the time. direct into the SZ.. and I'm even using my -10db outs to the speakers, with this theory I should be pushing my mixer too hard.. give you headroom with the speaker gain, master out.. lower every individual gain to very low, dont use the faders all the way up ..problem solved. use it like you use the external mixer. and when you launch the dancefloor, fader up and raise the channel gains.. gains are the main heart of a mixer. I know people dont use them sincs the "auto gain" in serato ..but I still use my gains in every and single mix..
