The DJM400 is the only pioneer mixer i like. I have the K-limited version and i really enjoed and used it a lot a few years ago! Now i'm into other stuff but i still use it in some smaller events. I love what you did, the silver faceplate really looks dope! And it looks like a pretty hard job to do, congrats! Glad to see some people still use old CDJs too, that stuff was built to last!

[@nateslighting]

I appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed watching the process. I had a lot of ups and downs with this ~4 month project, but I was very happy with how it turned out.

Hello, Nathan. Great job! Thank you for this video and work you put in creating it. I have myself a dJm 400 which I would love to repaint faceplate. I was thinking of a way to do it and stumble up on your video. Really like your approach. Can you, by any chance, give me this sheet or a file of markings on a panel for a transfer on a vinyl? I would much appreciate it!

[@robbiecollier8684]

My mixer seems to be stuck on a delay or echo mode cant get the flanger or anything else to work any idea what it could be?

[@SrPaser]

great job, could you share the file to print the vinyl?

[@Obreratt]

Hey! Really nice video! I have a question, my DJM-400 stopped working and I think maybe an internal fuse burned. Since you had open it, did you see if there was one? Thank you very much!

[@nateslighting]

I just looked through my video again, I can confirm there is a fuse inside.

would you be willing to share the faceplate template you made :)?
