I've been offered a Citronic CS-3 Scratch Mixer on second chance offer on ebay for £30 - Good deal?

Ha ha, I use to, But used Numark, which are great but worked my way up too vestex, I`d say if you keep your eye on vestex mixers might be better off in the long run, they last forever

Hmmm...I'll keep that in mind.
Are Technics mixers as solid as the 1200/1210's?

..if your going to get any mixer go for a allen & heath as they are top quality, the xone:92 is fantastic. If you managed to find one going for a resonable price, snap it up sharpish. if not you might need a loan!

Still reckon Vestax Is way better, run a review in google, see how you get on with that, If you come accross an Vextax R1 premium fairly cheep, let me know,

some people say that X is the best and some people prefer Y. Your best bet is to go to a local dealer and have a go on each then make up your own mind.

Ive never heard of citronic but £30 not bad for a mixer, especially if your just getting into it. If it becomes a bigger hobby then look to invest in a better mixer at a later date.

hi there...just wanted to ask you guys what styles do you mix and do you mix out at venues or bedroom dj's....like me..lol
I am into dance and breakbeat, have done D+B too..only do as hobby though..do my own cds and dish them out to friends kinda thing..
have a Citronic mixer..lol..mx2. has lasted years and very good budget mixers..£30 sounds good deal to me..Also am using Numark CDN , but guessing that you guys all mix with vinyl..tried that and so preferred cds..

I miss Drum 'n' bass, breakbeat and Ambient (Nightmares on Wax, Zero 7 etc).
Need more toooons tho!

Damn, I'm getting old - mixing w CDs...

Next they'll have no discs or some such[/quote]

lol...you mean like MP3 mixing, via a laptop..(Vinyl Scratch program)..yes vinyl is a bit dated..lol
Although to get the new tunes , they still seem to put out on vinyl first, which is so bloody annoying..

I use traktor v 3.0 on the pc to do mixes, when I play out I use a laptop (with traktor 3 installed) linked up to my external harddrive, so much easier than lumping boxes of vinyl about! I use cd's on the odd ocassion bit you can never match having 30+ gigs of music at your disposal. I would like to get ableton live 5 & a the new allen & heath xone 3D but can't afford it at the mo.(slips into dream mode ) I got a copy of Acid pro 4.0 from a lad at work which is a good tool for editing & such like, easy interface to use as well.

tell me about it! (gulp) lol...yeah you need multi-channel soundcard to use headphones etc, usually external box with inputs/outputs.On traktor go to the preferences & assign a channel for headphones & one for the mix playing out. I've been recommended echo indigo soundcard which just plugs into your cardbus just for basic mixing, if your using a recent dell pc or laptop don't buy this as they have expresscard slots & apparently very little hardware is available for these models. try www.echoaudio.com. also on google-video just type in allen & heath in the search, there's a demo of the xone 3D on there.

thanks for the tips and advice...definately will have to get my arse into gear and start using properly....now off to google video to start dribbling again..lol
