I was looking at the Stanton SMX-501 and it's got some nice features for a 3 channel/battle mixer combo. Not too many of the more expensive mixers offer the kind of crossfader curves or if they do they don't have the 3rd channel. I'm thinking about getting one. Anyone using one? or what are you using? I'm not trying to get a Xone mixer because I'm not to impressed with their crossfade features and then the prices are up there...The Vestax O7 doesn't have effect return or send so that one is out.....Pioneer DJM's aren't good scratch mixers really....I don't think the Rane Empath has crossfade reverse and I'd like to have that.....Anyway that is some of my input.......let me know what's up on any opinions.......
