what scratch mixer do you think is
the best ?
i have got a stanton sk2f ltd edition mixer
and the optical crossfader is rude (ultra smooth)
but does it live up to the standards of the mighty
vestax pro 6 or the technics dmc mixer,
your opinions please.

I heard that DMC one's crossfader dosen't last that long , and that the 05 pro's faders have problems with getting dust in 'em.
Stanton scratch mixers are ment to be good at the moment , yours for example , opitcal flicker switchs no noise at all !

cross fader about every 3 months , and they dont come cheep
either.

I guess for general mixing the crossfader would last alot longer. B)

i have two of the technics dmc ones and they are pretty good, although the fader is audio and not VCA.. i think my next mixer will be one from the vextax digital range, although it won't be for a while... i wanna get a cdj1000 first..
