  • Looking to get this and the mashine mikro since this is traktor ready I should have no problem with the 2 right? They would work flawless together.

  • @mondough79 Yup, it works with Traktor 2 just fine...

  • Hey guys, so do you definitely reccomend this mixer? Is this a well made mixer (materials, knobs, faders) or is it cheapy? Thank you all

  • @MrZibiba Hey Mr Zibiba, Its a great mixer for the price, but no, if you want something that is bullet proof and strong, simply go and pay 4 times the amount for another brand... Or you could simply look after this one and it will do you fine. :) But yeah, its a cheap mixer with LOTS of awesome features.

  • @andrecato I have my DDM4000 set up to play with vinyl control on traktor, and I can get sound out of one speaker, but not the other. Is this an issue with Traktor, or the mixer? I am using identical XLR cables. First time i have hooked it all the way up. (I have the turntables hooked up the Audio 6, and then the Audio 6 to the line 1 and 3 of the DDM4000. Then i have the two XLR cables going to different Eurolive 215XL speakers.)

  • @SeismicReptile The mixer will do you fine for that, what you will need though if you want to really be able to scratch well is the upgraded X1 cross-fader for this mixer which will be much better for scratching... Very economical way to do what you want with your CDJs...

  • GREAT MIXER. I got only 1 problem, the main board was scrued up so i had to pay 300 U$S to fix it...

    The only thing that Behringer have to fix is the Hedphones port... It must be at the bottom!!!

  • @SpeakaPorn When in MIDI mode, you will ONLY control MIDI and vice versa, when in Audio, you will send no MIDI messages, so yeah, only one or the other will activate, so all good... Kill Switches will do whatever you assign via MIDI when in MIDI Mode, not act as Kill Switches, unless of course thats what you want!

  • @andrecato do i need to hook this mixer up to a laptop in order to use it?

  • @HardElements Nope, its a normal audio mixer also.

  • hey andre, really interested in buyin this mixer, i would be running serato and with 2 stanton st-150 turntables, would this mixer work for me?

  • @djchazmrw yes, it will work. I use this mixer with Serato SL2 and 2 Technic turntables and it works just fine.

  • "to set up... eeehm..." :)

  • great review. i must add, all music aside, you sound like willow.

  • can you just use the ddm 4000 with traktor with no tables?

  • @420helladank Sure you can. Its a MIDI controller, so you can map all of the functions in Traktor LE, Traktor Pro or Traktor Pro 2. What you need tables for would be to play either the DVS version (Traktor Scratch Pro) or to play your old records. Cheers, Oh, I am now on Twitter! Please follow - @andrecato :)

  • @andrecato thanks a lot man thanks for replying i love your reviews there very helpful im probably getting this within a couple weeks also wondering do you need anything extra to run it with traktor? or is it just like a midi to usb cord?

  • @420helladank You got it in one! You need a MIDI to USB adapter and that's it.

  • @andrecato does this show bpm for chanel 1 2 3 or 4

  • @andrecato one more thing, what is the difference between line and phono which do you use to connect the cdj's to it and which go to the speakers/monitors/subs

  • @420helladank Phono is for old school Turntables, which you won't use anymore, Line is for any digital instrument such as a CDJ, Drum Machine or anything with a LIne level (pretty much anything other than a turntable).... The Mixer inputs are where you plug in your instruments, and the outputs are where you plug in speakers and Sub! Woohoo! Party Time!

    Follow me on Twitter! @andrecato

  • @andrecato so this finally arrived and the screen is distorted should i return it? please respond fast

  • @420helladank If the unit doesn't work or is broken, of course you should return it!

  • I'm thinking about getting this mixer but i've seen most the videos about it from years ago. If I was looking for a mixer no more than 350$ is this still the best mixer for that or would you recommend something different?

  • Ok, i want to start DJing but i dont know what to get, and how to really set it up? please suggest something decently cheap that i can decide on

    :)

  • @XxXDevilRejectsXxX Mate, this is a complete can of worms.. There is sooooo much gear out there. So many options. What is decent in your eyes, what is Cheap, do you want to play CDs, Vinyl or Digitally?, If you have no answers to these questions, i suggest you check out gear from Numark, Gemini, Behringer. You need 2 decks and something to mix your tracks together, so have a look and ask some specific questions as its really too hard to guess who u are and what you want/need! andre@12am.com.au

  • @andrecato thank you, what do you think of the Native Instruments Traktor control s4? ive heard some super good stuff about it.

  • @XxXDevilRejectsXxX I love NI, love the S4, love the X1, S2 and Maschine! If you want to keep up with what I am talking about with gear, follow me on Twitter! Username - @andrecato

  • @XxXDevilRejectsXxX u dont necessarily need turntable but a decent mixer and a sampler. You can scratch with a sampler, look up the Roland SP-555 or SP 404. u would need a budget of about $1000 for hardware and software

  • I have this connected to my 2 Numark DNHS5500 and I cannot get the PFL feature to work with Traktor or Virtual DJ. I searched everywhere and cannot find anything to fix this. Please help, I hate blind mixing and the only way i can hear the Cue is by moving the cross fader to the middle but that defeats the purpose because it plays it in the mix. Thanks

  • @FuMMoD Hey mate, just got a response from Behringer support on this one! It depends on how you are using the DDM4000. I assume if you are using it with Virtual DJ / Traktor then you may be using the DDM4000 in MIDI mode. If that’s the case then the PFL buttons also become MIDI switches, so they will have to be assigned to a corresponding CUE function in the software – in MIDI mode they won’t operate like a standard PFL button as they are now simply transmitting a MIDI note on value.

  • @andrecato

    I have the DDM4000 connected in MIDI mode and everything mapped out but nothing. I read up that if the crossfader is all the way to one side then there will be no sound output for the pfl to even cue with. I'm trying to figure out how to keep a constant signal without it coming out via the master because the only way right now its to have the crossfader like pretty much in the middle to even be able to use the PFL feature which is useless.

  • Does this works by it slef or needs extra gear to play some trance music ? (more interested in Dark and FullOn) .. If it needs that extra gear, what would be a good one and not too expensive ??

    Plus ... How long does it takes to play some well mastered trance in this ?

    Thanks and keep blazin'

  • what i need to do for conect the DDM4000 to a turntables?

  • @twistgoth You would need turntables and a DDM40000 :) Leads should be connected to your TT or come with it at least! The DDM4000 has both line and phono input, so you can plug in a turntable, or any type of audio via the RCA connection....

  • @andrecato Do you know if the crossfader of the DDM4000 is soldered to the insides of the unit? Like it was with the DJX 700

  • @lcfc201094 Do you mean, is the Cross Fader attached permanently? No, you can replace the cross fader in the DDM4000, there is a new Infinium X1 fader available for it.

  • @andrecato How do I connect it too my PC?

  • does it work with ableton?

  • Can I use this with 2 Numark NDX400 turntables?

  • @JohnCenaRulz23 sure, you can use it with any Line or Phono level input, so anything with an RCA stereo/mono audio signal

  • @andrecato Thank you! I appreciate it!

  • packed with features and customization options, looks like a brilliant mixer especially for 350 quid!

  • Hey, can you connect your ddm 4000 to your PC? And how?

  • @wetmau5 with a RCA to a 3.5mm jack

  • @wetmau5 There are a few different ways... As Mike has already replied, if you have an internal soundcard in your computer , you can connect audio in, via the 3.5 or whatever type of input you have for sound.. But the WAY more common way to connect it would be via a USB lead! Then your DDM4000 is just one big soundcard for your computer....

  • @andrecato And how do I get a USB cable?

  • @wetmau5 ... Its a standard (USB A to USB B) USB cable, so wherever USB cables are sold in your homeland of Norway!

  • Get out of my way

  • Does it has inputs for fader-start? if so, what cables will I need?

    I'm getting this mixer as soon as possible.

  • Very Good review mate. I wish more were this good. I am looking for a new mixer and you have just made me make a choice.....Behringer DDM4000

  • who the fuck needs two mic inputs!

  • @andercato the ddm 4000 at has 2 outputs for 2 speakers and one for a sub I need a litle help how to setup 2 subs in one out put thanks..

  • 5:55 hahaha. Nice use of the sampler. Hey does anyone have an opinion for or against Ultramizer on this mixer? I usually use it because I like the sound, but some would say it's slightly distorting. Opinions?

  • roll effect?

  • so theoretically speaking, i could run my apc40 through this thing and run ableton?!?!

  • I can get the Denon DN-X300 DJ Mixer and the Behringer DDM4000 Digital Pro DJ Mixer for the same price. The Denon DN-X1600 is a lot more expensive and I honestly don't have the money.

    Which would you recommend? The DN-X300 or the DDM4000?

    Thanks!

  • Meexah. Love it.

  • Nice ! But I don't get how you can setup this mixer with a computer with traktor? Please explain or link some one !!! :)

  • excelente mixer donde esta el agujero de los headphones no me gusta esta en eo medio del mixer debe ir abajo esa es su unika falla

  • GREAT REVIEW MAN!! I tell ya my old school Gemini Executioner finally took a shit on me, Murphys law.. I'm practicing for the WMC spin off which is this Tuesday ..anyways I have been using a roland mc 307.. old school I know , but used it for my MIDI and sampler banks using M-Audios Torq-DJ. I recently invested in a pair of CDJ 1000s so now I have been looking for a 4 channel mixer... of course the Pioneer DJM is the dream but this looks like the bang for the buck.. amazon has it for 350!!!

  • Please help !!

    I am trying to create a setup with the Behringer ddm4000 with virtual dj/ traktor pro

    Now my question is : What for turntables/cd-players can i combine with the ddm4000 ?

    And do i need a soundcard like audiodj8 to combine them ?

  • @molitz95

    first question: you can plug any turntable/cd-player to any mixer

    second question: you can use it as a mididevice, in this case you won't be able to prelisten to the other channel, otherwise you defenetly need an audiodevice like audio2/4/8dj (6/10 are coming 1.4.2011) or (if you just want to try if this hobby fits to you) you can split a stereochannel or use the second channel of a multi-channel soundcart (5.1 soundcard for example) won't be as safe and good as the devices but works

  • Ive had to return 2 of these since xmas due to power cut outs and strange firmware issues.. shame too i quite liked it when it worked..

  • @muzikmasteruk theres always somebody

  • Thanks for the review! Seems to have a LOT of stuff in it! Some engineer really went wild there! :D I got so many ideas watching the video .. it's like a delay with a maximizer in the loop in my head now xD

  • thanks so much for the review! so, i have an IDJ2, and are looking to upgrade maby in the foreseeable future, so with that being said, is there anyway to link the two together in anyway?

  • please respond. can i use this with the numark v7s??

  • @nickunicorn Sure you can. You can use the V7's with any DJ mixer though, ANY... That is what the V7 was built for over the NS7. you can choose your own mixer! Cheers,

  • not quite pioneer

  • je mix demain dessus chez un pote :)

  • So I was thinking on buying the american audio vms4 because I wanted to use MP3's. The fact that this can be used as a MIDI controller means that I can use it the same way as the American Audio (plug n' play) but with digital effects directly from the console. The only thing missing would be the jog wheels?

  • HEY HOW MUCH IS THE PRICE OF THIS MIXER?!!

  • hey, get out of ma way.

  • Maybe it is better than previous Behringer efforts, maybe it is good value, but I still think it's a pile of shite, and wouldn't waste my money on anything from Behringer, especially their DJ gear.

  • Hey andre, I saw you have the Numark Idj2 conected to the mixer. Does the IDJ2 work nicelly with the mixer?

  • Hi, how can you use this mixer without cd players?

    can you play, sync, loop and use it with a laptop?

  • not true, djx700 had very smooth faders they weren't optical but still you could "blow" the fader and it would go up. That was on my djx700

  • not true, djx700 had very smooth faders they weren't optical still you could blow the fader and it would go up. That was on my djx700

  • I think amma buy one ..

  • hi. im not sure weather i should get this or the pioneer djm 400. could i have your oppinion ?

  • just a great tutorial

  • Hey there andrecato, you are awesome! Thanks so much for making a tutorial on how to use the BERINGER DDM4000 and showing its features. It is highly recognized.

  • @behringer . Thanks Behringer, say hi to Uli for me and keep the gear coming! The X1 fader is amazing, great work!

  • @andrecato Thanks andrecato! We're glad you like our X1 fader. And hey, Uli says “Hi!” back.

  • @andrecato Thanks andrecato! We're glad you like our X1 fader. And hey, Uli says "Hi" back.

  • @behringer Would you recommend this over the DJX750? 100 PRICE difference

  • Does it have the fader which allows you to listen to both turntables through the headphones to sync beats manually....thanx

  • mixah & subwoofah

  • great video :o)

  • I just got mine today, serious mixer, loving it so far, also for the money there aint any thing else out that can touch it, spot on Behringer.

  • till what BPM goes this mixer ? cuz I play D&B , its about 170-180 bpm.

    so does this mixer count this range ? I need the bpm count for the effects !

  • @eksman187

    I do not play music at that bpm but I just make an manual tap and reads 192 bpm...

    Maybe it goes up to 200...

  • I was wondering is the sample sectio and the FX work when I'm using it as a midi controller for traktor?... since I don't really put a real audio signal through the mixer do I?..

  • Hi everyone-- this is a great demo and we want to thank the creators of it! Just one thing: the faders on this mixer are not optical. There is an optional crossfader (the Infinium X-1) that is optical.

  • when you said it comes with traktor 3 what do you mean?! traktor le? traktor pro?! or traktor duo?

  • this mixer is dope....but your lucky if you get a year out of it....faders are cheap,,,but i think they beefed them up a bit,,,,on the newer ones...

  • i just got this mixer 3 days ago.... and it work fine with my denon hd2500. but now i wanna use it as a midi with my numark cue.. can anyone help me set it up.

    thanks in advance

  • @DJsais3s First you would have to get a MIDI interface then I don't think mapping it is difficult, I actually think it can be done with some kind of learn mode.

  • do u need to have a laptop and software to use this?

  • @flyersqb5 no. you can use it as a midi if u want. its a regular mixer.

  • miXXa!

  • lol at 05:56

  • I've got a big party coming up. My brother and I are going to buy B-52 matrix 1000 v2 active PA system tomorrow. The PA has XLR inputs only. I figured get this mixer and run my laptop to one of the channel inputs (line). Is this setup all I'll need? Thanks for the advice. Oh and great review too!

  • @christwagon1980... That will be all you need... Oh, unless you include leads and some power!

  • this turntable is really good for home but not for club. I have one at home and i really happy, but in my studio have a djm800. Thats more diferent. But y recomend for use at home.

    Note: Sorry for my english, I from spain and i learning now. House classic music power, good songs.

  • this thing is a BEAST! I'm so tempted to splash out n get one

  • steht auch alles ausführlich im handbuch... für lese faule ein sau gutes video - well done good job

  • can you use this with virtual dj?

  • i have this mixer...and those studio moniters in the back. theyre both simply amazing

  • With the price in mind, and behringers earlier history of making cheapy gear, this seem to be a spot on mixer in the lower end segment, but with the distinction of thinking out of the box, this mixer sure offer more functions and setups than any other mixer, like A&H, Pioneer and Denon.

    Sure DJM 800, DNX 1700 is quality i know, but for what price?

    If the 800ed where constructed this way "Functionwise" i would feel much more comfortable, able to edit crossover, mic imputs and so forth.

  • Wow! This is one hell of a mixer....I'm very close to purchasing it but wanted to know if it will work with any software?Serato is what I'll be using. Also, are those speaker outputs I see in the back?????

  • dizzybang, because they are cheap!!

    djx is good for beginners (not very bad)

    i don't like the bad faders and the bpmcounter is isn't very usefull!!!

    try pioneer

  • @andrecato Do you think this mixer is suitable for a beginner dj?

  • how come it doesnt have the little turntables?

  • @Monchi2006 Because its a mixer!!!!!

  • @Monchi2006 pmsl.

  • @Monchi2006 This is only a mixer. A standard setup would require 2 audio sources such as turntables or CDJ's. You can get ambitious and have up to 4, hence the four channels.

  • in the newer update of the mixer they changed the LEDS to dimmer ones

  • Comment removed

  • HELP PLEASE!

    My PFL doesnt seem to work or maybe i am doing something wrong.

    I cant cue a channel and mix in the headphones. The only way i can hear anything coming out of the headphones is when it turn the knob to PGM.

  • HELP PLEASE!

  • the sampler seems really cool and user friendly. :) I plan on getting this mixer.

  • Excellent demo. Thanks.

  • great tutorial!

    i laughed so much when you said "hey man get out of my way"

  • is the X fade optical?

  • Been using it for a year now, and I have a few problems. I have to say it's been a sweet ride so far, but after some time the buttons wear out REALLY quickly, and the Soundquality (output, EQs, etc) is only slightly above average. But, it's the perfect mixer if you just started mixing!

  • best tutorial seen so far

  • get out of my way^^ xD

  • Is there a plug to join with laptop?

  • yes there is its a midi 2 so u can control ur software useeing ur mixer

  • i want to know something........ i m going to buy cortex hdtt 5000, can i join these with this behringer ddm 4000? And can i connect this behringer ddm 4000 with my laptop to run with virtual dj software nad choose songs? Does it have bpm counter? Can i use only Cortex hdtt 5000s and behringer ddm 4000 as a full set? What's your opinion about my plan? If you don't mind , could you please help me to solve things up? Thanks alot..........

  • hi mate im using cortex decks with a ddm 4000. and used vdj before this. 1st thing buy a iomega 2.5 inch hard drive 250gb and load all your songs onto the drive. make sure the hdd u buy comes with a twin power usb single usb hdd wont work at all. you can load all your songs off your pc to it and use them with cortex decks. you wont need to use vdj anymore. also VDJ WILL NOT WORK WITH THE DDM4000. hope this helps as i went around the bend figuring out the hdtt5000

  • nice shirt

  • what is better this or djm 400 ? i have djm 400 but i want four channels ?:S

  • How does this one compare to the much more expensive DJM700 from Pioneer? And is the BPM meter acurate? Some effects rely on it and heard on several other mixer that it can be off. Thanks and keep up the good reviews!!

  • how much does Behringer DDM4000 cost? i mean the price.......thz

  • i hate to bring up the crusty analog vs digital debate (which i see amongst synth heads, of which i'm one), but someone spoke of this vs a numark (something, which is analog?). i'm not a dj, but am curious about these kind of mixers. used to have a cheap mackie and tapco, but no outboard mixer now. anyway...this (digital)..versus something analog? what say you? please comment..; )

  • you know a lot of the old school purists say analog is always better, and I wish I could agree, but in terms of sound quality, ease of mixing, whistles and bells, and just the variety of syncing toys, mixers, and software like this stuff, I mean, digital just offers a whole lot more.

    say for instance, I can have traktor on a computer, a mixer like this, ableton on my friends computer, some timecodes somewhere, maybe a kaoss pad, an ableton controller, and everything just works flawlessly.

  • hi how can i set up these mixer with serato sl3 and denon s3700 need help on how to set up please reply soon thanks

  • You hit the buttons really effin hard lol

  • Comment removed

  • Hi Andre, great review. Im torn between this and the djm-400. I mix only use 2 channels so dont need 4, making the djm-400 a good choice, as the main thing im looking for is solid sound quality for recording and great effects. im prepared to spend the extra for the djm but is this a serious alternative effects wise?

    Thanks, Baz

  • i bought this a few months ago and the sound quality is awesome, the effects are wide ranging and fully (and very easily) adjustable by using the screen. i think although you may use two decks now but you will always have the option of another 2 and won't have to buy another mixer to cater to your needs. i was a bit cautious about the negativity around behringers quality but after using this and the djm800 and can say i much prefer my DDM4000!

  • sold Im guna order this right now

  • Best thing that Behringer ever released. But still i wont change my Allen & Heath Xone:92... =)))) Simply , still , there is nothing better than A&H.

  • PLEASE someone help me.

    i wanna buy that scratch live poster

    in the background. does anyone who where i can get it?

  • *****PLEASE HELP*****

    I d like to buy the DDM 4000 mixer by BEHRINGER. i d like to control the traktor's 4 decks via midi. How many outputs the audio interface i will buy must have (for controling the decks and pre listen the tunes)????

  • 4 outputs

    Something like the Gigabyte HD which is all outputs (4 channels) or maybe even NI Audio 8 will do the job perfectly. Either one are both good for what you want to do.

  • i am just starting out and alreadi have 2 denon dn-s1200's and am looking for a mixer.. i am a beginner but at same time i hate to have poor quality products. which mixer would you guys recommend? i was looking at Behringer products because of the price? someone help? thanx

  • Hello. I wonder, how come your lights are blue and red, and mine are orange and green?:)

  • Really? Wow, now, that I don't know! Maybe they changed colours in a newer version, or maybe you can change the colours and I simply didn't know! Anyone got an answer to this one? I will email Behringer and ask for you mate...

  • it must be a new version that they quickly redid.

    i'm quite proud that i got this one though, the lights are perfect, and it also shows that behringer was listening to what people had to say about it

  • Yeah its a new version... they changed the lights they had too many complaints... but its a good thing the new ones are great.

  • The color of the led changes if you are in single mode the led is blue if your on multi mode the led changes to yellow/green. The same goes for the top leds. If your in phono mode the led is yellow/green if your in line mode the led is then blue. I hope this helps you out.

  • @andrecato yea the new version is different and the older one they said is that its was too bright that i could harm u in a way..

  • @andrecato new version blue ones were too bright

  • I wish I had green.... Mine are Orange and Red.

  • @Antofffka i can answer that :p the first generation of the ddm400 had blue and red and orange lights but the blue led lights were so bright and powerfull behringer got lots of complaints, it is really annoying... i have a first gen mixer and it really is way to shiny in your eyes... i just bought myself a pioneer again now cause in quality there really is a difference. but i still have the behringer as a backup mixer :)

  • hey

    i played with a djx700 and 750 but for some reason they just felt cheap...does this mixer have the cheap plasticy feel or no? this a big buy and a response would be awesome-thanx m8

  • Hi,

    I agree, as I mention in this video, the DDM4000 is a BIG step in quality from the DJX series. Better faders and feel and sound from the unit as well as features. For the price, its great.

  • @DIZZYBANG  its metal

  • god i love the way you pronounce your i's.

    go all blacks.

  • Im getting these mixxer for sure now thanx mate...

  • hey andre!!!! i got this mixer about 1month ago and im running it as a midi controller thro traktor 3. is there any possible way to prelisten? or do i have to use it as a normal mixer

  • hello andre..

    i have qustion.. can i connect the numar i dj2 with the Behringer DDM4000 ?

  • Hi,

    Ummm, how would you like to connect? There isn't any real reason to, other than the effects or sampling you could do via the DDM4000. The iDJ2 is a complete package, so all you need do is plug it into speakers, however, you could plug in the iDJ output to a channel input of the DDM4000 and then use effects and so on... Not much point doing that, better to buy an effects unit or sampler to go with your iDJ2, or buy a media player for your DDM4000. Hope that helps!

  • hey can any one help me here.

    just started djing and i hav only go pioneer 100s and behinger djx750 and because the cdj100s dont hav bpm counters i hav to rely on the mixers bpm counter's, and they are'nt acurate at all n its fustrating, if i was to buy this mixer is the bpm counters acurate enough????. (also cos i just started i cant really sync beats just by sound)

    thnx.

  • Practice practice practice till you can match the beats by sound...

  • Yes U Can...Its A MIDI Controller And An ANALOG MIXER as Well...And It Comes With TRACKTOR And All of your nobs and butons are pre-mapped...

    DJ Double-J

  • andre i have a question, im going to buy one of those, and do i need to buy turntables too? i mean cant i use it with my music on the computer?

  • You Can ... use the Line-In inputs

  • Hi firstly can u tell me the name of the track from 5:10 onwards (the one that u sample) as i love that tune!!

    Secondly I Brought this mixer a while ago and love it!!!! (and thats goin from a djm800!!) But its a hell of a lot to take in tho!

    one prob tho want to no how to make the sampler at least 99% dead on as hear u have on yr vid with that track i like! is there a sample trim function or something tike the roll effect on the 800?

    Many thanks
