thanks Andre, such a comprehensive view of this amazing mixer....unlike other reviewers, you actually have the skills to face the camera! ive bought mine, its coming in 2 days and im dying here with excitement.....oooohhh!! im gonna watch this again!

Just putting it out there, I'v had my DDM400 for about 3-4 years now; with giggin' it often , and beating it up quite a bit. it is still just as good as when I got it. there is no build quality problems or sound problems. good spend of money is this mixer.

I've just placed an order for one of these... I am looking forward to receiving it even more, having seen your demo. Thank you.

Top class video, Properly put in terms of practical use. He actually let you know how this mixer is good and what can be done with it. Thanks, Im having some of those sennheiser headphones aswell as that mixer.

Thank You Man, I love that mixer! Cheers from Italy

I bought this mixer 2 years ago but I hardly use it now since I bought a midi controller. I can't wait to start using it again.

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

Thanks so much for this video. My local guitar center has this on sale for 300$ USD so im going to pick it up asap. Best video of the DDM 4000 so far. Behringer is definitely going up

Excellent demo. Thanks.

LOVE This guy, ,

Why cant there be more videos like this? Excellent work andre this gives us a proper idea of the mixer and what it can do. Theres one of these on the way to my house as we speak, Altough I wanted one before I saw this video, I want one a lot more now!

Excellent video. I have been trying to find reviews/Info on this mixer but cannot find it anywhere. You have convinced me to give this mixer a serious look as I shop in the next month.

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!

Great tutorial. Thanks Andre :D

best tutorial seen so far

thank you for the review.... this is the one i will buy to go with my 2 XDJ-700... a good home set-up and it has midi in and outs for my AIRA/Moog studio...

Thank you for this, buying this mixer soon.

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

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

Yes, Yes and yes!!! Hi Mexico!

yes im going to get the DDM 4000 and 2 numark ndx 900 thanks for your help

just got it today it workzzzz greattttttttttttttttttttttttt

thanks! it looks like a great mixer and i will definantly buy one once i have the cash!

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

just a great tutorial

Does this mixer have dvs timecodes built into to control tracktor dj with vinyl or

Id appreciate it Andre...thanks a bunch

Hey Kamaakazi, Thanks for the comment, Behringer Australia sent me this mixer, so I guess 'they' as a company are doing the right thing and putting it in the hands of demonstrators that play with many products like it... Thanks though, glad you like the tutorial! I LOVE THIS MIXER...

Thank you guy....

great video :o)

Hi Tuco, Totally agree, the reputation stemmed from the analogue DJX700 mixer they created and really didn't sound right... The DDM is great. I use mine daily in my testing studio and run it as both a controller and audio mixer and I have had no issues at all. Definately a sound purchase in my opinion as the functionality for the price is great.

@andrecato Thank you! I appreciate it!

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.

Would all the effects still sync in time and work just as well with analog input? I have Technics 1210's looking to get a new mixer

Hey ktakytzu, It feels much better than the DJX-700 which agree was a terrible feeling mixer.. This one feels much stronger, works and sounds so much better! It has everything and has kept me happy.

Hey Taylor, The first thing that comes to mind is the select options for BPM, you can change it so it is automatic instead of manual.. Ok so when it says uncertain, press the little auto bpm button that is on either side of the screen.. This will put it into auto for you and lock it up nicely.... Its not your machine, its all of the DDM's that do this.. Its because you can program it so deeply so there are SOOO many options.

Do the BPM counters work with vinyl decks inputs? I cant seem to get them to work with them.

Yes, you can use ANY dj turntable or CD player with the DDM4000.

It's a digital and analog mixer. In other words, you can use it as a standalone mixer or as a midi device which controls traktor.

G'day Andre! Great review, extremely helpful for my decision making. Thinking of using it with Ableton through a dual channel soundcard and a couple of analog synths all sync-ed up. Looks like it can do the job. Thx! "Get out of my way!" 5:55....LOL

nice sampling!

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

Hell yeah! Yeah thanks! I can sample loops and drums right out the fly. That's what I'm talking about and no mapping! Even better

Also, when thinking about it, its really about how you will care for your gear. if you look after the Behringer it will serve you very well. Go check them out in a shop and see what feels better for you.

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!!!

Hey, cheers... - Having trouble syncing sampler with tracks, what am I missing? Make sure you have the AUTO BPM setting on and not a manual setting. This button is on the left hand side of the screen for FX1 and on the right of the screen for FX2. That is what i think is going wrong here.

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

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.

I'm currently looking for a new mixer to buy but at a budget, i'm wedged between ether this or a second hand DJM 600. What would you recommend?? Thanks

ddm4000 is still one of the best and most affordable digital mixers on the market in 2012

@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...

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..

hi andre, i was wondering how is the feel of the mixer because i was very disappointed when i touched the djx-700, i mean the knobs and faders were all over the place and in these video they seem very good.

For the price, its great.. Well mine is, some other people seem to be complaining about faders, but in all seriousness, its a VERY cheap mixer with great features, so its not bullet proof and if you require that, you will need to spend accordingly. If you are prepared to look after your gear, this mixer, and its faders will serve you well. I know because mine is still operating perfectly

i've had it for a month now and I feel it was worth every penny. it's offering everything I need and more, and it sounds great. I'm using the filters a lot, and though they are not as good as the filters and effects in traktor, it's so convenient to have them in front of me that I rather use the mixer nowdays. The sampler sucks, but I rather do that stuff with the computer. conclusion: buy yourself some nice stickers to put on the behringer logo and then go buy this unit! this unit is the shit.

sold Im guna order this right now

Yes, of course, just plug XLR or RCA leads directly from the output of the mixer to the XLR input on the EON speakers and off you go. Enjoy!

@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.

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

I Got this Mixer and It works really well. Now i want to hook it up to traktor pro so i can be mixing with a laptop. What Equipment do i need?? because i have the mixer and 2 pioneeer 850's. Thanx for any help

@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

Also, you can save settings, but not PFL on. Hold down the main control button in the middle of the two screens to get into the setup. If you have one button that doesn't work as it should, take your mixer back and have it replaced straight away!!!!

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?..

Great video man. but a question. I'm trying to decide between the DDM4000 and the mackie d4 pro. I want to use my laptop as the source. Which do you recommend?

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

You got it in one. you can plug it into your laptop, but you will need a midi to usb lead as the DDM has MIDI ports, but your computer will only have USB. Then yes, you can use your mixer to map any MIDI compatible messages with any of your DJ software.... No CD players required, you can even assign the transport controls of a cd player to the mixer...

do the linefaders on this mixer take well to abuse? for techniques like chopping, scratching etc.

I just bought a used one and the cross fade doesn't work. Could it be a setting in the mixer or serato?

Hi, The mixer won't change the BPM of tracks for you, but because it has BPM counters, you can see how fast each track is going and then use your turntables or CD players pitch control to make them go the exact same speed. So, yes, it will tell you how to do it, but you still have to do part of it yourself!

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

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

hi Andre. After watching a lot of videos in youtoube it seems you are the the one with most knowledge on this mixer. I just bough one and after goin through lots of troubleshooting I haven't been able to get it to work with traktor 3. I am also using a macbook, an m-audio one us/midi interface. I did not find the tsk files in the cd and i was wondering if you could post a video on how to control traktor with this promessing mixer. Thank you very much

While this is a digital mixer am I able to use it as a standalone mixer with turntables or does it have to run through traktor or another digital programme? looks like a sweet mixer fot the price

I just go this mixer. I got 2 numark ndx-400 cdj's connected to it. On my old mixer when I would press cue I would only hear it in my headphones. Now when I press cue it plays on the speakers as well. Any idea what I have to do to just hear it on the headphones?

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?

nice shirt

exactly how would you set the ddm 4000 up to work directly with traktor. or with traktor? thanks

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

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

@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....

help i have a problem. when i turn on my ddm4000 is says: "DDM4000 Bootloader v0.97: update mode, block;" It doesn't react at anything. Can you please help me ?

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 ?

@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.

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

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!!

@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,

top review! if u had the extra$200 and only need 2 channels is it worth buying the djm400 or does this thing just do everything plus more and better?

Just hit my ddm-4000 yesterday on serato dj with demon ds1 and I can't play anything, no audio. Do I need to map? I can play on screen but no audio on headphones or speakers. What could I be doing wrong?

can i plug a midi keyboard into this and then playh it through speakers without a computor

Where did you get the knobs? Can you find the online

Sorry I meant where did metinotje get his aluminum knobs

@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.

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!

Hey can you change how sharp the crossfader is on this mixer? I am a scratch DJ so I need a really sharp crossfader and I am looking to start doing video mixing so I wanted a mixer with midi on the crossfader. This looks like the best for the buck

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?????

Hey, I'm starting out just doing analog stuff for right now but am thinking about getting into digital once my funds permit me. Could I use the Behringer DDM4000 for just plane analog scratching?

how do you record your mixes with this mixer? like others have the booth but on this one how do you record ? or does it have the booth ?

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

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

Hi mate :) Wich one do you advice me to buy ? DJM 400 or DDM 4000 ? I'll be using CDJ 400 and Im a noob so wich one would do me better ? Nice vids you have
