i used that tascam mixer at a loft party a few months ago. the faders were so flimsy and all the buttons for efx, eqs, ect. make it seem so cluttered. i heard there is alot of problems with them if thats tru i dont know, i spun for 7 hours str8 and no problem with it. choosing ur mixer is all about what u want to spend and what ur gonna use it for. personally id stay with vestax, pioneer,denon, allen &heath and rane
