Another awesome feature that mixers double its price dont even have is midi control. You can map every single button and knob on the mixer in VDJ, Traktor, Serato, you name it, and use it as a controller. AND this mixer comes with hardware for mounting it in a rack, club, or case, which is an extra $65 for Pioneer mixers.
The Lowdown
The Behringer DDM4000 is a highly equipped mixer and great value, missing just one thing – an audio interface. That means to use it with your DJ software you’ll need a separate audio interface or media players with audio interfaces built in (you’ll need a Midi-to-USB cable too).

First Impressions / Setting up
The Behringer DDM4000 is a four-channel mixer with a dedicated mic channel with two XLR mic inputs. The DDM4000 has two bank samplers, dual Effects engines, and also functions as a Midi controller. Almost everything in the DDM4000 is mappable and presets can be saved for up to eight unique users.
In Use

The DDM4000 has an entry-level price but with some features that can be found on mixers from Pioneer DJ, Rane, Allen & Heath, and so on. However, you cannot expect that the knobs, faders, buttons, and sound quality to be as good as its more expensive competitors. The build quality is also just decent with a mix of plastic and metals which can last you long if you aren’t too rough with it.
There is plenty to like about the DDM4000. There are the FX unit, filters, fader knobs, three-band EQ, samplers, an EQ and compressor for the mic channel, Midi controls, BPM sync on every function, and so much more – all standard features for a modern digital DJ mixer.
For the DJ with a knack for customisation, there are more than 80 mappable buttons, dials, and faders on the DDM4000. Eight unique settings can be saved and loaded on the mixer, which is a great timesaver for the club setup that has a number of resident DJs.
One of the most common gripes of the DDM4000 even among users with positive feedback is its tendency to suddenly go bonkers – it will stop working or malfunction for one reason or another. This is remedied by a reboot and happens seldom enough for users to keep the mixer. Still, the possibility of a malfunction occurring at least once is there, so bear that in mind when considering purchasing this.
Conclusion
Behringer Digital Pro Mixer Ddm4000 Traktor 1
It’s hard not to like the Behringer DDM4000 with the number of features it offers for a price that is only a third of its competitors. Its downside is its build quality and reliability though. If you’re on a budget, can live with just about decent sound quality and the occasional hiccup, then you may want to consider the DDM4000 as part of your shortlist.

In an ideal world, we’d be all over every single new product release with a team of eager review geeks hankering to lay paws upon the stream of shiny glittery boxes that are released with an unending frequency. Sadly that time is not upon us just yet, so I’m still posting things that should have raised their head a long time ago. One such piece of work is a review for Behringer’s DDM4000 mixer – a pretty unique product with a feature set that doesn’t match up with the previous offerings of the brand.

Yes I’m more than aware that this review is laughably late, but it’s been written with care and has been very well received by Behringer themselves. And seeing as it’s still in their product range, it seems only fair to give it some love. And that love has been dished out by DJ Pegasus, who has clearly gone some way beyond the usual level of reviewing and got into a lot of the finer detail of the mixer.
For the record, I fitted the Infinium upgrade to the DDM4000 and was delighted with the improvement in feel and scratchability. For the sake of £40, it’s an upgrade worth doing.
Behringer’s flagship DJ mixer is a bit intimidating when you first lay eyes on it because of its large number of buttons and multi-function display. But when you look closer, you see that it’s actually quite intuitively laid out for anyone that’s used a DJ mixer before. Behringer just added a bunch of additional controls and features wherever there was space, and when they ran out of that, they put more in the menus! It’s almost as if they combed DJ forums for every comment starting with “It would be cool if my mixer had…” and just added all of those little — but very handy — features. Little things add up to a lot, and a lot is what you get with the DDM4000. It comes with a standard cross-fader but an Infinium optical one is available. (My test unit had the Infinium.)

I was at first a bit put off by the lighter weight of the unit and the thinner sheet metal on the bottom (both compared to my Pioneer DJM-500,) wondering if that portended quality issues. I soon found out I had nothing to worry about, and had I thought for a second, it would have all made sense. You see, this is a fully digital mixer, so what the DJM-500 — over 15 years old now — required many bulky and power-hungry discrete analog components to accomplish, the DDM4000 can do in just a few chips (and only 20 Watts,) with many more features to boot.
