Stanton M.207 2-Channel Scratch Mixer with Effects

0:05 From on the other mixer I've

Right guys, video number one on this mixer from a company called Stanton. It's known as the M.207. Let's have a look inside da box. Right, first things first, you'll notice that styleflip.com. Now everyone's always asking me where I get the cover from on the other mixer I've got and that is where you get it from, styleflip.com. There you go. Okay, so there you go. We've got the destruction manual, you've got your power cable, your mixer and this thing here. That's known as silica gel. I highly recommend you do not under any circumstances if you run out of sugar put that in your coffee because you'll probably end up growing a third ear. That is there basically to keep the moisture away from your items. So the best thing to do with that

All you have to do is chuck it. Alternatively, what I occasionally do is stick it in a drawer somewhere around the house where things tend to start getting a little bit moist and it just... Right, OK. You see, let's be honest, we all like things to be simple, and I like this. M.207, two-channel scratch mixer with effects. Now, theoretically, it will do exactly what it says on the tin. Right, let's have a look. Talk amongst yourself.

1:54 My first impression is it feels very sexy

My first impression is it feels very sexy. It's very slick, smooth and yeah, nice feel to them. Also they're rubbery, very rubbery. So where you've got, you know, I can feel myself wanting to that sort of thing. There you go. And something that is wonderful. Oh my god, this is so good. Pan control! Yes, I believe every mixer should have pan control. Please watch and learn. Alright, it's so important. I mean, normal mixers, a lot of them will just have pan control on the master out. Alright, what is pan control? Well basically that's sort of channel one. Let's say hypothetically this is channel two. And what you can basically do on channel 1 is all of a sudden you can whip the pan over to L, which is left. So it means now all the sound will be going through the left speakers and then there, whip that over to R, right, all the sound will be going through the right speakers. So you can have one deck playing through the left, one deck through the right. Let's say for example you're in the mix.

3:22 It's one great effect

And then, of course, logically I'm holding the camera so I can only do this with one hand. But, within the flick of a switch, you know, your right hand is here, your left hand's here, and you can do romp, romp like that, and then you've got the opposite on eight different speakers. It's one great effect. It makes the crowd sort of, I don't know, they sort of twist and turn and think what the hell's going on, but it's what you want them to do in a sense. So, right, let's just have a look at the back of the unit. And what have we got here? Ok, master out, we've got jack out, we have RCA and record as well, so that's great, so you can record as well as main master out. We've got fader start, auxiliary, line, phono, line, phono, and these guys here are ground, so if you've got vinyl turntables and you've got that really thin wire, that foggiest what it's for, attach it to that and it'll stop buzzing.

There's the bass, and if we whop it over, there we go. Even more for channel 1, channel 2, and crossfade as well. So we'll be doing some interesting demos on this guy here. So well done Stanton. There we go. Video number one on this guy, the M.207. And what I'll do, I'll put a linkable link in the description to this guy and also to those guys as well. Alright? Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
