Yes. The DJM-850 has a highly accurate crossfader with a very solid feel, offering good performance for scratching and fast mixing. Although it doesn't have the MAGVEL Crossfader of later models, it remains a very capable mixer for these techniques.

It's a good idea to check the feel of the faders, the crossfader, the EQ and effects knobs, the CUE buttons, and all audio inputs and outputs, including the headphone output. We also recommend verifying that the USB audio interface is working correctly and recognized by the computer.

The Pioneer DJM-850 and DJM-800 are 4-channel digital mixers with a very similar layout and virtually identical operating philosophy. Both operate at 96 kHz/24-bit and offer Sound Color FX and Beat FX that are synced to the BPM. The main difference is that the DJM-850 incorporates a USB sound card with 4 stereo inputs and 4 outputs, allowing it to connect directly to a computer for DJing, recording, or using DJ software.

The DJM-850 also adds Beat Color FX, which combines the processing of Sound Color FX with the rhythmic information of each channel, and expands the Beat FX to 13 types. The DJM-800, on the other hand, offers a different effects system, with up to 50 combinations and 61 assignable MIDI channels. The DJM-850 is a good option if you're looking for the DJM-800's philosophy with USB connectivity, DVS, and more up-to-date effects features, while the DJM-800 may be particularly interesting for those seeking the classic character and setup of this generation of Pioneer.

The Pioneer DJM-850 and DJM-900Nexus are 4-channel digital DJ mixers with a 4-in/4-out USB sound card, 13 Beat FX, Sound Color FX, and DVS compatibility. The DJM-900Nexus adds Pro DJ Link for connecting players and sharing information over the network, as well as features like Quantize for synchronizing Beat FX, cues, and loops with rekordbox data.

The DJM-850 stands out for its USB sound card, which supports up to 96 kHz/24-bit, and for incorporating Beat Color FX with sidechain control. The DJM-900Nexus, on the other hand, is more geared towards club setups with multiple players connected via Pro DJ Link and offers a more integrated effects system within the Pioneer DJ ecosystem. The choice primarily depends on whether you prioritize the USB connectivity and production/DVS capabilities of the DJM-850 or the DJ booth features of the DJM-900Nexus.

The Pioneer DJM-850 and DJM-750MK2 are 4-channel digital mixers with a very similar layout and features such as Sound Color FX, Beat FX, Send/Return, USB, and DVS. The main difference lies in the audio system: the DJM-850 incorporates a 4-input, 4-output stereo sound card with processing up to 96 kHz/24-bit, while the DJM-750MK2 operates at 48 kHz.

The DJM-850 also has 13 Beat FX and Beat Color FX, while the DJM-750MK2 features 11 Beat FX and two effects units. Furthermore, the 750MK2 incorporates EQ curves and faders inherited from the DJM-900NXS2 and a more recent design inspired by that mixer. The DJM-850 is a good option if you're looking for greater audio flexibility and USB connectivity, while the DJM-750MK2 is interesting for those who want a 4-channel setup with the mixing concept of the more modern DJM range.

The Pioneer DJM-850 and the Allen & Heath Xone:92 represent two different approaches to 4-channel mixers. The DJM-850 is digital and incorporates a 4-in/4-out USB sound card, 13 Beat FX, Sound Color FX, and DVS. The Xone:92 uses a completely analog circuit, with 4 Phono/Line channels, 4-band EQ, and two analog VCF filters with HPF, BPF, and LPF.

The DJM-850 is better suited for setups that require computer integration, digital effects, and DVS, while the Xone:92 focuses on analog processing, its 4-band EQ, and Allen & Heath's signature filter system. The Xone:92 also offers two additional microphone/return channels, as well as two auxiliary buses for external effects. These are therefore two different approaches to a 4-channel setup: digital and effects-oriented in the DJM-850 versus analog and focused on EQ and filters in the Xone:92.

The Pioneer DJM-750 and DJM-850 are 4-channel digital mixers with a 4-in/4-out USB sound card at 24-bit/96 kHz and 13 Beat FX. The DJM-750 incorporates 4 Sound Color FX and Boost Color FX, while the DJM-850 adds Beat Color FX, which uses sidechaining to modify the Sound Color FX in sync with the music.

The DJM-850 also features Send/Return connections for external effects, MIDI, and two microphone inputs, as well as additional controls and functions for working with DJ software. Both are DVS compatible and allow you to use the USB sound card to send and receive up to four stereo channels from your computer.

In short, the DJM-750 offers a simpler setup with 13 Beat FX and Boost Color FX, while the DJM-850 expands the possibilities for effects and connections, especially for setups with external effects and a computer.
