I have the exact same problem. What he said about the mics is true. They start out sounding half good then they loose presence and start sounding harsh and squashed. I have compressor and every other effect turned to zero? The mic sound coming from my mixer compared to the one from the 707 is night and day difference. I feel like crying because I really want to love this controller. Another problem is sometimes the pads don't respond on the first hit...

Have you run the Firmware updater? If so, you then need to follow it up with a full Factory Reset to refresh the new Firmware update.

Finally got around to replacing my MC6000mk2 with the Roland 707m, Have to say I have not had the problems here? As Glenski says take a day to sit down and go through the settings and do a bit of tuning with the settings.

Yeah I had same issues, the factory DB mic settings suck, the one button fix all menu is ridiculous. I thought everything was good before going into several gigs, but every f'n time had mike issues, and then fx issues with the sound... talk about nightmare. Whatever team put this garbage mixer together that was supposedly based on event dj feedback.... couldn't have chosen a bigger bunch of clowns including the djs they used for advice.

Can't believe 2 years have gone by and people are still having problems with this Controller.
Glad I stayed with my Denon MC7000, a brilliant Controller to use with VDJ.

lol ya'll keep necroing this one guy's post. I got this mixer last week and it's fantastic. I /did/ have some initial microphone trouble. When they say the 1st two mic pre-amps are studio quality they mean it and they mean they want a strong solid mic signal coming in. My lav mic sounded like crap when I plugged it in. After balancing (it has detailed control over EQ and attenuation) and the vocal effects turned off it sounded fine. My sm-58, on the other hand, sounds amazing running through it, effects and all, and far better than any other dj-mixer mic input I've used.
So microphone challenge aside, this mixer has everything I need and then some. 4 channels, 2 effects units (and good built-in effects), responsive platters, I/O out the yin-yang (go look at the specs! go look at the routing it can do!), built solid, and has great integration with Virtual DJ. It also has the classy-ist aesthetics except for Denon.
So the hype is real. Grab one and find out.
And it has a basic 808 drum machine and primitive synth hidden in there.
