Bad times It does allow DJs to switch over much much much smoother. The xwax Thread! Unless you're a scratch dj make sure to buy a 4 channel mixer, somewhere down the line you'll appreciate the bigger investment at first. Originally Posted by bucky.

Should I go with a two or four-channel mixer? I am afraid that if I get a two-channel mixer, I will want to upgrade it to a four-channel mixer.
I only plan on using two decks but it seems like a lot of people still have four-channel mixers. In your opinion, is it important to have a mixer with more than two channels and why?
A four-channel mixer is for four audio sources. If you're not planning on having more than two, then a two-channel mixer is fine. With most two channel mixers, you can hook up two turntables and two CD players, but you can only play two of those at the same time. To play the turntables, you normally have to push a button or flip a switch and put the mixer on phono input, to play the CD's, you press a button or flip a switch and put it on line input. With a 4 channel mixer, you can play all four sources at the same time if you want to.
Since most 4 channel mixers have the same switches, you can hook up more stuff to them, like 4 CD players and two turntables, or you can hook up an iPod or something else. In a bar setting, they can mix two songs and scratch sound fx on 3, while setting a request on 4 until an appropriate time to play it. Either way, they always have two decks for mixing all the time. Studio Mix: 2 channels for digital mixing. Live Shows: 4 channels free for digital mixing — very rarely four-channel mixing, three tops, 4th for Accapella use.
Two channels are all you technically need, mixing from one song to another. With a 4-channel mixer, you essentially have more room to expand if you wish to do so in the future.
Such as upgrading to four decks. With two channels, you can only ever use two. Why do I say this, well you might upgrade to a 4-channel mixer or more in the future. Professional clubs usually have 4 channel mixers and above. CDJs can break through heavy handed DJs or just wear and tear over time.
Channels can break and so can present an issue if there are limited channels to use. Finally, professional DJs like to DJ on more than 2 CDJs too as it gives creative freedom to add vocal acapella tracks in the mix easily while mixing two normal tracks together.
Starting out as a DJ? Then you only need 2-channels to mix music together and get really great at DJing. Progressing as a DJ? Then consider getting a bigger 4-channel mixer or more, this will help you upgrade and connect more audio sources to the DJ mixer. This will give you the confidence to be more creative and not be stunned when you get to a club DJ mixer, therefore giving you more confidence to DJ in a club.
Rather it would come down to budget also.
