We report the results of the Raman measurements under hydrostatic pressure to 12 GPa in isotopically mixed $^{12}$C$_{(1-x)}^{13}$C$_{x}$ (x=0.3 and 0.75) diamonds in the diamond anvil cell using helium as a pressure medium. The results show that the pressure dependences of isotopically mixed samples are stronger than that for almost isotopically pure natural diamond (x=0.011). We attribute this fact to the disorder effects that renormalizes the Raman frequency. We acknowledge the use of the CDAC facility in Geophysical Laboratory Carnegie Institution of Washington.
