lloydc Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 djm2000 is only a bit more than that...I know what i'd prefer Quote
tubby Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 saw the 2000 in a shop recently, really wasn't that impressed. still, different beasts, 4d is really if you want plenty of midi controls Quote
CBG Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 4D is by far the best MIDI controller in the world and best quality mixer.Pioneer is the best for clubs though, I've used it a few times n its pretty mad. You cant realy compare the two in the end, they are both aimed at different types of mixing. Quote
chrismak Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 They'll sell out quickly with that price!I never understood why they couldn't offer a 4 band eq, since the 4D is essentially a xone-92 with a xone-2D and 1D attached to either side. Maybe they wanted to keep the 92 as one-of-a-kind Quote
tubby Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 i think it was size limits, would be pretty cramped with an extra decent sized eq knob. they must have kept the size only as deep as tt's Quote

lloydc Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 4 Bands are massive pain in the arse sometimesI've never used a 4 band mixer, but it just seems un-necessary IMO Quote
CBG Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 gd for dubstep and big systems with low end response subs Quote
lloydc Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I might have to go and give one a go at djwarehouse... there's always been something cheap looking about the A&H mixers, despite their build quality Quote
krsjuan Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 yo. i know nothing of this mixerquestion.. i am thinking of updating my ttm57sl to a mixer+ serato box set up.do those 2 jog wheels function as cdjs and can they be mapped to respond with serato aswell as my turntables?!? Quote
tubby Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 I have them mapped in tracktor to do slow track search, scratch and fast search depending on what other button I hold down. They can work kind of like cdj's but they are too small to be good at that. Quote
eggssell Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I might have to go and give one a go at djwarehouse... there's always been something cheap looking about the A&H mixers, despite their build qualitymight not look as metallic and sturdy but they sound better. of course the issue is the sound system avail for them to output too.

pulsebeat Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 the new serato sl4 willbut currently none do Quote
krsjuan Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 the new serato sl4 willbut currently none doso. if i was to get serato sl4 and a xone4 i could map the jog wheels to be cdjs and remove the need for completely seperate cdjs???? Quote
tubby Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 if you were doing that you might as well get the mixer of your choice and the midi controllet of choice. half the attraction of the 4d is the built in soundcard, but with serato you need their soundcard as the dongle. get a xone 92, 2* 1d or any such combination, more flexible Quote

lloydc Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I'm curious why you'd want to map jog wheels to act like cdj's? I mean if you're using a DVS system with TT's or CDJ's, why not just use them?I'm guessing it's a mobile thing, and its to save you lugging around stuff? Quote

eggssell Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 kyle what you are saying is possible and a very good idea, i.e. 2TT's controlling 2 decks, and the Xone 4D jogs controlling the other 2, and since it it is TSP certified you dont need an Audio 8 either (or so i think??).not too mention its fully mappable so you can hotkey pretty much much every function you will ever need. i.e. never touch the keyboard, just the TT's and the 4DEDIT: oh just realised you already have serato so dont care about the audio 8 thang Quote
tubby Posted January 19, 2011 Author Posted January 19, 2011 you can set them up to jog, like the outer ring of the cdj's. I'd suggest with your setup though I would keep 2 real decks and use 2 sync'd decks for samples and the like within traktor Quote
