Hi I am new to forums so please excuse me if I have posted in the wrong area.
I have just purchased a Allen and Heath Xone DB4 mixer. What I can not work out though is how to adjust the volume levels of each channel. I am a DJ and I do not mix with the crossfader. I use the channel faders to bring in the mix and fade it out. So using these to control the overall volume levels is out of the question. I normally use the master gain of each channel to balance out the volume and make sure that one tune is not overpowering the other. The DB4 does not seem to have this function on it at all. It has a master trim button but all this seems to do on mine is amplify the sound from a basic level sound which is quite loud already. I have this trim/amp button turned all the way down as is very loud to begin with anyway and clips at just half the full turn that it can do. I know that I can use the tops, mids and low buttons to control the volume, but this is just too long winded as I will have to turn three buttons instead of one to get the desired result.
Does anyone know how to get around this on this mixer or am I doing something wrong? Also is this a common thing with Allen and Heath mixers? Not to have an individual master gain for each channel that totally kills the sound. Sorry for the story long question but I would love for any help you can give me.
I have 2 x CDJ1000 mk3 plugged into the digital part of the mixer. This is where I am having problems. I also have 2 x Technics 1210 plugged in via phono and I have just checked and I do not have this problem. These volumes are very quiet and I have a full range of kill via the trim button to turn it up a lot. Maybe this is caused cause I am using digital????
