Xone: DB4- the official unofficial thread

[fullenglishpint]

Some UK clubs seem to have them installed.

Do you know of any in particular?

[ekwipt]

Fabric definitely has one

I think MOS as well

But most of the big clubs have most of the top mixers on hand

Yeh I'm sure the big ones have every mixer you could think of, but I'd be interested to know if any clubs have the DB4 installed as their only mixer where you'd normally expect to find a DJM.

I don't think it would be a good idea to have a DB4 as your primary mixer. It's a sweet piece of kit but I think the main mixer should be as easy to understand as possible- one thing DJMs really have going for them is their easily recognizable layout.

[fullenglishpint]

I suppose that's a fair point. Shame.

[MrPopinjay]

Still, every secondary mixer should probably be a DB4 ;P

[djproben]

so who do we talk to about creating a new forum for mixers?

[fullenglishpint]

Tekki I guess.

MOS always have a mainly Pioneer set-up whenever I play there, although they do have multiply set-ups in-booth so his may be a posibility.

I just think it is utterly pointless to learn amazing techniques and skills on something you may come across in a club once every few months, if that.

We haven't had a good talk in here in a while

So I've got another firmware update idea that I think could be really powerful- hopefully mixarchitekt reads this and I'll send a ticket to A&H

I got to thinking how it would be nice to have a master isolator and since there is no external FX loop routing I had a cool idea. I would love a firmware option that would allow one channel to be turned into a master FX and EQ section- basically you would turn on an option in the menu and channel 4 would resample the master output. This would allow you to apply FX to the master, loop the master, filter the master, EQ the master, and allow you to have a master isolator by turning on the isolator EQ mode for that channel. It would possibly disable the gain and volume fader for that channel or maybe not a master fader could be interesting.

Thoughts?
