My bad......at the moment it seemed this was about ppl just talking good things about the Xone DB4!
Mods, please delete this post if needed.
I apologise!

Dude your gonna lowball yourself right out of your DB4, just because you gotta have the newest piece of gear. We have all done it and we all know better now.

This! I tried to sell my DJM 900 NXS when the Kontrol S8 came out. Luckily i had extra cash at the time so I bought the S8 before I sold my 900 and I realized within 30 minutes of using the S8 that it was a huge mistake.

Thankfully I just returned the S8 within 24 hours and kept the 900, that would've been a catastrophic mistake

I love Rotary mixers, they are my preference....
I am rightfully intrigued.
Good point about the USB hub too. I can live with that!

So you have your answer right?

Enjoy waiting for the Rane, and enjoy owning it once you have it in good health

Cheers, Boris

Very kind of you Boris.
But i am having a touch time selling the DB4.....i thought at a low price it would fly, but i have gotten no interest yet....

btw Deejaesnafu, how is OSX YOSEMITE working with Traktor, Live 9, Komplete 10 etc ?
May be getting a new iMac so wondering if DAWS and Plug-ins have caught up!

Cheers

traktor seems stable, ableton itself is also stable , i am having an issue with ableton crashing when i try to load certain instruments via the komplete kontrol vst. its very annoying but i cant tell if i should blame ableton or NI.. i have found work arounds so i can technically route any instrument i need one way or another, but it would be nice to iron it out. in the end i see little difference between OS versions.

p.s. nyne, in the future, always remember to wait until AFTER namm to make those big buys :P

Lesson learnt mate!!!

Just internally switch the line faders to drty wet sliders and vice versa then you have a rotary mixer with awesome effects then all you are losing out on is the Isolator on the Rane however get the Rane and you lose out way more.
I love both mixers and if i had the cash would own both just been down the same road on buying a mixer got the Xone

I don't think matrix inputs makes sense on a four channel mixer with separate top digital/line selector switches like on the DB4. There's no point to it, except for maybe duplicating inputs for effects. The Rane needed more inputs or putting digital/analog selectors on the top where you could reach them, and a three channel matrix version with, say, 6 inputs on the rear would have been preferable. Three line (switchable to phono on the rear) and three digital inputs. Again, with three mixing channels. You can't really get three CDJs and three TTs on it at the same time without having to mess with the back switches right now.

The samplers alone are worth having the matrix inputs. I used them constantly to create buildups, re-edit tracks on the fly, and creating a re-send to layer fx. I used the matrix inputs a couple times during that all vinyl set when Gritzen came out to keep part of a tune looped in the sampler while mixing the intro of that same track in on another channel.
