The DB4 arrived tonight, I've been playing with it a couple hours so far. I'll definitely give Mixxx a spin and see how it goes. I run OSX so will see how easy it is to route to Ableton as well; this could be a very interesting solution to the Traktor timecode problem.Quote:

OK I installed and tried out the DB4; timecode is not working, at least I can't figure it out yet. I think I got the routing all right, and the timecode sends some kind of signal in, but it doesn't affect the playing track at all, and the timecode ellipse is just a red blotchy blur. It gets closer to an ellipse if I set the mixer input to audio (instead of USB) but it's still not an ellipse, it doesn't affect the playing track, and all I can hear in the speakers of course is the timecode whine. Only played around for a few minutes so maybe I'm missing something; will have to troubleshoot a while to see if I can get it to work.
giving it a shot
okay... tried it... back to traktor now. I mis muh chunkay waves
THOUGH MIXXX exceeds Traktor by a long shot with recording.
Might give this one a try with the S4. :)
How is MIXXX support for twitch?
I always thought MIXXX was really cool for an open source project.
...And I'm canceling all of my plans tonight. My laptop runs ubuntu 10.10 and I have Mixxx running on it already, I've been waiting for this version to be released :)
Might have to give this a shot since I'm sure I'll be itching to use timecode with my inferior non scratch certified mixer ;)
Also I like the overlapping waveforms a lot especially for timecode, much better than a phase meter in traktor. That's one thing I always preferred about SSL.
im downloading it now, ive got a few hours to play with it and if it all goes well, might even give a bash live at some point over the weekend
