Haha way ahead of you dude. A couple of weeks ago I had a CD of 1950s East German communist music that I was studying for a university module and I had a lot of fun with FX and loopers.Quote:

Then again, we might be thinking of different things by "basic" there.
I guess I just see it the opposite of mrpopinjay. I'd use it with TTs/CDJs long before I'd think about it for Live.
I meant more specifically if you're carrying it from club to club- I certainly wouldn't want to either unhook the club mixer and replace it with the DB4 or have to DJ with a mixer that was no where near the turntables themselves. Replacing the club mixer with your own doesn't seem feasible.
Move the CDJs a bit further apart and stick your db4 down next to the club mixer, run line from master on db 4 into a channel on
/win
Always possible but yeah that's probably the best idea assuming you have enough space. You could use the EQ on the club mixer as an isolator- bonus! :)
I have got Maschine and wonder how you go about hooking it up the dB4 do I need to have a audio interface for putting into the mic channel or best to use one of the channel using the matrix input.
You could just use the DB4's internal sound card as the output device for maschine or whichever DAW you're using it in.
check out the DB4 forum page, whilst its far from flourishing, there are some posts directly related to your question.Quote:

Just to clarify, I think TDSDJ means the DB4 page of the Xone forums.Quote:
