new 4 channel rane mixer :eek:
more details on the website so i guess 4 decks are coming to serato?? :cool:
MSRP is around $3200 <<< god damn from the serato forums... I'll just sell my arm and half a leg
Think theres a post down alittle about this as well, definitely a good thing for serato users - also I prefer large sturdy faders, I've had way too many knobs and sliders break off on me because they were flimsy. Also the que point additions on the sides look really useful, I still want a xone4d if only it wasn't so much $$
More details...Quote:

LOL, Serato is just all over the place.
I like how many times they say " the bridge "
$3,200?...I mean dont get me wrong, it's bad ass, but christ lol. Im guessing store price will be around the $2,500 mark or so. Which still puts it in the league of a DJM-1000 or Xone V6/4D. It's logical I guess, since its aimed at a club installation setting. I'm not so sure how many places will adopt this though over the standard DJM-800 or Xone 92.
No dude you were right with your initial gasp at the price.
Dont nobody tell me that that mixer is worth $3,200. How can it be.
It might the the dogs dangly bits but jees. First the stoopid Pioneer CDJ2000 price and now this .
knuck knuck Hello Serato wakey wakey ... World Recession !!!
What can i say great looking mixer.. But rane are just catching up with the rest i mean 4 decks are already standard on traktor u can have ehm with vdj too. And i cant say this will become a standard club install.. But i must say rane equipment is top notch build quality..:)
Alright, a list of features which I deem worthy of $3,200:Quote:

I bet you can get three of the numark x7 mixers for the same price and featurewise there isnt much difference (aside the serato box)
the thing that i don't like bout the 4 decks is u gotta have a 68 mixer if not u cannot use the 4 deck feature WTF!! shit traktor u got the audio 8 and a 4 channel mixer and your done for less than 3000 god damn it... now I'm thinking bout it.. plus u gotta buy ableton to use that feature as well damn!! what the hell !! mo money .. hopefully I'm wrong and serato changes that they should have done 2 midi decks and 2 regular decks and u can change through them but thinking bout the sl3 u can only use 3 the sl 1 2 if I'm correct with what i read......
woah, hold up.. are you saying that you can't just use the 4 deck feature with something like the audio 8? you have to have that mixer?!Quote:

i dont think its catching up so much as broadening horizons. You have to understand with the TTM56/57, and the empath series even, Rane has been very directed toward scratch djs. nowadays with more and more creative styles and technologies more and more scratch guys want to be able to do 3/4 deck mixing but still have the elements of cutting involved but with extra channels, hardware effects, cue points etc. Rane just realizes that eventually one day even the hardcore scratch dj will desire more out of his/her mixer.Quote:

Maybe the limitation of hardware manufacturers pays off to them now by essentially having the monopoly and being able to set their own 2500-3200$ price tag for a 4 channel mixer (without which 4chan mixing is not possible)
NI and Serato are the same in this respect. Their software and hardware are totally proprietary when it comes to DVS.Quote:

Of course the big difference is that you can use Traktor Pro (non DVS) with any old soundcard and just hit buttons or use midi. You cannot do this with SSL.
Oh sorry, I was being retarded - I forgot that you could only use other soundcards with TP and not for the DVS.. my bad!Quote:

I usually consider Serato the Apple of the discussion, and NI the Microsoft.
I think Serato just wants to control their product and there is really nothing wrong with that. Keep in mind they had 14-bit MIDI controllers and much more advanced HID stuff before NI had it hooked to Traktor, and NI still doesn't have adequate 14-bit support... though there really aren't any controllers that do either.
However, Traktor has a more user friendly system, that while it can cause more problems, and you have to worry about compatibility a bit more, it can be used by more people for more things (in my opinion).
Though, it would be nice if Serato just offered lower tier soundcards and smaller MIDI controllers for people who don't want to blow their savings on a VCI-300 or one of those Rane mixers. :)
It's always pained me that this was the case. The VCI-300 is dead on with general "feel", but I hate using Itch (at least the current version of it).Quote:

The new Rane mixer is not aimed at the user base. Its a club mixer.
Agreed.Quote:

serato basically built up all this hype, opened our imaginations to what it could be (which was a company mistake underestimating there users imagination), showed some pretty sick new features (not new to the dj world *cough*traktor*cough*), then put in the fine print it's going to cost you a few grand..
for that price that thing better print money!
platinium knobs would be fancy, and with svarovisky cristals LED feedback :D
Man i never tought consider things like that, it's a really nice comparision. Thinking like that would make us change to Serato on a near future right? Aren't you all using Mac instead of Windows right know?Quote:

This would allow seamless change over between serato/traktor/VDJ etc and is totally possible today (cept maybefor the getting Serato onboard part)"

So they were reading it, and they took a good idea and ran with it in their proprietty way
