Xone: DB2 Thread

No, if you wish to play different songs from one CDJ then you have to use the looper otherwise this ain't possible.

How are the simplified filters on the FX channels? Seems the DB2 doesn't have the full HP/BP/LP w/ resonance filter at all, does the FX channel filter with the single high/low knob provide a reasonable replacement? I know the EQ can be switched to filter mode, but that seems difficult to use as a replacement for assignable filters.

The normal filters sound great, they only lack con is the resonance but still they are great.

D@VE ~ the echo early on, it was 'post-fader' as you brought the dry/wet back?

Some really tight sounding effects from what I could hear....

yep, that is post fader, and it sound really tight indeed.

Just making sure I was sorting this all out correctly. That still is pretty bad ass, leave the loop out going on a track while you bring in another... or loop different part of track with previous loop and mix out.

[D@VE!]

Indeed; this is great !

I use it for instance for when mixing from A to B looping a part of A and letting that loop. put of A and use A to search/ cue the next track.

Right on. My thoughts exactly. Two CDJ's become more useful with a 4-deck mixer if no other software is used. This is my workflow and I am used to it. 4-decks comes into play even more so the second you map the CDJ's to some software of choice.

Even more exciting, if Jogs are not a necessity and your work with a mappable software, the DB2 can be your loan controller. The possibilities then become ridiculous with trax played via software.

Love your setup btw... sick! Nice thread in that forum.

[D@VE!]

indeed that's a great way of working.
i used it with Traktor the other day and yes the possibility's with just the mixer is awesome.

and Thanx !

@ D@VE
- Does the DB2 also come with a gig/carrying bag like the DB4? oh and can you do some unbox pictures or video?

[D@VE!]

Nope; it doesn't come with a bag.

Has anyone found a good deal on a pre-order that is state side? Preferably online.

So, how high is the standard Resonance on the X/Y-filters on the DB2? I know for one thing, that that awful Pioneer DJM-800 and 900 I was playing this weekend, have filters with maximum resonance, thereby when you use the HPF, the sound first comes in hotter (which you'll see on your VU-meter) if you know what I mean, it's really annoying.

So, does the DB2 has the Resonance on Maximum or is it just 50/50? Because that would be sweet...
