Two X1's on the way - Now what mixer??

[PartyMcFly]

the hells this guy gunna do with an elcer mixer?

Be very happy with it, I reckon.

Going with the A&H will free up a filter knob on your x-1s. It's been said a billion times but the built-in filters are criminally good on those things.

Older Ecler Nuo mixers are among the best values you can find in audio. If you don't mind missing out on the envy-inducing pride that comes with ownership of an A&H, and won't miss that extra filter knob on your x-1s, any mixer in the Nuo line will keep the buyer's regret away. They're pretty serious pieces of equipment.

Hell yes. Ecler mixers are my first choice. Followed by Rane, and A&H

I thought about all midi, but, read up the sound quality and control is more accurate with an external mixer. Something has to lead Richi Hawtin, Carl Cox, etc. to use and external mixer vs. an all midi set up.

there is a good blog entry on external vs internal as well as some long threads with plenty of info on the pros and cons of both, which is important to remember, as there is bias, and misunderstanding (ie, that the famous dj ___ uses external mixer cause of all the cash they have they laying around)

[LoveBass]

that something is both tradition, and having huge wads of cash lieing around.

Analog mixers can help *make* your sound. if you had 30 djs in traktor internally spinning the same set (down to the knob twist), you wouldnt have as much variation as you would if you had those 30 djs on 30 different analog mixers.

They stay analog because there are loads of awesomely good sounding analog devices. Some people say the filters on the xone mixers are worth the money themselves. There are also tons of analog effects that people really love.

Now, the effects in traktor are really good, I'm not shooting down those, I freaking love em.

NOt to mention the famous guys don't setup or takedown their own setups. you have to.

And I'll fight the next person who shit talks ecler. They make some of the best products, compare the xone 92 to the evo 5 and youll see what I'm saying

[Abyrne7]

Hell, I would rather have a vci 100 and traktor for dedicated fx control than like, an EFX 800 or something like that.

Even if I'm not mixing on it, I'm sure I could tweak the djtt mapping into a beast fx control mapping. Granted you have 2 x1s...

My thoughts exactly. Going to mix externally and pretty much keep fader FX mostly on all the time.

elcers r my fav. mixer. i just dont see a battle mixer series being as useful for a midi setup you know?

[LoveBass]

ecler doesnt only havebattle mixers, some of you have to google, and look up the evo 4 and evo 5

[Phormula1.8T]

nah ur right the 4 and 5 are great 4 channel club mixers but still with the scratch dj in mind. there are better mixers for purpose in the same price range that apply more to mix oriented style
