The DB:4 is OUT

[Ed Paris]

You really can't compare. I have a 402 and compared to my friend's Xone:32, it is atrocious.

I'm disappointed that A&H thought they needed to move away from analogue. Their mixers have always sounded beautiful.

i didn´t wanted to compare my 402 with any other mixer....was just saying that you don´t need to spend thousands of dollarz for a mixer which will stay at home when ur heading to the club while you still have to carry an external audio intface

It DOES look like the DDM400

That's what my brain said as I saw it for the first time.

I kinda like it.....but have not checked it specs.

Is a bit full tho innit?

That thought came to my mind pretty quick as well.

The real thing I'm curious about (and pretty sure will be missing) is whether it'll have dual USB interfaces like the Rane Sixty Eight?

Otherwise you'll still need to rock up with your soundcard because the one in the mixer will probably be in use by the guy on before you...

(unless you use a CD in between, but then surely that negates half the convenience of it being built-in in the first place?)

Yup a 62 with a 4 chan serato box inside with a few extra midi controls would have been win!

Agrees, would have been the only real option, if you'd asked me.

VIDEO from BPM2010

Doesn't really show too much but you can hear a couple of the EFX.

[GrimFandango]

you know...that looks better than it does in pictures. like a SHITton better. maybe its the pink hue lighting or maybe its the same as with when i saw a pic of the Rane 68 and thought "my god that is the ugliest piece of shit ever"

[Karlos Santos]

It looks 1000 times better in real life. It actually looks really f*cking good.
Serious piece of hardware.

Individual FX engine on each channel. Each channel has dedicated BPM which (i didnt understand this bit) can be synced to other channels even if the bpm is different?

Obviously midi syncs to Traktor.

Each Effect has 10 submenu FX that have tons of parameters.

EQs have 3 modes and function as Hi/mid/lo pass filters.

I had a chat with Mixarkitecht who is the Traktor DJ in the video above and his description was totally amazing. If you use FX a LOT this is an amazing mixer.

This is an amazing mixer.

£2000 though.

FM that's $3166 US dollars!!!

[Karlos Santos]

Yup i think it will come in at just under £2000 street-price.

I remember the Zero4 was £1400 when it came out (which is why i waited for it to halve in price).
The DB4 is so much more of a mixer than the Zero (not Scratch Certified that i know of though) and it is worth the extra for what it does but, as Rainer pointed out rather well its hard to know where it fits in the world of the Digital DJ when the software can do most of the same features.
