    I'm mixing and I realize there is potential to easily turn the DB4 into a rotary mixer with a small firmware update. All they would have to do is swap the D/W knob and the volume fader on each channel so the linear fader becomes D/W and the big chunky knob (which by the way is the same knob used on the 92R and Xone: S2) becomes volume.

    Seems pretty simple and it is laid out perfectly so that you could actually have a rotary mixer with a firmware update, that is absolutely huge. You could switch between rotary mixer and linear mixer with a press of a button! I'm going to go talk to A&H about this, they must have thought of it...?
    Email A&H. Might happen.

    I guess itll fluctuate for a while but i cant see it dropping below 2000 anytime soon..

    Anybody know when the xone92 came out what the street price was and what year it was? Whats the lowest u can grab one of those for now? 1400? That would probably be the best indicator of what to expect long term on these bad boys.
    A friend of mine, who works at our country's distributor told me about the price hike before I bought the mixer. He only knew about the hike becuase of oil & gas going up. It cost them more to recieve the units and to ship them out to retailers.

    just a question to any of you d-bags that have this thing....how are you liking the EQs?

    do you find yourself preferring the ISO or filter mode?

    I switch between EQ and ISO mode, I haven't really messed with the filter mode yet since it's very non traditional and I don't quite have the hang of it.

    Rotary update: A&H responded and said they forwarded the idea to the dev team so who knows, it would be cool. If it sounds like something you're interested in you should send a ticket to a&h support as well so they see there is more interest.

    What's the advantage of EQ over isolators?

    I know the difference but I was asking what the advantage is, I mean you could just turn the isolators down half way and get exactly the same effect as an EQ.

    True but with the ISOs it is very sensitive and turning a little bit does a lot, EQs are much more suited for quicker mixing and are more forgiving. If I am doing bassline swaps or cutting something out for a bar I would rather just yank it all the way to the left instead of having to position it at 9:00 or something. ISO feels very different and you need to pay closer attention and is more for precision EQ surgery.
