NI, why this? What does this mean? (Z4 speculation)

[Rukks]

I can't believe they are selling at that price...with a guitar center code can I get another 15% off? I mean I wasn't really in the market but that is just absurd...$510 for something with that much utility...might have to pull out of the savings for it.

I can justify taking a hit and selling my S4 for like $400 or $450 with the price that low.

Me too...

I'm torn between a Z2, DJM850, DJM900 and a DB2. DB2 is pretty sexy for the price and I want a nice new mixer as the DJM250 was only ever a stop gap. But i sort of fancy a controller i can use as a vinyl mixer too so the new pioneer R1 is looking a little tempting...

This new price drop on the Z2 is defo a spanner in the works

RGAS argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I say go BIG or RGAS is just gonna rear its ugly head again.

I drooled over the DB4 for 3 months straight before purchasing it. I figured (or tricked myself into thinking) that if I bought something other then the DB4 I'd be taking a loss every time I sell the mixer I purchased to sooth the RGAS. Then eventually end up with the DB4 in the end.

I haven't had a hint of RGAS since then... at least not for a mixer anyways...

Edit: On-topic - I think NI is gonna drop some type of new kit, question is what though.

needs moar channels. still not buying one.

I'd love to see a 4 ch NI mixer. How do you think they'd do it? 4 track decks? 2 track decks and2 remix decks? 4 fully switchable channels? How many cue/hot cue buttons?

[padi_04]

I don't think 2+2 is their next move (that is what the z2 is after all). I wouldn't be surprised if they updated the X1 with color leds (useful to indicate cue type). It's not that it NEEDS it, just a cool and relatively simple addition.

Regarding a Z4 or whatever it's called, 4 fully switchable decks takes my vote.

PS: would love to see NI switch to nutted knobs.

If I was in the market, I'd call ZZsounds, get them to price match and put it on the payment plan.

[willisnz]

true. first they made a "bad" purchase, then they get raped with this price drop.

Lots of people are very happy with their Z2 and as such would not consider it a bad purchase. Not everyone needs a 4 (or even a 2+2) channel mixer.

When you buy any new product you know that at some point the price will come down. Perhaps not this soon. You have a choice to buy it when it comes out or wait in the knowledge that at some point it will be cheaper.

This is not some unique NI business model.

There's a used one on EBay for $500 with 31 bids. LOL

I think that's why he put bad in quotes. To imply that it's bad for the person selling it.

I hear what you're saying though... Honestly I'd take a db2 over a db4 anyway... I prefer the simplicity.

Soz got OT

NI gonna bring out an update to S4. I'd love hid platter separates personally
