doesn't mean it's a bad mixer.
The I/O is just astounding, imo. I have (2) CDJs, (2) Techs, (1) K2 controlling Ableton/Traktor
which are running via the on-board soundcard. I just purchased a Teil1 Keinedelay to run through
the send/return. I also ordered a Bozure Isolator that will run through the Insert channel. While I'm
not particularly fond of the on-board Delay EFX (a little too metallic for my taste), I am absolutely in love
w' the on-board Reverb EFX. Hence, the reason I bought the Teil1 Keinedelay. There's also the luxury of
playing the on-board EFX at the same time as the external EFX, if you so wished. I also LOVE the fact that
I can use the crossfader as a wet/dry pot for the EFX. Having that soundcard built in just makes connecting
everything so much easier/cleaner! Occasionally, I hook up my Korg Minilogue and use the PX5's MIDI Clock
to keep everything on time. Other notables are the clarity of the level meters, the EQ resolution is super clean,
and the button/knob placement is clean....doesn't feel crowded to me.
Don't listen to the naysayers, this is a DOPE mixer! That said, I would prefer a hybrid
of the 92 & PX5, but w' (2) on-board soundcards like Pioneer & Rane have. That would
be one helluva' mixer! So long as it sounded more like the PX5, not the 92. The PX5's
sound quality is just so much warmer....especially with vinyl!
Come on, A&H, give us the mixer to rule them all.
