Ecler Nuo4 Review.

Update: I’m having a slight issue with one of the front toggle switches where I very infrequently have to actually toggle the “reverse” or “fade” switch, otherwise only half volume comes from 2 of the channels.

This might actually be due to the way I transport it (toggles could be getting bumped) since it rarely happens.

Nothing else to report! Still an awesome mixer.

do you have your nuo4 mapped to anything in traktor?
wanna start to map my ecler since I have switched back from the controller to tables again.

ever since i bought my Korg MicroKontrol I rarely use my Ecler for MIDI..
I did have browsing, filters, Cue jumping, scrubbing, and some fx set up at one point though.
If you have Traktor 2 and also use 2 decks, you can set up the center strip for Loop Recorder functions and keep 2 MIDI channels (one for each deck) for independent deck functions or something

@DJ Asand, is there anyway I could get that mapping for the Ecler? Ive been using it with VDJ & Serato for video. Its a great mixer, but Im new to Traktor and I wanna give it try and your mapping sounds just what I’m looking for.

Thanks for the time

I dont have the mapping anymore.. I started to update my mapping but I deleted it all and was re-doing it from memory lol

The Traktor 2 mapping was just a suggestion as I dont have Traktor Pro 2 at the moment.

I’ll help you all out by posting a mapping soon though

That’s cool, can’t wait to try it out. In the meantime I think I’m getting this mapping down, lol! I’ve managed to map Numark DJ2GO to control 4 decks with effects, lol!

Thanks for the time

i too am looking for TSI file so if you have one post it up.
good to see other ecler owners using traktor.
I dont have TP2 - I have TSD1.

So, I’m at about the 5 month mark of owning this mixer and I’m still extremely happy with it. I baby my equipment so I couldn’t really attest to its ability to withstand abuse.. but I will tell you that all the pots and faders are still buttery smooth.

Although the Mid EQ knob takes up a pretty good chunk of the frequency band (sometimes leaving just this highest cymbals/synths and just the funkiest/deeper parts of basslines), I’ve found that I really like this mixing style.

I’ve learned that its almost as if I’m filter mixing, bc I’ve found that my favorite way to bring in a track is to turn down the EQs, bring up the volume fader, bring in the High EQ to 9 o’ clock, then as I bring in the MID EQ I get a sweeping sound to everything.

I did that entirely throughout this mix:

If someone wants a sound demo of the EQs I can upload some stuff too.

Any word on that mapping :wink:

Picked up a Nuo 2.0 for cheap. Can’t wait to give it a try. I have been waiting to try Ecler for a looooong time!

actually yea haha I’ll be posting it soon. its gnna be a 3 deck mapping though

Welcome to the Ecler club! I think you’re really gonna like it.

Me too! Me too!

Awesome review by the way. After a break of almost 6 yrs I am back trying to make my Nuo 4 to work with Traktor as a midi controller with little luck so far. I have the impression that the Traktor version I use now (Duo) does not communicate well with the mixer. If anyone can point me to a good guide that would be great.
