I think I finally cured my RGAS (rapid gear acuisition syndrome)…

Buying audio gear is like dating women.

-Sometimes you date women that are really beautiful, but they are stupid, expensive and high maintenance…(Pioneer)

-Sometimes you date women that are cheap and have all the qualities you desire, but not a real looker (Gemini, Behringer)

-Sometimes you date a women, but you have no idea why… (48 channel studio mixer… :thumbsdown:slight_smile:

and then… you stumble on that perfect woman, she is not high maintenance, looks great AND has all the qualities you are looking for AND MORE!!

Meet my newest girl, the… KORG ZERO 8!!! I got it for a steal!

-8 channel DJ mixer

-Countless different inputs including, Phono, CD, Guitar and anything else you might need.

-not 1 but…2 send and returns

-A killer internal EFX processing unit. (in addition to the 2 send and returns)

-Totally adjustable eqs and custom filters.

-A full layer of midi on top of all External mixer controls.

-8 channel in/out Fire wire sound card

-2 48v condenser mic inputs.

-Fully routable signal path.

-Oh yeah its also fully Traktor Scratch Certified.

-so much more

I think this might be my last mixer i ever buy.

So get ready for a huge sale post soon, with tons of gear I thought I needed but never used.

I can officially say you will love her I don’t regret buying mine I love it best investment I’ve made at a crazy low price as I got mine for £230 in mint condition still in box with manual, but that probably comes second to my recent steal on an x1 and case for £56 posted

3

oh snap you beat me for the lowest price, but for the mint condition its in, I am pretty happy. Im sure I will have to fix the touchscreen soon though.

Have you had any problems with your touchscreen?

4

Can’t say I’ve noticed any problem with the touchscreen as of yet the only issue I dislike is it gets mega hot fairly quickly and the vu meters don’t really function but I knew of these issues before I went after the mixer as both are well documented online

5

hmmm ok.

The line VU’s or the Master Vu’s???

6

Master vu the line vu are perfect it’s the two master analogue vu’s barely move unless you run the channels at full volume and almost full gain with the master up full, I personally run mine around 1 o’clock on both gain and master volume and just don’t worry about the master vu

7

lol ok guess they’re just there for show

8

Me thinks you’ll be in the market for a new mixer in the near future.

9

Tight man, I really do want a Zero 4 :notes:

Enjoy it dude, I’ll be on the look out for your sale lol.

10

have you had experience with the zero 8?

11

I always liked the look and features of the Zero8
Hope you got a good un and it doesn’t buzz m8

12

i hope so too. im not planning on making it my gig mixer (that is left to my a-h xone), just something to use in the studio for my radio shows. and for light production.

13

No. I’m just messing with you. I have no idea what you would do with 8 channels though.

14

lol, ok i accept your challenge. Its time for a 8 deck mix. once it comes by way of fed ex first haha

15

It would be great for a club. You could have the booth permanently set up so every dj doesn’t have to unplug everything when they switch over.

16

The Z8 is a lovely bit of kit, but to me it’s never felt like a DJ mixer - it feels like a production desk.

The side-by-side configuration of EQ and FX knobs gets in the way of fast adjustments which is what has always put me off it; apart from that, however, it’s a fantastic unit.

17

@031999, just curious as to how you plan on using the mixer? For production? For dj’ing? What other equipment will you be using to compliment the mixer?

I’ve heard some good things about the mixer, and it has always peaked me interest. Enjoy it!

Cheers

18

Does it have channel outs or busses? I don’t see how it would be beneficial or ideal to use as a production desk.

19

Guessing you’ve never seen the back panel eh? :stuck_out_tongue:

20

has it got two separate soundcards in it? there’s two firewire ports…
