What EQ setting are you using?
Which one are you guys using.
I’ve found the S4 sounds very warm and deep when I play at home on M-Audio BX8A’s. In comparison my NS7 sounds a little punch but much clearer. I’ve been using the P600 and with my high’s turn up just a tad it sounds great. Nice and crisp and also deep and low.
Anyone else?
What up homeboy…I am using the NUO setting. Sounds nice and warm over here.
homeboy auheuahuhea
nuo over here.. all the way
Still deciding on monitors (leaning to KRK’s) but I have found myself having to lower both treble and bass on my home system (Yamaha VRX557) and through Bose QC15’s. tma-1’s sound full and crisp. 2 bar gigs and 1 private party had me using less bass & treble as well. Finding recordings also need a bit of tweaking to reduce ‘harshness’.
^ yeah on my monitors at home…the soundcard produces a very deep bass sound regardless of what EQ I use. Gotta play around with it a little more and see what I like best.
I use NUO.
ok…why are you guys using NUO. What did you like about that one vs. the others?
The name sounds futuristic and funky 
I dno, I listened to them and I like this one best.
Another NUO user here, although I’m toying with the idea of using the 4 band Xone and mapping the filter to the low end. I play stuff with lots of vocals and I like the way the NUO treats its mids, seems to me the boost and cut is very clean.
I use nuo because it sounds the warmest and I can use my 3 eq knobs. If there was a 3 band xone version I’d probably try that for a bit.
Did you see the post of the dude that mapped the 4 band to three knobs. Might try that and see how it sounds.
Good idea…I’ll give it a stab also.
Got a link to that particular post. Thats exactly what I want to do with the S4.
Thanks .
I use classic. To my knowledge it’s the only one with a full kill. Essential for making kids jump up and down when they recognize the bass line for the next song.
I used classic for that same reason but it became too sharp in TPS4 (or at least to me) so I switched to NUO. If I just need to kill the lows I go for the filter.
Used NUO for a while, then went back to classic - missed the ‘sharpness’, but some recordings are sounding a bit harsh. Going to give yours a try Padi.
Hey Padi - Gigged with NUO last night (‘Bird’ rocked man!). I’m a convert.
On the Djm800 when we use the filter, the volume stays the same.. When using on the S4, the lpf when u spin it, the volume really got low… and the hpf really got high.. The volume issues really affects the mixing
Is there any way of solving this?
Nope. The knob on the DJM-800 is the “Color” knob, and while it sounds similar to a filter, it actually doesn’t cut frequencies like a filter does. It’s like “color” in a subtractive synthesizer, instead of killing certain frequencies, it simply lessens their power, either by boosting other frequencies like compression does, or by only reducing frequencies.
You could manually avoid this problem by keeping your volume faders between 1/2 and 3/4 up when the track is playing and boosting the main out, and when you need to filter a sound, you just bump up the volume. That’s pretty much it. You can also use a delay to maintain some of the original volume for as long as the delay lasts.
