-- I want to upgrade to Rotary.
Pages (2): « 1 [2]
rotary knobs equal control. control is good hence the reason why the rotary preferance. Doing long silky smooth transitions is a lot easier with a rotary mixer. I own the xone 92r and i have to say that i love it and wouldn't have gotten anything else.
club mixers
well, haven't tried a rotary myself, but i'd imagine how you can pull off the smoother mixes...
one other problem arises in the scenario that you loveee your rotary, but have to get used to playing on linear at clubs, since no clubs i know around here have rotary faders.
my 2 cents!
Re: club mixers
LOTS of clubs have Rane MP-2016's, old style rotaries. And many don't have any eq's!

Love my Xone92 and my Rane. both are sweet!
Ill be getting the empath rotary myself as I only need 3 channels at the most plus it will be easier to bring to gigs. It really just depends on what your needs are cuz as sweet as the 92 is, it might be too much if u need to bring it to gigs etc.

Well im not talking about being a mobile dj, some djs still bring their mixers to clubs at least for backup reasons.. Ive needed mine b4..
But if you think that its your size then there really isnt any other comparable mixer. Empath Rotary for 3 channels, Xone 92 for 4 channels (w bells&whistels), V6 for premium installation ($$), Rane MP for budget club setup.

from the clubs i have seen in the new england area, the primary mixer is the rane 2016. essentially, getting all these toys so you can be familiar with it at a club setting isn't wise, in my eyes, because a mixer is a mixer and so all of them have basic features. You never know which club will have what either. The only thing a dj should be aware of how to do is mix without puting the cue for both channels on at once. Meaning mixing with channel a one one headphone and channel b on the main speakers system.

| Originally posted by zizack lol, you definitely can't bring a mixer along with you to a club in NYC. Pampering yourself with the best mixer available is definitely nice....i did so myself. But it sucks walking into a bar / lounge / club all comfortable playing with a Xone and then having to adjust to something shitty in a live setting. |
didn't know where else to post this but a guy on the djforums is selling his Vestax PMC46 if anyone is looking for one.
"upgrade" to a rotory....
i'm not hugely experienced, but going rotory seems more like a downgrade....
lol....
just my Humble Opinion

| Originally posted by Vlad It all depends on what youre spinning, some genre's suite rotary better... others suite a linear better. Since I spin house, rotary is a better feel for me, you get much smoother transitions. |
Well sure you CAN do that, but it's just not as easy to do with linear faders. And you can accidently whack one and screw up your mix.
It's like saying "Well with a rotary you can cut by just turning the knob REALLY fast...". Sure you COULD, but it's not pleasurable.

| Originally posted by Abhay Yeah, this is probably gonna sound naive, because i've never used a rotory mixer before.... but like, can't u just get a mixer with a long crossfader, like a Xone, and just move the crossfader more slowly/more smoothly.... hell, just by using the levels, u can get any curve of mixing in/out that you want. I feel like it's a mentality that ppl have that because it's more expensive, it must be better. But then again, i don't know what i'm talking about, so i'll just STFU. |
