Those are fucking awesome!

It's def. different than playing on a regular EQ mixer. With this you get a sharper sound with each channel and you control the gain/pitch a little different, i thought it was easier cuz the bassline was so clear, sometimes i felt i didn't even need to use my headphones.

Yeah I've pretty much convinced myself that I need a rotary mixer. EQs are optional as I won't really need them if I have a real rotary mixer.

It sounds fucking amazing, brings an astounding warmth and clarity to the music... it also feels bloody well made, the components are absolute quality. You've gotta play on one to understand I think.

Good one Packer.

Yes, the quality is undeniable. The thing is wether or not your a conformist and would give up on your EQ tricks and effects.


Posted by Rememberence_ on Oct-11-2006 01:51:

Although the MP2016 is often coupled with the XP2016 extension which houses 3 band EQs for each of the 6 channels and an assignable crossfader. I guess you could make smooth mixes without EQs but I'd much prefer to have them myself. All hail teh 2016.

furreal, if you've convinced yourself on a rotary mixer, go with the rane.

Well, if I did, I would most likely get the extension. I have only been at this for little over a year now and have yet much to learn (your best 'use the force', yoda comment, or anything related to starwars here). I think for the time being I will look into something that has the fader already built into the main unit. Although, I did go out to the Rane site and looked at some commentary on other forums. There is quite a nice following.

OMG don't show me things like that Lance! It makes me soil myself.

Let us also not forget that Steve is nowhere near refined enough to use a rotary mixer. T'would be a bit akin to G.W. mixing deep/prog/minimal/tech/sprinkle of electro house on a rotary mixer.

ehhh?

Steve Dash is the founder and brains behind Phazon Audio and former co-owner of Twilo... sound engineer at Paradise Garage. He is not a DJ. He is, in fact, a former electrical/NASA engineer who designed and intalled the 1st Phazon rig at Twilo in NYC in 1996. He reconfigures and rebuilds Urei mixers with gold connections and highly conductive insulated wiring that does not bleed energy. Currently, Phazon designes their own mixers, and Dash has rebuilt a few Rane rotaries. But, the Urei remains the best.

Dash is the man who revolutionized how clubs sound... he puts you in the studio with the producer it is clear.

Basically, you can buy a custom built Phazon Audio mixer for $10-$12K... I'm just sayin'

Not Steve Dash. A Phazon mixer is a little over the top.

It is what it is... A mixer is a mixer. You give it the use you desire, a rotary mixer works well with any genre of electronic music...
