That fading noise

Don't know if I'm describing it correctly (probably not) but how do DJs get that fading noise in their sets... the one where it sounds like a plane is flying by and the sound fades from left to right... almost as if in a circular motion.

Anyone know what I'm referring to???

Its called pan on most mixers and effects units.

There is an effect on the efx500 called "Jet" that sounds like that (if I read what you are describing correctly). Couple that with a panning effect and only do that either to the mids or do that to one record while another is playing and you prob. will get what you are describing.

ahh, yes the flange. It sounds amazing if at the right time. Most effects thingies and mixers have them...great to play with

Posted by Liam on Dec-10-2004 00:12:

yes the flanger... aka most played out effect of all time.

one thing beginning djs should keep in mind when using effects

less is more

the less you use the effects, the more of an impact they'll have when you use them

+1 to the Jet effect. One of the many reasons I want an EFX500.

is the efx500 the "standard" as far as effects machines go?

Posted by keithos27 on Dec-10-2004 06:24:

also, does the allen & heath xone 92 have any built-in effects?

I would say probably so, but I might be talking out of my ass. I do know that the EFX-1000 is due out in the next month or two so if you're considering tacking the 500 onto that very enviable list of equipment you posted you might want to wait on it.

Posted by tu_face on Dec-10-2004 10:35:

yeah its about the standard, if you can call use of effects standard, although when you hear effects, its often a djm600 mixer

the xone92 has 2 (fucking good) filters, but no other fx.

Cheers guys!

Will the EFX 1000 be priced around the same, or will it be much more expensive? I'm running pretty much at budget with the list of equipment I'm getting... don't want to KEEP waiting to get my stuff just to save more money.

Get everything but the efx box. It will prob. be priced higher and the 500's will prob drop in price. (just a guess - if you want to know the answer to this, you should know who to contact by now).

Posted by nrjizer on Dec-10-2004 16:06:

The EFX-1000 will cost about $1000.

Right now I can find an EFX-500 for $375 and I imagine that price will drop a lot once the 1000 comes out. The 1000 is basically a beefed up 500 with better sound quality (which isn't going to make that much difference at home).
