xone 92

What a great solid machine of a mixer
But after a while it is really starting to annoy me that on cue you can not listen to the filters.
Why????

or is there a way and i do not know it yet?

Totally pissed me off too.

No way of doing it.

After using the mixer for a little over a year I'm kinda used to the sound i expect from the filters so it doesn't annoy me as much as it used to.

Totally agree though that it is a pain in the ass!

the worst is when you fade up a track without realizing the filter is on....

oops killed the bass

That has happened more times than i'd like to admit.

I do sometimes find it handy though when the filter can't be heard over the headphones as i can still make sure my mix is tight while i start reducing the filter live..

yes may main in bringing it up.
This has been happening often to me lately....

Yeah it sux, but i still love my xone 32

The frequency control for the VCF should be on a crossfader like the 32 - visually, it's much easier to recall what the filter will sound like at any given point along the line. Guess they tried to implement it with the 42 by allowing you to assign the master cf to either cf or the filter, but switching back and forth would be a hassle, methinks.

Love the crossfade for the VCF on the 32 - so much better than rotary, especially when playing jacking Techno and House. The *only* thing I would change on the 32 would be to remove those stupid elongated studio fader knobs and replace them with some nice, flat rubber ones. Oh yeah, that, a sharper cut on the cf and an effects return. And I already mentioned in a couple of other threads about upgrading the stock cf to a P&G.

Then it would really kick butt.

Yeah those studio fader knobs are annoying

i dont get what u talk about studio fader knobs? only thing bad about the 32 is the location of gain imo.

the channel faders are studio like, not like the ones on the 92 ect

hmm werd, the faders on 32 is one of the many things i love about it, compared to my previous mixers, djm500/600 ecler nuo. havent tried the faders on 92 though.

Only problem i found on the 92 which really annoyed me and still kinda of does is the fact that the faders are so loose.

If the Mic faders on the 92 are anything to go by, i'm assuming the 32's are similar with a slight bit of resistance. Something i prefer compared to the loose ones on the 92.

rotary ftw!

is it possible iwth rotary on 32?

I actually hadn't tried cueing my filter until this thread popped up and now I'm kinda bummed

haha, either way I still luhmahxone

+1 on both ends here too, lol. oh well. i guess i didn't miss it because i never used it! lol

Yeah, despite some small things like that, best DJ mixer in the world imo.

We have a rotary 92 in the studio and it is the fucking tits.

And I actually like the knobs for the filter, you just have to pay attention, I solved the problem of accidentally having the filter up by turning them off once I am done with the channel (mixed out). This works better anyway since I use either high pass or low pass when mixing, which reverses which way the knob needs to be in order to let sound through.

Does the filters make transitioning smoother than say using just eq? I'm curious, since none of my boards have the filters. I know the concept of it, just wondering from the dj mixer point of view?

Can you here the filters if you cue up the main out?

Really depends on the kind of music you're playing. I rarely use it to transition from one track to the next, usually only with the high pass if I'm mixing out of a track with tons of highs into something that's more low and rumbly. Otherwise, it's a great toy - you can build some serious tension sweeping across the range and with the crossfader control on the 32 you can totally alter the texture of a track with some well-timed scratch-stylez cutting.

And palm:

this:



vs. this:



When I have a few bucks to spare I may actually get someone to shave down the metal the fader knob slots onto, just so I can fit a standard flat knob on it. The studio fader knobs are not conducive to quick cuts - I've played gigs where they've gone flying off when I'm punching the line and it's a total distraction/buzzkill.

still think it is the a great mixer for great sound and great mixing control with 4 band eq.

still love this over the djm800, i find the 800 good and really easy to play with. But i find it that when you master a xone 92 anything aside from it is piece of cake.

and yes rotary for the win!!! :-)

Yes, rotary. A big plus for me.
