What about the Evo4? It's more of a 'traditional' mixer layout, well, at least form-factor (12"), and has 4 channels and two effects channels. I think it also has 4 dedicated MIDI rotaries, as well as being able to switch the channels to MIDI control.

I think it will be released in June if you can wait until then.

yes but from the looks of it on djdeals it is going to be pretty much the same price as the 5 and it doesn't have a firewire port? go xone 92 then for sure

there are a few EVO5 owners here, if ya wanna do a search. I have one too...any specific questions? What are you looking to do with it exactly?

mostly for sound quality and to control traktor scratch. i have a xone 92 and am wondering if it is the same build quality and sound qual. also are the controls on that screen pretty easy to use when playing or do you find yourself scrolling through menus? what do you think overall. i did a search and it didn't give me very much

i don't think i have ever seen an ecler mixer in a club or anywhere so i really need your advise
on it. i checked out a korg and its no xone but the ecler could be diff

Well, I've been using mine for about 6 months now. I use Traktor Scratch with it, and so far, I havent come across a single flaw. Since I am the distributor for ECLER in North America, I always have to bring my EVO to trade shows, demonstrations etc. and I always use TS with it. For instance, at the NAMM show, I had the EVO running ALL DAY, 10am-6pm, non stop for 4 days straight, and not a single glitch or audio dropout! The response time is very accurate, if youre going to scratch. Also, you can use all 4 decks in Traktor and timecode. Pretty neat!

If youre just using traktor, then all the controls around the screen are enough to scroll thru your tracks, load em up and use Traktor effects. You can set it up any way you want, and keep your "favorite" layouts around the screen (you can keep 6 favorite layouts around the screen, then press a button to load up to 64 layouts!), so its pretty easy to get around the screen.

As for sound quality, I will say its GREAT, but then again, I'm supposed to say that Seriously, check around these forums, or do a search online, and you'll see that others agree!

that 'could be' might make you regret the trade later

i think i might go for it? i seen some videos on you tube and read some reviews? looks great can't help but love the built in sound card and effects processing. everyone that has any of the ecler miixers lovin them or what?

I've heard only good things about em. I almost bought a Nuo 4 back in the day and they've only gotten better. The EVO 5 is top of the line and competes with anything else as far as I've read.

nonesense, I love my evo 5. sound quality trumps an a&h in my opinion. midi control rocks, just do a search cuz I did a brief review.
