so i bought a Xone 92 online. the website called me today and said that the fader model was back ordered but they have a roteray in stock. they said they'll give it to me for the same price. any suggestions on what i should do? i have never mixed on a roteray b4. ill more than likely wait for the fader version but that might be over a month b4 they get one in. have any of you mixed on the roteray? do you like it?

i know it all comes down to personal preference in the end, but i'm just looking for your input.

It all depends on what you mix and how I'd say. For long smooth mixes (prog. house for example) rotaries are is much nicer than faders, but for quick cuts and whatnot faders are much better (hip hop for example).

I got the rotary version and I love it, wouldn't change it for anything, didn't even think about ordering the fader version. And if I need to do some cutting, I can do it with the crossfader as I can assign any channel to it anyway.

Personally. If you went to buy the linear. I'd wait.

I only say this because that's one expensive mixer you're about to buy. I wouldn't after trying to buy the linear, settle for the rotary. Especially seeing as you haven't tried one before.

My call is be patient and wait for the linear version. It is in the end of the day what you initially decided on buying.

You could always go to a store that has them both and see if they let you try them out.

As stated earlier, get what you want. It all comes down to preference.

I bought the rotary because I love the feel and control for nice smooth mixes, and can go
to the crossfader if I need quick cuts.

Get the rotary, if you don't like it, sell it and you'll have enough money to buy the linear still.

That's what I'd be worried about.

Progress that's a 100-150$ try out. Pretty expensive if you ask me.

^^^ they gave me the rotary for the same price. i went for it. i have been back and for picking up a rotary mixer any way. i am mostly sure considering the way i mix i can do just as well on ether mixer. i even pretended my current mixer was a rotary and started using the x fader in different ways to make up for slower speed of a rotary nob and i get the same results as my normal way of mixing. thanks for your inputs. ill let u guys know if it was a huge mistake
