What to buy?

Ok so I got everything I needed for Christmas, now I'm going to get a mixer and I kind of know what I want. It's either the Xone:92 or Xone:62. Here is the thing, money is not the big of a concern. It's just that I don't want to waste it. For example there is a rebate on the Xone:62, which make it a better buy. But is there a lot more advantage to getting the Xone:92? So what I'm saying is that is it worth paying the extra $ for the Xone:92. I only play trance and prog. if that is any concern. And I don't really know how to use the special effects on the Xone92 mixer.
Thanks for your help |

| I'm not familiar with the price difference, but do you really need all those channels? how about saving that money (specially because it's a new mixer which always comes with a high price) and buy a separate effects unit like the Kaoss Pad 2 or the Pioneer EFX-500 (or whatever it is called?) and more vinyl? that's what I'd do anyways :) |

| I was in the same predicament as you were a month ago. I decided to buy the Xone:62 (cost me $800) because they are practically the same mixer, except the :92 has a few extra things that you really dont need unless your gonna be using it at clubs. Save the $700-800 that you would use to buy the :92 and get other stuff - vinyl maybe? |

I agree. Also you might consider even though A & H makes top notch quality products, it may have bugs, who knows. Let it be thoroughly tested for a few months. It's a lot of money.

The only real difference with the effects is that you can assign the VCF filter differently but I'm not so sure it's needed.
Honestly speaking I actually find that effects units are a waste of money and often don't provide a high enough quality unless you get some of the more expensive ones.
I have a Kaos pad and the effects are often too similar to each other and the sampler is absolute bollocks! I think the Kaos pad 2 sorted out the level problems but not sure.
My friend uses a guitar effects rack and the result is far more interesting than any of those units could ever be (not suggesting you try it but it's a thought...)
My verdict would be to get the Xone 62 but only because I don't think the difference in price is justified compared to what you get for it. One the other hand, you just can't go wrong with an A & H mixer.

EDIT - Ah yes Benito... more vinyl. We like your style ;) |

| Great, I think that I will go with Xzone:62 and save a few $, the only thing that I really like about Xone:92 is the led's. Is $1500 CAD to much for it? is there a better price for it? |

That is roughly 1167.00US, i paid $924.00US (1,188CAD)from RiksMusic. Oh ya, there is a $200.00 rebate as well. Nice deal!

Does RiksMusic have the $200 rebate? Because its not a manufacturer rebate, its a store rebate that A&H hand selects to allow to give out. |

| unless you dj like richie hawtin, using two computers and final scratch and external effects units i would save the cash you have and buy a 62, altho with the 92 you have more bragging rights.:D |
