Still searching for information on this. I am leaning towards the rotary version. Has anyone tried both or even just the rotary?
what are the pros/cons of each? Or is it just personal preference? |

i owned both.............its really personal preference....if u like knobs get knobs....if u like slides get slides!!
only i would have liked more resistnace on the slides on the linear version |

| I own the Rotary version and am absolutely in love with the thing. I tested the linear one, and like Trinity said, there wasn't as much resistance as I would have liked...they had a pretty loose feel to them. In terms of the price, I got mine for $1699 before tax, which is the same as the linear. |

OMG. I love the 92. Much better than the 62 in every aspect.
I bought the linear last night and I will be returning it today for the rotary. Rotary will fit my mixing style very VERY nicely. |

whether its a Xone92 or a radioshack mixer (although i dont think these come in rotary :p), it'll depend on how you mix. rotary is a no-no for techno, or any style in which you like to make quick cuts. no-no for turntablism, for the most part.
but if you're looking for smoothness, that's where it's at. |

| yeah anything that involves long smooth mixing, rotary mixers are great for, for example, house, prog, and some types of trance. you are ed the moment you play a remotely hard record though :toothless |

Can't you just use the cross fader for that? |

during some mixes when i am using normal linear faders i wish i was using a rotary to get super smooth transitions.
...but then my next mix may be a cut, and i am glad i dont have one.
it would be nice to have both on one mixer, and just toggle between the two depending on how i feel :p |
