I think it's really just dependent on whether or not you personally can "get" the hang of the EFX. I personally love the thing, but know just as many guys like you who think it's an absolute abomination. Personally, I think the EFX sound about a million times better than they do on the DJM500 (I rocked this mixer for 2 years before I got my Xone 62), and I'm confused as to how anyone thinks the EFX on a DJM 500 are easier to control or better sounding than this, but again, to each their own. I personally am already in love with this EFX unit, and I'm already considering buying a second one (So I can run CDJ --> EFX --> Mixer on each channel).

Do you like how you have to setup the EFX with the Xone:62? |
Right now I'm just running the EFX out of the Master out on the Xone 62, so I'm just effecting whatever is playing out of the master. I haven't tried to hook it up using the Auxillary out and running it back through a channel simply because I don't really understand how that's really supposed to work, but I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually. As far as using EFX in the mix itself, I usually will just either use the filters on the Xone, or the only other thing I've tried so far is using a delay or echo effect on the low band and trying to create my own builds in the mix. I'm by no means even CLOSE to great on this thing yet, but I'm loving it already, and just real excited to start working in EFX more and more in my live sets. |

Just a little random update: Xone filters + EFX 500 = Win...
I feel unbelievably reinvigorated about mixing right now... :happy2: |

Yeah, that's kinda how I was last week, but today.... :eyes: OMGZ0RZ!
BTW, you still gotta get back to me on that track from your latest mix... I'm pretty sure it's the one right after Baggage handlers - Vaportral (Chris Micali's You Win mix), that was pure sickness... |

You know, I never even thought of just effecting my master. The problem there is that I layer a capellas and stuff over my sets, so I dunno. |

The 92 does, but the 62 doesn't. It's the only downside to the 62. |

Glad to hear you had some more time with it... I just can't get enough of playing around with this thing...
And no, the 62 has no Send/Return, which is definitely a major bummer, but in the end, I guess I've basically already made up my mind to save up for one more and run 2 channels like this:
CDJ ---> EFX 500 (Maybe 1000 for the next one???) ---> Mixer
Just because I can already see areas where I'd like to rock 2 different effects on different bands over each track, if that even makes sense...
But yeah, in summation, getting this for Christmas this year already feels like it's opened up a bunch of new doors for my mixing... Jet/Wah + 3/4 Delay on the lows + HPF Filter can get you some insane energy in the middle of a mix... ;) |

dude you are compromising the fidelity of your system if you are running it through the efx. Plus you have it on even when you are not using it. Here's how I got it set up:
AUX OUT OR BOOTH OUT To efx in using 1/4 (from mixer) to 1/4 cables(efx)
and 1/4 (efx) to rca cable (mixer line in) on one of the 4 channels that are routed to the crossfader.
So you have your three cdj on three of the channels and your efx on the forth one
When you are ready to effect the sound pick the curve without the dip.
And assign your crossfader to x and have your crossfader all the way to the left so you
don't get a drop in volume
efx is at y
crossfade to y as fast as you like.
now the aux out or booth of you mixer is being fed to y.
This is cool because you can alternate between the original and th effected sound using the crossfader insted of the knob (you can still use the knob if you like)
The efx has an eq that kills completely certain freq/s
so you can get intresting rhythmic eq changes by crossfading to the sound with no
bass or with boosted tremble. (always tend to cut more than boost)
I do this a lot.
I am surprised the didn't include this feature at their updated version.
Hope this helps :) excuse my ty spelling.
congrats on your gear :)
tip : I dont hit the yellow I go at green (o db) on the channels so that there is enough
headroom for the efx to peak without hitting red ( xone has more headroom than efx) |
