| Getting a new mixer pretty soon and I'm leaning on the xone. Has anyone tried both, which do you prefer more? |

Xone 42 in a heartbeat.
I do like the layout of pioneer mixers, but they sound like crap, the FX are nothing but toys that get old real fast and the build quality is abhorrent.
A&H also got the layout design right of the 42. It's a joy to use and those filters sound so damn good. It's also got a 3 band EQ which was the last critical negative of the A&H naysayers (I never had a problem with 4 bands though).
Great mixer. Nearly as good as mine :p |

I owe ebay almost a grand and I do love quality, and the mixer looks pretty badass in black. I could get one for 725$ rather than paying 1400 for a 850. I'm selling my Ecler Hak360 which was fun but limited. I'm in the market now cuz my ableton license expiry things isn't working.
I could sure use some good filters. |

| $1400 for an 850. Is that the going rate? the 42 is worth two of them and half the money. Nice choice! |

| Its here guys holy I made the right decision. Tightest and most comfortable mixer i ever used. The channel faders are nice and long. The cue section is so versatile that i always find a sweet spot when mixing with headphones. I could never do this with other crap like pioneer for example. My only complaint is that I have to route from record out to USB RCA IN into the xone instead of having just usb cable to record, but thats no biggie. This baby is for keeps |

| Yeah i'll post more feedback later on. I know i'm no mixer genius but I thought the mixer would sound soft because its digital but i was wrong it sounds just as good as the rest of the line up. I know this because i had the 32 and sold it (forgot why, maybe cuz of the gains in the back) |
