Along_the_Wire Just gotta know your tunes like the back of your hand.
Mix Club - The Remedial Class
Re the crossfader.
I used to use it all the time, I now switch back and forward between the crossfader and channel faders depending on what I want to achieve from each particular transition or mix
Some gold in here chaps.
All contributions greatly appreciated
Meant to say, for pure beat matching practice, go and get a couple of really minimal house tracks; mixing something that is almost just percussion will help with your accuracy. Some pad laden Guy J track with barely a kick drum and a 5 minute intro will be a ball ache when you are starting out. And on a similar note, minimal electro and techno tracks will have more ‘space’ in them, allowing you to be a bit more creative with your mixing. Think Chemical Bros - Brothers Gonna Work It Out mix.
Do any of you mix in and out a lot with the filters?
My mate was a right nightmare for it and left the filter on every time. So many mixes in the afters where you think it’s coming in so perfectly only to take off the headphones and realise there’s nothing playing through through the speakers and you’ve got 30 seconds to sort it out. Bastard
Along_the_Wire …yep, mixed exclusively with the HPF on the A&H V6 and on the Rane 2015, never touched the EQ when I had filters.
Being able to mix like this accounts for the mega popularity of the Xone 92 too I reckon.
Taking this back down a level .
Just put up the furniture the boss has allowed me for my DDJ400. Great height and width but not deep enough for a controller and a laptop.
Looking at stands but think id need the controller to be sat on the base.
Difficult to tell online if the bases of the stands are ok with a controller sat on.
Anyone had one, know, recommemd any?
Sorry to take it back down to toytown!!
Lose the Lappy and struggle like fuck for a bit.

Impossible with the 400
Along_the_Wire I’m probably going to upgrade to the XZ at some point next year. What is it that you have found hard about making the switch from controller to all in one?
Thats what i intend to do Dubbers, i just want to know, dor sure that the controller wont be wobbling about on the feet of said stand.
Especially given i ha e a Gorilla DJ table thing in the garage that got the curly finger
