the tr8s is about half the price new, but if you can find a used rytm mki, it’s close and the digitakt is in the ball park of the tr8s.

Unbroken1 Have released a couple of original bits since but mainly just edits/mashups.. have about a dozen unfinished tracks on my laptop. Am trying to get technically self-sufficient… not that confident with the more scientific mixing side of things but gradually sorting the studio out and trying to learn!
If you have any questions, ask away Damo. 25+ years producing and engineering. I now do it for other people too. Go me.
Dan Good little label Wez started.
Wez sold it quite some time ago, sadly. The current owner is a bit of a pillock and refuses to do his accounts or pay out money owed.
I see MasterSounds have done a price drop - Radius4 just over a grand now.

So these have an FX send/return. Would you be able to hook up a Pioneer EFX500/1000 ? Is there a separate blend knob for the FX and Filter, or does one control both?
…incredible value these mixers now.
Filter (channel) is controlled by the HPF knob directly above the channel fader. FX goes through the send/return and there is an insert switch presumably so you can bypass it outright… the Aux knob at the top controls the amount of effect. Here’s a good little video demonstrating the Mastersounds effects unit, an RMX/EFX would hook-up the same way:
IndustryStandard was very close to buying one but have decided to go for a db4, the mastersounds stuff looks amazing
Need to organise/sell some of my kit when I get round to it / have it all setup. Building a garden room currently thats going to be my studio / TV room / man cave . Have a DB2/Xone 62 and Xone 23 . No real justification of buying one of these apart from…….well…they look so good 
Maybe just the Raduis 2 for a vinyl setup!
Heno db4 looks great but i can’t help thinking they are about to replace it.
- Edited
mono-stereo They’ve retired the DB2 and that was released after the DB4, so agree .
Now Diggers have moved onto the V10 A&H have to up their game. Surprised their PX5 never seemed to take off. A few on this board had it if I remember correct and loved it. Looks superb but sort of lost the buzz around it. Suppose the 96 got released around the same time and punters went for that
…the fact that its operationally almost identical to the A&H V6/S6 is why I think the MS Radius is such incredible value.
DB4 is very long in the tooth now…. not convinced they will replace it tbh, I think the 96 offers the kind of flexibility that is much more desirable these days.
PX5 is a nice mixer but so many A&H users mix with the filters, only having a single master filter is a real shame IMO (cue Hannu!).
Eh, yes I have the PX:5 and yes I love it, but I’ve always been an EQU-guy, mainly use the filter when exiting a track, to smother it out. Fuĺl kill EQU on the mixer is all I need.
…conversely, I never touched the EQ after using a mixer with a HPF, although my new one is iso-only, so I guess is more EQ than filter
Yes. You are now mixing the way I’m mixing, as you could say the PX:5 has an iso on every channel.
…dunno about you, but I only ever use the iso subtractively, I read about people ‘boosting frequencies’ but I never fuck with tracks like that when mixing
Yeah, me neither.
…I asked Justin at Isonoe if he was interested in putting a filter on my mixer… he wasn’t
