Mad_Cyril you sure like buying expensive things then not using them.

Mad_Cyril careful he’s dodgy!

By rotary standards is relatively inexpensive, and was a good entry point for a beginner.

I’ll sell it on and recover a good chunk of the original layout.

The difference between original cost and sell-on will be an acceptable cost for getting started.

Homegrove I think @Mad_Cyril wanted to ask you about your A&H faders at some point

IndustryStandard

Don’t fancy the TRM -222?

IndustryStandard Love Traktor…. Solid performance with no constant dramas.

On the topic of rotary mixers, I now have access to a Euphonia and after spending a few hours on it…

… moist.

NasserAlazzawi …had a very brief play with one on Saturday for the first time. Build seems decent, aside from having access to /channel HPF’s not convinced there’s enough on there for me to want to change… yet.

New Pioneer / Alphatheta “All In One DJ System” coming soon

I look on this website from time to time to see in advance what is coming from Pioneer / Alphatheta.

It seems they have to license certain parts before releasing a new product and they get lodged on this website.

Previously it has been anywhere from weeks to 6 months between one of these dropping, and the product coming out. Sometimes the products don’t appear here at all (assuming they are re-using the same licensed parts from other products)

This time, it seems like we aren’t being given the real name of the system - possibly due to this site being exposed a solid source of a few leaks in recent years (or it really is called 0001).

However, we can speculate that the XDJ-XZ successor is coming - which has been my personal interest in why I check this page.

I could be wrong, and this could be something smaller, like an XDJ-RR or RX3 replacement - but for the mean time I invite you to join me in some exciting speculation.

NasserAlazzawi

By chance I’ve found out what it is going to be called as well:

XDJ-AZ

mjh try and get one you won’t regret it really smooth fun mixer it’s right up there for me.

IndustryStandard

Used the XDJ XZ at that party in Portugal a few weeks back. I get why its popular but didnt really get on with it. I was B2B with someone using RB via laptop and I was using a HD, and whilst the laptop was plugged in the headphone monitor was all muffled and messed up. It was all a bit of a mess blending DJs, so flexibility wasnt great …..especially given everyone was using RB / Pioneer software & hardware. Pioneer sub menus are another bag of fun too. Having to select all the different catrgories for filtering and sorting PRIOR to exporting to USB/HD is a bit 2010…..thought they may have sorted that out by now.

blasphemy!!

But yeah the next one will be on the new architecture like the Opus Quad / CDJ-3000 where it can read raw files / stream them on the fly etc. It has the 2016 CPU / screen from the CDJ-2000nxs2 and even by 2016 it was already showing its age in the age of iphone/ipad touch screens.

My guess is its gonna have Stems too but can’t see on this diagram.

IndustryStandard Your mates are using four decks, they just don’t need laptops. I don’t get it at all

NasserAlazzawi

I’ve deduced its one of those things that you sort of fall in love with the longer you go on it. My first blast was 10 minutes and I was just intregued but then I had a good few hours on it and my bank manager literally rang me from his home landline shouting don’t you fucking dare son

Unbroken1

…its a very specific feature set that I look for in a mixer, and although there are aspects to the Euphonia that I really like, I just kinda feel that its almost too much on the bells & whistles front.

I think my current mixer is the only one of its kind in the NE, the service is untouchable- I can talk to the guy that designed/built it about very specific spec tweaks, and there will NEVER be a mixer as well-built.

NasserAlazzawi

Unbroken1 nice, which mixer are you on?

Unbroken1

…but ask me again in 6-months 😉

ScottBailey

@Homegrove this has probably been discussed before, but what’s your recording setup? Think I remember seeing you use Traktor, so have you assigned your cdjs to the decks on it and then use the performance recording mode, or do you record the outgoing signal from your mixer? Or other?

I was previously using Traktor Pro with a Z1 & X1, but since getting my XDJs and Xone:43, I’ve been using a Behringer UCA222 out of the back of my mixer to my laptop and recording the signal in Audacity. Not convinced this is getting as good a recording as I was getting in Traktor.

Cheers

Homegrove

ScottBailey I always record with my Tascam DR1 from the rec output.
