Yeah, I figured it records better audio than my crappy laptop. And I’m so used to it. Even when I played with Traktor I never used the internal record, and now that I play mostly with the XDJs and USB sticks it’s not an option anyway.

NasserAlazzawi I run my soundcard off the booth currently, will continueto do so for the foreseeable future I think

    Very unexpected surprise landed today, so finally pulled the trigger on;

    Been trying to convince myself I will benefit from the extra flexibility. In reality will probably just complicate things too much for me!

    Will be fun trying though, and figured will hold value relatively well if I can’t use it

      Mad_Cyril Looks lovely, I like the old school meters too. Not sure how you’re going to do 3 deck mixes with it though. 😉

          More logical than Radius! Mate’s got one, been meaning to go give it a try for ages, but he’s vinyl only, and I a) don’t want to drag my players to his home, or b) go through my vinyl and pack a bag.

            SC6000”s have 2 layers, you can switch the output channel on the unit somehow.

            But I think 2 will do me 😂

                Guess habits a big factor, your view is because you are used to a different approach

                The Radius has actually taught me some basic principles. Balancing the filters and the pots just works.

                I’d have spent years pissing about with extra eq’s before I figured it out. Also stops you trying to mash tracks that are really in complimentary.

                So much easier to do with only 2 knobs to play with 😳

                  Deadly fair play mate, looks a excellent mixer, think at some point I’ll buy a radius 2 they look such a good mixer

                    …very nice, although going from one to the other I’d miss the simplicity of mixing with the HPF.

                    I guess in an ideal world, you’d have both (like the Rane MP2015), but given a binary choice, I’d go HPF > EQ tbh.

                      Unbroken1 the ideal rotary in that sense is the before mentioned Formula Sound FF4.2R, 4 band full kill equ and low pass and high pass filters on every channel. You could sculp the fuck out of the sound with that. And also has great sound.

                        …only time I ever really touch an EQ is if a track is so poorly mixed/recorded it needs tweaking in some way (happens rarely these days).

                        For me when mixing, the subtractive nature of the HPF and a little boost of channel fader is really all I need.

                          Different techniques man, I use the equ aggressively, and if there is no high pass filter I miss it.

                          Unbroken1 I can’t seem to work with the filter. One for retirement when I’ve loads of time - I like the the aggressiveness of EQs live too.
