I'm not convinced - although what do I know, not being a dj? No readily accessible trims means you can't really use volume as an effect as much as you might.
Also, as for myself, when I do play, I tend to play quite a bit of old records - I mean over ten years old - which are often 'quiet' pressings for any number of reasons. Reaching back to the gains to turn a channel up and then hurriedly going back there to turn it down again for the next record will get irritating, and knowing me, I'll probably forget sometimes ... k >-----Original Message----- >From: Gary Robinson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2003 11:22 AM >To: Martin; Jason Brunton; Blackman, Ryan (UKEKT) >Cc: 313 >Subject: Re: (313) richie hawtin in wired magazine > > >All down to space on the front panel, you can set the gain while you're >cueing up and shouldn't need to tweak it, whereas the EQs, sends, filter >etc. all need to be closer to hand while in the mix.
