Nobody calls me a liberal and gets away with it, foo! As for mythical beasts, it is -true- that I worked for a music and arts newspaper in Washington DC three decades ago called the Unicorn Times. It was B.I. (before the Internets) so you youngsters can't look it up on Wikiplayer. We were covering electronic music (live and recorded) back then too. Here's an article Ted White wrote about a local dude, Rupert Chappelle, who ended up in some mysterious mid-70s prog universe and never left: http://irupert.com/irupert/ozonepage.html Ted White, in his Dr. Progresso guise, was one of our staff writers and this is one of the columns I edited. He -is- on Wikibooyaka. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_White_(author) I can't take credit for assembling our stellar cast of writers, that was all the doing of editor Richard Harrington, who was also a Washington Post freelancer and is now the dean of Post music writers. Back then, a mixer was a skronk box that was designed to add distortion to guitars so that fanboys would think they were more punk. Of course, in the right hands -- The Cramps, for example -- that was the correct move. fh Oh yeah, vote: playing in: Rane MP22 (with crossfader pulled because I don't use it and don't like the insertion loss) playing out: Rane MP24 - I have a custom made mixer forged from the steel of King Arthur's Excalibur sword and certified awesome by Bea Arthur. Theo played on it once at a gig we did a Burger King and it made him cry like a little girl when he tweaked the EQs. It has patent technology AI that predicts just how far you are going to kill certain ranges and does it before you do. The guys in Optimo own one which they customized with supersonic gain (I called it Helenkellerification), custom spoiler and neon lights underneath. It sits on 22s. I almost made a third one for Phred, but he refused to get me the proper amount of Unicorn blood that I needed to make it happen. He was having liberal guilt fits about the slaying of an animal in the name of sound.

I can confirm about Cielo -- saw Francois K there about a month ago for Deep Space and the sound was quite good. FK was kind of so-so, but then so was the crowd :) fh - funktion one also make some brilliant sounding speakers. cielo in new york has a system of theirs and it is totally awe inspiring.

It's a daft design (though I do sympathise with the thought that most djs don't understand audio engineering). I like, but not love, my xone 62. It's nice and smooth etc but I'm not overly keen on 4 bands for eq. Related to the above it actually likes being overdriven a little (and I'm a real stickler for keeping at 0dB). That said I've never been impressed with any Pioneer mixer quality particularly when it's red lined (which is typically always done by the dj before you). robin...

Re: (313) votes
but does crappy sound quality destroy sound systems? i'm asking because i don't know. anyway, most of the time the dj isn't an idiot, it's just a matter of bad communication between the sound man and the dj (or NO communication - how often does a sound man reside in the venue especially if it's a club?), and the dj is probably hard of hearing. ;P On 10/24/07, Alan Heneghan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You will still be sending a bad signal to the limitier = crap sound quality.

Re: (313) votes
I have got to say that the Pioneers' FX are excellent and well integrated. In fact, their mixers which I've used are fabulous for Techno-style DJing (i.e. heavy-handed FX EQ use). Way better than AH. I always felt that the AH user interface affords the DJ to put too much thought into the mixing. As long as you don't overload the inputs, pretty much any mixer is transparent enough. I'm happy to use my 3-channel, 3-band Numark. It really doesn't color the sound in any meaningful way, and the fader curves feel natural enough. But I definitely agree with tom, that gains should be accessible and give you plenty of gain for playing your older records that were pressed at like -24 relative to today's music. -Gil - Original Message From: Paul Kendrick [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Thomas D.

Re: (313) votes
I have a custom made mixer forged from the steel of King Arthur's Excalibur sword and certified awesome by Bea Arthur. Theo played on it once at a gig we did a Burger King and it made him cry like a little girl when he tweaked the EQs. It has patent technology AI that predicts just how far you are going to kill certain ranges and does it before you do. The guys in Optimo own one which they customized with supersonic gain (I called it Helenkellerification), custom spoiler and neon lights underneath. It sits on 22s. I almost made a third one for Phred, but he refused to get me the proper amount of Unicorn blood that I needed to make it happen.

I get to play on the 800 at our monthly and I really like, far superior to Pioneer's previous mixers. I am not really a fan of AH stuff, it just seems to be designed for dj's that like to slow bleed every mix and reminds me of when this town was into prog because all the guys pushing that sound claimed that the AH mixers were too much for other dj's to handle. It didn't matter if it was 10 or 2, it was just the same stuff being played for 4 hours. Ugh, so glad that fad had passed.

HEY SHAKE WHAT KIND OF MIXER DO YOU USE?
Re: (313) votes
Hey Mr. Ambient Dub Guitar Techno Guy, Shut up. Had you asked to borrow the mixer, I gladly would have let you. Heck, I could have made you one at the time because there was a surplus of Unicorn's blood at the Eastern Market. But no, you were off spatting on about some damn thing called Ableton at the time and I couldn't get you to listen. And Ken, both of you are wrong. It was at an Arby's. Two weeks later I found a rancid curly fry with horsey sauce stuck to a Roberta Flack record cover. I dared Theorem to eat it, but it didn't have enough delay on it.

Re: (313) votes
Played on an original UREI at a club once, but as mentioned, the lack of EQ was daft. the reason that Urei didn't put EQs on their mixers until recently is because they made their mixers to do one thing very very well and they sound amazing it resulted in a very clean and uncluttered board you then were encouraged to add on a high quality EQ to match the quality of the Urei mixer If you match the quality in everything from the mixer to your output speakers and everything behind the mixers you get a phenomenal sound problem is people don't understand that and they think the more crap they pile onto a mixer the better they will be at DJing (ooh flnge!) Urei mixers are probably the best I've ever heard (but then again, if you stick a Urei into a 2nd/3rd rate system you're not going to hear it anyway) MEK

Theo played on it once at a gig we did a Burger King and it made him cry like a little girl when he tweaked the EQs. It has patent technology AI that predicts just how far you are going to kill certain ranges and does it before you do. The guys in Optimo own one which they customized with supersonic gain (I called it Helenkellerification), custom spoiler and neon lights underneath. It sits on 22s. I almost made a third one for Phred, but he refused to get me the proper amount of Unicorn blood that I needed to make it happen.

I've also played on a UREI back in '03 and the experience was fantastic. Its one of the few times I raved about the mixer afterward. I'm use to playing on mixer that was once nice but its better days have long since past. The funny thing about that event was that Carl Craig was running late, so ppl kept assuming I was him, asking for pictures and what not. I had to explain about a dozen times that I was just another black dj from a depressed industrial town, with a better football team of course.

Urei mixers are probably the best I've ever heard (but then again, if you stick a Urei into a 2nd/3rd rate system you're not going to hear it anyway) MEK -- Technoir Audio http://www.technoiraudio.com dealing with your imperfect world

Formula Sound PM80 Badass mixer.
Re: (313) votes
I definitely vote AH. Not so much because of any experience with their DJ mixers, but I've used their pro audio desks a lot and they're quality. Pioneers are OK, but I've used them a lot and have 2 observations: They don't have much headroom -- as soon as a DJ starts going into the red you get a really ugly distortion. And out of the 4 DJM600s in Iowa City I've used in clubs, 3 of them had one channel of the XLR outputs go out. Allen and Heath mo better.

Re: (313) votes
I have AH XONE 32. Except the fact it has 3 channels, it already beats every pionner I got in hands (300,500,600) though i've never tried the 800. Anyways I dont think Pioneer have changed thier stupid EQs cutting everything when you low too much the bass. AH are soft, precise, and still have punchy efft. Hooray for the filters aswell. So forget Pioneer... Now between 62 and 92 I would say 62 becasue its cheaper, and for the extra $$$ 92 doesnt bring much more technically talking (except if youre fan of all these hawtinesque concetual effects and stuff). -- Benoît.
