Sygboe Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Hi, can anyone tell me how to set up 3-4 decks with 2 mixers in a daisy chain fashion?I've seen this done on some you tube vids and scratch battles but don't know how to did it properly. Does one mixer go into the other mixer? And one deck ends up controlled by both mixers? It's to have 2 scratch djs at the same time Thanks.

Guest rasteri Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 There's no standard way as such - You could hook both mixers up to a third mixer, or you could hook one mixer up to the other one if it has a session in (or to the line in if you only have 3 turntables).

djdiggla Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 There used to be a device called a Stanton Session Box that hooked up either 3 or 6 mixers. It was very affordable too. I've not seen them in years but maybe try ebay if that sounds useful. Otherwise I'd suggest a cheap line mixer. But there's lots of ways you can do it. A number of mixers even have a "session in" plug and you just plug one mixer into that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest It'sPhilFromThursdays Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 For the set up that cuts out the other deck (in the 3 dex and 2 mixers scheme) set up a pair of dex and mixer as normal and then plug the out put of that mixer into the line in of one of the channels and then plug another deck into the unused channel of that mixer. That way it will cut out the mixer with the two deck normal set up on one channel of the mixer going into the line in. I cut with a mixer either side of a deck so i can ambi cut on both sides. I think i explained that confusingly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdiggla Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Pics of the Stanton box if anyone wondered. Real hard to find used ones. I bought from TTL in the early 2000s. https://imgur.com/a/8MQoa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just about to express my extreme disappointment at the very thought of you buying something from Stanton when you could make a much cooler one yourself! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Just make sure you give Focus props for the idea or he will skewer you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sygboe Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 This worked perfectly, thanks! I was being pretty thick not actually working out. (Slaps head that hasn't done sooner). This will be really good for continued both hands scratching practice. For the set up that cuts out the other deck (in the 3 dex and 2 mixers scheme) set up a pair of dex and mixer as normal and then plug the out put of that mixer into the line in of one of the channels and then plug another deck into the unused channel of that mixer.
