adz_rolls Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Mine pops like a motherfucker intermittently! When it does, its worse than my Raiden, which is pretty disappointing tbh. Edited June 5, 2016 by adz_rolls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomYumYGC Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Anyone know anything about those crazy looking Italian faders? Can't remember where but I saw pics on FB... switches, knobs and all sorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've must throw out a quick, smug 'my nanofader board with PCV fader does nothing so crude' while I'm here 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iexist Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Mine definitely pops.. but so does my raiden. The jddx2r fader seems more solid than the raiden IMO. Audio quality sounds louder and more crisp too. I agree with Dirk, that I expected a bit more weight.. but all in all.. just an updated portable fader. I feel the prices on these are just going to keep increasing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rasteri Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 It's impossible to build a passive fader that doesn't pop. You can (maybe) reduce the effect with filters and shunt capacitors but you can only get so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adz_rolls Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I've just spent the evening giving it some heavy use and I have to say I haven't noticed the popping much at all so maybe I was a bit quick to judge! Much smoother than my Raiden as well. More than pleased with it atm. My electrical know how is non existent so thanks for the knowledge rasteri!

TomYumYGC Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Rock Well - Thanks for the info!Rasteri - Good to know. I had real bad signal when trying to use a headphone splitter in reverse to add aux input with my Frisk Fader, saw people do this online but sounds terrible. Anyone found a way to add aux signal in this way without ruining the output? Sorry if this was asked elsewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreign711 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Had mine for a few days now and yeah, it has a pop sound. You can barely hear it when you turn the volume all the way up on the turntable and adjust the sound from your mixer or amp. I believe Rasteri that it will always be present with a passive fader. Trade-off ain't bad since you won't have to worry about powering up the fader. The cuts are smooth as hell and sounding loud and clean when recording into my OP-1, which was a problem I had with the OG Raiden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indigno80 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Is a expensive price for a passive fader... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 All this passive fader at ever increasing prices feels a bit 'Emperor's New Clothes' to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Still haven't broken mine out yet. Not gonna be very happy if it pops tho. Fucking shit. So annoying... I mean, for the price... if it popped and was $40 that's one thing. Hopefully it's not too bad like jreign said. Kinda wish I had held out for the ginormous DJtech faderbox.

Argh, never ever do this, you can blow everything you plug into it. I've seen shops expressly sell splitter cables for this exact purpose, they should be hanged from a noose made of them. Anyone found a way to add aux signal in this way without ruining the output? Sorry if this was asked elsewhere... You can do it passively with small-value series resistors, say 470ohm, and a parallel 20k (or so) resistor. See : http://www.rane.com/n109fig2.gif (this diagram is for combining one stereo into mono but it can be used in the same way to combine two stereo signals, just need twice as many resistors) I've not found anyone that sells these off-the-shelf. My shop bought some that claimed to be for combining audio signals but they were just regular splitters being sold by some unscrupulous cunt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also pops like hell, it's not even worth using as it got so bad. I'm going to hold out and see how how the innoraiden turns out before I buy another.

Vekked Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Took the Jesse Dean for a spin yesterday and met the man himself. I think it's pretty much as good as you're gonna get for a passive portable fader option (the bigger/battery powered options might be a different story when they drop). It's a lot looser than Raiden/Frisk, feels more solid, and the cut is nice. It actually feels more like a real fader instead of a toy, obviously not Innofader Pro/Pro-X/Rane fader quality, but probably would hang with the innofader mini, or solid analog faders in terms of quality. It pops slightly (as any passive fader is going to) but it's heaps better than the other options. He went into the science of it and said for best results you want to cut over a beat hooked through the Aux input to decrease the popping, rather than cutting over an external beat. Something about the audio input affecting the way the fader cuts and zero-summing... I'm not technical enough to understand, but I heard it. So that's just a heads up for people who hear more obvious popping when cutting acapella. Anyways, that's my review. No clue about durability or anything long-term obviously, but it's a big jump from the other 2 passive fader options out there at the moment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingray Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I can't wait. Thing is, it sucks that I pre-ordered and I am seeing them in retails stores before I even got mine. =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekked Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Just reading the last page of posts it seems like I pretty much just said stuff other people said lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Free Base Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Hey Stingray, try contacting him about your pre order if you haven't heard anything about it. I was in the same boat and shot him an email yesterday morning, he responded promptly and had a paypal invoice and subsequent tracking info email to me in no time. I'm pretty sure he just got overwhelmed with the demand, which is understandable, since it both looks and sounds dope from a lot of people's experiences as evidenced by Vekked. That said, can't wait to get mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

props to the finger Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 How to cleaning vid Nice, I love just how easy it seems to clean it. I'm really looking forward to trying it out, as I'm fiending for a portable fader with a feel closer to rail faders. the shipping of mine was unfortunately delayed, but dude is quick as fuck when it comes to answering emails and providing support it seems, so I'm letting it slide this time.
