DZC Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I'm looking to get a new mixer, I'm using a DJM 400 just now but I want something with filters for when I'm recording a mix I am used to Pioneer mixers and may just upgrade to a DJM 450 but The Xone 23 caught my eye. I've had a go on one before and the scratching felt really off with it. I'm not sure if it was just the curve setting which was wrong but it didnt feel right and a few people have said the same. Anyone tried scratching on a Xone mixer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Symatic Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 there's better mixers for scratching, but I've survived on it plenty of times. The one in a local club is universally hated though. A&H filters are apparently good if you're into that sort of thing. You might get a semi descent DVS mixer with that sort of functionality though, liek the Mixars mixer. again, not mindblowingly good but it ticks a lot of boxes for not too much money. i like that the Xone 23 has an FX loop though.

Guest rasteri Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 The fader's terrible, and the VCA has a very long decay so your cuts sound sloppy as fuck. Avoid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeljms Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 There's a bespoke innofader for it, I think. But you can fit an inno into pretty much anything so not sure why you'd bother with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeljms Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 The only Xone mixer designed for scratching remains the Xone 02. That's the one to get if you want Allen and Heath and a scratch mixer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Not a 23 but I like my Xone02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZC Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 I've completely made up my mind on getting the Pioneer 450 cause it means I could get rid of Traktor, theres no issue with the faders, and has a soundcard for DVS built in Seems like a great mixer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Probably put an innofader in it. I really like my 909 with an innofader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 It is a weird layout and I don't like the way the cue is setup. Got mine really cheap tho. That 250 looks nice but no fx send/return which kinda stinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
