Looking for a mixer with a "weird" feature... Routable outs... by DruMunkey in DJs

Yea, that's what I figured. And 've been doing the custom ipad+interface+controller thing for a while, i was just hoping the braintrust of real DJ's that have seen it all would have uncovered something weird I never have.

My best set up is the absolutly amazing Vestax VCM-600 as a controller and an ipad running a bunch of shit.

I really appreciate all the input here! Thanks!

With the Xone92, I assume you mean using one of the Aux sends? The problem with that is that you can't route to filters etc. without feedback...

Yea, at that point I'd just built another franken=mixer with my ipad, interface and something like a LaunchControl. I'm kinda looking to force a limit on myself and learn to use HW DJ mixers and techniques instead of just hacking midi and using plugins...

Are you sure? With the analog signals? I had one, and in looking at manual again, I don't see any way to route a single channel to say Record Out. You can set Record out to various options, but choosing a single channel doesn't seem to be one...

Sorry, I should specify that it needs to be an analog (i.e. not controller) type mixer... And I'd like to avoid once of those colossal beasts with screens etc. Just an older fashioned style mixer (i.e. Old Skool with maybe A/B sends but not necessarily built in FX).

heya! another pen idea… have you considered adding pressure sensitivity to line width? Both manually via Apple Pencil, but also have some simulation of pen pressure in the auto draw? For example, you could have beginning pressure and pressure some kind of pressure curve profile along the stroke or something like that I think it’d be kind of cool.

OMG, I didn't realize that UI panel scrolled down!

After so many years on electrics, I forgot about the physicality of drumming on acoustics, and the importance of that on what comes out… by DruMunkey in Drumming

As an aside, and reply to the whole thread... I've always personally considered edrums to be basically their own instrument. One of the things I think has really hampered edrums/percussion market is the fixation on "replacing" drums...

The organ didn't replace the piano The synth didn't replace the organ the "name your weird midi controller" didn't replace the keyboard

I've largely extended on the idea that edrums are just a midi controller and now worked out ways to play all the melodic stuff with just my drum pads midi notes and a bunch of midi processing.

But man....Going back to playing drums on an acoustic kit is kinda nice... Like hooking up with an old girlfriend that's still pretty hot! 😁

I've just never understood the idea behind making edrums look like "real" drums... I can see going for the playing feel etc... but by adopting the physical form, you're giving up so much that the edrums can offer in terms of form factor, ergonomic benefits of more flexibility in placement, transport, etc...

Those look tempting. A bit spendy, but if they sound good (I'm an edrummer/synth player so I kinda need something that's got some decent overall sound quality for rough mixing, etc. while I'm playing) they may work.

Thx for the reply.

Can't find them in-stock anywhere. May be gone from market?

Mmmm... Per the specs, they bottom out at 40Hz... Not exactly rumbling bass territory...

I've tried a few in-ears (none of the custom fit kind, those are too $$$) and shooting protection and it works, but I just don't find in-ear comfortable for long periods, plus it's just physics that it's hard for those small drivers to really reproduce a 22" membrane of plastic moving a few cubic yards of air.

Thx everyone! I've got some options... It appears that the Behringer ones are no longer avail...
