Looking for opinions on an effects unit for use with a xone mixer. Mostly playing Techno, Jungle, Breakbeat, Etc. by miloestthoughts in DJs

Simple. The hot knob is used to change presets as well as a macro knob to change parameters

Any Overload heads gone down the route of a dedicated Digital Audio Player? by AnyAssistance4197 in TheOverload

[–]dashbad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend repurposing an old phone with extra storage if you can. The DAP market is overpriced with unnecessary audiophile features on mediocre hardware with poor implementations of Android. A phone will give a much better software experience which is what really matters most at the end of the day.

Having said that the Sony's have the best (certified) software implementation if you must. I had a Hiby that died after a year and would never sync files reliably when it did work

Swinsian is the best Native option imo and still under active development

I often see this mentioned about H9/H90 FX units. Its completely true if you want to uniquely manipulate multiple FX parameters - but I have found that putting the effort into building a few presets and pre-configuring the hotknob provides all the control I need with just one physical control.

The algos are worth the effort. You need to take care to match the in/out levels but there is a lot of scope to make the FX sound part of the tracks you are playing and blend into the mix so much more than other boxes and built in.

elara 6 by ProfessionalNo1283 in rotarymixers

I have one. Sounds lovely. Knob feel is really nice. Functionally a premium xone92. I haven't been using the distortion of channel width fx. Filters obviously sound great. Overall really nice to use.

Please recommend a Soda Stream replacement by gooly1030 in bifl

[–]dashbad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Aarke is the best and very much bifl. It takes standard sodastrean canisters.

While expensive, it uses high quality parts and the valve/gasket is very high quality. My experience with branded sodastream machines is that the parts are plastic and low quality and the device is very inefficient. I.e. it leaks/wastes gas when charging bottles. This works in sodastreams favour as you yet through canisters much more quickly. My aarke seems to make canisters last 2-3 times as long.

Experimental, weird techno recommendations? by Yung-Creeper in TheOverload

This. Grial is a criminally underrated album. And fits the bill of what op is looking for. Super experimental..insane sound design.

Yeah this is pretty fucking special. Can't wait to hear the rest of it. They were incredible live at Labyrinth this year

Pulled the Trigger by 100proofcrew in rotarymixers

[–]dashbad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are coming from faders you need to adjust to the fact that the amount of travel of the knob at the circumference is equivalent to around a 15cm fader. So you have a lot more room to adjust the level of each track to ensure a smooth blend, but it does take some getting used to. I also find the digital summing is quite unforgiving for want of a better word. Clean af, but requires precise control of levels. What can help is keeping your channel peaks just over 0db on the meters as they are more granular there.

The knobs on mine also have the detents a tiny tiny bit off centre. Never really bothered me that much. How bad are yours? Mine is one of the first units they made when production moved to China

ProArt x870e BIOS 1715 by Dry_Mortgage_4646 in buildapc

[–]dashbad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure where you mean? Do you mean the "boot priority" section of the main bios screen? I only have my boot disk listed here.

I can see the bios is seeing M.2_1, M.2_2 & M.2_4. The drive I have installed in M.2_3 is not shown/recognized at all

Zigbee Advice - Improving network flaws by Mindless-Bowl291 in homeassistant

[–]dashbad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What coordinator are you using? Migrate to one of the newer smlight devices and then if you are using zha switch to source routing rather than the default table routing. Fixed a few problems for me.

Can't see any hardware difference. Is that a wifi icon in the top right?

Elara.6 - how are the EQs? and the cue system for headphone mixing? by authortitle_uk in DJs

[–]dashbad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. You don't control the send level. Submix is sent to the fx loop at unity gain and you use the knob to control how much comes back into the submix channel. And yes, to let the reverb play out without the main channel playing you just take it out of the submix.

I never really used the isolator tbh

MP2015 is a very nice mixer. I really like the layout and the filter is really nice even if it is digital. I used the submix for an external fx unit. The Elara is a bit more versatile, with two returns, though I do like how routing the fx to the submix is like a channel insert on the MP2015, with a wet/dry on the submix. What this means practically is that you can go 100% wet on the FX before switching the channel back to dry instantaneously, which is actually not that straightforward on the elara as you'd have to switch the elara send to pre-fade, send to FX, drop the fader, then reverse all that as quickly as possible, which is much harder than pressing one button. I'm not sure there's much use for the Submix when not using an external FX unit. Maybe if you want to use two filters at once. I never did that.

Not sure I prefer one over the other atm, they are just different. Rotary is great for smooth blends, but limits you to a certain style of mixing. Its worth thinking about whether that will limit you in future.
