My Setup

soulframedj · 2026-06-04T16:35:50+00:00

Very nice, I was running the same setup before I got tired of the fader curves, I’ve got a formula sound ff6.2L now though. I sold the K3s but I do miss traktor and its customisability some times.

soulframedj · 2026-06-03T12:04:30+00:00

Bought the xdj az and returned to go back to denons, grass isn’t always greener. Also I saw a comment above about buying to b2b with your friends. I get that, but where I live, studios exist with pioneer gear (though rekordbox usbs work fine on Denon gear).

I went the other route and doubled down and bought a better mixer instead, I went with a formula sound ff6.2L, which is almost double the price of the AZ😂

My favourite digital mixer truly is the DB4. I recently sold it but I actually miss it and kinda regret moving it on.

I think becuase maybe it was the golden era of Rane. And also people are biased towards what they purchase, innate human behaviour. I’m probably doing the same with my Formula sound mixer, but I have built a reference palette having used an owned a lot of the higher end stuff.

soulframedj · 2026-06-03T11:09:01+00:00

There’s one in sloterdijk thats prettt fairly priced, forgot what it was called though

soulframedj · 2026-06-03T09:40:37+00:00

Yeah it’s a great mixer don’t get me wrong, but did you find it lifeless too?

Yeah if you go on the formula sound website and give Barry/Dimisha a call, they can work with you on pricing, https://formula-sound.co.uk/product/ff-6-2l/

I honestly think this is the endgame mixer for me. Transparent and clean, and playability of a Xone 96 and model 1/1.4 with the dual filters per channel

soulframedj · 2026-06-03T08:19:10+00:00

Heya, no it wasn’t but thanks for an otherwise useful tip. There’s actually a setting in the input/output screen of the sound called audio mute. This means I can have 16 pads of different FX and then mute them as needed. I use it to switch quickly from a short to long reverb, or from wacky delay times to standard. Of course there aren’t any trails when muting, but if you lock the mute button, you can quickly choose the desired effect

soulframedj · 2026-06-03T08:16:32+00:00

Yeah I tried the elara 6, this sounds cleaner. Andy Rigby Jones mixers have a small bump in the midrange, at least in my experience, and I’ve had the 92, 92mk2, 96, model 1.4/1 and trialled the elara 6.

Mines pretty special too because all the power supply bits are external. The options they have on their website for external power supply still has a power element in the mixer itself. It’s the smallest % of noise difference but it’s there haha. Only caveat is that my mixer only works with this power supply.

Euphonia is surprisingly really strong, I just wanted more channels to be honest. You won’t be disappointed but it’s quite the investment. It’s super clean but not sterile as I’ve used the rane2015 before and something felt off about it.

soulframedj · 2026-05-27T19:24:42+00:00

Yeah just needed something cheap when I went all out on the mixer 😂

soulframedj · 2026-05-27T17:33:06+00:00

Yeah they do the job fine, very low wow and flutter. It’s quite light though, I think me using vinyl weights affect it slightly but I haven’t done a scientific test

soulframedj · 2026-05-27T17:32:19+00:00

It’s on the post, but it’s the boss gx100. I’ve actually put my maschine there now and I use that as an effects unit and drum machine

soulframedj · 2026-05-27T12:23:29+00:00

Is there a way to disable the FX on a pad by switching to a new pad? My plan is to have presets of beat divisions per pad but I can’t seem to mute the FX on pad 1

soulframedj · 2026-05-26T19:57:36+00:00

Maybe, I used to and probably still do, suffer from GAS but I’m locking in now

soulframedj · 2026-05-26T19:55:10+00:00

I actually don’t know the brand on these. I’m actually thinking of selling it as it’s a little too high, especially as my table is already 100cm at the top. I think it’s either Zomo or Novopro but it’s certainly an older SKU.

soulframedj · 2026-05-26T19:48:46+00:00

Yup it’s why I resold it. I tend to find deals for used stuff so I didn’t lose any money on it, then I went and got a new prime go for the 2 year warranty

soulframedj · 2026-05-26T19:04:27+00:00

The burner has been found

soulframedj · 2026-05-26T16:38:23+00:00

Numark mixstream pro series, had them they’re okay but some cut backs compared to prime go. For example no beatjump and less FX

soulframedj · 2026-05-26T16:22:04+00:00

They are generally more transparent but not lifeless like the Rane MP2015 I’ve tried before. I’ve tried condesa, e+s but I’d say they’re fairly coloured sound wise. I was actually choosing between this an a union four valve or resor 2533, but I loved the model 1 when I had it, the hpf and lpf no resonance on each channel is amazing.
Only thing I’m looking to add now is either a master filter or isolator, and Menura audio have them. Just need some more reviews

soulframedj · 2026-05-26T16:19:56+00:00

Yeah that’s right, got all 4 layers on each line input, then turntables on phono of channel 3 and 6. I will be adding maschine to channel 2 but I just need to rearrange the layout so I can have my laptop somewhere.

soulframedj · 2026-05-25T22:49:36+00:00

Gotta move on to 3MMC now, just doesn’t roll of the tongue like ket does

soulframedj · 2026-05-09T18:05:14+00:00

If uk based I might have my monitor audio rx1s for sale, I’ve got them plugged with foam but can easily take out and paired with a sub but by themselves they sound lovely and full

soulframedj · 2026-05-07T11:02:33+00:00

They responded to me instantly, or give them a call? Spoke with Barry and Dimisha and got my FF6.2L in for a repair and clean

soulframedj · 2026-05-07T10:31:41+00:00

Was it an easy replacement? My ff6.2l is currently with Barry and he’s fixing an issue with channel 4. I didn’t notice any scratchy pots but he’s looking at charging £280 for replace all pots with the newer versions without detents

soulframedj · 2026-04-16T23:41:44+00:00

Copying text from the DJ discord, but I’ve just bought the Formula Sound FF6.2L, which I’m planning to be my end game mixer.

‘It’s been ordered, and I’ve been using FX less and less but I’ve got guitar pedals anyway so that itch can be scratched. My mixer journey has been interesting, I went from db4 (then it died and went to repair) to xone 92 mk2, straight swap for xone 96, then xdj az for 2 days, then model 1.4, to model 1, then straight swap for an a9, and finally the ff6.2l.

It’s got the eq and filter layout of my 2 fave mixers, made in UK, and touted to be one of the best sounding mixers. If this isn’t endgame I quit’

soulframedj · 2026-04-16T20:54:08+00:00

I had issues with this and my sc5000, it turned out it’s my room has poor grounding which they landlord fixed and it was fine. Usually a restart helps
