Yeah the gains are on the back - I dont find it a particular problem at the moment as ive only got one deck and so have to mix via multitrack so I can sort out levels there. There not too difficlt to access on the back panel as theyre at the top but they are difficult to see. I think the 32 has one filter with LFO the 62 has two filter with no LFO. Also the 62 seems to have a Xfader curve switch rather than the pot which the 32 has. :-----Original Message----- :From: Langsman, Marc [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] :Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 11:34 AM :To: 'Neil Wallace'; [email protected] :Subject: RE: (313) mixer advice : : :is that the one with gains on the back panel? - that was like the only real :niggle I had with the A/H I used, Im sure mixers throughout the ages have :gain controls on top for good reason :) :I guess the only other thing I found was the xfader cut on my vestax was a :lot finer than the A/H but it wasnt really a prob once Id got going with :the :A/H. : :The lfo fader business is hours of fun too :D : :> -----Original Message----- :> From: Neil Wallace [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] :> Sent: 04 December 2002 11:16 :> To: [email protected] :> Subject: RE: (313) mixer advice :> :> :> :> Agreed, I got a xone:32 for around 400 and it seems really nice and :> solid too - having a filter on the mixer is quite a cool and worthwile :> addition (specially when it has an LFO to modulate it :) :> :> :-----Original Message----- :> :From: Toby Frith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] :> :Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 11:06 AM :> :To: Langsman, Marc; 'Brendan Nelson'; [email protected] :> :Subject: Re: (313) mixer advice :> : :> :I shelled out on a Xone 62 last July and must say that it's £800 well :> :spent. :> :As Marc points out, if you are serious about spinning out at clubs, :> it's :> :more than likely they're going to have either one of these (or it's :> bigger :> :bro the 464) or the Pioneer 600 installed.
