DJ Vintage,
I cant thank you enough for your detailed response.
I have been mixing for about 4 years now at all sorts of different types of
gigs using the Numark idj Pro with a 2nd generation ipad.
As the gigs are getting bigger, so is the responsibility to perform better.
I have always wanted (at least an extra channel) a 4 channel mixer for
quicker transitions (having more than one song ready to go at a time) and
have been searching high and low for the right one that would work best
with the Djay software and Spotify.
The Mixon 4 seemed to answer the calling but since the announcement(s) that
Algoriddim was making all pioneer controllers compatible with Djay, I
thought I should revisit my options.
As for your points, because I do DJ weddings from time to time, a dedicated
mic channel has become essential, so thanks for pointing out the flaws in
the SR and Mixon. I know the Yamaha MG06 wont break the bank and has great
reviews across the board.
The jog wheels aren’t a major concern as scratching isn’t a staple in my
mixes. I use the jogwheels primarily for scrolling thru songs to line up a
cue point.
So, it sounds like the major differences (based on your reply), are:
—that the SX has no way of attaching to an ipad. However if im using a
laptop its a moot point.
—both have a less than brilliant mic set up, but that is easily corrected
with the Mixon by incorporating a Yamaha MG06.
—the jogwheel height is not of great concern to me
Other than what Ive listed, Im assuming the Mixon and SR effects and tools
are quite similar. Meaning, there isn’t ‘more’ you could do with 1
controller over the other performance wise?
Lastly, it was revealed awhile ago that the Mixon 4 was natively supporting
Melodics. However I cant find ANY info ANYWHERE on how this will be
integrated into the controller or how its going to work. Do you know
anything about this? When it was released thru instagram I asked right away
in the comments section but Reloop never answers in the comments section
Again, thank you so much for your help and participation in the dj
community.
Dustin
