Ok thanks, I already looked at the manual 5 times but I didnāt understand it, now I understand.
You can send the outputs 9/10 and 11/12 to channels A and B but itās not the same direction for inputs. Correct? The inputs come from the sends OK i get that now. Thanks, the xone will be delivered next week. I am figuring out now how I will connect everything.
Yes inputs to mixer can be sent to all 6 stereo channels from computer as ānormalā. Outputs from mixer are a little different Youve got it.
Why do you want to connect sub via MIC? Both those channels have line inputs, they are labeled return A and return B. I hook my elektron gear into both A/B. See this video , Rtym and Analog4 are using A/B-
send 1 returns as mono (right) on my return channel C or D
because I did not understand i switched return channels C / D, same result
when i test with send 2 it returns as stereo ā¦
Yep, its because I had the Hi-Z button pressed in. On channel A (return) I connected my Voicelive VOCAL pedal. But because itās a pedal the volume is very low. Thats why I needed to enable or disable Hi-Z. But when you do that it only outputs mono (send) damnit!
I fixed it by pulling out input R of my reverb/delay pedal (where Send 1 goes too) if you can follow me . The pedal then knows he recieves mono and turns the mono input to stereo output
Nobody will care I think, but I write it down anyway, maybe in the future I forgot I had this problem and will return to this topic.
So OK, just one thing left and thats setting up traktor tor record a mix from the xone 96. not able to get any signal into the recording yet.
Hey there thanks for all of the advice in this thread. I am hoping yo set up a 96 to use live and was wondering if this sounds correct please. The two send/returns would go to delay and reverb pedals. One line channel would be Analog4 main out, one line channel would be rytm main out, the remaining two line outs would be for the kick and snare. My question is what is the best way to connect the kick and snare channels - TRS out to stereo rca cables?
TS to RCA, probably. However, you need to note that ch. 1-4 are stereo channels, and expect a stereo in. Youāll get a very oddly-panned kick/snare to one channel since the circuit diagram doesnāt show the left channel getting multed to the right if thereās no right input (unlike the return channels). Youāll either need to manually mult your mono signal to L/R, or run it into mono in on return 1/2.
The 96 was designed as a DJ mixer, thatās why ch. 1-4 are RCA in (CDJs, Traktor interfaces, turntables). Donāt forget to remove your kick and snare from your ARās master out, otherwise youāll get doubling.
Actually, the soundcards in the xone:96 are of high quality, ultra low latency.
Can you elaborate on why you would stay away from it for production purposes?
imho in cases where one wants to use it for live situations as well as a soundcard for productions, itās a great option.
WoW
Agreed for the āproductionā side of thingsā¦ To a certain extent. Buying a good Soundcard with multiple I/O is a good option.
Nevertheless, I use an Analog DJ mixer for live and prod work also. Would not look back at this stage.
Thanks everyone - I am learning so much. I currently have a Qu16 mixer but it is just too big to take around for gigs. I have been DJing on vinyl then serato for 20years and have a different setup for that - but I do want to start playing live more and would like to use the same setup in my studio (so that I am very comfortable with it). I canāt afford to keep the Qu16 if I go for the the Xone96, but I have heard only good things about the sound and the soundcard that this mixer has
I am still trying to wrap my head around the best setup - ideally Iād like to have two sends going out to a dub delay pedal and a reverb pedal and was thinking that SendA and Send B would be best for this? Would this mean that the SendA and SendB faders would control the amount of delay and reverb signals coming back into the main mix? Could I also send their signal to the delay to make a massive dub delay loop?
If possible having the snare from the Rytm as a separate source so I could massively affect it with both pedals would be sweet - I could double it up (never thought of that) by using the same sound on two pads of the Rytm and then plug them into the rca of one channel.
Then the Rytm main would go into one channel rca, the Analog4 into the third rca channel.
Would this work? Is there a better option for setup than this please?
Thanks everyone - very excited to do this - ordered a 96 to my local shop already.
