Korg zero 4

Paulj · Post by **Paulj** » Sat May 24, 2008 4:13 pm

I've been working the past month or two to get some dough together cos I was thinking of upgrading some of my gear to make the move into a more professional type of setup-

first thing i need is a good mixer. I been looking at this Korg Zero 4 thing, looks the business for a start, but what I like about it is that it's kind of like an effects type mixer which wud be useful for production stuff but it has a cross fader as well so I cud improve my scratching skills etc.

I'm no expert on mixers etc so what do you guys think of this thing?

on paper it looks awesome, but expensive as hell.

Wow yeah, a lot of problems with it apparently! Ok so I guess Zero 4 is out of the picture.

Are there any other mixers out there with about 4 inputs that have a crossfader and some nice effects? What can anyone recommend?

I've been considering this one myself actually! It's cheap as well...

That looks awesome.

I'd jump on that one alot quicker than the Zero 4. The Mackie D4 Pro looks good too. Still a DJ mixer, still has firewire and alot of features similar to the Zero 4 just a better mixer.

no xfader though, how you gonna cut?

Yeah as much as i like the look of the Edirol, no crossfader is a bit of a put-off. The Mackie looks ill tho. I'm glad I got some time to think about this, there doesn't seem to be a definitive dj mixer that does all the shit and does it good!
