Yeah man, I say that then I fell in love with a recent jam by AYYBO and now I'm back peddling on this statement big time. LOL. By the way, don't sleep on AYYBO, holy shit he is dropping 🔥. Props to Gene Lee for turning me on to this cat.
Somehow I missed Katrina was Christine's sister... I don't KNOW know her, but I did a remix with one of her and Robs tracks as one of my first remixes! Great interview.
@@mrlinden I met Katrina at one of Christine’s beach parties the first time playing IN seattle with Loft folks in 2022.I helped her load up her art sale installation. She is Musician personified. Talks it, breathes it, lives it.
I think I understand your question. If not, let me know which software you are talking about. For Rekordbox as an example, If you are using CDJ3Ks you'll be able to plug and play due to the CDJs built in sound card (standalone or HID mode). However, if you are looking to use DVS, you'll need a breakout box. This will be the case with every rotary on the market I believe besides the digital/analog hybrids like the Eupohonia and the older Rane 2014/2015. Hope that makes sense but feel free to clarify your question if I missed something.
Great question. I still think it's a fantastic mixer and value. Though not my primary mixer (I use and A9 and V10 in studio), I do use it regularly and haven't noticed any issues with build quality etc - which was a concern from early feedback and the fact that the lines are plastic pots. I believe they resolved any questions on pot longevity by making the Warm4 all metal pots.
Hello, just came across your channel liked & subscribe! I have a A9 and looking to go rotary. Ive had so many line fader mixer.. looking for something sexy.. this demo of this rotary looks amazing
Hey thanks for watching and for reaching out. So a few things: 1. I love my V10 more now than the day I bought it two years ago. Between V10 and Euphonia, you can't go wrong with either however, if you are a producer and need a "command center" that is also a bad ass DJ Mixer, the V10 is this one. The V10 is honestly my favorite DJ mixer that I've ever owned so I am super biased here. The A9 is like a super dialed in, modern muscle car. The V10 is like a murdered out Bently that you never thought you needed but couldn't imagine life without it ;) 2. I also LOVE the Xone 96. Like the V10, it has that something special that a lot of mixers in class don't. 3. If you want the feel and sound of a rotary, but with all the new tech (on board EFX, etc), the Euphonia is a great fit and pretty damn sexy. 4. For me personally, the sexiest traditional rotaries on the market are made by Condesa but there are many others that are brilliant (ARS, MasterSounds, Formula Sound, Bozak, etc) One thing you could do from a $ standpoint is pick up an Ecler Warm2 (I have one and love it) or Warm4. It would be a complimentary purchase to your A9 without breaking the bank like some of the other boutique rotaries. Hope this helps and doesn't confuse you even more. Either way, you are on a great path and asking the right questions.
Audio soul project - "back to joy" je croyais être le seul à aimer et écouter encore ce morceau en 2024 après l'avoir acheté. Le mixer sonne vraiment bien: neutre et naturel 💯 Merci 🤩🔥
Definitely not a rack mount standard (19") but appreciate the statement. For the record, my V-10 is almost 2" wider. I also grabbed some specs of the the common mixers in a somewhat similar class if that helps. Let me know if you have more questions. DJM A9 - 16.4" x 18.4" x 4.25" Euphonia - 16.90" × 13.03" x 4.72" Xone 96 - 16.2" x 13.25 x 4.3" DJM V10 - 18.39" x 17.23" x 4.25"
Awesome mixer. Best of the new. And analog sound quality. Pros: 1) most analog rotary mixers do not have a mic input. This does. 2) most rotary analog mixers don’t have built in sound card (except xone96 and mp2015). This does and works with Rekordbox , Traktor and Serato without needing a Motu sound card for example. Easily a $600 saving and no messy audio cables. 3) rotary faders come standard - xone 96 rotary sound kit u need to spend more money. 4) analog VU meters - a nice bonus for metering rather than boring led lights 5) built in isolators - a bonus and nice to have. 6) built in sound effects that quantize - awesome. Kinda like having a 900nxs2 or rmx1000 built in for free. 7) Rupert Nieves transformer- game changer for that nice fat analog sound. For all these reasons this “hybrid” mixer is a game changer. Alpha Theta hit a home run here. For rotary purists who are pissed out soiling their bedsheets (Mastersounds, Isonoe, Condesa etc) the value you get with this mixer and the sound quality and features - its the best in the market. it’s a no brainer. Best mixer I ever owned hands down.😊
Appreciate your thoughts, I definitely agree on the value piece and glad you are happy with your Euponia - it's such a cool mixer and sounds great. Really my only gripe was some of the build quality elements. But to your larger point, this really is a hybrid mixer and bridges two distinct worlds. If one is looking for that stripped down, retro/industrial feel with great sound like Urei, Master Sounds, Condesa etc., they'll want to go a different direction than the Euponia. For me personally, because I own an A9 and a V10 as well as a Warm2, the Euponia would be somewhat redundant. It has actually helped me determine that my my next rotary will likely be a Condesa. Props to Alpha Theta/{Pioneer for taking the risk and innovated like they did here - let's hope it continues. And now that I've had some time on a Euponia, I look forward to seeing it in the wild at any upcomming gigs.
@@seattlehousemafia been following you for decades man, back in the days of club Medusa and backdoor ultra lounge. You really tore the roof off … glad you’re still throwin’ it down.
Good question and very different animals. Both sound great but the Euponia takes it. Amazing clarity in the highs and mids and wild low/ low-mid presence and punch. For the money though, the Warm2 is my favorite bang for the buck to date. If you had the money, you wouldn't be disappointed with the Euphonia. If you are on a budget, you can't go wrong with the Warm2.
@@seattlehousemafia Thank you very much for the quick response. I have the Warm4 and have been seriously thinking about purchasing the Euphonia. Your input is very helpful, Thanks again!!!
Hello Phil, thanks for the mix and the impression of the mixer. May I ask, is this the native sound from your recording, or did you edit anything after recording?
Sorry to hear but it's inevitable. It would be super cool to replace that plastic piece with some stainless or even matching rose gold metal. Really any other material than that plastic crap. Betting there will be some skin options soon enough. How are you liking it besides?
@@seattlehousemafia I love it so far. I have been using it at the end of my live set up chain. I use the outputs on my MPC along with some drum machines and it has been working out great. Overall I am very pleased with the mixer.
Hey good first impression video. And I would say spot on. I happen to be blessed to have owned quite a few different rotaries in the past. Including two separate Master Sounds mixers, an ARS, and a Urei. I’ve also played on the Rane 2015 which was one of my favorites. I sold my Master Sounds mixer the minute I touched the Euphonia. Not because I thought it was better sound wise, but workflow wise with the effects is something quite unique and something that really works well for me. I have some suggestions for improvements to pioneer that I hope can be handled with firmware updates. For example the routing to the isolator is my favorite feature hands down, but I do feel it should be adjustable as to when the effects kick in. For instance, some people might wanna run the isolator and maybe have all the knobs 1 o’clock for overall room equalization. But If you do that, the effect would always be on. unless you have, the button depressed. It just minimizes the flexibility a bit. A user definable option to have them kick in at around 1 or 2 o’clock would be great. I agree on the Shini part two. Although apparently they’ve use some new material that is scratch proof? I believe that when I see it. Until then I’m not putting anything to abrasive on it. But I think it would’ve looked a lot better if they just use the same look as the bottom.
Thanks for jumping in here. I've played on a couple of different Ranes (2015 and 2016) and a Urei but never the others - heard great things though about the ARS and Master Sounds. Also great feedback on the ISOs - my favorite feature as well. I love being able to assign the FX to the ISO and really just having EFX on a dope rotary is a total win. I'm still annoyed they cheaped out on EFX switch. They should've just made it a knob like one of the EQs, but maybe slightly bigger with a rose gold cap - now that would've been classy and felt way better. I'm still unclear if that is a metal or plastic pot - can you confirm? I didn't think about it at the time but yes, if you are using the ISO to eq out the room, it would be nice to have some additional controls so you can use the ISO as a master EQ and as a performance tool at the same time. Maybe even a master EQ setting/lock, where you could essentially set the ISO for room equalization, lock that setting in and then go back and use the ISO as the performance tool. Likely easier said then done but I like how you're thinking about it and think Alpha Theta should prob offer us both a high paying gig. :)
Yeah, for me, the isolators kind of both a musical performance tool, and an EQ at the same time. If you have a record, that’s needs a little touch of high end you can use the iso. And yes, you can also use the channel Ecue for the same thing, but they are slightly different flavor. I might be nitpicking here. I honestly like the way the mixer sounds with all the bands slightly boosted. So I guess that’s where I’m coming from.
Appreciate the feedback, I know it's an easy fix and I have several but I still think it was still quirky placement on the V10. Thanks for watching the review by the way. We really appreciate it.
Don't have access to Denon players but do have CDJ3000 and CD2000JNSX2s. Both sound phenomenal, understandably the 3Ks slightly better (new tech). I ran both via digital in/out. My hunch would be the Denon or any other player with digital out would sound fantastic as well. Have you done a comparison between the CDJ3Ks and the SC600? Though I'm a Pioneer guy, the Denons look really fun and well thought out, just not at all familiar with them.
