Allen & Heath Xone:3D

The best choice for use with Traktor DJ studio. Especially if you own a Mac. I am the User at home, just for fun ...

UTILIZATION

The installation is not "easy". Especially if you plan to use it with four decks. As an "all-in-one", we must parameterize the sound card from the utility "Audio MIDI Setup". Then follow the instructions (in English). If you have not made the Shift. galley is ... Finally when it works is the big foot!

SOUNDS

Get drivers requires a connection to the manufacturer through the no. Serial table. There is a recent shift to the table and two for the software (if you use me as a DJ studio 3.2.2).

OVERALL OPINION

Difficult for me to compare with anything else. Some friends (DJ, them ..) took the time to discover the new ways to mix completely "digital". They quickly agreed that it is very easy to control 4 decks, synchronize it, do loops, etc. ...
If you know the table (the top is to make yourself the assignment of orders) and the software, then it is much more reactive than 2 CD patinas. One can easily spend several beaches change in seconds. They must know your music inside out. If so, you may have the ultimate weapon to make your remix "live" ... The dance floor will love it!

very convenient console sound card midi controller integrates an all in one short, greatly simplifying the club installations or outdoors a usb cable and go!

high quality eq and analog outputs and the filter is in short one in the accuracy Allen and Heath nothing to do with a pioneer to my taste.

UTILIZATION

Drivers That was a m. .. At first I thought I would sell it! Not stable. But the firmware updates have arrived and it was better but I must say that Allen and Heath is not the sound card manufacturer to see AC! and you can hear the xone 3D is good but they really made an effort on the 4D level of quality converters, AC has nothing to do! Good for the live is more than enough but still, who can do more ...

SOUNDS

Implementation was horrible! bad point to Allen & Heath (then 2007) for their drivers!

I also had some problems with the south but were subsequently resolved. It's like when you buy a Mac it is best to wait a bit after the first series!

OVERALL OPINION

I resold for xone 4D, which is wonderful! But for those who want to acquire a console for half the price of 4D go for it you will not be disappointed and it is very convenient!
