Xone: DB4- the official unofficial thread

Xone: DB4- the official unofficial thread Posted on: 18.10.2011 by Romelia Stankard (former thread title Xone: DB4- convince me not to sell off my possessions and drain my bank account) I mean it's just a mixer, nothing I should sell my S4 and some other expensive possessions for and drain my bank account completely for... right? I am having a hard time with this decision. I know it won't make me a better DJ, yet it gives me the urge to make irrational spending decisions. Please talk me out of it.

Where did you purchase and what is the damage report? proaudiostar for $2199 shipped I was a little annoyed, I got a quote for $2099 shipped new that they said they would honor for 15 days then said A&Hs prices went up and the best they could do was 2299 new and could no longer honor their quote. I got them to offer 2199, it's kind of annoying but still a good price and $100 doesn't mean too much in the scheme of dropping 2k. They only offered 2199 when it was clear I was about to hang up and after being put on hold to talk to whoever was in charge a few times.

Romelia Stankard 02.11.2011	Ordered it
May Artman 27.10.2011	I'm believeing about getting a DB9. This is obviously relevant.

Jerlene Jernegan 21.10.2011	Ah I know how it feels. I'm new and though my x1 would satisfy me for awhile but I'm craving a Launchpad to map with IG and and crying myself to sleep waiting for the k2
Rolanda Clodfelder 21.10.2011	Bitches love Xone DB4s. You are confused .... Bitches love DB5s
Hipolito Scionti 21.10.2011	I have heard the DB4 makes your cock look remarkably bigger... it's one of the new fx
Romelia Stankard 21.10.2011	Originally Posted by MaxOne What percentage of your desire for the DB4 is based on wanting to show it off on this/other community s and what percentage is wanting it for yourself? Why don't you get it if you promise yourself not to show it here on this community . Then you'll know you haven't got it just to show off, which frankly is a waste of money I bet you a DB4 you post it straight onto the show your set up thread. You may even demand they set up a show your set up community in case the comments get lost too quickly... Don't let random people in the world posting online cloud your believeing. PS. Can't wait to see your DB4 set up It's mostly to use as a pickup line and woo women. Bitches love Xone DB4s.
Branden Wentler 21.10.2011	Daydreaming about the db4 during my work hours.... Don't know what to do with my 92 though. I'd hate to just leave it to gather dust and I just bought an iPad dammit... I believe selling the 92 is an option but I left the original box in the States. xtac you better grab that demo unit because I'm getting antsy on that deal

Romelia Stankard 21.10.2011	Originally Posted by MaxOne Well that went well... basically you've been convinced to buy one haha oh wait i'm confused i forgot what this thread was about, how did this happen?
Hipolito Scionti 21.10.2011	Well that went well... basically you've been convinced to buy one haha
Romelia Stankard 20.10.2011	and now I have 14 days to get $2100. I hope I can sell my s4 quickly and I have $1100 coming in from another sale hopefully.
Kayce Mesia 20.10.2011	Originally Posted by Xonetacular oh fuck me. Time to sell some shit ASAP. So wait they are selling NEW DB4s for 2100? anyone want an S4? You keep your goddamned S4. :P
Romelia Stankard 20.10.2011	Originally Posted by djproben That demo unit is back up on ebay but give them a call and they'll hook you up with a new one; apparently they've got a sale this week only for that price. How do I know? We'll see in a week or so when I accept delivery :-O Yes I finally pulled the trigger after drooling over it for over a year; I'll let you all know how I like the taste of Ramen noodles. I know this isn't helping you in your original goal to be convinced not to buy it, heh.... oh fuck me. Time to sell some shit ASAP. So wait they are selling NEW DB4s for 2100? anyone want an S4?

Odis Stirewalt 20.10.2011	isn't the db4 a fully digital mixer? so the eq's are also "software" like the features on all other dvs (=getting the midi-value from the encoder and calculate the soundchanges fully digital in the dsp's?) or i'm an uninformed idiot? ;D is comparing the analog 92 features with the digital db4 features really reasonable?
Danae Dumler 19.10.2011	Originally Posted by Xonetacular Last week there was a demo unit DB4 from proaudiostar on ebay with a buy it now of $2100 or best offer, i wish i had the cash and they were going to let me do a partial payment but someone snatched it before i could.

May Artman 19.10.2011	I prefer the DB4 EQing over the 92 (or anything else, for that matter). The slope on iso mode is a great fit for me and I love having the ability to isolate specific sounds with filter mode. As for comparing software EQing... There is no comparison. Listened to some old mixes that I did purely on software recently and the difference was much more noticeable than I had expected. EQing with the DB4 is very smooth and the myriad of filter-stacking choices makes it easy to find a style that works for you. As I've said before, its the best mixer I've ever owned, but if you have no intention of using the massive feature set you'd be better served with a 92 and $2000 to spare.
Shala Busso 19.10.2011	Yes buy it, but only so you can add it into your signature
Romelia Stankard 20.10.2011	Originally Posted by Destrukto I know it's a bit like apples & pears, but how does the DB4's EQ compare to the 92's? I believe the 4 band eq is a little overrated. I had a 92 for a while and liked the 3 band 4D eq better. I believe the db4 will blow them both away since it will have a 3 band eq, 3 band issolator, and the hp/lp filter eq which looks really interesting.
Hipolito Scionti 19.10.2011	Originally Posted by fullenglishpint Don't even talk to me about RGAS. I want a DB4 so much, but there's no way I could afford it without selling a kidney. Man... you well don't need a DB4 - look at gear in your sig :eek::eek: Though I know how RGAS is... I well want a DB4
Torie Hollobaugh 19.10.2011	Hey, are there any Xone:92 owners/lovers in this thread? I'm a 4-band addict and would find it extremely hard to part with my beloved 92. But the DB4 is just so awesome. I spent some time time on it, but not nearly enough to get a proper feel for the EQ. I know it's a bit like apples & pears, but how does the DB4's EQ compare to the 92's? I have a spare 2D collecting dust, and if I sold my 92 also I would have enough money for a DB4. But selling my 92 would take a serious amount of convincing, it's like selling a 1200. It's gonna be all down to the EQ section.

Romelia Stankard 19.10.2011	Originally Posted by beatkind i bought a db4 nearly two weeks ago and i have to say its the best mixer i put my hands on... the eq

I'd probably feel a whole lot better if I could've got mine that cheap lol

Romelia Stankard 19.10.2011	Originally Posted by fullenglishpint Don't even talk to me about RGAS. I want a DB4 so much, but there's no way I could afford it without selling a kidney. The hard part is that is is within reasonable reach if I sell a couple things and spend a week's paycheck. I was just hoping I would still be able to keep the S4 but that isn't possible and I'm not willing to sell my Technics. I need to find out if my copy of maschine is Edu or not I can't remember. I have a feeling it is and I'm stuck with it though otherwise that would make things easier since I never use it. RGAS man... I remember when I lusted over the Xone: 4D and finally got it and it was epic. The 4D was an imperfect machine though and the MIDI interface was outdated, the DB4 would be flawless if it were just scratch certified. I love this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnJpI8nSwwo
Tatum Ansaldo 19.10.2011	Don't even talk to me about RGAS. I want a DB4 so much, but there's no way I could afford it without selling a kidney.
Romelia Stankard 19.10.2011	Originally Posted by M.Beijer true story. If I could find a used DB4 for a better price I would be all over it. Sadly I have not seen any good used deals on it yet, not even anyone selling it used in my country.. Last week there was a demo unit DB4 from proaudiostar on ebay with a buy it now of $2100 or best offer, i wish i had the cash and they were going to let me do a partial payment but someone snatched it before i could.
Karyn Horath 19.10.2011	Over the next couple of years I believe the new Thunderbolt interface will slowly start to appear on sound cards and digital mixers. If you've already got an S4 save your money and invest in some new super low latency goodness when that happens. Did that help?
Leeanna Ayla 19.10.2011	Originally Posted by tads Don't get it, save your money. This shit isn't shipping for 2-4 weeks now and those first models are going to be all snapped up and shipped out to big name dj's and clubs. The DB4 has been shipping for over a year now hasn't it?
Phillip Wienk 19.10.2011	Don't get it, save your money. A couple months after you get it, will still be considered "cutting edge" as NAMM rolls around. All the new hype will start firing up shortly about the "next thing" you may want to get that. Wait til after Christmas, it's just about only 2 months away, and then you can listen to all the pre-NAMM hype about the new Pioneer mixer that performs baptisms and serves you toast with butter and jam or whatever. After listening to all that hype you can then decide to buy it. If you do decide to buy it you will probably miss out on any bugs that may pop up in the first generation DB4's. Also, if you start putting money away now you'll have saved up enough money to survive the impending Euro crash and subsequent zombie apocalypse so buying a DB4 won't make you worry about your finances too much.
Mimi Mahaffee 19.10.2011	Originally Posted by Xonetacular is this a real thing? true story. If I could find a used DB4 for a better price I would be all over it. Sadly I have not seen any good used deals on it yet, not even anyone selling it used in my country..
