Xone: DB4- the official unofficial thread

I'm serious, just wait. I almost got it working last evening there just needs to be a couple tweaks to get the stickers and firmware update process right.

Alright guys I have an idea on how to scratch certify the DB4, I believe I can get it working.

So I'm asking myself, what's the difference between a scratch certified mixer like the DJM-900 and the DB4? Well nothing really, just a little code injected from NI and a Traktor Scrtach Certified sticker. So I'm believeing, I've got an Audio 8 DJ and I'm just going to hook up the A8DJ to the DB4 and suck the scratch certifiediness right out of it into the DB4 through a firmware update, slap on a scratch certified sticker, say a prayer, and if all goes well I'll have a scratch certified DB4 ready to go. I'll make a video of the process, let's hope this works.

This is perfectly normal behaviour for there to be a bit of noise on the analogue inputs.
My db4 has it too, as has every other mixer I have owned however the db4 is much quieter than most. My djm800 had about 10 times more noise through the headphone channel even when using the digital inputs! The digital and USB inputs on the db4 are totally silent.

But I do have something else that I never encountered or checked with the old unit. I notice that when I have music running on a channel, the fader up, master down to zero, the headphone at zero, I can hear the track faintly playing in my headphones. The headphone setting is at +0.0.

I can come to conclude/justify a reason in my head IF this is a design feature, BUT do any of you have this?

Usually when you have the headphone volume at zero you shouldn't be able to hear anything.

For the guy who posted the dodgy mixer comment.... I agree.

I'm believeing I shoud return it and get a full refund while I still can. Then wait a year, because I still love how the mixer sounds.

Bloody hell these things are dodgy...

Chiming in here to add my DB4 to the injured reserve list - getting a lot of noise on the right channel of the master XLR out. No idea what kind of process I need to go through to get it repaired/replaced, but I assume it won't be quick or easy, especially if I have to mail it across the pond.

Some of mixarchitekts subliminal messages from his cat may have some part in i..

I'd just like to point out that this thread is probably single handedly responsible for this: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-1...increased.html

I have to say, i see quite few people complaining about the DB4 not being certified on DJTT but i dont see you all on the NI community making concise and well mannered suggestions that it is.

Yeah mate get involved in the community discussion. Its quite long now.
Its true that NI dont live and breath in the community but Mixarkitect posts a lot and the more people post the better.
Obviously we dont want "Just f*cking certify it already" kinda posts, but im sure some of the good debate that is posted on DJTT would help to be on the NI community as well.

Andy C using the DB4 is a huge reason for NI to revisit the subject of certifying it. A&H are aware of this as i discussed this very thing with Andy Rigby-Jones.

I have to say, i see quite few people complaining about the DB4 not being certified on DJTT but i dont see you all on the NI community making concise and well mannered suggestions that it is.

Dont get me wrong, you shouldnt have to do it !!! (get that point before you rail at me). But, it all helps to add to the clamour for Certification.

Im still under the impression that when the DB2 comes out A&H will have approached NI to certify it and the DB4.

I just got my Audio 8 in the mail, as I hook this monstrosity of wires up to the DB4 words can't describe my disappointment with NI right now.
