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.

I know the feeling. I'm debating on adding a set of staton CMP.800's (just to get that analogue feel). Im going to give up smoking cigs and eating out to save the money so I can have them by the end of the year with out dipping into my account and it would possibly do me a bit good for my health too, LOL.

hmm... would buying the db4 help you save money once you get it? stay in mix more (save money)? gig out (make money)? Who knows, give it some time and maybe next year you'll get a nice raise and the price will drop!?

If I got paid half of what I thought I was worth I would be doing pretty good.

18.10.2011		Oh the db4 is super sick and yeah it'll last you a long while no doubt.

I really wanted decks and a mixer back too. I sold em a while back and was happy with my vci. I come into some decent regular work and so just bought the 800, x1 another sl1200 and tsp2. (set up pics in my sig)

That's a fair emount of coin. Are my mixes any better to the outside world?

Nope

I enjoy using it all though but it hasn't really stopped me craving more gear at all.

Already craving the vci400se ean golden edition with mapping

Im a pioneer fanboy and I convinced myself if be happy with a second hand 800... I'm not really. I want a 900.

Half the time I just want to gloat on this community about my set up.
Yeah I feel you. I have a feeling the DB4 will still be top notch for the next 2-3 years at least which is why part of me is saying I want to get it now so I can get some mileage out of it while it still the most cutting edge unit out there, and with the K2s coming out well.... I'm also considering going the used DJM-800/Audio 8 route. I miss having a real mixer more than anything.

The reality is I just like mixing two good tunes together and can certainly do thy with my set up.

Just know that it's RGAS eating you up and will probably do that forever.

Think of yourself as an addict. There is no final hit, each bit hit just makes you want an even bigger hit
