Ecler Nuo 4
Ecler Nuo 4 Posted on: 20.05.2013 by Gaynell Rydberg Anyone here own an Ecler Nuo 4 (not 4.0)?Found one for cheap, and I've always wanted to try out an Ecler. I'm not too worried about the channel vu-meters since I can just figure that out by ear. Everything else seems pretty good. I'm more interested in its midi capabilities. I'm having trouble finding anything related to the 4. All I can dig up is 4.0 stuff. I do eventually want to move to CDJs (no laptop), and this has me a bit worried. It seems like its main selling point is its midi mapping. That said, I probably will still buy this since I don't see CDJs in the near future. I've never been extremely big on effects so I haven't really been looking too much into Pioneer DJMs. The Evo 5 did look pretty enticing considering how much it has at its pricepoint. | |

| Gaynell Rydberg 22.05.2013 | Awww nvm.. didn't act fast enough. Got sold. |
| Xenia Gorin 22.05.2013 | I use it with an Audio 8 and an SL3 (mix video with Serato or VDJ) using timecodes. I am now using a DJM T1 but I plan on getting an Audio 10 and putting in the Ecler. |
| Gaynell Rydberg 22.05.2013 | Are you using it with Traktor or stand alone soundinsurgent? It just seemed like the mixer was built for digital which is why I was a little apprehensive about it. |
| Xenia Gorin 22.05.2013 | I've had for the past 6 years and it's one of the best sounding mixers I've used, Ecler mixers arlike the Rane of Spain. Big fat eq knobs, if I w where another one was I'd go buy it right now. |
| Gaynell Rydberg 20.05.2013 | Ah okay thank you. So conflicted I wish my Guitarcenter stocked Ecler so I could actually try out the mixer or some variant of it. |
| Alphonso Deitchman 20.05.2013 | You would never use a mixer like the Nuo, or any other decent MIDI mappable hardware mixer in Internal mode for normal use. If you switch 2+3 to MIDI mode you could map them to control FX for example. Then run your audio through channels 1+4 as usual. You also have the central section that should remain active for MIDI control at all times. |
| Gaynell Rydberg 20.05.2013 | Well from what I'm reading, it only has midi capability for channels 2 and 3. That said, I don't know why you would want to internally mix anyways when you have the external mixer. Do you lose the midi capability when you use the Nuo as an external mixer? |
| Alphonso Deitchman 20.05.2013 | Seems to be 4 endless encoders and 4 buttons. You can map them to pretty much anything you like in Traktor. The 4 buttons would be ideal for loading into the 4 decks you'd have with the Nuo4. |
| Gaynell Rydberg 20.05.2013 | I guess it's just my extreme noobiness when it comes to MIDI. There's not really any buttons on the Nuo 4, so what are you really mapping? Just stuff like a browse knob and maybe controlling Traktor FX etc? |
| Alphonso Deitchman 20.05.2013 | Looks like all the MIDI controls are contained within the silver center strip. |
