Sample decks?
Posted on: 15.05.2011 by Shelby Butensky
Let me know if you this will work.

I'm using a 2 channel mixer with 2 mic inputs and an audio 8 dj.

Channel 1- Deck A
Channel 2- Deck B

Can I route both sample decks into one of my mic inputs or both?

Nice idea but we're talking about external mixing dude
Shelby Butensky
15.05.2011		Yes, it is.
Kiyoko Wellisch
15.05.2011		Isn't the crossfader disabled when mixing in external mode?
Shelby Butensky
15.05.2011		4 deck mixer would be fine. I just don't really like the idea of a 4 channel. I believe i'm just going to scoop up a djm707.

15.05.2011		forgot, my bad...with a 4 deck mixer would this work? it still gives you the option in external mode

15.05.2011		Right now I have A and C + B and D out through 2 channels. If you map out the volume and the filter with Gain control on C and D, I believe you might have enough control to get them into the mix.

Spend a couple sessions just mixing the eq with filters and you get the idea. hi pass for the hight stuff lo pass for the low stuff.


Maybe you could try one deck and one sample deck, and just copy samples for the out going track and load up the new track in the deck.

14.05.2011		Alright. Thanks for all the help man.
Kiyoko Wellisch
14.05.2011		Maybe, I don't know. I doubt it but hey it might work.
Shelby Butensky
14.05.2011		ah okay, thanks for explaining. If I was to ad an inline volume control of some sort or some type or reducer to reduce the sensitivity and reduce my internal sound level. It would work maybe? Or is it still going to be nuts?
Kiyoko Wellisch
14.05.2011		It has a mic pre amp on it so the much louder line level output from the sound card will clip HORRIBLY. Like insanely. Go try it.
Shelby Butensky
14.05.2011		Damn, I guess I'll just have to start searching with something with a session in or something.

This is what I read in the manual. I guess I still don't understand completely why just running into the mic channel won't work even though its not a line input being its the same impedance and all. I'm kinda new to this so if you can explain why it won't work that would help a lot. Sorry If I just keep repeating myself.

Line/Aux: 10kΩ input impedance, 5.6mV rms sensitivity for 1.0V output
Mic: 10kΩ input impedance, 1mV rms sensitivity for 1.0V output

14.05.2011		Looks like you're going to have to upgrade your mixer

OR

get a tiny mixer and route the samplers + the master from the DJ mixer into that one.
http://www.dv247.com/studio-equipmen...e-mixer--34407 <-- That kinda crap. I'm not gunna vouch for this product. It's just the cheapest mixer that came up.

Yeah I know I can do it that way, but really don't want the sample decks to be controlled with the crossfader.

14.05.2011		Sounds like carl has the only sensible solution.

14.05.2011		I don't believe you can. It just says on/off/talk.
Kiyoko Wellisch
14.05.2011		Like I said, only if you can set the mic input to line level.
Shelby Butensky
14.05.2011		I know that I can have them in the line in the rear and switch back on forth between that on the phono/line or have them routed to channel 1/channel 2 along with the decks but I don't want them to be controlled by the crossfader. I just want them on all the time.

This is what im believeing. RCA to 1/4 inch input into the mic input. Would it work?
Kiyoko Wellisch
14.05.2011		Only if you can set those inputs to line level.
