THEY'RE JUST TOO DAMN SEXY TO TAKE OUT OF THE HOUSE. Who would want to lug this bad boy to a club? You have no idea how many more gigs I have been able to get because I have the portability of the 57TTM. Now, I've pre-ordered the S4, and I plan on taking it out with me for sure! Just my two cents, to anyone that waited to see what A&H came out with before making any sudden purchases. Think about the true usability. PS. Is there ANY midi on that thing? -PL>Y |

| Leeanna Ayla 30.09.2010 | Staggered EQ's suck for those that can turn two EQ knobs with one hand at the same time. |
| Tyisha Towle 30.09.2010 | Looks very expensive... mind you, if it's essential to my workflow, price probably wouldn't matter. Nice piece of kit though! A rear panel shot would be nice, but that'll probably be out before the end of the week. |
| Mammie Charpia 29.09.2010 | BAM!!!! |
| Tyisha Towle 21.09.2010 | The S4's 1:1 tactile integration with its software is a big sell for me... curious to know how any competitor can step to that... kinda like the way the NS7 works with Itch.... there's something to be said for a system that works "out-of-the-box". Having said that, I'm still baited by A&H's teaser..... although I'm somewhat less anxious knowing I probably can't afford whatever it is. |

| Caitlyn Scarantino 21.09.2010 | A&H just need to lose the long throw buttons, thats maybe one thing thats stops me from buying the DX, besides the price, the fact the S4 is coming out and now the DB. So many choices to wage. |
| Shala Wohletz 21.09.2010 | They would kill the controller market with decent sized touch/jogs with vinyl mode and the rest of the a&h lovleyness. |
| Geri Krieger 20.09.2010 | |
| Jacquiline Dua 17.09.2010 | I have mine preordered from a place that regularly sells A&H. They dont have it in the system yet,... but now im in line... the second it is available for preorder. Some products you can buy blind.. This will be the case for me on this one... been sitting back forever on getting an all in one device |
| Charleen Duesenberg 17.09.2010 | I believe It make for Ableton Live maybe no Jog Wheel but Come with 8,16 led buttons/deck like X1 |
| Julissa Serrone 17.09.2010 | i doubt it will have jogs. This will just be a 4 channel analog mixer, with midi capabilities. Think Serato + Bridge with no other midi device. Or TSP with no X1. |

| Shala Wohletz 17.09.2010 | might even have touch sensitive jogs hopefully |
| Julissa Serrone 17.09.2010 | a midi cable, some xlr's, and 4 sets of out cables. Looks like this will be a midi bases 4 channel mixer to compete with mixers in the Rane 68 category. Too many controllers in the market right now, not enough fully capable midi mixers. This could be good. |
| Charleen Duesenberg 17.09.2010 | Go to Xone.co.uk |
| Jacquiline Dua 16.09.2010 | If.. and thats still a big IF... its an Ableton Bridge/serato itch controller... Then you have a controller with a streamlined workflow that can probally end up being the first generation all in one combo. So if you own no other controllers to compliment it, then its probally a nice kit to use. Chances are youll have other stuff to add to it and yes you will have more control but still be back to square one with all this stuff to optimize and configure to your style which will change the moment something new comes out. Still a big IF... Im using ableton more and more... and can see where this would be nice to have/use.. but I kind of am happy with the other controllers Im starting to get some use with.. and am wondering if the DB4 is DX sized or something like the 4d meets an akai apc 40. I love to speculate |
| Danae Dumler 16.09.2010 | well now we know what DB stands for I guess ;P |
| Jacquiline Dua 16.09.2010 | http://en.audiofanzine.com/other-mis...ay,n.7715.html there we go... one teaser image ah it doesnt like to be hotlinked someone suggested this will be related to an itch/ bridge controller |

| Jacquiline Dua 03.09.2010 | lol, they should let a 100 of these loose in the A & H office |
| Random X 03.09.2010 | LoLz |
03.09.2010 | goddammit, what's with all the hyped-up craziness every time some new toy comes out... you know what you look like? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFqeWTfVi3I |

| Jacquiline Dua 01.09.2010 | why doesnt someone in the UK call that shop and ask about the product? seems like this could lead to some more info.. im holding off ordering a DX just because of this possibility there is something better... the DX imho is not good because of not being able to use it without a computer |
| Random X 01.09.2010 | LoL, nice one Rokku! Honestly, I hope it's a cheaper version of the DX, without the integrated soundcard. |
| Jacqulyn Shoemo 02.09.2010 | Google image search returns lots of this, so it looks like a full DJ booth solution. You have drawers for your gear, lots of big dials on the front (probably endless encoders), and what looks like 5 touch sensitive jog wheels...very sweet...must be for the mobile DJ. |

| Roselle Mcnaul 30.08.2010 | Its a typo, thats just an audio patch bay which can be rack mounted in top of a mixer for modular connectivity with audio sources. Its on their website if you look. |
