Found this petition while googling the xone db4
Posted on: 28.01.2013 by Emerson Crist
I'll be signing this, even though I dont own a DB4, it would be one more reason to save up for one. I dont believe NI will care but at least someone is still trying.

Thats 4 1200's and a mixer that can't scratch to save it's life. Its the 90's rave scene all over again
I also use 1200s with my DB4 and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Plus some people still have CDJs without HID so there's a non-vinylist group that wants timecode control as well. It's true it's probably not going to happen, but these aren't the reasons why.

As for not being able to scratch on the DB4, have you tried? It's not bad at all, though much improved with an innofader. Here's a tutorial on installation with videos before and after the innofader installed; the before is not so bad though the cuts are much sharper after.

Ok, I'll bite. How are you driving time code without a certified card. Running hacked Traktor (not an option for most folk)?

There was a registry hack on windows where you rename the audio card to read 'Audio DJ 8', etc. Have you tried that - seems simpler than using cracked software.

Ok. Fair point.

1. I have been running this set up for about 3 months now without a single crash. So stability isnt an issue for me really.

2. I can see where you are coming from. This computer is a dedicated dj pc. It isn't connected to the Internet. Only to my network whenever I need to transfer tunes to it or mixes off it. It only has windows, audacity, traktor and avast installed. So doesnt really matter what hackers may have put in it (if that does really bother you. Personally I have had no issues with team releases).

In my case it's not moral but more of technical.

#1 Stability
#2 Who knows what other goodies 'the crackers' have added to your Traktor

But to each their own - whatever works for you.
Tamela Batara

See, thats my take on it too. Where is the issue there as long as NI still have their money, and my hardware / software works as I want it to.

What's the moral dilema running a cracked copy if you have a license?
Tamela Batara
28.01.2013
Yeah. Hacked Traktor since NI aint up for certification of the db4. I'd much rather not have to do it like that, but what you gonna do.

Shishdisma, it's not just the mixer that can't scratch to save its life.

Why sir, that looks suspiciously like an extra set of 1210's...







I dont believe it will happen though. Too much in bed with Pioneer for the high end DJ stuff, and bringing their own products to market.

I still have trouble picturing a huge amount of setups consisting of two turntables and a DB4. Scratch certification just doesnt make much sense; besides, it's going to take a lot more cash than a petition can promise to get NI to certify the thing. A&H probably calculated that the aforementioned 2 TTs with a DB4 setup isnt exactly a common option, and opted to spec their own studio-type card rather than deal with NI's standards.

I don't believe 100 signatures is going to sway NI's decision......now if they got 5,000, maybe?
