Convince me to buy a Z2 pls
Convince me to buy a Z2 pls Posted on: 07.01.2013 by Hipolito Scionti I'm seriously tempted to buy this Z2 mixer. Sort of ticks every box other than it's not made by Rane, Pioneer, or A+H which ordinarily would be the only mixers i'd buy.I sold my DJM800 with the intention of buying a DJM900... but I've found that i got my S2 mapping with 2.6 so that i'm really happy with it and haven't felt urgently like replacing my mixer. Also i moved house so my techs are in a cupboard. But I kind of want to set em up again and need a new mixer. Seems a bit unnecessary to spend | |

| Beverlee Bedrin 10.01.2013 | I've been considering buying the Z2 as well. Two things turn me off about it though. One is that it doesn't have a send/return, and the other are those small round buttons. I have a S4 and the browser button and one of the effect bottons wore out after about a year of use. Another one has an LED that had given out. The buttons still engage, but I gotta press them very firm in order to make them work. If the Z2 has the same buttons, then that kills it for me. |
| Toya Myall 10.01.2013 | I just got one and spent ages agonising about what to get. I'm really happy with the purchase - great mixer, amazing traktor integration, cheap as chips for what you get, top notch build quality, solid performance. |

| Grady Weinkauf 08.01.2013 | I enjoy my Z2 a lot, I had a Rane TTM57, so getting another standalone mixer was key for me since I didnt really like the set up of external sound card. Faders and access to remix decks were the reason I made the purchase of my Z2, also the fact that I sold like 4yr old Rane Mixer and was able to put that money into a brand new warrantied NI Mixer and make my switch to Traktor all at the same time. Price was AMAZING, I was expecting it to be in the $1200+ range considering all other standalone mixers are normally in that price range. |
| Dick Korus 08.01.2013 | Volume knob cue mix knob and two routing buttons. (a and b) |
| Hipolito Scionti 08.01.2013 | Anyone know how the track preview thing would work on Z2? On my DJM800 i had a channel dedicated to previewing from my Audio 10... How you preview songs on Z2? Does it just come through the cue anyway? Cheers, Mx1 |
| Dick Korus 07.01.2013 | LOVE my z2! Very solid controller/Mixer in my opinion compared to the rest of the NI products. They stepped it up with this one. The faders are amazing. I have not personally owned any TOP OF THE LINE mixer, so I cant compare, but its really solid. Just be sure to get a microfiber cloth if you go with it, the thing has that NI glossy top pannel and it gets a bit dirty. |
| Ervin Calvery 07.01.2013 | I really like my Z2. I might have chosen a much more expensive mixer like the DB4 if I had already had an Audio 10, but it was a great deal considering I didn't own a mixer or DVS at the time. |
| Tashia Mcdunn 07.01.2013 | There's a few eye opening experiences for me djing... going digital in the first place was one of them. Then using a kontrol s2 was another. The z2 is the most recent and most impactful. I find myself having a lot more fun mixing and spending less time fighting the software to do what I want. I bought it believeing it would just save me from having to squeeze my soundcard in my flight case anymore. But what I found is that its really changed the way I feel about djing in a good way. I'm more than happy with the purchase. |
| Tatum Ansaldo 07.01.2013 | NI may release replacement top panels like they have for Maschine, since they're only attached magnetically. I'd say go for it, I was amazed when i first heard the price of the Z2! |
| Merideth Garnder 07.01.2013 | With Audio 10, I say stick with your plans on purchasing the DJM900 Nexus. I use it currently with Ableton and CDJs and love every bit of it.... After making my transition to more residencies, I've been slowly moving away from Traktor since most clubs here in Los Angeles use Pioneer gear as standard gear . I just plug in USB or laptop if a club has the 900 and I'll use my Audio 8 (Audio 10 for you) if the club has DJM800 or equivalent (usually the case). |
