| holstein | hey Zed_ | 02:19 |
| holstein | whats up? | 02:19 |
| holstein | hmmmm | 02:19 |
| crysaz | Hi. Any has anyone played around with Pioneers DJM 5000 mixer? It claims to be a USB audio interface, but I didn't managed to get it working. | 15:56 |
| holstein | crysaz: i have not | 15:57 |
| holstein | did it show up in lsusb? | 15:57 |
| holstein | yeah, i dont even see pioneer @ http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main | 15:59 |
| * holstein doesnt like USB interfaces much anyways | 15:59 | |
| crysaz | holstein: yes and there is a entry under /proc/asound/, but there isn't any pcm device | 16:01 |
| crysaz | me either, but I took a bit of a risk and trusted on advertised standard compliance | 16:02 |
| holstein | crysaz: did you already buy it? | 16:02 |
| holstein | w0w | 16:03 |
| holstein | that thing is expensive | 16:03 |
| crysaz | I do have 30 days to deside am I keeping it | 16:03 |
| holstein | its pretty much a 4 channel line mixer | 16:03 |
| holstein | no preamps | 16:03 |
| holstein | unless your a DJ | 16:03 |
| holstein | and going to take advantage of some of those specialized features | 16:04 |
| crysaz | a bit, but for our klub | 16:04 |
| holstein | 800 bucks gets you a pretty decent mixer | 16:04 |
| crysaz | shame that i'm not impressed with the quality of the electronics | 16:05 |
| holstein | nah | 16:05 |
| holstein | that seems just overpriced | 16:05 |
| crysaz | i send it once back, becouse 3rd channel didn't light up | 16:05 |
| holstein | http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&client=serp&q=behringer+mixer&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=13837850350322521424&ei=LmthTJ-4McK88gaIqpn-CQ&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CFMQ8wIwAg# | 16:07 |
| holstein | theres nothing on that pioneer that i need that this doesnt have | 16:08 |
| holstein | however, the beringer has preamps | 16:08 |
| * holstein is not a DJ though | 16:08 | |
| crysaz | now i have bit odd feeling on those sends and returns. there shouldn't be any cable sensing and i didn't get it on. | 16:08 |
| * holstein says return it | 16:09 | |
| holstein | http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&client=serp&q=line+mixer&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=18097853489972457865&ei=7mphTPSrFoH88AbW66mGCg&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CEkQ8wIwAQ# | 16:10 |
| crysaz | aaaarghh. but it's perfect mixer for my needs! :) | 16:12 |
| holstein | yeah? | 16:13 |
| holstein | whats it do that a line mixer doesnt do? | 16:14 |
| holstein | whats it do that makes it worth $600US more | 16:14 |
| crysaz | decent controls for djing, eq, cues, two stereo outputs and it should work as an audio interface | 16:16 |
| crysaz | and i already have a line mixer. or more like a matrix miser for fixed setup. i am driving our pa with 32-channel live mixer and with this one. | 16:20 |
| holstein | well, if it works for you | 16:22 |
| holstein | but im not going to split hairs | 16:22 |
| holstein | i think that thing is about 500 bucks to much for what it is | 16:22 |
| holstein | but again, i dont DJ | 16:22 |
| holstein | i would think a mixer with a couple different stereo outs | 16:23 |
| holstein | with routing | 16:23 |
| holstein | that would have all that functinality | 16:23 |
| holstein | and be more rugged for the road | 16:23 |
| holstein | that with a cheap USB interface | 16:23 |
| holstein | BUT you might be able to get that pioneer working with linux | 16:24 |
| crysaz | doesn't seem that likely. i couldn't find any threads on this subject. | 16:30 |
| holstein | http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/422094-REG/Behringer_UCA202_UCA202_USB_Audio_Interface.html | 16:31 |
| holstein | those work great from what i hear | 16:31 |
| holstein | plug and play | 16:31 |
| holstein | and cheap | 16:31 |
| crysaz | if i change the setup, i'll propably buy some mid-range firewire interface | 16:39 |
| crysaz | ok. there is somekind of wire sensing present in send&return | 17:24 |
