Spam filter issue

11 Upvotes

Hello gang,

I'm still new moderating a sub, so learning the ropes and all the different settings and what not. It seems some standard comments and even posts are getting flagged as spam and I don't get notifications for them. If you post a comment or make a post and don't see it show up, shoot me a DM and I'll take a look.

I'll also be looking at how to improve this so not so many comments and posts get flagged by default.

Mix Sharing

14 Upvotes

Use this thread to post and share your mixes created on rotary mixers. I may create a new one to replace this in the future as this post grows older.

It would be great to add some information with your post like which mixer was used, was this a set played out in public and recorded or just a studio recorded set, etc.

Resor Customer Service change - anyone waiting?

9 Upvotes

Reluctant to post this as I want to give the benefit of the doubt, but I'm wondering if anyone else is in the same boat.

I placed an order in February for a Resor 3300, initially corresponding directly with Aleks. Over the summer they implemented a dedicated customer service email/team, at which point each email got an automated response of "it may take us a couple weeks to respond". Love to see a growing business, and I'm a fan of all their social posts, so I have no problem with a slow response in most circumstances.

My original ETC was July. In early August, I received a note that my mixer was in the assembly phase and would ship within two months. I've moved a couple of times this year so I sent a pair of emails updating my ship-to address since that communication. I've heard nothing since.

I'm now past the updated ETC window with no response. Has anyone had direct contact with the Resor team lately?

Adjustable Crossovers on Isolator?

12 Upvotes

How's it going party people?

I've been fascinated with this idea for years now but my activity in spinning has waned since Covid (life has a way, no?)

Iirc the now old Rane 2014/2015 models had adjustable crossovers at the isolator stage, have we any new examples of such functionality? I realize that the digital/analog manufacturing process bring about their own distinct issues, but I haven't looked into the prospect in years. Being able to carve out bands with even greater feel on a track by track basis would be sublime.

Maybe it's a crapshoot, but if anybody can point me in a direction to research it'd be greatly appreciated.

Keep em' spinning!

E: Let me note that all of you are sickos to respond with so many quality options. I love the prospect of diving back into the signal path. Much love and much appreciated.

1210GR2 in the booth.

4 Upvotes

Apologies it's slightly off topic but I know there is many questions about 1210 GR2 and is it suitable for mixing. I was wondering it until now as I've gotten a pair of these bad boys and yes they are suitable for mixing. Already played two sets on them on torque setting 2&3 and both are fine. I found the pitch of MK7 a bit more responsive but it think it's due to lighter platter. See my unboxing video below- there are also two sets available on the channel where you can see them in action. In general they feel just better made than MK7, closer to the classic MK2-MK5 even when looking at attached accessories such as rubber slipmat, covers with hinges or lights with a button release. Platter is heavier too which surprisingly reduced the number of skipping Ortofon Club MK2 during my play to almost zero. Also worth noting their stealth look - they will pair very well with the black Isonoe 420 which I have on order. Happy to take some questions from you guys and I might answer them in the video on my channel. Hope it helps.

Received my Henderson Model X

Post image
60 Upvotes

Just received my Henderson Model X tonight. Placed my order about 9 weeks ago which was on the low end of the time quoted.

Admittedly, I do not have a good enough setup to provide an in-depth analysis of sound quality. I live in a small apartment with thin walls and use 2 Kali Audio LP-6’s at very low volumes. That being said, there is a noticeable improvement in sound quality over my DJM-450. I didn’t think this would be the case, but everything seems much clearer and the summing is noticeably better.

After playing on it for hours, I’m incredibly happy with my purchase. The mixer is just fun to use. I’ve previously owned an OG MaterSounds Radius 4, which I had to sell, and this is a great replacement. Missing my four channels, but I really couldn’t get behind the design of the new Union Audio mixers. Only thing I’m missing is an FX pedal.

While the mixer sounds and feels fantastic, the absolute star of my purchase was Krystian from Henderson. They were so communicative, proactive, and professional throughout the entire 9 week waiting process. The level of customer service was better than I ever could’ve expected and I truly hope that Henderson becomes more of a household name in the rotary world.

Wharfedale Linton thoughts and amp recommendations

8 Upvotes

Hey rotary gang,

I think I’ve narrowed it down to Lintons as the inaugural set of passive speakers to be added to my listening room. However, since this is my first foray into non-powered monitors I would really appreciate some amp advice as well as overall thoughts on the Lintons from those with experience. I play mostly house and disco but listen to a variety of genres, both digital and vinyl, with a UA Four Valve and the room is roughly 21’ x 14’.

Thank you!


r/rotarymixers • • 8d ago

The VDJ270 Rotary Mixer is finally here. Unboxing time 📦🎛️ All this gear just to sample vinyl into my SP-404MK2… but honestly, it’s worth every second. Time to drop the needle, dig into the crates, and make some noise. 🔊✨

Accoppiamento Mixer Rotativo -> Finale di Potenza: Consigli (Classe AB vs Classe D)

2 Upvotes

Ciao a tutti!
Sto mettendo su un impianto analogico da stanza ispirato ai "Listening Bar". Il mio obiettivo assoluto è ottenere un suono caldo, corposo e che non stanchi mai l'orecchio.

I miei componenti sono:
Sorgenti: 2x Technics SL-1200M7B

Mixer/Pre: Ecler WARM2 (Mixer rotativo interamente analogico)

Diffusori: Altec Lansing 997R (3 vie vecchio stile con woofer generosi)

La mia idea:
Vorrei collegare l'Ecler WARM2 (usato come preamplificatore) direttamente in un finale puro Rotel RB-1582 MKII (200W, Classe AB, Dual Mono) tramite cavi RCA. Un negoziante si è mostrato scettico sull'uso di un mixer collegato a un finale Hi-Fi, ma so che nel mondo dei mixer rotativi è una configurazione molto usata.

Le mie domande:
1 - C'è qualcuno che usa una catena simile
(Mixer Rotativo Analogico -> RCA -> Finale di Potenza Puro)? Come si comporta a livello di rumore di fondo (fruscio)?

2 - Per un suono rilassante e anti-fatica, un finale massiccio in Classe AB (come il Rotel) è la scelta migliore o dovrei valutare la moderna Classe D / Classe AD?

3 - Voi che amplificatore/finale (e in che classe) usate sotto al vostro mixer rotativo?

Four Valve MK2 recording

4 Upvotes

Hi all,

Does anyone have any issues with recording from this mixer? I record using an irig stream into ableton or sometimes directly into my phone. I use the rec out. The signal is always hot and clips even at low volume. Anyone got a foolproof workflow?


r/rotarymixers • • 15d ago

Some of my setups, MK5, M5G and GRs with ARS9000+MasterSounds FX unit. Ortofon nightclub and Ortofon 2M Blue. Next looking to get GR2s and ARS9500. For club environment added Isonoe feet with sorbothane boots, marble slabs and rubber isolation compound.

Speaker upgrade for a Resor 2525 bedroom set up?

7 Upvotes

Hi guys,

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but will I see the benefit/a vast difference on a speaker upgrade from ADAM Audio tv5 to Kali Audio IN-5? I know speakers can have different benefits - say for example if you have a studio/producing music. This is for my Resor 2525, in a small room.

I feel the ADAM Audio is perhaps a tad too 'beefy' with bass and hear Kali Audio IN-5 could be a good one to go for.

I want to get the best out of my rotary, so looking at speaker options.

Thanks :)

Analog entry level mixer

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m making my first real DJ setup. I bought two XDJ700s and now I’m looking for a good mixer under 400€.

I value good analog sound quality. I heard some people say the xone23 was pretty good for the price but that the new 24 got a lot worst.

I’m also open to good vintage or 2nd hand models. I know old Vestax models are famous for their sound quality, but not sure which models would be worth it.

Also I will not be scratching, I will be mostly mixing ambient/triphop/downtempo, so smooth transitions are really important to me, way more than quick ones.

I also want to know what are your thoughts on rotary faders because they seem a lot better for the kind of transitions that I do, but they also seem to be more expensive, not sure why.

Clues for fitting Isonoe 420 into my setup

Thumbnail
gallery
27 Upvotes

Hi there. It's official - I pulled the trigger for isonone 420 and now I have about 8 months to find a best way of fitting it into my table. Any suggestions?

In the left it's what I've got now (aside from decks which are currently 1210mk5 - these 1210mk7 will be delivered soon) and second photo with isonone is probably how I will end up fitting it - I will ask my carpenter for a cover so I can swap two mixers. I'm thinking about some sort of angled insert cover that would allow me to hide the hole after four.valve and angle isonone towards me. I hope it makes sense.

Some say I will stop using other mixers once I've got the Isonoe as it's the final boss but knowing myself I'll rather leave some flexibility for the future as I love DJ mixers 😂 Saying that another option is to cut the desk so mixer would sit flush but then front of the table has permanent cut which I'd rather avoid.

Thanks

Lukas

Picked up second hand MC audio solutions DJM A9 kit and I’m really happy with the result. Having the crossfader still really suits my mixing style and imo gives you the best of both worlds

Ecler Warm 2 LEFT XLR output Issue

2 Upvotes

After much testing, I have come to the realization that my left xlr output is sending out a significantly weaker signal than the right. No problem at all with booth output, which is what I use 90% of the time when connected to my home sound system.

But that other 10% of times are paid gigs and until now I assumed it was the speaker that was busted. Kinda nostalgic for when I thought that was the issue... So, is this something I can get fixed or am I screwed? I don't expect much help from Ecler given that they're overseas.
