  • VAYA ANGUSTIA

    

  • assassino

    

  • lol compared to the DB4 , this is such a waste , lol people are trying to sell them for 700 barely used

  • @GrafPsychofarmaca I believe i read somewhere that the jog wheels are not designed to be able to scratch with.

  • @TheAlbinojew You have read correctly sir, the jog wheels cannot be used to scratch, however the 4D is scratch certified with traktor pro/duo. So if you spend some bucks and get some 1200s/1210s you'll be running like a beast :D

  • this video is utterly useless. Bro, check our MrCuss's Xone 4D videos and take notes.

  • @organic79 ok, thanks Maestro

  • @organic79 Those are useless too... everyone on youtube uses a 2700 dollar mixer the same way they can use a 400 dollar mixer....

    Some of us use it for more in depth uses like.. actual live sets... using all the midi controls... There are very few of those on youtube unfortunately

  • @GrafPsychofarmaca what comes with the Xone 4 in the box? What softwares could younuse it with? Does it work with Virtual DJ OR any of those?

  • @foxIIbassoonist

    Hi, when I bought it, A&H doesn't give any software. I think actually is the same. Indeed you can use any software who work with MIDI protocol, like Traktor (any release), Virtual Dj, Serato or Ableton Live, just waste some time to assign any function to relative knob, slider or switch. Have fun... cheers.

  • @Mark66m I thought that was good and that controller is dope..don't listen to the haters

  • @MrJonesgg

    thanks man...

  • Don't worry I'm not here to criticize, you look scared of your decks, you don't need to constantly be next to them. Maybe practise a lot more before you release a video that way you won't receive as many haters.

    A Xone 4D is a powerful thing I know as I have one. Just relax and do your thing.

    Hope this helps.

  • @Adz1184, I don't care who criticize without read all about the video. Just to remember, don't worry isn't for your post, I do this video more of 3 years ago, few days after buy it, without any experience with controllers... I do it to share my first experience... so I don't understand why some people hurt me with these posts. I think these people speak on envy... if not, I'll ask to those people to accept my apologizes... :)

    Peace..

  • @Mark66m I bought a Xone 4d today, and I wonder how to use the jog wheels to scratch in traktor scratch pro? I can select stuff in the directories with it but it won't affect any playing deck at all no matter what I seem to do... Any suggestions?

  • guys...let this guy go...ig he have fun at this what he is doing , than its all right....

  • No one forces you (and anyone on earth) to see this video, if you dislike, don't see it, it's easy... I think. Take it easy. Cheers.

  • You are missing the point...and you don't need to use foul language....The main point is : Why on earth did you make a video since you clearly have no idea of what you are doing? Back to what I was saying, you are wasting people's time....and probably yours as well! Capisci?

  • You clearly don't know what you are doing!...Waste of time of your time and...mine!

  • @Gabalonsom

    I'll reply to you and all others who dislike this video:

    first of all, I do this video after one week I buy the 4D. I never used a controller before, nobody in my town or nobody who I know help me to discovery this "beast". I'm italian, english isn't my language. Traktor's and 4D's manual wasn't in italian. So, if anybody don't like what I do 2 years ago, please excuse me, go to others demo videos and please VAFFANCULO (everyone translate in his language). Sorry for my poor english

  • @Mark66m prety good mix, and wasn`t marked as tutorial so you didn`t have to apologize to them.

  • You clearly don't know what you are doing!...Waste of time

  • in the mapping what on the 4d is used as the pitch faders

  • hey do u mind if you could export your TSI file and send in to my email.. i have xone 4d and tractor pro version 1.2.4. please email to indgrnd@yahoo.com. thanks bro.

  • @indgrnd

    Hi, you can download it in A&H's website, go to 4D page and click on "downloads/docs" and you find all you need... let me know... bye ;)

  • seems like he play without heart :(

  • lol poser. I feel bad for your 4D. It must be humiliated right now

  • @OmniVisionElite

    I feel bad for you, envy is a bad thing...

  • @Mark66m nicely said haha

  • horrible mix.....

  • @tombizzurt

    bae e caca...

  • ALLEN & HEATH 4 LIFFFEEEEEEE

  • i dig the old fashion techno sound, the 4D looks like a mothership

  • lol wtf you throwing those faders for?

  • Good show! And to see it doesn't take much equipment to get a groove going is awesome! Thanks for posting this.

  • @robertoluque :

    Thanks man... hope you enjoy this:

  • After reading a few of the last comments this seems like a really controversial question but its one ive gotta ask, basically im a guy who wants to start djing and i dont know whether to opt for the xone 4d or a pair of cdj400s with a djm400 mixer. Anyone guide me on what to opt for? Thanks

  • does this mix exist as a download? love it!

  • @SlayerWTBG

    Uh... unfortunately no... but... maybe I'm working for new stuffs... ;-)

  • @SlayerWTBG

    not the same stuff... but mine:

  • @djfusion:

     Speedy J - Red Shift

    :)

  • @djfusion 8 Bit Romance (Radio Slave s Deepest Space Remix) - FLORIAN MEINDL.. I AGREE!! !It's EXCITING!!!! enjoy it!!! :D

    I LOVE RADIO SLAVE FROM MEXICOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

  • IO sto impazzendo Traktor pro ad un certo punto inizia a friggere ( mi hanno detto che sono i file con bitrate basso ) lo xone4d che ho viaggia benissimo,volevo configurare una mappatura per poter usare simultaneamente sia i cdj400 e sia i controller del mixer ,a volte penso sia colpa del portatile ma è nuovo è un satellite toshiba con win7 originale probabilmente sono conseguenze doovute alla mia incapacità e ignoranza

  • Purtroppo non posso esserti di aiuto... Ho un macbook pro 17" con osx 10.5.8... ti sei iscritto al forum del 4D?

  • Che tipo di mappatura usi ?

  • Uso Traktor studio 3.3.2 con la mappatura NI... sul Pro mi da troppi casini... si blocca, dovrei trovare il tempo (e la voglia) di rimappare tutto...

  • you are so slow XD

  • replay it at 2x... maybe you like

  • PPL hatin coz u have pimp gear! Respect , coz the thing is: with shitty gear you maximize yourself in like month , but with good gear , there is no limit

  • ehmm you know that the blue led´s shouldnt light? ...

  • Well - I'm having a hard time finding a comprehensive answer to a set up question I have so I'll ask here and see if anyone bites. I've been spinning on 3 1200's for @ 24 years now. After a 15 year club hiatus I wanna get back in. I do have skills so I am not a newbie, but am new to Traktor and the Xone 4d. I think the technology has caught up to what I've been trying to accomplish all along. Would Traktor / Xone 4d / MacBook work as a total set up for long mix / 4 deck mixing?

  • And does traktor allow you to pre beat map or do you have to rely on a sync algorythm for automated beat matches? I ask because I like to use a lot of of different source material / styles, some of which have wild pitch and pattern changes. Thanks to anyone for in advances any responses.

  • Traktor work fine on many styles, but I think it's no pretty good on old style, like Kool & the Gang, Chic... you know? ;), because drum parts are human played, with no precision like a drum machine...

    (hope you understand my poor english)

  • Well - some would suggest that Serato handles this better, but Traktor claims they are working on this for the next release. I really want the 4 decks though. Honestly, I'm starting to really think critically about what direction to go. The Xone 4d w/ a mac just seemed like it would be highly mobile, and since every club is set up different now, that might be nice. Wild beats for the time being will require some work..

  • Of course yes... You can do unlimited time gigs, I see R.Hawtin and C.Liebing work for many hours with four tracks... That's the power of 4D... :) You just create your mapping file and... have fun. Cheers..

  • that was such a waste of money for you to buy that

    you're not using it to its full potential at all

    you might as well just have to decks and a mixer that cost mo more than 300 euro or sumthin

  • bla bla bla bla... envy is a bad thing... ;)

  • @Mark66m being bad at djing and wasting your money is a bad thing

    im a small time dj and i have a hercules mp3 e2 and traktor which i downloaded illegally

    all around?

    it cost about $50

    and im still better than you

  • ok, thank you for your lessons... now, would you go far away from my balls... and end with your bullshits, maestro?

  • I´m thinkig about getting one, but because of some difficult tracks I need to be able to mix without sync in traktor pro, is this posible with Xone 4d?

    can I use the jog wheels to correct the mix?

    Are they precise for this way of mixing?

    can I use the jog wheel also to control the track like in "Vinyl mode" to quickly locate the cue point?

    hopefully somebody can help me, I can´t find this info anywhere

  • Hi, everything you ask is possible, but the jog wheel is very sensible, so you need practice to use it. Maybe you can expand the waveform on deck to feel better the vinyl mode. You can locate on the fly a lot of cue points, recall with a switch or, pushing another switch, search it with the jog... Hope you understand my poor english... Ciao

  • @Mark66m Thanks a lot for your help!!

    your english is good, no problem with that.

    I´m going to buy one for sure now

    Thanks again!!

    see you!!

  • I'm getting this beast in about two weeks. I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!

  • mark66, i'm running tpro with a vci-100 and audio kontrol 1 , what do you use for pitch bend/tempo adjust and can set a midi button on the 4d to "sync", i thinking of getting a 4d but the vci lets you mix manually using the pitch fader ( the fun bit ) . smooth blends by the why, matt

  • Hi matt, I use the buttons on traktor's deck window, with autosync you don't use it ever, just in case if the track that you are playing is not "regular"... :)

    hope you understand... ciao

  • hey very cool techno mix , you gave me some ideas , and made me want to buy the xone even more!

    cheers!

  • ;-)... thanks man...

  • that mixer is raw with some cdjs and traktor

  • you suck learn how to mix

  • aha aha aha... ok, masterwanker...

  • you don't seem to know what you're doing

  • you have some mixes better??

  • Show us your mix then? Douchbag

  • Comment removed

  • Hi Dean, if you are starting to mix, the best way, I think, is learn with turntables... Of course, is only a suggestion...

    Cheers

  • Yea, but I think i'm going to get into the Realm of digital dj'ing, as it suits my lifestyle (working on a superyacht as crew).. I have used turntables in the past and am 'ok' at beatmatching.. i hear the 4D is quite easy to use after spending some time on it, do you agree? Thanks for the reply :)

  • i envy you! the 4D is a beast!

  • eh eh eh... ;)

  • where did you get the overlays?

  • Go to A&H website, check the 4D page and go to downloads and you find all you need, blank overlays, drivers, midi maps... I print it with an A3 printer, and with a good scissors I do all... :D after it I use a plastic laminator... have fun...

  • 3 decks on ableton or traktor?

  • Four decks on traktor...

  • @Mark66m The best man!!!

  • Thanks man...

  • Awesome, I didn't realise it could control up to 4 decks at any one time! I thought it was only 2!!! ...I've been wanting this mixer since it came out!!! Very good bit of kit!

  • Thanks man... :)

  • un 10 al mixer! uno 0 al dj!

  • mi piacerebbe sapere il motivo... semplice curiosità. grazie

  • ciao ma qst mixer può funzionare anke senza cdj?

  • ciao, certo...

  • Mark, where did you get that case for your Allen & Heath Xone:4D? I'm looking to buy one exactly like that for mine. Can you give me the website where you purchased that please? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • Sent you a note on your youtube page.

  • Hi, the case is the same created by ZOMO for the 3D model, fit almost well, you just put in the bottom of the case something for leveling the phone/mic plug to the little window in front of the case...

    hope you understand my poor english... ciao

  • just for people that dont understund the sync with the xone

    well there is a sync botton in traktor

    but you can have the same botton like a cdj 1000 or even a cdj 2000 if you want

    i use a nob for the pitch it work almost the same with training

    and mixing in cdj become a peace of cake

  • is it not boring using the synq button? i mean anyone can do that

  • Jack dooner! face it , its the future ! technology has gotten better , like why not use sync if all tops dj;s use and it sounds better !

  • It's just my opinion and i'm entitled to my say and opinion....

    I believe pc dj'ing is the future but not the synq button. I mean who wants to stand in a huge stadium listening to a top dj when what the dj is doing any stranger can do... Pointless.... That's my opinion

  • its not all about sync anymore , its about the effects u put the build up to another song with a few vocals added in that people know, Man ye cant say this ahah!!!

    but !! Whos wants to goto a stadium and listen to a top Dj with outa sync beats ! even though he is a top dj beat matching is gettin harder with modern songs !

    and im sure that beatmatchin in that vid would be alot better than yours ;)! (Y)... my opinion !

  • Why are you saying that the synq in this vid is better then my real manual mixing.. you have never heard me mix before in your life.... I make mix's for all the top trance lables, itwt etc etc.....

    i use an expensive pioneer setup which probably will never be able to afford so think again mate, you can use the synq button and think your the best, but athe end of the day, you're nothing but fake and a loser... in my opinion! Don't bother replying, i've better things to do... loser ;)

  • we pass that time people care about the result not how many bottons u touch while u mixe

    and with the xone u can do it manualy as well

    and it gives u time to do more than just beatmatching

    but at this level you care about harmony and u can use loops something that u can not trust a cdj from pioneer to do for u on live

  • show me one of your mixes and ill be the judge of that !

    wat de ye want a blue peter badge and mate ill stick to xone4d and pioneer efx 1000 with my apple mac and m audio midi keyper and my mpc 40 and i find thats a great setup , not even the best ! deadmau5 uses the xone 4d with abelton and so do i!

    fake loser , ahaha wise , stop pretending to be someone ure not !

    and sync dsnt mean ure shite ! its technology , if its there use it ! and im sure many ppl will agree with me !

  • @montyladd Deadmau5 doesn't mix for a start! And you'll find that most professional dj's still mix instead of pressing the sync button!

  • @freeformation sorry Deadmau5 :O?

    why , wats to say that he dsnt mix ?

    aye thats some professional Dj's , but come on you know and i know that the majority of dj's use sync man ? as bad as it seems , but its the truth :\??

  • @montyladd You quite obviously don't know much about deadmau5, in HIS own words he is an artist not a DJ and has previously called all DJ's cunts before, so it's pretty safe to say if you put him in front of a pair of decks he wouldn't know what the fuck he's doing. And all the DJ's I know hate it, they think it takes the fun part away from mixing

  • @freeformation

    How the fuck do you think Deadmau5 started off you faggot !!!

    he hardly just got up one morning and decided to make a song ????

    Mon then big man ! well get a mix ryt , you pick a well known song and well both mix them with anyone song of our choice and then well let the public decide , but we both have to agree on song! ??

  • @montyladd Deadmau5 is a producer....not a DJ, before he was famous he wasn't spinning in clubs trying to get himself a name, so yeah basically he got up and decided to make a song one day.... Hahahaha I'm not interested in a competition with a Mau5 fanboy, learn about some proper DJ's like Laurent Garnier!

  • @freeformation aaaa come on man , how do you know ! im not saying i know , and if ure right , well ure right , but at the end of the day , deadmau5 started out as a young Dj mixng and playing other peoples tunes , how do you think he got the ear for his music ??

  • @montyladd he started doing his live shows after his productions started to get big and people started wanting to see him play, he's the first to say he's an artist, quite controversially as well he's said before all DJ's are cunt's who get famous by playing other peoples music. I'm sure there will be loads of shit about it on the net somewhere

  • @freeformation

    so if deadmouse thinks its shit mixing other peoples music , why did he come to the uk and mix harder better faster stronger by daft punk ???? and he also remixed calvin harris im not alone ?????

  • @montyladd there his own remixes....he has produced them.....

  • @freeformation still remixes :D!

  • @montyladd deadmau5 thinks people who don't make music themselves shouldn't be mixing other people music

  • @SICKHEADCENTRAL . Thats because deadmau5 is a wanker

  • @djiseb i agree :)

  • @montyladd I hope you're kidding about having a mac

  • and i use abelton live and it dsnt have any sync features but i use traktor the odd time and let me tell u ladd, its handy !

    what do u have better to do ? im 15 and id have more d do than you ;)!

    and i wouldnt mind hearing one of ure songs and if your good ! fairplay , ill agree with you ! ill not deny that !

  • what a douche.

  • and btw.. the synq button isin't that great... as you can hear in the video, the beat is always off that little bit, so sounds bad, best to keep manual when it comes to beat matching/mixing...

    again.. my opinion..

  • that's just if whoever's mixing is too lazy to beatgrid their tracks properly ahead of time.

  • u can do it manualy but it gives time for effects loop and harmony

    so its not boring

  • vas a fundir la mesa, valla clipeos en azul chico, azte 1 curso de EQ

  • english or italian please... no habla espagnol... I don't like

  • jaja...ad+ d verdad o aprendes a ecualizar o la mesa t dura dos dia con antes de ayer...

  • translate please

  • Mark - Mattlines401 is basically asking what do you use for "sync" button on the 4D and what do you use for time/pitch shift ( +/- speed for tempo). At least that's what I made out of it. Basically if you can map those to the 4D - since you can have over 100 combinations on the 4D just tell him you can map it to whatever you like, lol.

  • Thanks mate... I use the +/- buttons on traktor window, with trackpad (or mouse), because I use traktor studio, not PRO... the configuration files by NI or A&H does'nt work well... I hope in a new release...

  • @Mark66m he say ...you are boostng all the knobs of your EQ's and thats is not correct :)

  • thanks famadj...

    so... we have a new master dj: tomme19...

    ahahahahauhauhaaa

  • How do u control the pitch? i dont see any pitch sliders?

  • I use Traktor with four decks... in autosync mode. You can set the bpm master tempo and Traktor keep the same bpm on every track.

  • doesnt happen anything? :P

  • what you mean?

  • Nice mix mate!

    check out my setup if your like let me know want

    you think!

    Also what case is that you`ve got?

  • Hi Matt... thanks for your invite, I check your amazing setup soon...

    I have the ZOMO (3D model) case... fit well and protect perfectly...

    Ciao ;)

  • I heard it's not great for the fron tmic controls etc. What do you think about this , build quality and protection please Mark66m?

    Thanks, looking for a good 4d case you see.

  • Hi, I just put - on the bottom of the 4D - any little circular fabric adhesive, the same used for the bottoms of the chairs... you know? So... the 4D is in the right height for the phone/mic inputs and controls...

    The Zomo case is nice, very hard and protect fine my 4D... Cheers

  • Hey People, i ordered a 4D, But i have one problem tho solve, sometimes the Bpm of a track in tractor pro is have! Like a beat 0f 120 get"s 60 bpm. And it's not possible to mix it with an other track. How fix this?

  • Use your ears!!!!*

    *There is an Option in Traktor 3 to Set the BPM Range manually if it gets it wrong.... don`t know where it is in Pro.

  • If you go to the "grid" section under a deck, you'll notice that next to the calculated BPM displayed in grey, there are two small buttons; one of those is "x2" which immediately doubles the BPM for ya ;)

  • its very easy to fix ...

    click on the down buttion for the advanced panel inside the deck

    click on "Grid" and than on the button "x2" on the left of the TAP button ...

  • Look for BPM ranges in the settings. Try setting 70+ to fix this.

  • Hi Mark,

    Just to verify (I'm looking at buying a 4D myself) you don't need any kind of audio interface with the 4D? Are the speakers connected directly to the 4D then and the 4D connected to the computer via MIDI?

    The reason I ask is because the Native Instruments website makes it sound like you need the Audio 8/4 DJ.

    Cheers,

    Drew

  • Drew-

    I've got the 3D, which is the 4D's predecessor, and both have their own internal sound card so no other interface is required.

    Good luck.

  • Hi Drew, you need a USB cable to connect to mac/pc... NO MIDI CABLES... :D, the speakers are connected by XLR or RCA outputs... choose what you prefeer...

    I'm very happy for the sound quality... loud & clear...

    so... welcome to 4D users world... ehe eh eh...

    ciao

  • connect usb to pc instal traktor or ableton assign midi knobs and faders and ur done

  • Hi Mark, where did you get the stickers for the overlays on you 4d??

  • Hi Tomas, check the A&H download page, print the overlays with an A3 printer, then cover it with a plastic laminator, after it you need a little of patience and a good scissors... cheers

  • Hi goonies, sorry for the delay... :D

    Yes, the jog can be used to scroll the tracks in the playlist, but... if you use the cue-shift key, you navigate into the track and choose the optimal cue point(s)...

    sorry for my poor english...

    cheers

  • hi,

    what exactly are you doing with the jogwheel at the end? Can it be used to scroll through songs to find a good cue point (as with turntables or cdj's ? i hope i'm a bit clear...

    cheers

  • Hey Mark66m, it seems like your using the Allen&Heath tks and overlays. Is it a good one ?

    I've made my own tks but i'm not happy about it.

  • Hi Matt... Yes, until now I use the tks and overlays with traktor studio 3.2.2... they work well, but now I want to try the TPro and new stuffs... Do you use the pro or studio?

    Cheers

  • You can bay an xone 92 + 1d + 2d LIke me. 2d got build in soundcard same as the 4d soundcard.

    LIke me :P .. NOw I have one problem, can't find a flight case :(.... The 4/3D case is to small. Now i have to build one by my self :D ..

    Nice set btw ! .. SOrry for my english !

  • Hey man this mixer looks sweet I was wondering If you can use this standalone with traktor or do you still need the audio8/4?

  • Hi man... you don't need any soundcard... the 4D have an internal soundcard... :D

  • Sorry d'ont undrestand!! I have my own midi map for ableton and another for tracktor... and.... it doesnt works, maybe is an option when configuring the middi map in trackor? (togle, trigger...) dont know!!!!! and other question... how do you print the overlays?? paper, photo paper, plastic.... THANKS A LOT!

    really good mix!

  • Hi :D, don't worry!!! Just go to A&H website, check the 4D page and go to downloads and you find all you need, blank overlays, drivers, midi maps... I print it with an A3 printer, and with a good scissors I do all... :D after it I use a plastic laminator... have fun...

    thanks for your appreciations

  • what's that sound? can you give me a tracklist or did you create the tracks?

  • hi, this is the tracklist...

    - 8 Bit Romance - RadioSlave's Deepest Space Remix

    - Red Shift - Original Mix

    - Doiicie A - Original Mix

    looped a fx'ed... of course... :D

  • you did a great job. it sounds fantastic. could hear it all night.^^

    thanks for the list. one more question:

    are you really born in '66? ;-)

  • ...sure!!! I'm too old? :D
