A lot depends of course on your style of mixing. Almost forgot to mention the rotary mixer of Allen & Heath, pretty sweet

the chinese made A&H mixers fall apart just by looking at them. so if your had your Xone62 a while and it's made in England i can imagine it been alright.

i think i would like a rotary mixer but i've never used one.

I have a xone 62 and love it, but really would prefer to own a 92... its just that whenever I have the money I spend it on more synths.

Ecler sound really nice for the price, but they aren't very durable. Basically every Ecler I've ever seen has had some problems, and not just because gallons of spilled beer.

Ecler mixers boost lo-mids to death, and they're not very durable

one of the things i've noticed about the xone 62 is that the eq's are really... misleading? on three different 62's i've played on, i've noticed that the bass eq kill seems to have a different band width than the eq itself.

in other words: imagine playing a fairly full track, good variety of stuff happening instrument-wise, and you're turning the bass knob down towards the left stop. the fade out sounds great, the only thing disappearing is the lowest end of the frequency range, until just before you hit the stop, when all of a sudden the eq kill seems to take a big bite out of the low-mid range.

anyone else notice that or am i just crazy? it sounds pretty terrible, but fortunately it's got the filters.

xone 92 for me, or rane mp-2016.

yes this isnt the best thing about the low eq part , sometimes looks like its a full kill , but just dont turn all the way down:)
