Yeah, I know the 4D is much more plastic than all other A&H models, I mean, the weight is like 4-5 kgs..Themis wrote:@patrick, this kind of mixers are also available cheaper, dont have to be a xone - it was a example for a solid mixer.
i give it to you, the xone:4D is definitely not a hercules kind of product, its much more solid, but its still much much more plastic than this old school mixers.
i own a xone 42, so im not against this mixers or anything
i only wanted to point out that i would change in a second to such a good solid mixer like the Xone:S6
this rawness turns me on
its this feeling why i play vinyl, it feels so physical when i work with this tools. maybe this is because i own a computer sind i was 12, and spend many many hours online and with digital things
today we do all things online and in seconds, all things have to go quick ect. i dont know anything else anymore so maybe this is like balance, to do things slow the old way.
I played a few times on mixers like that S6 and the older oldschool ones, and sure, it's cool.
But still, you're comparing a sh!t with state of the art in your original post.
