just got one of these. all you need is the traktor scratch UPGRADE and the vinyls and you are good to GO. the sound on this thing is seriously good, i went for this over a djm 800 HANDS DOWN. and as for the fool that was labelling this in the same arena as the Krog firewire series? The Korg can’t handle low end and the curve on the graphics is SHIT! i’ve checked all these things out in person and this mixer is the boss. fact.

[...] On the DJ side of things, CDM also has an interesting post about the Ecler EVO5 DJ mixer: The Ecler EVO5 Revealed (Partially): Ferrari of Digital DJ Mixers? The specs are still sketchy, but I’ve read some pretty wild guesses (electrified fingerprint readers?). One CDM reader went so far as to claim that its supposed to be "better than Tetris." Blasphemous. [...]

New word on the NUO5…it WILL be TRAKTOR SCRATCH certified! This means you can get just the TRAKTOR SCRATCH program and the vinyls, and use the mixer’s Firewire card as the interface….no external interface box needed!

now, would the sound card of this mixer be able to read and transmit the timecoded vinyl signals to control mp3 in the laptops? and i never used ecler product before, but is the making of their mixers ans the sound quality is as good as a a&h?

[...] AW: Ecler EVO 5 … bei CDM steht seit gestern ein übergrosser Bericht ( + Bild ) sowie die ein oder andere interessante Info. Schon nicht schlecht, aber Eierlegende Wollmilchsäue stelle ich mir anders vor. __________________ Ich mach mit, hab ja nichts zu verstecken http://bundestrojaner.net/;) [...]

Quirk Street, Check out the Nuo5! It’s not exactly cheap, but it can be bought for about $1000. At that price it does quite a lot if you compare it to similar mixers. If you bought one used you could get it for a lot less!

I just want an affordable 4+ channel mixer that sends MIDI clock info to ableton so that it can synch with turntable/CDJ’s!

bliss, no breathalizer either. :(

Convience goes a long way in audio gear, especially dj equipment. Most dj’s aren’t pushing new techniques or anything revolutionary, so having everything in one box together is a selling point. Its easy to connect and easy to move.

I just wish companies would come up with better marketing – how many times have been told the biz is about to be revolutionized or it will never be the same? How many count down timers have we seen?

But then again, out of 49 comments on all the stories on the front page… this commands 11, so why fix what isn’t broken?

The advantage of the firewire card is convenience, yes. With this mixer (and others with built in soundcards), you can use, say, ableton, and have each of its tracks outputs enter into each input on the mixer via firewire. This all goes thru a single cable, and because of the minimal connections, there is no loss of audio quality.

Normally, you would need a PC, an external multi-channel soundcard AND RCA wires from each output channel on the soundcard to each input channel on the mixer. This would also take up inputs that can be used by CD players etc..

With the internal firewire card, you can just assign PC outputs to whichever channels on your mixer. You can also assign the OUTPUTS from the mixer to the INPUTS (to record) on your PC.
