Thanks for this video! It is really helpful. I had a similar noise issue once with my recording. I was using a piezo pick-up mic, and I was picking up this massive buzz. Turns out that my laptop was running on battery. The moment I connected it to mains - the noise disappeared (well piezos are noisy, but the drop in the noise level due to interference was massive, easily around 3 dB). Checking your house earthing connection (mains electricity supply) maybe?

But that can indeed be a great fix for some people, I'll pin your comment thank you :)

@@QuentinDamour Hey thanks for getting back man. Your video helped me in deciding to get my launch control. So many knobs, so many options! Good to hear you don't hear the hiss anymore. Haven't faced that problem so far, fingers crossed. If I may, if anybody is reading this now - couple of points to note if you are planning to buy the launch control. The faders are not of the endless type - what this essentially means is, if you switch between soft devices on Ableton, you might have to tune back the pot to the position where the soft knob is actually in position. In other words, the launch control doesn't know where your soft knob is located, so you have to tune the hardware knob to match it to the software knob location. This hasn't been a huge issue for me, but if you are performing live and switching between devices and controls often - this is something to consider. You would then be better off saving a few more quid and buying something like the Ableton Push or APC 40 Mark II. This said, if you have the money to spare, and need a 'few' extra knobs and faders, go for the Launch Control.

I’ve had 2 midimixes and they’ve worked amazing. The extra slider is the game winner to me. It also looks simpler and not busy. XL is a lot to look at. Akai is sleek and simple and gives me everything I want. The knobs are short but don’t bother me. I like that they have a tiny bit of resistance, makes them not feel cheap.

I have the MidiMix. 2 things. First I bought a $10 pack of knobs like the ones on the Novation. Easy to replace the small knovs it cones with. Second, the MidiMix has 9 faders not 8 because it also has a master fader. The Novation only has 8 faders, no master fader. Also I use the MidiMix in Reaper. There is a free piece of software you can get that lets you change what all the knobs and faders control very easily. It also adds the ability to use a shift button giving each control muliple uses/assignments

Another advantage for the Launch Control XL, is that it's software allows you to set the buttons as 'toggle' rather than 'momentary'. The Akai buttons only act as 'momentary' switches, and no way to change their behaviour in the Akai midi app.

From what I can work out the Akai has 2 user banks and the Novation has 8 user templates. I think this may swing it for the Novation to me. I'd like to set up 2 template to use on the OPX4 in the MPC, and it would still be nice to have more temples available for the Jura and the MiniD. And still have to spare for things like my LXR02 drum machine.

I’m selling my MIDIMIX for LCXL, for me. LCXL has far more control options since it have 8 user templates, and what’s more, you can edit the max and min value for each knob/fader/button, a total game changer. But i do like the build quality of MIDIMIX, it’s far more sturdy and i do like the compact form factor. My LCXL’s knobs are always wobbling and also, I hate the mid point of each knob. I miss the smooth move in MIDIMIX. C’mon Akai, do something to your second best MIDI controller (first one no doubt is APC40mk2).

All the features in the ableton work perfectly, but how to set the EQ3 or EQ8 to record it in drawing mode by setting the Bass, Mid, Hight and volume to separate pot gauges. So don’t just move the current track, it’s recorded. It would be a huge help when making DJ mixes, but I didn’t figure it out at all. Please help.

Yep, single coils are notorious for picking up noise, especially from lights, we used to have to turn of the fluorescent tubes in the shop when testing some SC's.

Can't you just sit further away from the controller with your guitar to get rid of the buzzing though?

The designer of the Midimix Knobs must be a huge real life Troll. Designing those short little crapknobs is next level trolling. Astonishingly, many people buy and like it, so i guess some people have chameleon-like fingers and no problem turning those little crapknobs.

Yeah right ? I upgraded the knobs to dj tech tools and it's night and day

@@QuentinDamour Oh interesting. Do you mean you replaced the knobs in the midimix with a knob-set from dj tech tools? do you please have a link? would be worth a try to custom-make a better midimix

@@QuentinDamour Oh woops, now i found the right knobs! Seems like i can't even buy wrong ones cause they are actually made for the midmix. Didnt know this, thanks!

Merci pour ta review. J'hésitais entre les 2, avec un petit plus pour Akai. Mais le coup des boutons ça gâche un peu le truc. Il va falloir les changer. Le buzz de la novation c'est le coup de grâce. J'étais en train de pencher vers elle, pour tous les avantages énumérés, mais là même pas pour rire.

thankyou. midimix is also half the price. confusing name , nothing to do with MIDI , it has a USB interface. anyways i agree things should not give out EMF / RF interference. The worst offenders of course are phones, and anything wireless or bluetooth, not healthy for us.

You're welcome ! Well it does send MIDI signal to you daw isn't it ? Can you explain what you mean ? And yeah for wireless stuff it kinda makes sense but for this type of gear... I wish more care was put into that.
