Hi crossfader, would not be easy just to use a USB to record your mixes? And a camera or phone for video? Not sure if I am missing something . Thank you!

Glad it was helpful!

i was shocked for a moment😆

Yeah i was thinking the same. You can def get some mileage even in wav format.

You're very welcome!

I have this same problem, did you ever find a solution?

How?

If you have a X1850 that is a great solution

Where'd you find your ever.ix box?

I was having this same problem. I don't know how to explain this well because I'm not yet technically proficient but basically your mixer is a sound card with 8 channels. Since your 5/6 channels are set to "Mix (Rec Out)", you have to select these specific channels for recording. Unfortunately, Audacity does not support this (I don't know if it does in later versions). You could try to set up Serato so that it records on 1/2 but I don't know how to do that. If you're on Mac you can use Garageband: Create an audio track, select your mixer and select "Inputs 5 + 6" in the inputs drop down box.

Probably set to Rec out not Master out.

Anytime :)

Great question! Personally I would use the USB connection to record your mix directly into a DAW for recording purposes. Using the USB will allow you to record a digital copy of your mix without using the DAC of the mixer and the ADC of a recorder, which will influence the sound of the recording. The buffer size won't matter too much as your only recording, not needing to have a low latency for performance reasons. Set this to what your computer can comfortably handle and then leave it. Hope this helps!

@@Crossfader hey thanks for reply, much appreciated! So, I could actually max out my Bitwig buffer size to 2048 and get rock solid processing because Im not using Rekordbox or Serato or anything, just the CDJ3000s and my mixer, all the processing is done before the digital signal gets to the DAW. Is there any benefit in terms of quality to maxing out the buffer, does the additional time my pc has to process the digital signal make a difference to the quality? When i look at the DSP Performance graph its jitter free with no peaks or anything so id assume thats a real positive and could minimise pops, artifacts etc?

The 3.5mm input on most laptop's is set up for Microphones rather than line level inputs. As such it runs a lot hotter and will distort when a line level device is connected like a mixer. Some laptops will allow you to change this, but not all, as such we can't recommend this method :)

@@Crossfader Ah, I see, that makes sense. Thanks for the reply!

@@viveladecadence Anytime at all

@Crossfader If you had to choose between an Allen and Heath PX5 or a Pioneer DJM 750 mk2 mixer (purely for mixing purposes and forget about filters and effects) which mixer would you choose? I have 2x CDJ 850's and Pioneer DM 40 speakers and I'm stuck between the 2 mixers I just mentioned I mainly mix happy hardcore and drum n bass

You can connect an external recorder to this port such as the Tascam, alternatively connect a soundcard such as the Behringer uca 202 and record the performance via your computer.

yes you could but why would you bother as the RX series already have a dedicated REC USB feature built in that records excellent sound quality no need for mastering?

*xone 96 :)

Yes you can use an external recorder as it captures the master out, do note that it is illegal to make recordings of tracks that are streamed. Hence why it's disabled in Rekordbox

@@Crossfader I have the DDJ 400 and I am really confused where to plug the box, please could you tell me the brand of the splitter cable I need and where on the controller I plug it all in :)

Is your Focusright recording in mono?

Check your audio preference settings in Rekordbox and make sure the REC channel has correctly been set

You can change the quality of your recording format on almost every option. However most streaming sites such as mixcloud and soundcloud will compress your mix upon upload so sometimes it's not worth the added file size to record this way.

@@Crossfader Thanks for the fast answer, so no one it’s better than the other in audio quality? I’ll be recording from a xone 92 and no streaming, just want the good audio quality I’m between Evermix or irig stream, do u recommend any in particular? Thanks again

@@jdmz096 I'm sure one will be better than the other in some way if we looked close enough but it's not something I could 100% say without going back and testing for it. Using unbalanced connections and a phone for power isn't the best recipe for anyone chasing the ultimate in sound quality and I highly doubt there will be a noticeable difference in either device, especially when using 320kps MP3 files to DJ with. Both sound good enough in short, I'm sure you won't be disappointed with either!

Does the utility show that the mixer is connected?

@@Crossfader yes it does.
