Alrighty, I sent the Xone:42 back to where it came from. After my ordeal with being basicly duped by Allen & Heaths false description of the mixers capibilities, I decided to just suck it up and get the Xone:92 which does indeed have MIDI capibilities. Why the Xone:42 doesnt is beyond stupid, especially for a mixer that cost $1300 to not support even at least the cross fader as MIDI controable input is just plain stupid if you ask me. What good is a USB mixer if it doesnt support MIDI? But I digress… Anyway, I talked to the people that I got the bunk-42 from and they hooked me up with the Xone:92 insted. You know whats funny, Allen & Heath had the audactiy to suggest that I buy a Xone:1D in addition to the 42 if I wanted MIDI. But you know what, its actuallyu cheaper to straight up buy the Xone:92 than it is to buy the 42 and the 1D individually. Stupid Allen & Heath dont even know the price of their own products. Let me just add that this will be the first and only Allen & Heath product that I ever buy, and if its not the fucking best thing since sliced bread, its going straigh back to the store it came from.

Im really tired of mixing Traktor with the keyboard and mouse its a real pain in the ass. At first I had wanted to just get a regular midi-DJ Controller Mixer like the Vestax VC-100 but I kept reading reviews that said the nobs were really small and Ive got big fingers so I thought that probably wouldnt work too well for me. Then I saw the YouTube video of Deadmau5 vs. the Xone:3d and I really wanted one of those. But it turns out that the Xone:3d is like $2700, a little bit out of my price range right now (there are website that sell it for cheaper, but its still pricey). So then I saw the Xone:96 I thought that was the one, but then I realized that it was serious overkill for what I wanted to do. So then I saw the Xone:42 and that was the one. I felt like Goldie Lox in a mixer store, this mixers too expensive, this mixers got too many nobs, but this Xone:42, this ones just right.

Here are some videos of it in action Watch this guy use the mixer to mix things:
