3:31 - Return Channels A+B

This is my in-depth tutorial of the Xone:96 by Allen & Heath. What an incredible mixer. If you are a DJ or live-act certainly check out this tutorial as it will answer a lot of questions you might have. No doubt in my mind that this will be the new standard club mixer within a few years. To me, nothing comes close to it for DJing.

Definitely one of the best purchases I've ever made. 6 years and still the best.

[AlexAlcyone]

10:24 what you did here is awesome, with the FX send being pre filter.. totally reshapes the sound. Killer effect.

[ericburgos]

I absolutely love how huge the 96 is - I used an 92 for about ten years. I got CoolorCaps knobs for even more space between everything and it makes the mixer feel even better. Fantastic piece of kit in every way and incredibly comfortable.

Haha.. the most DJ´s I´ve played with have never seen somebody switching more than one filter on.. it´s like a hidden Tekken move for DJ´s on the 92!
Don´t tell anybody that you can change the resonance of the filter from normal to heavy inside of the 92´s;)
Nice review!

[whendoesthisend]

you're not making it easier by having the DB4 next to it. Thanks

[adamoliver]

Nice demo, I'm thinking about buying one of these for hybrid live/DJ use and went for this vid because I recognise your name from the Elektronauts forum. That forum is really good and I don't even own any Elektron gear!

[spiegelkind]

The booth EQ and mute are essential feats I’ve seen requested on many high profile tech riders.

[gregoryhoefer]

Really great tutorial. It's been a blast so far. I want the DB4 now after the endorsement.

[andyskinner]

Brilliant, enjoyable and informative video Dave.i, m really thinking about getting a 96 so great to watch this .👍

[nawmelwang]

Thank u so much!Your explanation of 96 makes me really understand its function and practicality. I am a novice😄

[thisallreal]

Love this mixer. Up there with the best. My only gripe is not being able to have master meter always showing master. It changes to cue meter when you cue up. Apart from that its good.

[michaelcohen]

I m thinking of getting a xone 96 and doing a similar setup with my DB2, I was thinking of trading in the DB2 but love it way too much, had it 5 years now and is definitely the best mixer I’ve owned so far, think I will hire the 96 before buying and see if suits my style of djing first

[kevinw.]

Thanks a lot for the clear explanation! Very helpful on my decision. Awesome device.

[drfluffy]

I absolute love the Xone 96. so many send / return possebilitys, the 4 band eq is so smooth, the crunch adds just such a nice flavor to the filter and they still think about the midi out. My absolute favorite mixer for djsets and dj + hardware hybrid sets. Next week i will have one for a extended perfor, mance with 2 cdj's + Digitakt, Digitone, Boss rc 505 and GFI Specular Tempus. Always happy when i can play with that beauty, happens way to rare because most dj's still prefer pioneer, what i totally can not understand.

[jamisontanksley]

I remember one of the first gigs I had was on this thing and boy was I confused. The second time I was on the xone, I was fine but hear to learn more about it

[JoshuaKane.]

Above is an Allen & Heath ménage à trois of dreams!

[krismaccormack]

Thanks for a very understandable tutorial Dave..I get my 96 next week to go with my 1210 turntables..I cant wait :)..Been using a Pioneer DJM 250mk2 but the sound is not great in analogue

[GuyHarwood]

Love my 96. Only gripe is I wish the booth section supported midi like most of the other controls. Would have been perfect for controlling plugin parameters in Ableton

[wildKawa]

Gonna upgrade to a x96 after watching your video, thanks for all the precise information!
I started digital a few years back and then pretty quickly swapped to vinyl which i looove... but i miss the fx channels a lot. So the possibility of send/returns sounds amazing... plus i'd love to connect a drum machine or synth to transition more into a mix of vinyl and live performance. Fun times ahead :)

[d_Ink_Oficial]

I’m selling my 92
So i can get the 96
What a incredible machine
