they gottx cover the zsearch and development costs, but that price point would be too high i reckon,

1399 for the sixty-two, 1099 for the sixty-one

I think they are holding out as long as they can so to recoup as much of the R&D loss from the Sixty-Eight as possible. Once an Empath-SL type mixer is released, no one will even consider getting the Sixty-Eight........I know I wouldn't.

Well they'll be holding out for awhile then, because these new 61 & 62 are not so impressive in my opinion.

It's not all lost R&D. The 68 flopped but they can still use the R&D on a 3 channel version, then quietly update the 68 and fix the things that has people pissed in a year or so. But seriously, wtf do I know about it. I'm sure there are logical reasons why things are the way they are, I just don't know them. All I know is I want a f'king empathsl.

Somebody messed up on R&D when they made the 68....lol
I'm with you with the EMpath SL.....But there are forces that we can't comprehend at RANE.
Dj Wunder 9:31 PM - 19 January, 2012
2 different (well THREE different) 2-channels mixers was a BIG mistake. Making the WorldBeater TTM57 obsolete and no empathSL? Why? They should have released the 62, the Z-Trip 62, and a 6THREE (basically emapthSL) and the 63Z (if you're into that look)
thebuttonfreak 9:33 PM - 19 January, 2012
the ztrip version is just cosmetic right? Why even bother. I love the look of the 62, it's a proper midi/analog mixer but I don't think I'll ever buy a 2 channel mixer.
Maskrider 9:35 PM - 19 January, 2012

I can't imagine how incredibly hot this mixer will get. all those buttons, fx, use of power..just seems insane..like overkill
dj_soo 10:31 PM - 19 January, 2012
It's running 4 year old audio tech at 16-bit USB 1.1 when the standard is 24-bit USB 2.0

That's like eons in the time.

The fact that the mixer is still viable with all the leaps and bounds audio technology has made in that time is more a testament to Rane's build and design quality and seratos willingness to continue to support legacy products than anything else.

Simple fact is it doesn't sound as good as current tech - sl2, sl3, sl4, and 68 all sound way better and sport more current tech - it needed to happen.
Kadilac 10:38 PM - 19 January, 2012

Correct. Outdated but not obsolete.

Last time I checked my 57 was still working. lol

Oh, and last time I checked, I don't have any 24bit audio in my library.... though I agree that the others audio quality is better. nm
Mr. Goodkat 1:37 AM - 20 January, 2012
i always thought the 57 had a really cool sound to it. character for a digi mixer. that being said i sold mine a year ago, cuz this was obviously coming.
reggae delgado 1:49 AM - 20 January, 2012
No offense guys, I understand we all love the empath, but please let's speak as DJs, not as if we own huge music equipment companies. And since none of us has inside info about rane's accounting and budgeting, we should probably not be talking too much about how they lost money or certain products weren't successes. Just a thought that might make these threads more readable/informative.

the 68 is a quality mixer......its unfortunate that some folks have probs with buttons but mine works really well. The buttons are fine for getting to a cue point they just aren't up to drumming fast on them.

Now that someone has modded them with some oil which seems to have fixed the problem(for him) its ON.

For 3/4 deck serato thers is no other better mixer out there than 68.....i luv it.
Logisticalstyles 2:42 PM - 20 January, 2012
If I had the money I would just get a regular 62 and wait for Styleflip to come up with a template so I can customize it with my own name. I can't see spending an extra 99.00 just so I can have another DJ's name on my mixer.
HYDRO MATIC 3:26 PM - 20 January, 2012

Would have be nice if they made vinyl, or custom knobs or a anyting other than just a different color combo...to go along with it...

at first i thought they were patch bay cables
bicedidit 3:56 PM - 20 January, 2012
i take that back----they def dont look like patch bay cables
DJ Remy USA 4:02 PM - 20 January, 2012
the tips look like th plastic glass tip at the end of a fiber cable and how the cable generally looks like a fiber optic cable. Fiber can be used for just about anything that can travel across light for the most part its for data/voice.
bicedidit 4:08 PM - 20 January, 2012
yea but what is compatible with fiber optics relative to the 61/62?

• Rotary version
• Built-in SL3
• 3 channels of full control (2 for tracks, 1 for loops, samples, etc., whatever)
• Dual USB
• Compact 10" chassis
citi 6:19 PM - 20 January, 2012
Aside from the rotary, the 62 does ALL of that. You don't really need an SL3 built in if you want to use the 3rd channel for loops, samples, etc.

Food for Thought:

An Empath made more sense when DJ's used 3 decks/CDJ's (pre-dvs). Most multi-deck mixing can be done with 2 decks. Some of you dudes/dudettes/she-boys haven't yet mastered 2 deck mixing and are asking for extra decks + auto-sync?

Just a Thought.

When you can drop a mix that everyone thinks is multi track but it's not then you have a real good handle on 2 deck mixing to be honest most peeps I see spinning now are doing simple mixing from track to track. I can mix fast a shit on DVS and I feel like I have a 3rd hand sometimes. Anyways I agree audio 1

3rd channel, for sp 6 independent procecessing, 24 samples(eventually with sync) would make the 3 channel mixer quite worthwhile

the 61 and the 62 will allow for the sp6 to be independently routed to the 3rd aux channel. The only thing missing would be an EQ which, on the 62 isn't even that much of an issue since the USB Aux has a dedicated filter on it.
dj_soo 5:04 AM - 21 January, 2012
on the 62, you can even cue up the USB aux channel.

im using a 'post it' pad to balance my mixer since i got the crane stand centered under the 57, the 57 rocks back and forth since the crane stand base is only 2 inches wide. and since 3x3 post it pads are essentially height adjustable , i split a post it pad in half and put each half under the 57 on both sides of the crane stand so it wouldnt rock back and forth anymore... get it?

yes I get it alot like putting a magazine under a table to keep it from rocking

Because they needed something to offer that made it different from the regular 62, besides someone else's name on it and changing the trim colors from blue to purple. LOL! (Plus, those only come useful for CD players mostly)

I can see half of LA DJ's buying this for the Laker-esque color scheme.

Do t forget the purple RCAs that you won't need since the mixer has a built in interface!


Do you plan on not using timecode signal?

This can be done using the HC4500 hack (on Denon controllers), native controlled CDJ's, or the new SC3900.

Turntables have built in cables.

Really. I was under the impression all the new Tables have RCA females.

I'm old school. I still rock my 1200 with the short cables and ground attached. Do the new Technics (6 years old and newer) still have them attached? Are they grounded internally or do they still have a cable?

They still have the cables attached and still have the ground, right up until they were discontinued.

Dj Tech's turntables have just the female connector just like most gear being manufactured.

blackavenger 4:12 PM - 17 March, 2013
Really, then why the hell do mine look so dull? Not really a question...more of a statement!
monchi 4:13 PM - 17 March, 2013
They feel pretty good also. I believe, DJ TECHtools, changed the design from the first ones they put out a while back.
monchi 4:14 PM - 17 March, 2013

blackavenger 12:04 AM - 18 March, 2013
Nope, I just bought some new ones a few weeks ago....Orange, Yellow, Red, Grey....all look dull as shit. Not shiny lookin' like yours.....::bummer::
blackavenger 12:05 AM - 18 March, 2013

There is plastic shine liquids out there, I don't know how well this would work or if it would work at all but I had bought some plastic shine liquid from a company called Novus but for something totally different and it did work great for what I used it on albeit something totally different from plastic caps.
