Look fresh and complicated all at once.

i got blocked login T_T

any words on pricing yet?

For those having login issues with imageshack, Try this one: i43.tinypic.com

The word is: MSRP for the new rane is $2199 USD

WTF?

Even at $1,600 to $1,800 Street....that's insane for a 2 channel mixer!

i44.tinypic.com

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 took a screen shot from the show this morning.

djbloo.posterous.com

looks like they dug up those graphics from 98

Good stuff!

Reminds me of when Z-Trip used to do the FUTURE PRIMITIVE shows in SF.

Here you go, save up your two G's now!

OUCH!

Can't believe they are charging more for the ztrip version. They should be selling for less cuz that thing is UUUUUGLY.

Where have you seen the 62-Z for sale?

is there a diff between the 2?

www.ktla.com

No empathSL style mixer but 2 separate 2 channel mixers? wtf?

Rane wants to REEEEEALLY make their customers wait for it, so check back in 2014, 2015'ish.

empathsl is the biggest nobrainerin all dj land. What's the hold up guys?

Agreed.

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.

THAT

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.

I think that blonde news lady wants her some z-trip

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.

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)

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.

My TTm 56 needs an Upgrade so I'm picking the 62.

this

Sorry to derail, but I haven't really cared for the 68 lately. What's wrong with it?

People say the cue buttons suck and that it's buggy. I've yet to get my hands on one I don't know for sure what they're talking about.

The 57 is obsolete - they desperately needed to upgrade to sound card inside...

I just jizzed in my pants...thank me later
Watchwww.youtube.com

(noh/nm) bezzle ;)

OBSOLETE!?!?!??!?

WTF?!?

(((FACEPALM)))

I can't imagine how incredibly hot this mixer will get. all those buttons, fx, use of power..just seems insane..like overkill

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.

But you said OBSOLETE..."outdated" is the correct term, sir.

Sorry, I'm still in love with my 57~

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

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.

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.

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.

tOTALLY agree^^^^^

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...

Id rarther have Z trip sign my style flip...than name on my mixer...

^ You get purple cables

looks like fiber optic cables in the pouch

what are fiber optic cables used for?

at first i thought they were patch bay cables

i take that back----they def dont look like patch bay cables

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.

yea but what is compatible with fiber optics relative to the 61/62?

They are rca cables....fiber optic cables dont have the gold tips

And the one purple is a usb

How many DJ's will think they are flossing because they have purple USB and RCA cables. What are we here, DIPSET?

LOL!!!!!!

Those look like Oyaide Class B Cables. In a custom purple color . Since class S and Class A cables have the logo etched on the RCA plug. and these use the little bubble logo.

About this incessant banging on about a new Empath. 3 channel mixers in the DJ scene are thin on the ground for good reason. Why do you all want one so much?

Meh, now that I know the 62 has a assignable aux channel, I'm good. I'd only use the 3rd channel for sp6/bridge or a line in ipod. I'm good. Can't wait until Feb 1

• Rotary version
• Built-in SL3
• 3 channels of full control (2 for tracks, 1 for loops, samples, etc., whatever)
• Dual USB
• Compact 10" chassis

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.

Yeah, if you want to be handicapped in doing by using the session input. I/We want FULL control of a third deck, not a hobbled band-aid solution for it.

omg that mixer is humongous!

So get a 68 and you have one more channel to make you happy

It's only an inch wider and half an inch longer :)

TTM 57SL Unit: Size: 13.3"H x 10"W x 3"D (33.8 x 25.4 x 7.7 cm)

Sixty-Two Unit Size: 14.25"H x 10.5"W x 4"D (36.2 cm x 26.7 cm x 10.2 cm)

yea i guess that girl is really little, cuz in front of her it looks really huge! and z-trip is a shrimp too! haha!

will it need a new case? it doesn't seem like it will fit in the 10" case.

Depends on the case. If it's squishy foam then it should snug in to it :)

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.

thanks, i'll hold to mine until i can test it out myself.

See points 1 and 5 below why the 68 is not desired and a new Empath is.

^^^ not to mention the 68's lousy buttons.

I can't see anywhere a mention if the cue buttons are different. They look more responsive from a couple of the videos, but it would be nice to know if they have been totally revised! I'll be buying a 62 if they have been...

Rane rep addressed this on another thread and confirmed they have been improved/corrected on 62.

Good news! can't wait to hear more... Time to start saving! I sold my 68 because i couldn't live with it, such a shame...

yea but they need it to be "more creative"

Ummm, some have mastered that (and more) and yes, those features and a new Empath has being requested by many for years now. Check the archives.

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.

on the 62, you can even cue up the USB aux channel.

+1

audio 1 for president....



no wait too many convictions, how about CA governor?!!!!

touche'.

I want the 62

The 62 is a beast of a mixer. Its not huge. It will fit in cases with removable sides pads. My 57 has to have 3 on each side to be snug.

thanks for that info. I had just bought new black label case for my 57. i'm going to keep it now.

Wonder will a 62 fit my pelican case? Oh well ,need to start saving.

i use jenga pieces. and i highly suggest buying jenga. i use those blocks for everything. there all over my coffin

i use jenga pieces. and i highly suggest buying jenga. i use those blocks for everything. there all over my coffin

got to be the funniest shit Ive heard a DJ say, but I see your point...but still lol, lmfao, facepalm

quote fail^^^^^

im a resourceful motherfcuker...
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

i suspect there is a vocal minority that want the EmpathSL but the sales on regular Empaths aren't good enough to justify it. If it was, there would have been one by now.

AGREED

the guys who really want one...are EXTREMELY vocal about it...REPEATEDLY!!

Ron Paul 2012!

£200 for a purple, lightening stike & lakers coloured knobs? eh i dnt think i will be getting that. i'll be copping a 62 not a 62z, if imma style flip it anywayz whats the point?

2 channels for tunes, 3rd channel for samples, ableton or even a 3rd tune to mix in. And nobody asked for autostync in this thread, just a 3 channel rane/serato mixer.

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

yah, i must have some of those!!!! lol

Great use of Jenga!

Not sure what was the point of the included high end cables?

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 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.

That was exactly my point. Hahaha! You & I are on the same page a lot nik ;)

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.

hahaha i was thinking that!

didn't even think of that.. haha.. never owned a mixer with built in interface.. the cables were my reasoning for ordering the Z over the reg.. haha.. at least i'll have a cool purple USB cable.

i think there for cdjs or speaker monitors. dont shot me but you could use them to hook up traktor for your friends who still use it

But they SHOULD have included 2 usb cables IMO...

Well ,lost a knob, so I ordered these. They feel pretty good and if I ver sell the 62z they will have NEW original looking knobs ;)

www.flickr.com

im sorry dude but i dont dig those knobs at all, you checked out jesse dean designs?

No markings on pots doe!

What are those....they look too shiny to be Chromacaps??

Wow..... 0_o

Yes, they are Chromas!

Really, then why the hell do mine look so dull? Not really a question...more of a statement!

They feel pretty good also. I believe, DJ TECHtools, changed the design from the first ones they put out a while back.

I got them 2 days ago..

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::

LOL, I wonder if I Armor-all them, if it would make them greasy, or start to degrade?

you know if you just email rane and ask for replacement knobs, they'll just give you them for free...

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.

Yup done that Soo, thanks for the heads up!
