Ableton Forum

Hi,
I bought the Ecler Nuo 5 mixer yesterday:

http://www.djforums.com/reviews/mixers/ecler_nuo5.php

Apart from a effect processor it also features midi out - I connected it to my soundcard and would sync the signal from the mixer with Live. Well, it isn't 100% precise (guess the internal beatcounter of the Nuo is not the best). But then - finally a way to sync the DJ set with Live.

Have you got experience with the Nuo, how do you sync Live to a DJ set?

Andreas

Did anyone got the chance to try the nuo 5 with a Drum&Bass beat and see if the internal bpm-counter is capable of counting the bpm (and putting out a correct midi clock)? My experience with these counters is that they completely go bananas if you play a beat that’s not straight 4 to the floor.

Thanks

quite right! After two weeks of checking I replaced the Nuo with a Pioneer DJM 600 - beat synchronising wouldn't really work, even with straight house beats ...

Hopefully the next generation of dj mixers will be more sophisticated in terms of midi

Too bad,

Thanks for the info.
