Cortex Dmix 600 Software Update

Serato creates world leading DJ software. Controller workstation (Cortex Dmix 600) which is a 2 turntable and mixer workstation. And that this.

In the meantime, laptop performance has fought its way to respectability in the DJ world, but DJing from an iPod (and other hard-drive devices) still has some work ahead of it to be taken seriously. More than a year ago, after an initial wave of iPod mixing products were largely written off as toys, a new breed will hatch this year to take iPod DJing into the realm of legitimacy. A key component to those pieces, including the new Cortex dMIX-300, is the streaming technology necessary to play two songs at once from a single iPod, change the pitch of those songs and digitally scratch them — all traits the earlier iPod mixers didn't share. DECK, DOCK, DECK There's no mystery to the dMIX-300's all-in-one physical layout. A full 2-channel mixer centers the unit, with two identical deck sections on each side for controlling music playback. A built-in iPod dock accommodates any iPod model with a dock connector — iPod 3G and later, iPod Mini and iPod Nano — and adapter plates for the Mini and Nano models are included. A single USB 2 Type-A port on the back panel labeled MSD (mass storage device) connects USB drives; you can also connect a powered USB hub to hook up a maximum of four USB storage devices at a time feeding into that one port.

As a bridge to the physical world, the dMIX-300 has two stereo audio inputs on unbalanced RCA connectors on its back panel. You can switch the inputs from phono to line-level to hook up a total of two turntables (grounding included) and/or CD players. At the top of each mixer channel strip is a switch to select either the MSD USB port or the analog input as the source for that channel. The mixer also has a gain knob, 3-band EQ (with center detents), a 60 mm volume fader and blue-lit volume meter for each channel.

A removable crossfader features a 2-curve switch to change from a smooth fade for blending or a quick-cut curve for scratching. Install cydia package without dependencies. Two separate ¼-inch TS mic inputs — one on the front and one on the back panel — can be active simultaneously for dynamic mics or other mics that don't need phantom power. Both mic inputs share a mic volume knob and low- and high-EQ knobs on the front panel. The mic signals flow equally to each of the three stereo outputs on the back: master, booth and record, which all exist on a pair of unbalanced RCA connectors. Both the master and booth outputs have corresponding level attenuators in the mixer, while the record output has no volume control but is set to a consistent -10 dB level. Finally, there is a headphone cue section in front with a ¼-inch stereo phones jack, volume control and a cue fader that blends the headphone mix between Cue 1 (left channel) and Cue 2 (right channel).
