I don’t know of any mixer that let’s you play sound through a channel if the CHANNEL fader isn’t up.

Now for CROSS-faders it’s different. Some mixers allow you to assign the A or B or Thru option per channel, allowing individual setting of the Cross fader assignment as you like. In the case of thru it means the Crossfader is effectively not used on that channel’s signal. But you would still need to have the channel fader up in order to get any sound.

By the look of it the M6 does allow you to select one input channel on each side (AB) for the cross-fader, this would theoretically mean that the other non-selected channels will be thru by default.

Hope that clarifies and helps some.

Thanks for the update. While sorry you went through the experience of buying and getting rid of the Hercules, I am glad to see our advice was solid.

Yeah, something like “Me Jane!” “D

That would be AMD CPU, not graphics card I think. Almost all DJ software seems to prefer Intel CPU.

I had a guy over at my place a few weeks ago who had a go at my MCX8000 and DDJ-SX, both 4-channel controllers.

4-channel control is the absolute minimum to be working 4 decks in a serious fashion.

Yet, this guy was having a bit of a struggle (although he did great from my point of view) juggling the deck choice buttons, he would sometimes not have switched before moving the jogs (which can be very disturbing if the current deck is playing over the PA.

I have once played with an option consisting of a Denon MC-6000 (a mk2 would do as well), complemented by two Denon DN-SC2000 which are effectively the deck part of the MC6000. That way you’d have 4 actual control surfaces, all hooked up to the mixer part of the MC6000.

http://www.digitaldjtips.com/search/dn-sc2000/ is a post that has a picture showing this setup next to a DDJ-SX and you can tell it’s only marginally wider.

Effectively all a wireless mic does is replace the normal cable by a sender and receiver. At the receiving end of the wireless mic a regular cable goes into your mixer or console. When spoken into a wireless mic a signal will be presented to the mixer/controller just like it would when you use a wired mic. The mixer/controller can’t tell the difference between the two!

For that reason a wireless mic will act exactly the same with talk-over functionality as a wired mic.
