Sorry guys, but also had a mixon 8 Pro and I had only trouble with the sound. Terrible sound while using the neural mix and crashes if I try to change the channels to my MacBook. It was a desaster, trust me. I had the chance to change the mixon 8 pro into a Pioneer DDJ FLX10 and thos Unit guys is awsome. Greate Sound, look and feel also much better and higher then the reloop. And the best thing is, the Pioneer is only 400€ more expensive. I LOVE MY FLX10.

I really considered the FLX 10, but I only use djay. Felt like since the mixon was officially supported I should try that. I’ve been using it for a week and have grown really fond of the 4 channel paddle effects. I have @Slak_Jaw custom MiDI mapping for it and it helps with stems for sure.
How is the FLX 10 with djay? I know there’s an unofficial midi map available. Seems like the jog displays don’t work at all on iOS. I think the sound is better now on the mixon after some tweaks as above and letting auto gain do all the work.l will have to test it with some louder speakers however.

Nice one. Pleased you got it sorted. I love my Mixon 8 also as it’s probably the best controller right now to work with djay pro. There have been some with issues inc me but many more without any issues.

Yes u are right, the jog-display doesen‘t work yet under IOS but eveything else is working good. U can also mapp eberything on your own if something is needed. And dont‘t forget the pioneer got the best mixer working standalone and the mixon 8 pro is only software based.

What’s the point of having the best controller if the sound isn’t good and you have no security? I was so nervous after I noticed that at the gig. Unfortunately you can only hear it when you turn it up properly. At home everything was great for me too🤣

and algoriddim has promised that they are already programming the flx10.

I didn’t get any sound issues with mine. Only sticking pads, which were resolved quite easily and jog wheel sticking, which has gone back to be repaired or replaced. If I was to change I’d probably go with Rane One right now as it’s spread out more with simplistic layout and the best for scratching. I do like the flx 10 but it’s too clumped together. My big hands won’t like it so much. Not sure how the hardware effects will get integrated either. If it does and I say it as there are no promises integrated with hybrid style, hardware combo with software do can utilise both it might be worth considering. Mean time I’m waiting to hear about my Mixon 8.

What kind of behavior should I notice if jog wheel is sticking?
The pads felt a little sticky when I first got it too (zero click) but I figured they were supposed to be this way.
As a relatively new dj (when it comes to hardware at least) it’s hard to know if my device is faulty
Along those same lines, how easy is it to get reloop to replace or fix any issues if they come down the line? Just trying to figure this all out before return period ends.
You guys rock

The pads was a relatively easy thing to solve although at the time did create anxiety. I rubbed around the edges of the pad and that seemed to free them up. Now on Reloop website there is a segment on exactly this - pads sticking and how to free them up. Reloop believes it’s down to when the unit is in transportation the pads then need resetting or some of them do. This is done by gently rubbing around the pad.
The jog wheel is completely something else. It was sticking, not spinning as free as the left and when moving around was making a grinding noise like bearing had gone or something. Was happening linked to software or not, so defo hardware issue.
I had issues which is on another post , I didn’t get another 1 , bought a ready reloop , this is mainly jus recording mashups wen in bed and preparing sets, i use my flx 10 for mixing and going live on fb , I don’t use djay pro with flx 10 , not until it’s supported , but will do when it is , I use rekordbox at the moment ,
no problems with reloop ready , had the controller a month

I was able to do some more testing today and even with auto gain on, I’m still getting a lot of clipping when master volume is set to 100%. I have a smaller DDJ SB3 and this unit doesn’t clip when volume is at 100% playing the same track in djay on same speakers. Also noticed if I’m plugged into the mixon with my iPhone and playing music from “Music” in iOS I will also get clipping at high volumee, issue is not only from within djay.
Only way I can get the mixon to behave similarly to my SB3 is if I add 6dB of headroom.
I will say, the overall volume does sound audibly louder when the clipping occurs on the mixon. As in 100% on the mixon sounds louder than 100% on the SB3.
Can I ask why you would want master volume at 100%?

Well it’s not that I would want to do that….just putting my unit through testing to make sure it isn’t faulty since so many units seem to be…
When you say “getting clipping” how are you determining this?
Are you hearing distortion, or are you just assuming it’s “clipping” because of what the meters are doing?

More testing - gain at 11 o clock. Auto gain on.
There is no sound between 0 and the first dot. If master volume is any louder than 3 or 4 o clock there is audible distortion and clipping.
I am also seeing the lights on each channel turn red indicating clipping.
This sounds like it could be a hardware issue. Have you contacted Reloop Support?

No I have not, the point of this post was the determine if there is a hardware issue. I can still return the unit and try a new one.
Have other users had similar issues?
