Djing Gadgets we love here @ Lnmovement. Today we are reviewing Rane MP25 Mixer
Why go for fewer mixing channels when you could add
extra ones? Rane, Rane, Rane, love this brand. I first fell in love with its
products when I saw Alberton-Live music production tutorials videos. The fact
that on some of their products (i.e. mixers) feature less complicated knops
which most people who use them rarely use those extra features does it for me.
The less, the better, keeping it clean. This week I am paying a feature visit
on Rane’s MP25 Mixer. Enjoy these week’s publication guys. Cheers.
Overview
The offers a versatile combination
of analog mixing and USB soundcard capability in a 19” rack-mount
format. It’s ideal for club and mobile applications requiring multi-track
mixing and recording of turntables, CD players, digital tracks and microphones.
The MP25’s twenty-two USB audio channels use Rane's low-latency ASIO and
Core Audio drivers to connect to popular DAW and DJ software
(other than Serato). The MP25’s front panel controls are MIDI enabled, allowing
manipulation of software parameters directly from the mixer’s control surface.
19” rack-mount four-deck mixer
for Mobile DJ, Home studio or Club
Combine your favourite multi-track mixing,
beat-making, looping, effects and recording applications with turntables, CD
Players, Microphones and effects processor. This rugged rack-mount club mixer
features a 22-channel USB audio interface with low-latency ASIO and Core Audio
drivers that easily connects to most third-party music software.
3-band Isolator EQs plus High-Pass/Low-Pass
Filter for Each Program Channel
Each program channel has its own
dedicated 3-band isolator EQs and dedicated High-Pass/Low-Pass filters. These
controls let you take full control of your mix to accurately and precisely cut
or boost any component of your track. Use the full cut EQs to tune it just the
way you want it, or use the High-Pass/Low-Pass filter knob to quickly cut and
boost with one turn. The filter allows you to blend, mix or add a unique effect
to your track. The filter resonance can be switched high or low in the driver
control panel.
Integrated USB 2.0 Sound Card
The 22-channel internal USB 2.0 sound-card includes
five stereo playback channels and six stereo record channels. Four of the five
stereo playback channels support four virtual decks, D1-D4. The fifth stereo
playback channel is the return for the software effects insert. Four of
the six stereo playback channels are for recording the four program strips post
fader, one pair is for the software effects insert send and one pair is for
recording the main mix.
FlexFx Loop with external
analog loop and USB Insert loop
The FlexFX architecture in the MP25 is more
powerful than typical effect insert solutions. The architecture includes the
FlexFX Bus, an auxiliary bus routed to the FlexFX Loop which includes two
independent effects inserts. Any combination of PGM 1-4 and Mic 1-2 may be
routed to the FlexFX Bus. Any combination of external analog and USB effects
may be applied within the FlexFX Loop.
Ultra low latency core audio
and asio drivers
Rane’s ultra low latency, multi-client ASIO and
Core Audio drivers set the standard for USB streaming devices. These
drivers are fast and reliable, and are designed for professionals with
demanding needs.
Rane ASIO and Core Audio drivers allow use with
multiple third-party software applications that support Core Audio or ASIO.
ASIO and Core Audio drivers are multi-client, meaning they allow multiple
applications on a computer to share the device at the same time. When using a
Rane product with Serato Scratch Live, proprietary Serato Audio Research
drivers are used in place of Rane ASIO (Windows) and Core Audio (Mac) drivers.
The included Rane drivers are used when Scratch Live is not running.
Industry standard drivers can be used for this Rane
audio device on any professional software package of your choice.
