ZERO LIVE CONTROL MIXER is an all-in-one ‘core station’ designed for live performance artists, remix producers, and serious computer musicians providing a digital mixer, audio I/O, MIDI controller, and effect processor all in a single unit. Each channel can be switched between sources such as a turntable, CD player, microphone, computer, instrument, MIDI controller, or MIDI controller + audio to implement a sophisticated live mixing setup with the simplicity of a FireWire connection. This gives you an incredibly powerful and flexible tool designed specifically for live performance and remix production.

Two models are available: ZERO4 is a four-channel version designed for the needs of the modern DJ, and ZERO8 is an eight-channel version covering the needs of advanced laptop musicians, studio remixers and DJs requiring more channels.

OK this was the official propaganda, lets see how it’s doing on a Skratchworx test. Continue reading to see the ratings right now, jump over to the Skratchworx for the whole story.

Build Quality – 8/10
Generally good with slightly rough feeling crossfader and plastic wobbly pots.

Sound Quality – 8.5/10
Sounds good to me.

Features & Implementation – 9.5/10
A direct Firewire link to the master and cue buss would be nice. Definitely not short of features!

Value For Money – 9.5/10
You get 8 channels, an effects unit and a 16-in / 16-out Firewire interface all in one. Can’t be bad.

So it’s really worth to read the whole test you see ;)
