Hi All,
I would like to buy a U-Mix Control Pro 2 and would like to use it with a 10" Android tablet, but I would like to ask some questions before.
I guess I need to use a micro USB - USB cable to connect the tablet to the U-Mix. I would like to connect a stereo amplifier to the U-Mix (Output 1/2 or 3/4) with stereo speakers and a headphone to the front for cue. I would also like to connect a vinyl player to U-Mix (Input 1/2 or 3/4).
The way I would like to mix is turn the Mix knob of the Headphone to Cue and listen to Player 1 only in the Headphone by hitting the Source 1 button on the U-Mix. The Volume fader of Channel 1 is down and the Volume fader of Channel 2 is already up and the track on PLayer 2 is already played on the Output. Once I have done what I would like to do on PLayer 1 I hit Source 2 to be able to listen to Player 2 in the Headphone. Once I get the two tracks synced I would like to turn the Mix knob of the Headphone to Master. In this phase only the track on Player 2 can be heared. Now I push up the Channel 1 volume fader so track 1 will be hearable on Output as well. Mix the two tracks together by the Bas/Mid/Treble knobs and pull the Channel 2 volume fader down so now only Channel 1 can be heared on the output. In this way I do not even need to take off the headphone or if I do not connect anything to the Output of the U-Mix I can still have some fun (in silent).
1. Will I able to mix like this? If not what is the bottleneck in the proccess and why? (I had Pioneer stuff before and used to this kind of mixing and the avaiability to mix only in headphone).
2. Does the micro USB - USB cable included in the U-Mix package?
3. Will I have any advantage of using Android 5 rather than Android 4.4?
4. Do I need to buy an active USB hub as well or I will be able to power the U-Mix from the DC cable and use it with the tablet at the same time?
Sorry for the long letter and complicated questions
Unfortunately I do not have a chance to try the U-Mix out before buying it so I need to order it online and I would like to make sure I will choose the correct device to my needs!
Thank you in advance!
