    10 or 12 inch 4 channel mixer?

    So I just bought myself a pair of pristine Denon 3500 Cd decks after wanting a CDJ setup for several years. Always had 19 inch console and recently went digital with a Denon HD2500 as my controller... But I wanted the feel of vinyl for serato. So now I'm thinking I'd like to use this to...

    So I was thinking it's time for me to start over. At the beginning of it all is business cards. I'd like to have two lines of discussion here - 1 - What should be on your business card? What message should it send? What have you found offers you the flexibility to target many types of...

    MJ sets

    So it's been a while after we lost MJ - The King of Pop, and his music is still going strong. I almost think that between the higher rates of divorce and MJs music coming back to the bar / lounge world, we're seeing a new older crowd in the bar and a new push for 80s nights. So over the last...

    Remixes

    Where do you get your remixes from? more and more I'm having a lot of fun with beat mixing with Serato and Virtual DJ and love what you can do with the intros and outtros... but more most of the music I have is album cuts or radio edits. Where is a good place to get versions with intros and...

    Bar gigs

    So I haven't really ever focused on the bar/club market - but I like the idea that you get to play more with newer music and it's more performing and less planning - well other than music that I do anyhow. With that I'd like to ask everyone what they money is like, and how do you normally...

    Guitar Center Labor Day Sale?

    I stopped in to my local GC yesterday and was amazed to see that the Labor Day Sale List was HORRIBLE!!! Year there was stuff at 70 points off, but most was in the 20s and 30s - Prices we see everyday from or normal channels? So why pay more for demo gear and the opportunity to pay sales...

    What's hot for this Memorial Day weekend?

    I know it's cheating - but I've been out of practice for the last six months or so with some family problems.... Essentially - I became a single dad and fighting though a divorce... All good, just made me lose touch for a while. So, a gig fell in my lap for memorial day. Private party...

    Picked up a Rock N' Roller cart today

    Can't believe I've waited so long - but I finally picked one up today. Got the R10 at GC for $125. But I'm really not impressed with the quality. The plastic end caps above the smaller wheels were broken, and the cap to cover the air-filled tires were missing.... and I'm a tab bit (ok...

    Going price for pair of JBL EON 15G2s?

    I'm working out a deal to buy a used paid of JBL EON 15 G2s from a guy locally. It's a big thing for me - something I've wanted to do for a while - just wasn't sure if it was gonna be the Mackie 450s or the EONS. Well - I got to play with the EONS at a Corp Holiday party I did a few weeks...

    DJ Screen?

    I just found this promo video for DJ Screens on YouTube and thought it looked cool. Anyone ever use one? The $250 price tag seems steep for a piece of spandex cloth (when I work in the NYC fashion district)... do you think you can make the same with some fabric from one of the local...

    Yamaha tops ... Replace woofers or not?

    Well I know they are old - but they are mine. One of my 2nd hand S115III top's seems to have a woofer that is going. It just doesn't throw the sound that the other one does. I moved the woofer from one cabinet to the other only to find that the reduced bass follows... so it seems that I...

    Best sound cards

    I haven't looked into this for a while, but might start looking now that I have a legal copy of PCDJ Red on the way... In prior days the Gigaport AG USB device looked really good, the Maya44 and Indigo DJ also looked good. All were in the $150-$250 range. So what is everyone doing for...

    The perfect disaster

    Amazing. Did a 60th birthday party today. Everyone had a great time, but I have to say that EVERYTHING went wrong. Party started at 3:30 and was supposed to go until about 8pm. Actually went until 9. Fine with me. Loaded in at 2:00pm. Simple gig, two tops on sticks, console, no...

    Whats the deal with ADJA

    I've been reading a lot of screaming on the other boards about the ADJA privatizing and becoming a for-profit corporation out on DJ Dr Drax's home state of Arizona. Now, I haven't been a great catholic or a great ADJA member. Infact my ADJA membership expired this month and now I'm trying...

    Thinking about a Yorkie 700p

    A local guy has a Yorkville 700p that seems to be in pretty good shape, haven't had the chance to hear it... But do you think that the dual 10" woofers with 700w amp would do a decent job along with two Yamaha S115IIIs and later a pair of Mackie 450s? I want to go to active speakers to dump...
