What is the "stove top" model?I am curious, Did you buy the stove top model ?
That's a joke about me putting my controller on the stove to test it out because there's no other place we could test out the controller.What is the "stove top" model?
I definitely don't want the Rane Performer (which is as big as a stove top.)
I've been known to bake cables at 200 Deg. to straighten them. To each his own.That's a joke about me putting my controller on the stove to test it out because there's no other place we could test out the controller.
It arrived yesterday, and the sweet part is I can simply modify my existing case for this controller and it will be 5-6 Lbs lighter to boot. Not as thrilled about it's plastic enclosure, but at least it will be well protected.The only con right now is that NOBODY makes a case for it. Not even a soft case. NLFX made their own batch of slider cases for it, but I heard that there were problems with it (the DJ707m is about a half-inch taller than most controllers, so any shelf above it needs extra clearance or it's not going to work for transport). Pro-X is supposedly bringing back their discontinued case soon... maybe just a week or two from now.
What are your thoughts on the new controller? Have you used it yet?It arrived yesterday, and the sweet part is I can simply modify my existing case for this controller and it will be 5-6 Lbs lighter to boot. Not as thrilled about it's plastic enclosure, but at least it will be well protected.
If you want a slide case you can just give the needed interior dimensions to any case maker and they could easily make one. A stock case for a specific DJ product isn't a sure thing. The market isn't that large and a lot of DJ gear buyers don't uses cases at all.
I haven't been using Serato so I'll have to check my license status, and I also have to get it set for other software as well, so that will take some time. I've had 2 gigs already this week, will be in the theater today, and an AV gig on Sunday. I also want to add a new PC. August looks slower, and I don't have any significant DJ gigs in the short term so I hope to get it fully squared away by the end of August.What are your thoughts on the new controller? Have you used it yet?
If that is the 707m you don’t need a separate serato dj pro license. The controller unlocks serato dj pro for you.I haven't been using Serato so I'll have to check my license status,
Sweet! Thanks for the heads up.If that is the 707m you don’t need a separate serato dj pro license. The controller unlocks serato dj pro for you.
Nothing is unfailable. Yet that's why it's suggested that you buy high quality equipment so it's less likely to fail.That's typically for change-over to another DJ or a different content source (i.e. audio laptop versus video laptop.)
I would not rely on that as a backup, because if the controller (MIDI) section is the thing that hiccups or fails the second PC may also be rendered inaccessible, even if just for a re-boot.
If I have another laptop feeding a downstream matrix then I can continue playing not only when a the main laptop crashes, but also if the controller/mixer itself were to fail.
Good advice.Nothing is unfailable. Yet that's why it's suggested that you buy high quality equipment so it's less likely to fail.
I found the new stoves to be a bit pricey, so I settled for a retrofitted road case.Do as I say, not as I do.
Same thing when you buy speakers, never get new speakers without the appropriate bags or cases for themLet me suggest in the future if a DJ is looking into getting a controller, check and see if there's a case that the controller will fit into.
