Any reason you are stuck on a V8? Modern V6s have incredible torque. Diesels have the highest torque.

This is not for me. Too many options! I guess if you are mixing every day on this unit you will eventually remember all the options available to you. I personally don't like all the shift keys and double taps needed to access features. I'm surprised it doesn't come with cup holders. It is...

I have a CB10. I use it a lot. It is my new go-to speaker for charity events. I find that its mixer DSP is very basic compared to my under-powered JBL EON Compacts. The EONs also have USB outputs to support phone charging or power for wireless receivers. I have given my feedback directly to the...

Have you tried listing your gear on Reverb.com. I see a lot of DJ gear there. I bought a guitar from a seller there during the pandemic. It was a good experience.

It may lose nutrients if wet, but does it become less allergenic? My allergies act up just driving behind a truck carrying hay bales.

I find it interesting that you are offering any advice on karaoke, a service that you don't perform yourself and an activity you never mentioned participating in. And why should I offer free training/advice to a KJ that is a two-hour flight away from me that I will never see again? I have...

I gave a talk at Mobile Beat over twenty years where I said a basic switch represents a 50/50 chance of you setting it wrong. Each additional switch lowers your probability of setting them all correctly. A knob gives you infinite possibilities to set things wrong. My advice was that if you don't...

My wife and I were in OR this weekend and went out to sing with some friends. The bar had a ~150" projection screen, stage that could hold a 6 piece band and a room that could seat about 70 or more. The hostess used a single Bose Pro 8, Mackie 802 mixer (no effects) and a Shure BLX dual channel...

The good bands do HEAVY rehearsing. There are two local bands that I am close with. One does mashups all the time. They may add in a few lines from 3 or 4 other songs on top of the song they started. You sometimes never know what they will hit you with. They don't stop between songs during a...

There are still some DJs in my area that I have kept in touch with over 20+ years. Many are now multi-ops and/or have branched out beyond DJing. I trust their employees are up to their standards. It has been over a decade since I published my number, so I rarely get calls. Friends though still...

Like the others, I have a variety of speakers. My mains for larger (for me that is) events is my old 15" 2-way Yamaha MS-400s, It was a great sounding but short-lived offering because it was late to the market, heavy and not priced competitively. I still get compliments on their sound though...

I remember being asked to join here when it was formed. I joined out of curiosity but kept loyal to Chat and rarely posted. My loyalty was due to a series of connections and opportunities made by Sid and the Chat community that led to huge changes in my life such as switching industries and...

The forums really helped elevate the industry 25+ years ago. They drove traffic to conventions and membership to associations. I developed many great relationships. Lots of factors have led to their fall from popularity. I am happy that this forum still exists. I prefer this format over newer...

The event was last night. The playlist went over much better than I expected. It contained Latin influenced jazz, Latin covers of English pop songs and salsa music. The first hour of the event was my standard corporate background playlist while people gathered and ate. The company, I learned...

I used Spotify and some AI suggestions to put together a playlist tonight. I was pretty happy with it but had some lingering doubts because this gig isn't my typical event. A good friend of ours stopped by tonight and I used it the opportunity to run it by her. She is bilingual of Mexican...
