    Looking for Controller recommendations (based on actual experience,)

    STFU already. To everyone else: Nice knowing you all. I'm outta here.

    Looking for Controller recommendations (based on actual experience,)

    Easy. They're on the top panel of the controller. When you put the controller in a soft case and close/zip it up, especially one where it's a tight fit (because the controller is almost a half-inch taller than the controllers that the case was designed for), pressure is put on the buttons...

    Looking for Controller recommendations (based on actual experience,)

    I think you'd be better off buying two of the Roland controllers. Less of a learning curve, smaller form factor, and better build quality (and sound card). I used a Pioneer DDJ-SZ (big) for 10 years and recently switched to a Rane Four (smaller but slightly heavier), and bought the Roland...

    Looking for Controller recommendations (based on actual experience,)

    There are people further up the chain at GC that can get you better pricing than a 15% coupon discount. It's all who you know. I hate DIY-ing cases and having to buy stuff to modify something that should've been designed right in the first place. The thickness of the DJ707m is also a...

    Looking for Controller recommendations (based on actual experience,)

    While they've saved me some money at times, it's nowhere near 22%. Sometimes the savings is only a penny, due to manufacturer restrictions.

    Looking for Controller recommendations (based on actual experience,)

    KPODJ doesn’t have a case. They don’t sell Roland gear, either, so they’re not helpful here. In general, they have ok prices though. No case on eBay, hard or soft. There are bigger cases that it’ll fit in, but not snugly. And there’s no reason to buy a bigger case if you’re looking to keep...

    Looking for Controller recommendations (based on actual experience,)

    If you only need tactile control, the Hercules controller is fine. So are any of the smaller Pioneer ones that are USB powered and have RCA outputs. The Roland DJ707m is a different beast altogether... and it's pretty awesome. I bought one a month ago and I'm impressed by all of its'...

    Tube light recommendations?

    I would've put a QR code on that (on the top half) and taken off the phone number. The info at the bottom won't even be noticed if the banner is behind you or obscured by gear, people or even something as small as a beer bottle.

    Are you planning to attend DJ EXPO in Atlantic City this year?

    I won't be going. Honestly, this is the first mention I've seen of it anywhere. It's probably dying a slow death.

    Thought I'd share this

    The whole service is sketchy AF. Backlinks are fine, but if they're not on sites/pages that reflect the same type of business or industry that you're part of, you're just buying spam. If you think it's working, stick with the lowest-tier option only. Also, keep in mind that this is the...

    I love the new speakers I bought!

    This was disproven a while ago. It's the same wattage, but with more power going to the woofer than the driver in the 12.2 model. The 12.2 models measure exactly 1db louder than the originals.

    What does your years of experience have to do with the quality and sound of a speaker?

    Assuming it wasn't a FREE / Charity gig... Cheapest you ever charged?

    $25. It's what I charged for my very first event back in 1986 - a school dance. I was 13 and had just bought a DJ mixer with winnings from the local mall's back-to-school rap contest. I really really really wanted to be a DJ.

    Here is the power strip I bought from Ebay.

    Too bad. You could've paid less and you wouldn't have had to ship it back if there was a problem with it. P.S. - Clean your room.

    TikTok ads?

    100% this. Or just send me a script.... I'm in the studio every weekday. No charge.

    I just ordered some new speakers.

    Okay so I totally get that. I hate asking too, which is why I have a garage full of gear, 90% of it which never gets used. People do ask me if THEY can borrow or rent things from me. I only let things go out to people I trust, but the answer is always yes, come get it. Usually there's no...

    Should've just borrowed two of his when needed. :D

    I just ordered some new speakers.

    K12.2's have had problems - they shut down without warning, going into Protect Mode prematurely. Personally, I'd avoid these.

    Backup equipment

    It's 2024. I feel bad for anyone still using CD players.

    I just pulled the plug on a 6000.

    Jiminy Christmas... it's a no for me, dawg.

    I just pulled the plug on a 6000.

    Not sure the answer matters, to be honest. Both versions are 10 years old and considered obsolete at this point. The most recent drivers for the MC6000 were released in 2015.

    Looks like my van was stolen.

    I hate to be the skeptical guy, but Mix has 3800 Facebook friends and I don't see any mention of his stolen van there. Not saying it didn't happen. Just be cautious before sending gear or money.

    Looks like my van was stolen.

    You sure it wasn't your controller? Hope you kept a record of serial numbers.

    This is the surprise my partner had for me.

    It's probably not stand-mountable. Just unload it.

    Roland 707??

    Great controller... a beast, really. The only downside is that it has a really small form factor, which is great if you're looking for something super compact and not so great if you like having some space or want something more impressive-looking. Jog wheels are small. Mixer section is...
