    Cueing System?

    Yes, but that's a personal gig for me to get comfortable with the system. It is not a paying gig. Thank God.

    Cueing System?

    Having a sound card with 2 outputs that I can swap between makes the most sense to me. A mixer is what I'm used to being that I'm old school from LP days. Plug the headphones into the mixer, listen to the mix while the record is playing, fade from one to the other. So a unit that sits between...

    Cueing System?

    These are great suggestions. I would probably go the cheap route until I get funding to do it right. Since it's just solely being used for the headphone mix only, the $10 route may be okay. Using my 4 channel mixer, the dual CD player obviously can fade between the two sides, and the laptop...

    Cueing System?

    Great advice. As mentioned in previous posts, I did DJ work back in the late 80's and early 90's in clubs before the MP3 phenomenon hit, so I was at a disadvantage coming in clueless with the laptop usage. Unfortunately, the advice I've been getting has been from DJ's who are telling me...

    Cueing System?

    I plan on using Virtual DJ Pro on a laptop when I start doing gigs. My first is on Memorial day that I'm doing for a party at our house. Obviously not getting paid, but I'd rather fail in front of friends than in front of paying clients or a PO'd bride. But my question is about cueing up...

    Well, a couple things to note. First, I do plan to use the laptop as the primary player and not the Gemini. The Gemini is strictly for backup. But these are great things to watch for. Secondly, I'm obviously concerned about blowing the EONS. We walked through the readings on the Carver amp...

    Well I got the system and it looks good. the JBL's are a little beaten up with definite road wear, but it will be decent when they're cleaned up. He dropped the price to $700 since I was going to have put some on a credit card and he opted to give me a price reduction if I paid cash. He had a...

    Ok, hmm. I did not have an EQ. What should I look for in an EQ? I'm using Virtual DJ Professional although I'm not totally sold on it. I'm definitely willing to try Rockit. As for the ballroom scenario, if I'm okay to do a pool party, private party, small half ballroom with these things...

    I had another thread going, but I think when threads get too long people stop reading them because it's just, well, too long. So hopefully I can get some quick answers for this n00bie. Ok, here's the deal. I found a DJ that has a secondary setup that he never uses and he's stored in his...

    All of these suggestions are great. I've actually acquired additional funds and have also found a few deals on Craigs List for JBL's and the EV's at reasonable pricing. But I obviously want to be careful and Im thinking that the rental places might be the best deals for me to go for right now...

    JBL For instance I see a lot of JBL JRX 115's and 125's. they seem to be touted by a lot of DJ frums, but hat's all I really like to know. the brands and models that you tend to see regularly with successful DJ setups. For instance, as a vocalist I always see Shure Beta 58's at almost all...

    ok, I'll try and contact this person people have been mentioning here. But still, I want to keep an eye out for used gear and have no idea what to specifically look for. Can someone give me some brands, specs and model numbers? If I can just make up a list and keep it with me so I don't miss...
