    Next Tech: Ground Loop/Lift

    I have a few. I used to teach the NFPA70E (electrical safety) program before I retired. Would often start out the class with them. I also have pics of the boneheads who tried stealing copper from energized equipment. Not pretty...

    Next Tech: Ground Loop/Lift

    I’ve worked in the older 40 cal, not fun. Some have cooling devices now. Under today’s NFPA70E rules it should be a rare event to work on anything energized with the exception of utilities. There were very few electrical safety rules when I started. I mostly just drink beer now :)

    Next Tech: Ground Loop/Lift

    Sorry you are very wrong. I’ve installed diodes and SCRs so large they’re water cooled. Many have failed open, totally blown apart. You apparently do not understand the purpose of a equipment ground. I’ve been installing electrical equipment since 1977. Please explain how a breaker will trip...

    Next Tech: Ground Loop/Lift

    If your proposing inserting this circuit in series with the existing equipment ground, it could interfere with ground fault current , if you have one. Which would also slow the circuit breaker reaction time and increase equipment damage. Especially if the diodes fail. The resistor will defeat...

    I bet your DJ service doesn't offer this

    He's actually a massage therapist too. For $800 bucks you get the DJ services, a bartender, uplighting and the bridal party gets a massage.

    What happens if you get to a venue and don't have ground continuity?

    The equipment ground (at receptacle) is bonded to the "grounded conductor" usually called, but not always the neutral at the main service panel. The grounded conductor also is bonded to the building piping, ground rods, rerods, building steel, etc. through a grounding electrode conductor. The...

    Freestyler Dongle

    I have an Obey 40 DMX controller. Is there any advantage to using software based/dongle controllers when just using simple setups? I just have a couple colorstrips and a dozen pars. I may purchase a couple of moving heads.

    Drone help

    Great drone. My son has the same. I use mine for photos and occasionally a video. Range is not an issue for me. Line of sight mostly. Makes me nervous when I can’t find it in the sky. :)

    Drone help

    I have both the DJI Spark and the DJI Phantom Pro 3. Both great drones. They’re also easy to fly due to gps. The Spark is great for taking quick photos or vids because setup is quick. The Phantom takes a more professional photo and 4K video. Spark with the controller around 699. There is a...

    Drone help

    I have the DJI Phantom Pro. Love it. It's easy to fly and takes great pics and vids. However DJI just came out with the Mavic Pro. Much smaller, faster setup. Will probably be my next.

    Rick Ryan

    Hey gang. Thinking about purchasing the 788h model. However I also want a body pack but the info on them say they will only work on the 733 and 787 model receiver. Does anyone know if that's truly the case? Thanks.

    I could use some help

    The manual says that these lights have a manual dimming mode.

    How much is this setup worth used?

    If you decide to part it out, I may be interested in the 4500. I could use it as a backup. Depends on price of course.

    URGENT HELP NEEDED. Problems With Traktor LE.. Can anybody help?..

    You will get that msg. For a number of reasons. All described in your warning msg. Most common is you have not told your software what folders your storing your music in. Use explorer or finder depending on your OS and drag the same song to a deck. If that works you need to go to your setup...

    DJ Software with built in DMX

    Hey Rick do you see in the future, where the same DJ software will also control dmx lighting? Instead of just setting a cue point, we would also be able to set dmx cue points or triggers for our lighting.?

    Anybody here ever built a garage? (to house your DJ vehicle)

    I tore down my one car and rebuilt to a two car, two story. Plan was all the junk goes upstairs and cars down. All the junk did go upstairs.....but new junk downstairs. I've had my garage 15 years now and only had my uncles car in there once to change brakes for him. My truck and wife's car have...

    Trouble with Traktor 2

    Looking at pic http://i43.tinypic.com/1124g9t.jpg none of the buttons under your filter knobs are lit. At least one needs to be. This is where you tell the decks what effects unit your assigning to it. Either 1, 2 or both must be lit to work. None are!

    Trouble with Traktor 2

    As Houston said..also try this.....assuming you have'nt edited your layout choices go to the extended screen. In the center of the screen you'll see your gain, filter knobs and FX buttons for each deck. There you'll have a choice for effects units 1 and 2 to assign to each deck. If their not...

    Trouble with Traktor 2

    Does the controller have a wet/dry mix knob? I know you said you tried with a mouse, but I'll ask anyway. Did you set up your choice of effects to use in the Traitor setup menu? Does the controller have a wet/dry mix knob?
