The reason I ask the question is because... I honestly don't know. I’ve always been one to try to look ahead... to try and assess where technology is going. What’s on the horizon.... what’s next? I was pretty good at it as an IT professional, but as a DJ???... Not so much.[emoji23]
Notice this thread is not in the DIY forum, because I haven't decided on what I'm gonna build yet. In fact, I was gonna hold off posting this for a few months, but after @DJ Taso posted pics of his new setup...
DJ Taso's New Setup
... it just fit right in what I've been thinking about. Then @rickryan.com posted his newest setup...
Rick Ryan's Setup
Are these the kind of systems DJ's are going to???
Both my systems are in racks...
Some say racks are passé. Maybe they are? If so, what’s next? I've been looking at a lot of options, and I thought I'd share some of them here. There are a BUNCH of options to buy, and of course you can build anything you can imagine if you have the skills or the tools. Or you can have someone else build from your design. Here's some of the options I've considered...
... And thers's MANY more. As I've said in my last DIY thread, my next system WILL NOT be a rack system. Something on a table top or podium is what I've been thinking, but I still want the advantages of a rack system, which is easy setup due to having everything pre-wired. So here's a conceptual drawing of what I'm thinking about...
I'm looking at going with a larger controller, like maybe a Denon MC7000, and a table top mixer, like perhaps a PreSonus StudioLive AR8. I have a really nice mixer that I rarely use (Allen & Heath ZED 10FX), but it lacks the Bluetooth I discovered I REALLY like in my Denon DN-410X.
So this is what I'm thinking. What are you guys doing??? Anybody else planning a on a NEW LOOK?
