Re: Cable management for the OCD DJ
There are no wireless based MIDI controllers that I have seen on the market. That you've seen, maybe, but that's because you haven't looked, not because they're not there. :) Googlification trivially yields, for instance: True. I did only check Native Instruments, Pioneer, Akai, Numark, Denon, Behr...

Re: Cable management for the OCD DJ
nice ideas, the quicker everything is wireless the better. It will be a VERY long time until wireless takes over the wires inside a DJ booth. If nothing else, there will be a power supply running to the laptop and mixer and even more to the remainder of the PA system. While I can run on a laptop ba...

Re: Where do you get your music?
I purchase my music. That is the #1 best way to build a collection. I like amazon's mp3 service over iTunes. Anything you purchase is stored in their cloud "indefinitely." You can sync multiple computers and mobile devices to that cloud. Some CDs that you purchase have "AutoRip" ...

Re: MacBook Air 13'' for DJing?
[*]Will a display resolution of 1440x900 be sufficent for Traktor LE? That's the resolution that I use (on a 15" screen :roll: ) and it is fine for 2 decks. 4 deck layouts get a bit cramped. You can switch in and out of a "full screen" file browser, and that makes a HUGE difference (...

Re: MacBook Air 13'' for DJing?
I'm old. I need bigger text and more screen space than a 13" laptop provides.SiMonster wrote:Does anybody have experiences with this device for DJing? Is a 13'' enough in your opinion?
Thanks for your toughts and ideas!

Cable management for the OCD DJ
Just in case you hate having to mess with a nest of cables when you setup in the booth.... I have a custom snake that connects the laptop, controller, soundcard...but the box is a nice upgrade. The Sterlite container is really prone to cracking when broken, so round holes are better. Or, a slightly ...

DJ Philosophy - Ean Golden Interview
I have been following Ean Golden for several years now. I really appreciate his thoughtful approach to his role in the DJ booth. His thoughts on the role of the DJ, and the right (and wrong) way to incorporate technology into his performance are certainly worth considering. His style is not for ever...

Re: How to be a better Swing DJ
The "philosophy" discussion was a reasonable place for beginners to start. While I understand that there are a great many exceptions to what was presented...overall it was a reasonable foundation upon which to build. The entire "technical" discussion made me physically wince. It ...

Wireless mics...may need to change....again.
In 2009 & 2010 I spent almost $1700 on new wireless mics to get out of the 700MHz band. It's like deja vu all over again.

Audio Preservation
This is awesome. I wonder how long until there are commercial services, or "home units" that will be able to do something similar with your collection of vinyl.
