There is one huge disadvantage of laptop DJ'ing though. It encourages irresponsible DJ'ing. It's way too easy to set up a playlist and go off and have a few dances. The number of times I have seen unattended laptops just sitting there chugging away while the DJ cuts a rug.... Although there are cas...

I volunteer at my campus radio station, so I have access to the studio and all the proper recording and computer gear. My faculty of music also has a nice collection on LP. Now if only there were 40 hours in the day so I could actually find the time to use it all :? Yes, time is definitely the bigg...

I looked into them, but rejected getting one. They are convenient and nifty and seemed like EXACTLY what I wanted/needed, but if I am going to go to all that work of digitizing my LP collection, I want the results to be as close to perfect as possible. Both audiophile and computer-geek tests have re...

You can get rid of it by eliminating the ground (not ideal), running on battery, getting an extension cord and using a different outlet, or using an isolation transformer I've tried running to different outlets, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Running on battery does work, but that's not ...

The Disc Doctor will NOT get glue that resilient off. Not even if it worked perfectly and the rubber spokes did not collapse. It is designed to get very superficial scratches off, and the rubber-spoked wheel is designed to NOT put that much pressure on the CD. Also, soaking a CD in oil is NOT a good...

Repost since the boards reset: a link I cam across while looking up causes for laptop audio hum http://ask.metafilter.com/20028/Laptop-Audio-Hum I always get a hum when I connect my laptop to speakers. The intensity varies from place to place, though it doesn't seem to matter if the speakers are on...

Thanks for the update Brent. I guess that's what happens when Apple lets Intel design the innards of their gear. I just picked up a Turtle Beach Advantage Micro while I as in Vancouver for Lindy Bout. I'm impressed that it Just Worked(tm). The only thing I found was that it tended to be a little we...

The other stuff that got deleted pertained to the discussion of using polishing compound and then car wax with your own rag on the UNDERSIDE of the CD. The top side (with the writing) is just a thin membrane that contains the digital information. The underside of a CD is just regular plastic, which ...

Typically, most songs that change tempo ultimately double the tempo, which provides such an abrupt shift for dancers that I completely avoid playing any song that suddenly changes tempo. For listening, it might be fine, but when dancing and turning that music into physical form, it is just too abrupt.
