ParticipantMy thing is that I don’t want to lose four decks. I’ve read various reviews that noted that the sample decks don’t have Key Lock. Major stumbling block for me.
ParticipantThat’s what I’m thinking. Although, I may purchase 2.0 soon, in case NI decides to raise the price for upgrading.
ParticipantNot much to look at, but get’s the job done.
ParticipantSo are decks C & D available in a pull down menu like Traktor Pro?
Looks like I’m going to have to learn how to map controllers. 😮
ParticipantWhat controller are you using? Can decks C & D be controlled by the Kontrol X1?

Great link!
If you have a printer that will print directly onto CDs (or you’re really good with a felt marker), I recommend Taiyo Yunden printable dics. These have labels that won’t come off and jam up your CDJs.
If you want a regular CD then try the Taiyo Yunden silver discs.
This is the brand that I have used in the past with NO coasters and NO problem with CD rot.
And lastly, if your CD burner is old (as in has burned hundreds of discs), consider purchasing a new burner. Old CD burners cause errors making your CDs likely to cause the dreaded “Disc Error” (ask me how I know).
ParticipantThe problem with a dusty area isn’t that dust will get on your CDs, is that it’ll get into the CD players.
Anyway, will there be CDJs there for you to use or are you going to have to bring your own?ParticipantWill Marshall, post: 3475 wrote:

I’m going to Burning Man this year, and will be playing several sets while I’m there. Because it’s a harsh and dusty environment, I don’t want to bring my laptop or controller. Instead, I will be making do with CDs.So you wanna bring CDs to a dusty enviroment?
I’m not sure on how you should organize your CD’s but I’ll tell you this, DO NOT burn any MP3 CDs.
Most peopkle really don’t know how to burn them properly (not trying to be insulting, just saying) and because of that, they are more prone to skipping.Audio (WAV) CDs are less prone to skipping and will work in ANY player.

With that price range, I would suggest checking out some factory refurbished laptops. Most come with full warranty’s.

I have to have it plugged in to be able to run properly as when plugged into mains it gets overclocked to make the most out of it.Everyone says its stupid djing with a “netbook” but Its light… cheap…. if it got robbed it wouldnt be as bad as a 2500 euro macbook getting stollen, and I can fit it (in its case) in my bag with my 2 main controllers
That’s because netbooks are a bit light on processing power.
To the OP, my laptop and specs are in my sig. As for what I would recommend, first, how much are you willing to spend? And second which do you prefer, Mac or Windows?
Participant[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]1. What headphones do you own? Denon HP-1000s, Denon HP-700s.

[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]2. What headphones do you DJ with? [/COLOR][/FONT][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]The HP-1000s are good headphones to DJ with as well as studio use. They isolate well and extended use doesn’t give me ear fatigue. The HP-700s are just okay for practice, but I don’t recommend them to play out. The just don’t isolate very well.[/COLOR][/FONT]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]3. Could you reccomend me any headphones? I’ve heard that the [/COLOR][/FONT]AIAIAI TMA 1 headphones are really good. Might have to save up for a pair.ParticipantEmma Partnow, post: 2698 wrote: …
If You Think You Are Great; You Are Great 😎In that case, I am as great as Ron Hardy! 😎 (ducking)
ParticipantI was told that a Good DJ reacts to the crowd and feeds into their vibe.
A Great DJ controls the crowd getting them to feed into his/her vibe.
Great examples Larry Levan and Ron Hardy. -
