If I had a TTM57SL maybe, but I have an SL2. The Record wouldn’t take what I’m doing on the mixer into consideration.
MemberI dont really care about it being an external mixer, I’m not gonna hook up my cdjs to the ns6 if i get it and i have 2 mixers already. And this is for music videos, not for video clips, I dont need trigger pads.
I’m just looking for a good controller for portable setups and for music videos
Also I’m not interested in the vestax 380 AT ALL
MemberThe place I work at has a rep as the ghetto bar where undesirables hang out and a lot of college kids are afriad to go in there becuase of the older minority crowds from the next town over.
If I give him a CD mix, A) He wont waste his time listening to it, B) He may not notice the difference with good mixing, hes like 60 years old.
The DJ there already knows I want his job, weve talked shop before and I could tell after a little while he was getting a little uneasy with what I do compared to him the walking playlist

Yeah but I need more than that, thats just one thing.
MemberThey want me on it like 25 times a night, I need things to say, I dont know how much to come up with
MemberTodd Oddity, post: 13441, member: 1042 wrote: I do mostly mainstream/top 40 venues and the trick is selection and placement and good clean mixes between tracks. Try and program 20 to 30 minute sets of a similar vibe that constantly build in energy, then slam in something else and start again. This keeps the dance floor energy up, but also rotates your crowd to the bar – and if you want to impress the owners/managers, make them money!
Try and get a sense early just how mainstream this place is. If it is your typical top 40 bar/club, they aren’t going to respond well to you going effects nuts and cutting up their tracks – they want to sing along. For the actual mixes, try and line them up so that when song A hits its out, the main kick of song B hits – only leave long instrumental breaks if you are making announcements, or they are really, really interesting for some reason. If they are throwing their hands up constantly, you’re probably on the right track.
Not sure where you are located – but that’s the top 40 trick around here, and most of the places I’ve been to around North America… But most importantly, stay calm and enjoy yourself and you’ll do just fine. Good luck!
PS. Almost forgot, don’t let a ladder stop you from bringing what you need. I place I used to work at quite a few years ago had that kind of booth, and I’d just load my decks (it was the pre-digital days) into backpacks and have the doormen pass them up to me. Space is the booth is your limitation, don’t let access issues slow you down.
theres no room for gear either, i could bring a itch controller when i get on but thats about it. im in the northeast too, like erie pennsylvania, the problem though is the owner loves country, and none of the crowd, mainly college kids likes it, but the djs have to play it or they get fired which is stupid

I want a good second mixer, and it to have 4 channelsNevermind, we can close this thread. If I’m buying a 4 channel it will be the Xone:92
MemberVinnyBlanc, post: 10688 wrote: My first set of dj headphones and I’m only at home right now so no complaints. I’m sure they will serve as a decent back up pair eventually. I don’t know if I have a big neck or the cups are super large but they are a little tight when hanging around my neck. Also wish they had the coiled cord.
They’re my backup pair as well and I agree about it being a noose around you neck, I like to be able to walk around with headphones, especially when theyre so bulky, but they’re pretty comfortable on my head
MemberDJ Hessler, post: 10409 wrote: That would work very well IMO. And I do not believe that your gear has taken any affect by being in your car.
Just think of that any electrical equipment should not been used before reaching room temperature if it has been in
a very hot or cold place. Just take it inside and wait a while before connecting it and you will be fine.I just put them on my headshells but forgot the plastic washers under the screws, is it that important? will there be any electric feedback becuase of it?
MemberArbite, post: 10413 wrote: So much no on this. Sorry, but that is a bad idea.
I didnt wanna say it but I knew not to go with it
I found another possible set in the form of Numark Red Wave, if anyone has tried them I hear the reviews on them are pretty good.MemberDJ Hessler, post: 10366 wrote: I would guess not so very important, but I saw when doing a search in Google that most users of M44-7
uses the technics 1200 headshells so it would proberbly be a good recommendation.
Other than that I would look for gold platted connectors on the headshell….
The cold car would not effect them but moisture would.I have stanton headshells, and they were sealed in its container
MemberDJ Hessler, post: 10329 wrote: There is a difference in headshells!
There are 1 or 2 cartidges depending on what you bought??//DJ Hessler
how important are headshells.
I bought shure M44-7 carts, I checked its one per package
also I left them overnight in my car and it was pretty cold, will that affect them at all?
MemberKranic, post: 10239 wrote: I settled for the HDJ2Ks in the end, as my ears get itchy from on-ear headphones.
Idk, the HDJ1Ks break fairly often, hence buying the 2Ks, as their design is much more sturdy.
It’s down to personal preference and music style in the end, because different music sounds differently on different headphones.
I dont wanna spend much more than $100, as I already have a solid pair, just looking for a secondary pair for comfort
MemberArbite, post: 10197 wrote: Not elevated as in Beats by Dre elevated. More a slight emphasis on the sub 100hz and above 5000hz ranges in the headphones. Noticeable enough so that it makes it easier to hear the beat when cuing a new song in the headphones, but not enough to cause any kind of distortion. In fact they’re very good listening headphones as well. They have the clarity that Shure is well known for in their monitoring headphones.
Personally, I would steer clear of the A&H and the Technics cans because they don’t have the removable cable that you will almost certainly need.
My senns dont have a removable cable either
MemberThere quite uncomforable for long periods of time
