    Electro Voice Live X. It would at up to, $2699.00. and thats 2 tops 2 subs. i run this setup, and i can handle 350 heads easy, all night withough a single limiter light, at 8/10 volume. they are unbelievable, and, they sound warm, musical, and the bass from the tops alone is enough for say, a outdoor bbq. give it a look see. http://www.amazon.com/Electro-Voice-ELX115P-ELX118P-Active-System/dp/B00GJ5QZOA/ref=sr_1_3?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1433540394&sr=1-3&keywords=ev+elx118p

    well, i did it, i went to the technical preview. ok, first, i would at this time recommend every windows user running traktor, please, just do it. i get better sound QUALITY, less RAM usage, less cpu meter spikes, less cpu usage, better latency, and the audio spikes that do occur are normally because of a network adapter, level out faster, not to mention the audio breakup is not as severe as 8.1. as far as the OS itself, love it. friendlier, smarter prettier faster, think the functionality of 8 with the reliability of 7. Nike said it best. just do it.

    Yeah, i dont think you will even need a sub if you get the right top boxes. I just bought 2 Electro Voice elx115p and they are amazing. For the price definitely the best I’ve heard. The bass response is good enough for rap and edm, and the horns will blow you out the water at close range. They are clear loud and punchy. I picked mine up from AMS for $1300, and ill buy the matching 118p,in due time, but if i need them, I’ll rent, and charge it to the customer. I look at it like this, yeah it’s an expensive venture, but to be your own boss, do something ppl truly wish they could do, get to play with music in ways that makes you feel like an artist, make money, and meet many new ppl,its worth it. Besides, most of the equipment is a one time buy, so, it can all pay for itself. Take a wedding, you really don’t even have to mix, they are baserunning your PA, mic, and MC skills, for a few hours and making 500 to 1000 bucks. And if it doesn’t work out, sell it. My advice, dont be scurd, cough it up, spend the cash on what u want, because you will wish u did when it all works itself put. I’ve spent 4000 I 2 months last year, but guess what, I have a very badass kit for a DJ only 3 years into it. And i started with hdj1500,audio2mk2 card, and my laptop with traktor. Now, well, let’s just say if you need a dj, you better advance me, cuz i get to pick and choose my gigs. Good luck.

    The thing is, my machine needs to be factory reset. It is running nine Traktor and ableton well, but it is my everyday computer and it is laggy and very slow, i have everything backed up but it came with Windows 8, im on 8.1.microsort didn’t tell us we need the 8 recovery media to reset from 8.1. So I’m having to boot from an is file from digital river of Windows. I didn’t get a install disk, and it’s a pain in the ass. But, i think u guys are right, IL wait on it. But this recovery issue, is making life rather Unpleasant. I’m Almost an Apple fan now. And i believe apple is the apitomy of conformist America, but we won’t get in to that. I have an hp envy 15-j011dx. It is a great machine, but 2 years of daily data has taken its toll. Any ideas? Maybe someone could mail me some 8 recovery, lol. Thanks for the input, and i will honest give whoever can send me the solution, a copy of Traktor Pro 2. Hit me up on Facebook, Scott Watkins in Louisiana. Or sjwatkins27@gmail.com, put the subject as Windows blows. Thanks everyone.
