Fact? Nope....

I really suggest you put one of these proffesional Mp3 players to the test. I can mix WAY better with my PCDJ software then I ever could with ANY dual deck CD player! Belive me, this is not only my opinion here. With Vinyl, there are things that could never be done on a computer....but, there are some definate things I can do with my computer I could never do with vinyl.

In the end...isn't all about the music and how the crowd is feelin you?

I am not new to this in the least...I have now been DJing for 8 years...mostly club gigs. If sound quality is what you are worried about, then this is also not a problem in the least...if you encode your tracks at a higher bit rate, such as 192 constant sterio, it is so near CD quality that the majority of people can not tell the difference.

You still have no valid point here? Only that maybe you are a little stuck on yourself and set in your ways...

But to deny this is just being nieve. These systems are being encorporated everywhere. Pick up the last copy of DJ Times Mag or Club Systems International, both have great review articles on Mp3 clubs systems.

You can stand still...or move foward and learn everything there is to know about this business and where it is going. Nowadays, Djs are a dime a dozen ( turntables outsold Guitars in the US 2 to 1 last year!)......the more tools you can add to your arsenal the better.

Or, just be another one of the heard.....

Now THIS is the truth...

At least how i see it.


:hello:
 
by the way...I having been using a PC for the last two years, i have never had a better response from the club owners and crowd....
 
when i mix on decks,
either cd or turntables...the crowd loves it
they don't want some automated process of mixing, they want to see the crossfader move and the kill switches turn and me cue and loop and in action...and when they do, theyliked. I haven't done a big party with mp3's, i know i'm being a bit narrow minded but i think i'll never try it.

peace
 
I use a Rackmount PC....it fits into a 19' standard Rack.
I fit my amp, DMC-01 controller, Vestax 25, and Flat Screen LCD, all in one nice custom case.

don't recommed anyone use a laptop for MP3 djing. At least at this point. The soundcard is one issue, that can be worked around, but is quite difficult. You can either run in mono, or configure and external card....but this way you have to use the internal mixer. I would never DJ with an internal mixer. The Buss speed of most laptops are also not even close to any desktop...this can also cause slight latency issues and skipping. Although I know some people have gotten them to work ok...just wouldn't want to take that risk right now.
One other point to the laptop, is that there are not very upgradable....and there is only some much external devices you can fit.

The Rackmount works beautifully, never had any kind of problem with it. I have custom build my case and all folds up quite nicely for trasport....even as carry on luggage. very roadworthy.

Kind like the one that colorado sound and lighting builds. check em out here www.csnl.com

It works great for me.


:monkey:
 
I still have to work the crowd...PCDJ is hands on,

I still use a controller..just like a CD head unit....and my own mixer. I am NOT sitting back and clicking my mouse, or letting my computer do all the work.

I enjoy DJing....I would never want the CPU to do ALL the work....
