tuner dj challenge going hard dey

[pioneer]

is this real life?

[SmokeyGTi]

Fellers..i looking for an NS-6...link me nah...

[rafman]

Guys...anyone here using the JBL PRX635? Want to get a pair, but some of the online reviews have me a little wary.

[SmokeyGTi]

ent masterlinxxx was selling one?

[rafman]

......mackie thump.....behringer b215d......gemini rs415.....???
Which is the most reliable, powerful and value for money?? Already know about the eons and ev's, but what about the above?

[SmokeyGTi]

if you're going mackie I suggest the srm series, not the thump.
to me the behringer gives the most bang for the buck, and they can get pretty loud.
the gemini should be the cheapest.

Would these self powered 15" tops paired with say... 18" subs.
Do you think they will be ok enough for small outside events?

Like the Gemini GVX series?

[rafman]

^^ Also was thinking a pair of the behringers with an 18" sub....
While cost was a big factor, I still want clean and powerful.

[Kasey]

In my humble experience, never owned a Behringer POWERED BOX, BUT i USED THE POWERED 15", AND IT BLEW THE gEMINI, and Thump out the water. The thump is the worst box Mackie ever built. Got a pardner that blew the two on his first job. Go SRM if u goin Mackie.

Anyway, be careful what Behringer product you buy, as the products are sometimes iffy, but the powered boxes work well in most cases than any other in their price range.

Their mixers suck big tim tho..............

Thanks Kasey, that's the kind of feedback I'm looking for.
The behringers I'm considering are the B215D's.

Yes, this was the model i used. We used 4 of these (my pardner's) with two 18" EV powered subs (mines) indoors, and didnt have to even open up all on the boxes. The system sounded loud and clear.

never used the gvx subs, heard one once at low volumes. however, generally they will work well with powered 18's. they are normally used in that configuration.

[DJ Q]

^For small outside events too?

[Centric]

I want to purchase a small DJ system to use for events etc. Nothing big. Any recommendations of what equipment to purchase?

I'm not familiar with sound equipment so I'm not sure where to start. Preferrably something I can use along with a PC with VirtualDJ..

[rafman]

Any recommendations for a powered 18" sub? Considering the EV, but any suggestions are welcome.
If you can include a cost and where to source locally, I'll appreciate it. Thanks.

[SmokeyGTi]

DJQ yeah boy it will work for small outside events.
rafman if you could afford the EV by all means go right ahead.


anyone here using serato ITCH?
i recently started using it...trying HARD to like it....so far not too impressed....what are your views?

[Black_Primera]

I using it smokey.....have to agree, vdj much better in many respects. Itch only performs better for scratching, everything else i prefer vdj. BTW what controller you using?

[SmokeyGTi]

ns6....and you're right, the scratching works tons better in itch...

the stock effects in itch are CRAP..
and who de hell designs software that can't index your music files on the hard drive?
the only thing the search seems to work on are the crates...that sucks..man even tracktor pro does that.

I even hate the fact that files can only be analyzed properly in offline mode..

the bpm engine also works like crap when compared to vdj - not that big an issue as i can beatmatch. the killer for me is that you can't just search all files on harddrive unless you crate ALL your files..

like i saying i trying HARD to like it but...Rane want some serious licks man [/rant]

Interesting comment re blowing the Gemini out the water, cuz I really like the performance of the RS series of powered tops from them. Is it this model that you're comparing it to Kasey?

My main issue with the Behringers is that they don't carry the drive of Mackies, JBL, EV etc, but then again, those brands cost twice as much.

[SmokeyGTi]

Guys,
Does anyone here rent their PA systems?

I have an outdoor gig coming up on August 26th (sports day) and I may need to rent a PA: two tops, two subs (remember its outdoors so eaw type or equivalent) and the relevant power and processing.

I have mics and mixer - using xlr or 1/4" out.

depending on the venue (still to be confirmed) we may or may not have access to the eletrical panel so a generator may have to be used.

btw, i need just the system, not a DJ.

please feel free to pm ballpark figures.
need this asap!
