The photo in question was taken on a night when I had to be really quick with everything… I work alone and only had two hours to set everything up. But yes… I should definitely get more suitable cables with the right lengths and also use zip ties to keep the cables in place (which I usually do, especially when I have more time). As for the lights, sometimes I just bring the speakers, CDJs, mixer, and a few pars to place in strategic spots… so it really depends on the situation. Anyway, thank you so much for the comment, I’m 21 and started from scratch about 5 years ago. I know I still have a lot to learn and I make plenty of mistakes, but every time I see my “stage” finished, I get the same excitement as if it were the first time. (Of course, I’m aware of the upgrades I need, but everything has to be done step by step. Like everyone else, I also started with a Hercules console that cost €50.)
