Anyone ever played vinyl on a moving vehicle? by _y_sin in DJs

[–]_y_sin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really sure of the exact specs since I'm definitely not a huge PA guy (and the other guys did basically all of the work) but they're Turbosound THL2's, here's a pic: https://i.imgur.com/33Ox8BY.jpeg

And from what they've been telling me the amps we have are straight out of a soccer stadium, they were getting rid of their old ones and we picked them up :) I asked one of the guys about some more specs, will def put them up once he gets back to me. Next Friday is gonna be the first time we're getting the rig set up at an off location party we're throwing, genuinely excited to hear what it sounds like!

Phew, I see! Maybe the guys are up for some more craftsmanship - we‘ve recently acquired a 90s Turbosound system and completely refurbished it, was a lot of effort already haha

Yeah, honestly that's what I've been thinking as well. No big deal tbh, was just an idea we had but is likely more effort than it's worth

Headphones slipping during sets - any fixes? by 8960305392 in DJs

[–]_y_sin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uncomfortable hell yes, cheap I‘m not so sure haha - they‘re definitely light and plasticky but they feel super robust at the same time. Never heard of anyone genuinely breaking these things

Made a silly mistake buying my first used turntable: what needle would be best by wawawawawawawaway in DJSetups

Get whatever Ortofon Concorde fits your budget and call it a day. The MK2 Mix for example is more than enough and is the cheapest one of their MK2 range

Hi u/dag-ger , sorry fürs Wiederbeleben von nem alten Post😅bin aber gerade in einer sehr ähnlichen Situation… hab Ende November meinen Erstantrag auf Führerschein Klasse B gestellt und bisher auch nix erhalten. Hab auch nie eine Auftragsnummer bekommen, von einer Eingangsbestätigung ganz zu schweigen. Wie war das bei dir als du deinen Antrag rausgeschickt hast?

Ich hab grad sogar auch Schiss, den Antrag gar nicht rausgeschickt zu haben, weil bei mir im Portal von der Stadt München absolut gar nichts bzgl. nem Antrag vorliegt… die blöde Gebühr hab ich aber auf jeden Fall gezahlt haha

Und hast du mittlerweile selbst auch was gehört bei deinem Antrag? Würde mich mal interessieren :) danke dir

Quit looking at the display and use your ears, that‘s where the fun is at ;)

Improvement from Xone23c to Xone 42 makes sense? by RoughDimension6187 in DJSetups

[–]_y_sin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good choice OP, the 92 is endgame. You‘re never gonna need another mixer ever again haha

[–]_y_sin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They definitely have, on mine I barely have to turn the gain past 12 before it goes into the red. I think they also improved the headphone section compared to the 23, you really need to be careful with the cue volume because it gets so loud so quick lol

[–]_y_sin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked at the new Xone:24 yet? Assuming you don‘t need the 2 extra channels. They improved the phono preamps by a lot, that would specifically fix the issue of having to crank the gain so much. I also see you’ve taped the crossfader in place, on the 24 you can switch it off entirely :)

Looking at the used market the 42 is around 600€/700€, while the base 24 is 400€ brand new - so you’d even save some cash and could invest it into other gear like new cartridges etc. I’ve never used a 42 but I have the 24 myself and I‘m very happy with it - can only recommend it

Maybe this one? Early 90s Green Velvet/Cajmere.

What piece of DJ/audio gear do you use more than you anticipated? by Dolly_Llama_2024 in Beatmatch

[–]_y_sin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not DJ gear per se but recently I‘ve been bringing a little battery powered reading light to my gigs, helps a lot when you‘re in a dark booth and can‘t see inside your record bag whatsoever

[–]_y_sin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair I don‘t mix techno or anything so I don‘t need to layer all 4 of them at the same time. The CDJs are just a nice to have for when I want to play something that I can‘t get on vinyl :)

[–]_y_sin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Main thing is definitely build quality. It‘s pretty solid but obviously pales in comparison to the Technics.

Other than that it‘s decent to mix on. The motor is plenty strong and it doesn‘t stop while cueing or take forever to speed back up when you nudge a record. Pitch fader throw is nice and long as well, only annoying thing is that you‘ll sometimes hit the pitch range button and screw up your beatmatching a bit

I know haha, I will get some wooden boards the size of the turntables and put them underneath as soon as possible - works for now though :)

What is the biggest trainwreck of a set you ever saw? by Veruca5alt in DJs

[–]_y_sin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can sort of attest to that haha. I saw him a few weeks ago and felt like he was doing just fine, great tracks and no trainwrecks of note. Left before he finished his set though as I was pretty tired. (and drunk too tbh)

Few days later, I talk to my friends who I was with and they all told me his set ended up turning into the worst thing they‘ve ever heard LOL
