preciso de escolher entre sistema de colunas Ld maui 28 g3 ou rcf evox j8 para utilizar nos meus gigs! Qual o melhor? Opinioes por favor

Loops seem marketing hyped but I want to hear opinions from DJs. Preferably something I can dance in easily.

I have a mpc live 2 and I've created a bunch of songs on the device. I've a lot of experience using the device for writing, but I've never done a full set with it where the songs flowed continuously.
Does anyone have experience running an mpc with a dj deck?
I'd like to keep the mpc as part of the workflow because I have a midi glove which works great for controlling effects (like lowpass filter), or muting tracks or pads (like muting the bass or the kick).
Is there a dj deck that could take midi messages so that I could route a midi controller to control effects and things like that?

Also, is there a deck that could work with audio coming in from an instrument, in this case the mpc, instead of from a usb or streaming service?

Hi guys

So basically I own XDJ-1000 MK2 and it's beatjump feature are either : 1,2 or 4 beatjumps and i would like it to be 16, 32 and 64 beatjumps.

Now i know it isn't a feature available officially for the XDJ 1000 MK2.

So here's my question : Now with all the buzz around AI reprogramming softwares like all the buzz around the craft series, would i be able to have AI modify my XDJ 1000 MK2's software, kind of like a hack, that only changes the number of the beatjumps ?

Also, if something like that already exist, i'm eager to have it

Thanks

More and more I’ve noticed open decks pivot from a “first come, first served”/raffle system into something where DJs apply to play beforehand, and the DJ list is fixed. Sometimes even submitting mixes to qualify.

How do we feel about this?

I get that this makes the event run smoothly, but the random chance of playing and meeting other DJs while hanging around and waiting was a big part of open decks for me. Now, people can show up for their “set”, play, and leave.

Also, it feels like a promoter just wanting to book a DJ night but not pay anyone. People feel like they have a gig, and bring people and promote it as such.

(For context, I have been hosting an open deck across the upstate and New York City area for 2+ years that does a combo of FCFS and a raffle)

I do a Halloween gig every year. Usually I just wear a glow in the dark skeleton T-shirt. This year I want to upgrade and join the fun with the clientele and club stagf that dresses up. I am worried about masks that could hinder my vision or makeup that could smear under stage lighting. What are some costume ideas that could be used for a DJ to wear during their set?

Got gifted this concorde and the model doesn’t match the one shown on the box… can’t really find anything online?

What booth monitors do y’all like to use during a gig? I have a Paraflex sound system that I’ve starter deploying for events and want to start providing the DJs monitors so they don’t have to bring anything except their deck.

Wondering what options you use when you are trying to get footage at a gig and the lights are low? I need something to illuminate the performer and the decks when recording with a phone or an Insta360 / DJI action camera so the video doesn't turn out super grainy.
Ideally looking for something low-profile that can sit flat on the booth or mount easily without cluttering the setup. What are you guys using?

I am struggling to get payment from Ticket Fairy for a gig I did over three weeks ago, so way over the 14 working day deadline they set for payments. I have done heaps of events via the same brand that have been paid, no changes have been made to payout details.

Enquiries get a bot reply stating the issue will be sent to the payment team and then no further communication has been received. attempts to escalate via the on-site AI just seem to Crash whenever it comes to raising a ticket.

Anyone got any ideas- I have invoices to pay and am sick of the poor customer service.

which one should i buy? any thoughts before buying one?

Post about your gigs here - success stories? Disasters? Lessons learned?

I’ve been getting request lately to play shows in the US, but I’m located in Canada. What kind of visa would I need to play a single event or is there no such thing?

Is it gonna cost me an arm and a leg to get a lawyer to put the paperwork together? Need to weigh whether it’s worth it or not since this is just a side hustle for me.

Does anyone have experience cleaning very dirty controllers? I brought my AZ out to a desert event this weekend - it is covered in sand, dust, and got rained on a bit but seemingly not damaged.

I’m curious how to best go about the cleaning process. How do I avoid getting sand inside the faders while I clean it? Any other tips for tools and cleaning solutions that work well?

I don’t know why but I’m really stuck on which mixer to buy. I’ve gone back and fourth in my mind over many options, including rotary and boutique mixers, but I think ultimately I want a really good quality, robust analogue four channel fader mixer. There’s one rotary I really like the look of, but since I mix mostly jungle I think I’m actually going to miss having faders to chop up and down. And it’s twice the price of a Xone 92 mk2.

I do fully understand the differences in the specs of the xone and the nuo. I just can’t seem to pick which one is right for me.

I see the return channels on the Xone as an advantage (I like to EQ my FX), but I see the the four band channel EQ’s as an unnecessary faff. And the xone lacks a master insert. I like the way xone mixers sound but I dislike much else about them. They’re ugly and cramped.

I like the spacious layout of the Nuo, the big EQ knobs are great, the sound quality is great, and I already own an Ecler Eternal x-fader that I could use with it. But the wobbly pots genuinely are annoying as are the flimsy pfl buttons, and since I’ve owned a Nuo mixer before, there’s no huge novelty or excitement to buying it.

I’ve considered a UA Elara 4 mk2, but having used one in the shop I found the layout way too cramped. God knows why they designed it like that. If they made the same mixer spacious I’d buy it tomorrow.

I mix almost exclusively vinyl. Do a little bit of scratching to hip hop, but only rarely these days. I have a single Denon SC6000M (dual layer mode) but might change it for a set of NAP Works standalone DVS units.

What would you do?

I've been organising Industrial/Gothic events in the Netherlands on and off for years, and I'm currently working on a new project for 2027.

One of my goals isn't just attracting younger attendees, but helping them become part of the local scene long-term.

We're building a line-up that ranges from Gen X veterans to newer Gen Z DJs. The event will take place in a non-commercial community venue, which helps keep admission and drinks affordable.

What I'm interested in is community-building rather than marketing.

What have you seen work when it comes to involving younger people in a music scene beyond simply booking them?

Are there things you've done as a promoter, DJ or organiser that helped newcomers feel welcome and become regulars?

I'm especially interested in ways to give younger people ownership, responsibility or a voice in the future of an event, rather than treating them only as an audience or as performers.

As a millennial, I have a pretty good understanding of my own generation and of Gen X, but Gen Z are the generation now coming into the scene. I'd like to make sure they have opportunities to help shape it as well.

I'd love to hear what's worked (or failed) in your local scenes.

Hi everyone, I’ve recently bought a second-hand DJM-750MK2. The master level meter is moving and music plays through my speakers fine, but when I switch my headphones to Mono Split, I get no sound, even when turning the HEADPHONES MIXING knob between CUE and MASTER.

Channel CUE works in my headphones fine and can mash the music together through both ears, but no split

Needing a 4 channel mixer right now is literally the worst.. You have two choices now.. Xone 92/96 or the A9... WTF happened to the 750MK2? Pioneer/AT is just making it have to either go controller or super high end.

Edit... since most people are dense. I mean buying brand new. I dont do used gear. People treat their shit like crap. Or have cats.. kids.. smoke in their house
