Simply by giving all advertising money to the artists for their missed music profits. Its worth a look. More Free Links to be posted soon so stay Tuned.
that night and started playing. Now, as a DJ and gadget guy, I love Knobs and buttons! But, with 40 knobs, 53 buttons and a Jog Wheel for fast location management, it was a bit overwhelming. But this little Midi has some bite!(Yes, i'm still learning). And the best part, its compact. The down Side, 19 1/2 across, no fader's, and the response time shows some lag. But with this, I'm able to be in the mix 8,10,20 songs into the future allowing me to tweak or interact accordingly. From here, i thought, compact is good, less weight, shorter set-up and break down. So i found this little guy from Acer
. Now while Linux is available, I went with Windows, 1GB ram, 120 internal hard drive, and the 6 cell battery (6.5 hours battery life). This little guy (about $400) has 3 USB slots, which is not enough for me to run 2 hard drives, a computer fan, the Mixmeister controller, and the second sound card needed to mix. A simple multi USB jack fixed all that. I was also concerned about the size of the keyboard, not because its smaller, but if i needed to find something quick i may be prone to mistype. So i bought a regular size roll-up keyboard($15), problem solved! Now to make my speakers light, and on Black Friday I solved that problem while strolling through Guitar Center. For $175 a piece, i grabbed a pair of these powered speakers. I will be the first to admit, the s
pecs did scare me a little, but my first time on the road and all that went out the window. With a 5 band EQ, Mic inputs, and 2 balanced XLR and 2 unbalanced 1/4" inputs, these fit the bill. No distortion, hums, clips, and always clean sound, im very happy. At about 60lbs a piece, they don't hurt my back or wallet. I paired all this to a Behringer XENYX 802($30), and I'm on the road for under $1000, and well under 200lbs. Now, for those of you lighting people out there, don't think i didn't upgrade my lighting too, but we will wait until next time. Along with lights, I'll also share some of the things I have on my, extensive, wish list.... Until Next time, PLUR!!

portable - carried or moved with ease
app - a computer program like a web browser or word processor
A portable app is a computer program that you can carry around with you on a portable device and use on any Windows computer. When your USB flash drive, portable hard drive, iPod or other portable device is plugged in, you have access to your software and personal data just as you would on your own PC. And when you unplug the device, none of your personal data is left behind.
No Special Hardware - Use any USB flash drive, portable hard drive, iPod/MP3 player, etc
No Additional Software - Just download, run the portable installer and go
No Kidding - It's that easy
By law, full-power television stations nationwide must begin broadcasting exclusively in a digital format by June 12, 2009. The U.S. Congress approved an extension of the deadline, which was originally set for February 17. The extension was vetoed in the 1st session but was later passed in the Full session.
So on June 12, 2009 all full power analog TV transmission is scheduled to cease. Digital TV broadcasts will be consolidated below channels 52. Channels 52-69 (698 - 806 MHz), generically called the 700MHz band, will be reallocated to public emergency broadcast and telecom companies. The FCC will prohibit the use of wireless microphones in this range in the near future, perhaps as early as February 17th.
This means we all have some time to exchange those DJ mics and Lavileer mics in the 698 to 806 MHZ range
Irionically The Audio technica Pro series and ATW series mics are ALL SAFE they operate in the 100 to 500 mhz range
BUT The Samson Mics we have are in DANGER so check your model number and make sure the frequency does not fall between 698 and 806 mhz.
Here is how to do:

These tales of topics from the ocean of experiences from which I've sailed for over fourteen years now, will hopefully guide you all to a more fulfilling and fun way to sail though your adventures in mobile disc jocking. Keep in mind as you travel with me across many a journey, that these tales might not be for you. The one thing I learned as a matey, before becoming the captain of my spaceship was “ steal what you can from others, but it all might not be something your can sail yourself “. We all have our own direction or capabilities, personalities and likenesses, musical tastes and forthrightness ( is that a word ?) whatever. I hope you understand.
I am a bit out there in my way of describing things or my brand of humor so, bare with me and email me if you don't get something. I'll send you the video so you can keep up. ( It's only $19.95 plus S/H ) whenever I get around to filming it ! So batten down the hatches and enjoy the journeys. I'm coming to your computer !!!!
