soz soundwaves but thats a bit out my budget - looking at about 500 quid secondhand if need be. Im def goin pc/behringer usb controller route and will stick with the souncard thats proviied with the behringer. Cant remeber if the numark cdmix2 has xlr outputs - i very much doubt it.

After doin discos for over 5 years ive now started selling all my old equipment and im now going into buisness with a partner.Because of this,we are updating all our equipment and basically starting from scratch. I have a rough idea of what i want but i want to ask on here for makes etc before making any mistakes. The equipment i used to use did me fine for over 5 years (I will list them below) but i found that it just wasnt loud enough so my main priority is the sound system. This is what i used before: 2x Skytec 300w 15" Speakers (At 8 Ohms I Believe) 1x Soundlab 500W Amp (At 4

yeah i was using built in soundcard just for background music but found since using the pci soundblaster 5.1 card that it is alot better.Just wondered is it worth investing in a usb card or is my 5.1 card ok to use for mobile use permanently?

was gonna ask about this? Im currently using a soundblaster live 5.1 pci soundcard in a 2Ghz PC. i have the channels split using different drivers and using virtual dj. Been ok the last couple of times ive used it with decent enuf sound but could i get better quality going for something like a gigaport or another usb sound device?

For an example, i did a pub gig, about 80 people in there and a very small area and yet they struggled and was distorted.I turned them down and they sounded better. The way they are running i havent got a chance playing any medium sized gigs!! I think the prob is that ive run them in the past at near full and its buggered them up! I am going to concentrate 1st on the sound system as to me that is the most important. I have some cheap lights to play with for the time being (2x vastos,1xtango,1 acme moonflower that i rarely use).

Good point. Was thinking of going down that avenue.

The speakers are starting to show signs of wear etc, one of the piezos dont work now (blown) and the grills are dented etc so thought it look more impressive by getting some. Equipment wise we are not really gonna be using much of the equipment apart from by cdmixii numark decks as these were only serviced a year ago,and pc. As he wants to put money into it too we were looking at the follwing: New stand new sound system (speakers and amp) Couple of good sync`d lights (Im currently using 2x vastos,1xtango,1 acme moonflower thing.I believe these look a bit dated now). USB Controlle

cant pm as new and havent got 15 posts yet! Also im looking into what sort of contract/agreement to make for us both, ie, how do i word it etc.

yeah a plan will be in place if one of us drops out. However i may not have explained myself properly. I have done quite a few gigs now over the years so know how i want to look etc. My speakers sound awful (300w Skytec 15`s) but as i was uprating them thought id get a bigger amp (current one is soundlab sf500 250w into 4ohms and speakers 300w into 8ohm). I cant have the amp any louder than about half before the speakers distort. I definitely want new speakers but amp is like new - just thought id get a new one to power the newer louder speakers. As the ohms are differnt is that why

Hi I have been on this forum before but it was years ago so thought id resign up as couldnt remember any details. Also things are changing..... Ive ran my own part time mobile disco for about 5 years by myself. Ive never really advertised and just done the odd one or two gigs per year for family,friends,friends of friends etc.Ive probably earned up to pay off my original equipment which i am now in the process of updating. The other week i done a disco for a inlaw of an inlaw if that makes sense. It went really well and eneded up playing for over 2 hours more.i really enjoyed it an
