How many of you use Freefloats?

I've seen many different setups for a club or home DJ studio but was interested to see what TA's thought of Freefloats. I've just picked myself up a set and they work great so far (the big test will be tonight at the club).

How many of you use Freefloats or something like it? At the Government in Toronto I noticed that the decks are suspended on elastic bands so they sort of hovered and moved around. I know bunjee cords are often used as well...but what about you guys?

Used them once, hated them. The decks wobbled about all over the place! Give me a concrete slab on tennis balls any day!!!

TBH, they made me feel sea sick

worthless from what i heard. buy them, put em in a closet, maybe you will get some use out of them if you come down with a case of hemorrhoids.

I've heard many bad things, you would be much better off using tennis balls or blocks of foam.

Oh yea, your sig is too big, just thought I'd give you the heads up before a mod see's it.

Go get proper sound-dampening footing material. IMO Auralex makes the best.

Way overpriced that everyone else said before. Dynamat works well from a car stereo type system.

tennis balls are the way i have seen most go. cheap easy, walk by a tennis court and you should find some on the ground outside the fences. a.k.a. free!

Or go to a dog park. Dogs love em' but stupid dogs like my lab will hide the balls so i need to buy more for him. If you can find where he hides them, than there will be enough balls for everybody!

Me too- i fequent it from time to time, best car ive ever owned.

Back on topic:
Used freefloats once---> baggage (thats crap in english). Like trying to mix with a bouncy castle.
Used turntables suspended on a stand hanging from the ceiling--> baggage. Fartoo much movement, and poles in the way
Tennis balls--> ok as a quick fix, but start scratching and it gets annoying.
Far too wobbly.
To be honest there are a variety of thin materials you could use. just find out what works for you and what doesnt.

Ideally you need some bricks or concrete posts. A lot of the clubs i work in have concrete pillars built into the console for the turntables.
A good solution is to get a plate of glass long enough to fit under your turntables and mixer or whatever, and then isolate the glass from the table top with some very thin rubber pads maybe an inch or so wide (literally need to be a couple of mm wide). a plain sheet of glass cut to size isnt that expensive.
No skippage then.
