I made a review thread because I believe there are some things that DJs should be aware of should they decide to play there in the future.

First, I'd like to thank the 1 or 2 people that showed up. The setup is real cool as well as the sound system. I think I can sum everything up in case certain people who were thinking about going to this place but had no idea what to expect:

The only time to play a Progressive/House/Trance style is only on Mondays. All the other open nights are for Hip-hop and whatever else is described on the site. So unless you can get people to come out on a Monday, you'll be playing for no one but the music director Mondays, there is a DJ named L.A. Thomas who plays Soulful House with a Jazzy Tropical twist to it. The crowd there were people who were into that vibe. Not a whole lot of people, but it was a decent looking night. The music director wanted me to keep the same vibe or something relative to it.

Of course, I don't play the style as I mentioned above. So I just played Progressive and some House. I only played for an hour because no one was really there except for Dan (partyhopper) and I didn't believe it was fair for me to keep the director and his other employee there for nothing.

In conclusion, the director told me he is not booking anyone at the moment. If he was to, you'd better hope its on a Friday/Saturday or heck, even a Sunday night. Every other night is a worknight for most people. So you won't have a crowd unless you bring people yourself.

As far as the system/setup is, its real nice. Need to get used to that Xone 92 Mixer a bit more. From what I saw, you cant use two cue buttons at once. At least I had no trainwrecks

you can cue multiple channels on the Xone 92 two ways...you can have one track cued and then add the master sound in with the cue/mix knob. And you can actually use multiple cue buttons at the same time, but you have to push them simultaneously, not just one at a time.

Yea, I was wondering what he was talking about. I have a Xone:62, and you can cue 2 tracks in the headphones. On the 92 there are 4 cue buttons, just press which ones you need to cue and you will hear both tracks in the headphones.

it works different than the 62. Its weird and kind of annoying, but if you want to cue two tracks you have to push the two buttons down at the exact same time. If you hit one down first, and then the other one down, it just switches the cued channel.

Ahh I see. Hmm, didnt know that. Im more than happy with my 62, I just wish it came in a rotary version.

haha. Ok, you need to make sure that both cue buttons are not selected for cue before you push them down. (the red lights have to be off around those channels). Then you push them down simultaneously. I know, it sounds retarded, but thats how it works. It took me about a week to figure it out.
