there will be no room in my dorm for decks come the fall, but i still want to be able to mix, or something close to it.
i've heard of final scratch, are there any other computer programs out there? |

| FS requires turntables to work. It basically just hooks your turntables into software, then plays special records so that your touches/pitch changes on the vinyl are replicated digitally on the track, playing off a HD. |

i brought my tables to my dorm
i had a small room and they fit in there jsut fine
you just gotta be a little smart with your setup
it was fun to have mix sessions blaring down the hall
just make sure your roomate is cool and keep the door locked |

dude, put your decks on your bed to mix, for sleeping, keep them under it, but you must keep mixing! i don't have a setup atm, and a friend lent me his for a week once, i crammed it onto a small ass space, was even mixing battle style, but at least i could go at it. |

i certainly won't bring them down on move-in day, but maybe after the first break i will.
thanks for the help. |

dude, bring them in moving day anyways. That way you have to fit them in somewhere.
I woudl suggest building a loft for your dorm, that way you free up a ton o room belwo your beds.
we placed our loft on top of the two dressers, so it freed up the room of the two dressers, and gave us space for a couch below it. You should look into it. |

Even better is this setup I saw - the guy took the matress off his bed and put it underneath (beds were a few feet off the ground) which left a flat surface on the top of the bed. He put his tables and mixer there, and just slept underneath. |

| Yeah, you just have to get creative, if it means playing carpenter for a day and building some nifty desk/table, then so be it. One thing's for sure, there's no way I would go off to college without my tables. :D |
