just get one of their usb units. You don't need the full blown firewire 410 in most cases of laptop DJing...
for starters the 2 audio output card works perfect with almost no latency at all...
anyways but this is not what the thread is about.
peace |
URL!?!? :p |

See M-Audio has two USB units...both $250. I don't have $250.
Like I said, I think I'm the poorest person on these boards, lol. |

dude try to find the M-Audio USB Quattro used.
on ebay or whatever... i'vebeen using that model for about 3 years and they don't make it anymore since they moved more towards firewire...
but see if you can find that model used maybe if someone else is upgrading to firewire.
m-audio quattro.
its got 4 channels in and 4 channels out and it can be reconfigured to 2 in and 4 out or 4 in and 2 out.... you get the picture...
maybe message me so we don't spam up the thread but what software were you thinking of using?
YO Taj where are you gonna be this weekend on saturday? |

Ohhh, yeah that's pretty cheap...like $100. A few auctions that are at like $25, but reservers aren't yet met.
But it doesn't matter. I might as well be on wellfare, lol.
Maybe some day. But firewire has less latency and is much easier on the system overall as USB uses CPU cycles. I mean, there's a bigger chance of a system hiccup when using USB.
But then again, Firewire ports go bad a lot easier.
Anyhow once I get something (which will probably be never at this rate!), I can work on getting a mixer. :p
I don't get how people around here are able to afford so much . Like I think I have a good job and everything and I still can't afford any DJ crap! Hell, the laptop I have (1.8ghz Centrino Duo w/ 1gb of RAM, 100GB HD), which I love, is provided by my work. My home desktop died like a month ago! lol This laptop runs Ableton 6 beautifully, though. Only reason I have Ableton is because our sound engineer at work gets it through the sound studio he also works with and handed it off to me since he doesn't even care to touch it. :)
Moving and having a baby around the same time = nightmare on the funds. If there's something worse than a nightmare, that's what it is!!! But I wouldn't change a thing.
Other than maybe having more money!
I need to move from working 100% within the software for my mixing. Think I have that part down pretty good now, lol. Few doubts that I can get a gid here or there. Am asked from time to time....and sure that once I got more real experience, I could get them on a somewhat regular basis. Just need the equipment.
Guess if I can get this Quattro, can alway be cheapo in the practing and use an old Mackie sound board from work, lol.
Anyhow, now I need to stop whining. lol. |

lol @ this thread :wtf:
i just put in my votes... sf really does have an uncanny concentration of local dj talent though, way too many to reduce down to just five so i just picked the ones whose music i was most familiar with: alain octavo, ismael rodriguez, scott carrelli, syd gris and taj. a special quality i think is somewhat unique to sf djs is how dynamic their styles are. there's a few out there who can throw a killer trance/techno/house/breaks/electro/prog party depending on what's on the menu for the night. taj is one of the ones that comes to mind, from weekend to weekend you can always expect fresh beats out of him. no rehashing of 'easy' crowd-pleasers, just bangin IDs and ch00ns :D a taj vs svd set would be a total mind between those two record boxes haha :crazy: |
