What would be better in terms of adding some more sound to a setup? i currently have a basic home shelf stereo system. it gets the job done fine, and i really like them, but a lack of bass response is a tad bit on the dull side of the sound spectrum.
a subwoofer for the obvious reason...wouldnt mind some more "umph" luckily my mixer has a subwoofer out, so no real issues connecting it to my current gear.
either that or this logitech 5.1 system.  I currently have the 2.1 of that, good amount of bass, just enough for that full sound. only issue i would imagine is that I would need an adapter to be able to throw it into my mixer. Maybe a fellow TA could tell me whether or not the adaptor would cause sound quality issues or what not.

| Not really sure what your asking... but 2.1 quality over 5.1 easily. |

I would say just get the subwoofer.
no need for the other speakers. |

| why not save and get a pair of monitors? your just cheating yourself in the long run. |

why would you buy a crappy set of logitech computer speakers for djing?
also i see no point at all getting a 5.1 system for djing as the sound is going to be stereo anyway, so you'd have 3 speakers that have no function (altho i'm sure you could play the stereo sound thru them, but what's the point in that?)
just get a decent pair of stereo speakers and if you really must, then get a sub as well. |

| Subwoofer, hands down. (Unless you're an uber bad ass and can mix in 5.1 on the fly.) |

that isnt half as bad as it would seem...
you just setup three tracks for each channel (deck)
in ableton
You'd do that so that you would setup a track for each of the "decks" you want to play with (2...3---how many you desire)...
then you would duplicate each one so you have it three times...and assign external outs accordingly...(assuming you have a 5.1 setup of speakers and soundcard indeed)...then its not a problem to mix in a 5.1 I bet! |
