its funny, the only people that care about sync are other djs.

im old skool:) since 87′ been at this, still have my 1200’s in the basement. with tons of wax collecting dust.

long gone are the days of carrying all that heavy gear! i can beatmatch, scracth,etc…. but guess what i use the sync button all the time i dont feel the need to impress anyone (not anymore) i used to beatmatch by speeding or slowing down the record from the center. no pitchsliding! cant even tell you how many records i counted the bpm on!

.

my nephew coming from old school tech had no idea about cdj, pc’s etc..

i was in a nutshell the light and sound tech/DJ. so we would take turns on the wheels cause we have different styles but more than once he would eject the wrong cd or fade back to no music.

BUT the worse was one time we were running late so i told him where to plug the lights but he wasnt listening too well cause unknown to me he plugged them all to the furman power conditioner we were using.

so the party really gets pumping and then pop! all lights and sound go out!

needless to say the furman popped its fuse and i couldnt figure out why for a good 10 min (felt like an hour)

i was reseting the wrong fuses, normally i plug the lights and sound to seperate circuits so im troubleshooting and sweating bullets cause i cant get it to turn on when he tells me what he did. i wanted to choke him but i should have known not to entrust him with that. i got the sound back on and ran a wire for the lights to a seperate circuit.

i have the denon mc3000, awesome controller. wish it was a little bigger and had bigger jog wheels but thats only a small complaint.

When looking at power ratings of amplifiers, they are giving maximum power with particular levels of distortion (as the power goes up beyond the maximum RMS ratings, distortion levels tend to rise rapidly). The amplifier is NOT putting out that power always whenever you turn it on; the amount of power it is putting out at any moment is dependent on the input level (which, being music, is somewhat variable) and the position of the volume control. So an amplifier rated for 1000 watts may be putting out less than 1 watt, depending on the input level and the volume control setting. So you can use a powerful amplifier with speakers that cannot handle the total power that the amplifier is capable of putting out.

Basically, whenever the sound starts to become audibly distorted, you should turn down the sound. That, however, will not tell you whether the distortion is due to the amplifier reaching its limits, or the speaker reaching its limits, or both.
