    kinda goes with another post, I ALWAYS BRING MY EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE FILLED WITH THE “JUST IN CASE HOLY SHIT I DIDNT BRING IT” music. Trust me what does not kill you makes you stronger. Its up to you bro to get up and keep at it. Nightmares come true to even the millionaire Djs.

    I bought it. It was pretty basic and even asked Phil for a more in-dept course covering scratching, beat girding/ shuffling etc. but i didnt ask for a refund because it was helpful as a refresher.

I have no feeling for it whatsoever, but I was never educated enough to say WHY I thought was god awful. I just knew it was. I understand it will make a section of my crowd happy, so on principle to loving what I do sure, I’ll throw a few in.

    Now when I hear tracks like “I got 5 on it” (first I even heard that was the Aphrodite remix) and Eric B/Rakim “Let The Rhyme Hit ’em”, THAT I can feel. So yah, definitely interested in the real stuff.

    man remixes really are a good intro for the mainstream heads. they get the song that they know, but hear a different version. i use remixes like a fish needs water.

    big diff between 500w rms vs 1000w rms. allot of companies advertise the peak power instead of true power.

    Dude look at my profile pic. I will stand by there eurolive products for ever. The name use to be of poor quality for many of years but the revamp the product line and I swear by these speakers. The b215d is the best bang for your buck and Ive had them for over a year with 0 problems and sound as good as any 600-700 speaker. Dude I use one I repeat one of these 215 and the 1800prod sub and it bangs out enough sound to shake the small bar I play at weekly 150/200 capacity. Dont just take my word. go to guitarcenter.com and you will find 42 out of 43 reviews of 5 stars.

    not going to far in this over posted Mac vs PC thing. I went from PC to Mac and I AM NEVER AGAIN TO GO BACK TO A PC. Just my opinion. As far as MBA to MBP, Go with the pro because its got a bigger screen.

    Had to learn to mix in the headphones because my roommate and I had different hours. Takes some time to get used to but I think its a skill every Dj should at least try to do. Murphy’s Law, monitors may go out or something. A good Dj should be able to adapt and overcome.

    I transfered from my hp9000 to macbook pro 15″ late 2012 using a external drive and I too had a mk2 with itch. Coming out of the PC took forever, I left it over night but into my mac was a breeze because the external was thunderbolt.
