Hey #DJ's! Where do you get music from? Do you just buy singles or go for the full album?

What hardware do you use?

I plan on going full out with an older #rackmount compressor and EQ. Totally overboard with a moderately expensive broadcast mic. The other usecase is livestreaming the events, plus broadcasting #InternetRadio. Ideally with a XMPP chatroom and DJs beside myself talking between songs like on good FM.

I need to build up a solid offline collection so I can start spinning in #GothClubs.

Ich brauche mal euer geballtes Know How.
Habt ihr Empfehlungen für einen Rechner im 19 Zoll Gehäuse mit einer CPU in ARM Architektur? Muss nicht die Mega high power Kiste sein. Und sollte bezahlbar bleiben. Linux muss drauf laufen.
Idealerweise nur 1HE. Ich halte das für besser, als mir eine 19 Zoll Frontblende zu kaufen, in die ich 5 Raspberry Pi einbauen kann.

Rack Cage Generator Gets Your Gear Mounted

I saw some #rackmount 31 band EQs that have #MIDI that were made in the 80's and 90's. The ones currently in production do not. It feels like we've taken a step back. 🤨

Granted, there are two fantastic digital #effectsPedals that do and have more features than anything else. (Aside from the #Cranborne Carnaby he2 that has USB for #DAW control and saturates boosted frequency bands.)

*shrug*

On one… foot, I like the idea of *utilities* being in a rack. My other foot doesn't care and just wants to easily swap between presets.

One side of an SKB type 6U case. Still have to cram 2 midi delays, a midi matrix and maybe a midi display. It is a super tight fit because on the other side of the case I have 5 1U synths:
A Casio VZ8m, a Roland D110, a Roland MKS50, an Ensoniq SQR plus 32 and an Alesis QSR. Good for 142 notes polyphony if I can pull this off. Been rewiring trying to fit all of this for over an hour now

I've been looking through my Docs folder at the PDF for so long I totally forgot which I was originally trying to find. 😵‍💫

Oh. I needed a reminder about what that #Behringer Ultramizer Pro rack unit does. It seems like a digital all utility piece.

I'm not sure why there aren't more of these because exactly what I want is one robust rack unit that handles gating, limiting, compression, equalizing, stereo widening, and tuning because why not. lol. With #MIDI. The point of #rackmount gear is that it is more powerful than pedals.

EDIT: It has been spoken for!

Free to a good home: A Mac G4 in a Marathon rackmount case. It has a serial port, Zip drive, SCSI card, and two DIMMs of RAM. We forgot to take the PRAM battery out, but fortunately it didn't leak. 😅
It's up for grabs to anyone who wants to pay the shipping. 📦
