thats great advice, its essentially what we did as well. rented a couple hundred bucks worth of lights and placed a fog machine in front of the booth |

I guess thats all that matters at the end of the day. the speed at which people were ripping through the foam scared me a bit for sure though. i thought they'd be ticked that there wasn't enough foam, i didn't hear any complaints though |

Chyeah, Canadians are politely taking over the community
Getting the money stolen definitely the worst feeling ever but live and learn I suppose |

The 900 was a love/hate thing for me. My s4 broke back in december and i needed an immediate replacement. The second I bought this, I started missing the functionality of the s4. The s4 is just ingeniously laid out in my opinion. I mapped all my vital controller functions to the midifighter, and am slowly getting used to it. That being said,I'm overall a much better DJ now. I've had turntables for a while but I never used them when I had the s4. The move to mixer forced me to start playing with them more and I definitely stepped my game up. I love the 900 but if your in the market for a new mixer, give the z2 a serious look as well! |
