Post subject: | New system advice |
Thanks for all that have helped. I am very new to this and all the local Kjs that I have faithfull suported by going to the shows and spend a lot of money at wont help with advice. So Im basicly winging it. I went to the local guitar center and picked up two Mackie sa1521 speakers. By the way I had him demo the srm450 first and they souned great untill he switched over to the 1521 wow what a speaker!!! Other then microphones he had no clue as to what else I needed. I guess I will need a basic mixer to play dj music if the need arise. what's good? I have pretty much decided to go with a computer shuttle . Still researching what's best. any advice? After reading cavs form and all the problems listed there I don't think I will consider cavs. I also want to get a cdg unit as a back up what's the best 3 tray? What else do I need? Please help I am a green pea at this |

JVC 3-tray is probably the industry standard. I use both the 3-tray and the single and have never had a problem with either! You will definitely need a mixer because it's not a good idea to put microphones through the computer. After that, you're on your own because (each to their own) I much prefer to use discs rather than a computer, even if the computer has all the back-up known to man. You will, however, get a lot of people disagreeing with me, which is what this forum is all about! Good luck with your new venture and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have for many years! |

I agree with the JVC 3-drawer. Visit some of the manufacturers web sites for mixer etc. There's a lot of em out there. Problem is everyone you ask has their own favorite, but mackie and yamaha both make some good ones. There's also a lot of others. |

No arguements on the JVC or RSQ 3 drawer... same product, different brand names.. no real difference in bells & whistles.. Word on the Grapevine is...RSQ now has a 3 drawer that does DVD, CGG, VCD, & MP3 just like the original... I hear it's quite a unit.. Good Luck! |

The RSQ is "slightly" inferior to the JVC only in parts. The laser eye is a plastic base over the JVC glass base. Otherwise they are the same unit. |

RedneckRomeo, I located a new JVC 3 drawer player on sale. The site I found it on usually sells it for $299 (about normal for most places), but has it on sale at $229. They also have it, along with a starter pack cd+g set for something like $289 (didn't check out the mfg of the cd+g's). If you're interested in it e-mail me and I'll direct you to the site. I've dealt with them before and they're reliable. |

karaoke.com... and the starter pack is a Priddis 180 song pack that's just fine for nearly everything. I PERSONALLY don't like the Priddis, but many people have liked them immensely! Matt |

There's nothing wrong with a Priddis Track, I Legally used one to record a demo for an industry audition once.. amazingly i got replies.. and not even 2 months later I signed a recording contract in Nashville.. Amazing things ya can do with a well produced karaoke track.. but remember this.. HONESTLY, I did NOT use the video screen when recording it.. I had the real set of lyrics. even though Priddis had them correct. |

The mackie powered pa speaker it actually doubles as a floor monitor... with a either a single 31 band eq or a alesis 5 band mono parametric eq.. you'll have it licked from there.. wish ya well, and it sounds great from here! |

The Mackie 1521's wouldn't make a very good floor monitor. The SRM350, SRM450 & C300 are designed for that. It would make a great side fill monitor though. |
