price for that as i do for my roland dj-2000, which sounds and works pretty
similar to the pioneer, frankly its a pain in the ass for me to take the
rane out of my coffin and most promoters dont want me to anyway, some djs on
the other hand do prefer not to use rotary.. i can understand this but
personally i prefer the rane, like butta baby.. very good control of your
sound.. and WAY CLEARER than the pioneer, when i run all analog high quality
signal processing it seems like a waste to use things like digital effects
and low signal to noise ratio mixers.. but man if i go to a club and they
have a behringer or a gemini i'll still do my damndest to rock the house and
keep my comments to myself!

ps did anyone feel that earthquake just now?

Frankie bones was the first to speak out against the DJM 500
he hates and denounced it numerous magazines..
I don't know how long that guy has been spinning but I think it's about 20
years....

I haven't had any Dj's complain about the pioneer

they say it's the industry standard now a days.

if you don't at least one djm 500 get out of the sound business.....

when I get a request for a rane rotarty it's just more work for me be cause
the thing is so damn expensive I have to charge 75 bucks more to rent it...
