Another reason to be wary of using computers live!

Any piece of electronic is prone to failure... this goes for Pioneer CDJ's and any mixer used in clubs. ALWAYS have a backup plan, no matter what you play on.

I was literally 2 minutes away from putting on the most complicated set I've ever done and I open my computer to this....
Thank god I was only setting up and the DJ next to me was still spinning.
I am now looking for a controller with a standalone mixer.

Of course you should always have a back up plan but since i moved from windows to mac, all problems i had were unnoticed by the crowd. so i'm happy with that.

Come on now! I'm only now turning 17 and I have to buy all my equipment on my own dude. I would kill for a mac, but it's just not going to happen right now!

Are you implying that if you have a mac, you might not need to have a fully standalone backup source? What is your point with this post?

heheh sorry, was just making a joke about the mac. You still want a backup if you can. I don't have a computer backup to be honest but I always bring records. And I could bring CDs if I had to though it would not be my preference. But honestly you can't be prepared for everything. What if your back up is CDs and the laser goes out? vinyl and you lose a needle? What if the freakin power goes out; how many of you bring a wind-up phonograph and a stack of 78s to a gig?

If I owned a Phonograph I definitely would.
