Wow, I had the 1/8" to RCA guy problem 2 weeks ago. I came in about and hour 1/2 before I went on just to notice how horrible the sound was. I asked the owner, "What the fuck is going on, did the speakers blow?". She, not knowing anything about sound, and her sound guy being out that night, shrugged. Then followed that with it's been like this for 30-40 minutes.
So I run up to the booth and ask WTF?, he is confused and says it doesn't sound that bad. I look on the back of the mixer and *Dun Dun Duuunnn* he has his internal sound card ran through a 1/8 to RCA to phono. Phono NO NO! He said it wasn't loud enough in aux. And I told him "Because your sound card sucks" (Smiling as always).
Needless to say, he didn't come back. I think he had a premade list on his PC that his simply press... play. Not to mention I had to tell him to get a drink and leave me alone for a while because all he wanted to do is talk while I was DJing after him. I guess that was what he was used to, seeing how he didn't mix.
I understand the noob syndrome, we've all been there. But come prepared. My sound card fuck up on me 4 times in one night. You better believe I was on the CDJ with in a second to make the music come back. Not fun, but prepared yes.
