Has anyone else been debating the issue or whether to use a desktop or laptop when mixing in a club??
After years of having drunk dancers come up and rest drinks on the edge of the DJ booth, only for someone else to come and knock it off all over your equipment, I was very reluctant to take a expensive laptop into a club, when one accident would destroy it instantly. That together with the much faster processing power of desktops, the fact that you can get a 10in 10 out soundcard very cheaply, and a nice light flat screen, and it seems a no brainer.
Oh, and it's so much easier to mix on than a small laptop.
When I have used it in clubs though, i do seem to get funny looks as i walk in, even though it's not much different in size to a big bag of vinyl.
I've seen that Sasha uses a desktop, but I've never really seen anyone else.
Am I alone, or are there others out there, who are tempted by the less cool but more practical big black box...?
