My buddies at UCSB run a popular clothing line, and in celebration of their new winter line, threw a massive party last weekend in Isla Vista, California.
I bring down my Macbook, VCI-100SE, and two Mackie PAs from San Francisco. They provide insane lights, 3 more Mackies, a Sonic Maximizer and a gigantic 18" self-powered JBL subwoofer.
The result is this: http://vimeo.com/2836240
We split set-times evenly between 4 DJs throughout the night. The first 3 (including myself) used my VCI and Traktor Pro. The closer, DJ Mackle, runs Serato Scratch with vinyl pads.
The cool thing we're able to do is run a MIDI clock out of Traktor via my Firebox soundcard, into Serato Scratch (using a MIDI > USB cable). That way the music never needs to stop or be out of sync when switching between hardware and DJs.
