    Default First Gig this Week: What do I Need for Load In/Soundcheck?

    Hi DJTT Forum,

    I have my first gig this week, and the event organizer has just asked me what I need from the venue in terms of load in and sound check. I have no clue what I need. Could anyone help me out? I use a MacBook Pro with Traktor Pro 2, a Traktor Kontrol S4 and F1, and a Novation Launchpad. I would also like the ability to plug my iPhone into the venue's mixer in case of an equipment failure. I have a simple 3.5mm to RCA cable that would probably do the trick for that.

    Any advice/help is much appreciated. Thanks so much!

    you just need an in-house mixer that connects to the amps/booth etc,

    plug your s4 output into the RCA of the mixer, channel fader up and off you go.
