**Cutting Down on Cords**

Okay, so recently, when I set up, I’m realizing how many cords I actually have and how they’re all over the place. What would you guys suggest on do in terms of compacting all of the different cords and wires in a set up?

Twist em all through eachother. The DJ cuthulu is a major player in becoming famous. Then, you can take all the chords away, because when you are famous, you don’t need to power your gear.

Collect together chords that go to the same areas, and use electrical tape to tape them all together. Or those velcro strips.

I know it sounds crazy, but this problem is what finally sent me over the edge to design my own custom system with only ONE cable going to my system. Everything is handled in one cable. I/O, power and even some data. Grounds lifted to remove 60hz buzz. ONE GLORIOUS CABLE😃 You are probably looking for a quick easy solution and I really wish there was, cause mine took four months straight to finish.
