It’s still in construction and won’t be done till February
Yes… It was a church =/
It’s gonna be a mix of a bar, club and lounge for the military students (and invited) on the campus base. Being voted in as the new manager, I have an unlimited budget for the DJ booth, sound system and anything else that needs purchasing to make it a very popular venue on the weekends. Its HUGE inside, with separate rooms for bar, lounge and the dance floor. DJ booth is gonna be set up in the balcony that usually holds the organ lol!
Nice man ! at the moment it looks like something out of Amityville BUT its got scope Lucky you ! Unlimited Budget what kit you thinking of putting in ?
Haha, yea it is kinda creepy right now, but that only because its in full construction. Problem now is that it just started snowing, so I’m praying that the construction company managed to finish the insulation so that they can be started on the inside while its winter.
For set up, I’m thinking a Rane mixer, 2 Technics 1200’s and 2 CDJ-1000’s. Not sure what else to put in there. Light wise, we are going with both lights and lasers, maybe a couple fog machines, not too sure. I’m getting a custom made sound system made for it. Haven’t really sat down and done my research on what to put into it yet.
This place is 30 mins south of Montreal in Canada. Its like 45 mins north of the border with New York I think.
WOW Tekki, you are awesome for showing me this. I donno if my superiors will accept something like this, but for sure I will be putting forward some of the idea’s from that site.
R2D2, that booth is OFF THE HOOK! I want I want I want. I think 8 TT’s are a bit much, but I want to make sure that any DJ that spins at the club will have good equipment to use, but nothing too overboard. The military follows the KISS doctrine very closely.
The building unfortunately will be used for more then just parties and drinking, it has to be able to have formal dinners and such, so I have to be able to juggle between a night club / bar setting and a more “club room” setting (that can be booked for events and such. I know a lot of smaller clubs run like this too, but its still too early to think this far ahead.
If anybody wants to pitch in on what they like to see when they go to spin at a club, I’m all ears.
4x Easy sound channel connectors
Use the remaining 4 channels of the Korg Zero8 for Digital DJ connections. Make 8 connections, 2 per channel, as that a digital DJ can easily hook up his laptop and MIDI controllers and not bother the DJ in front of him.
Enough wall outlets
A Digital DJ needs his power for his setup.
Internet Connection
Some DJs can find the time to download the latest tracks from beatport and such, just for that killertrack they gonna be needing later on in there set.
(Wifi or cable)
Oh, if you book a digital DJ, have him or her come by before the set, as that you can make sure all is in place.
Ya, would be going with a cable anyway, keeps people from hopping onto the connection and slowing things down.
Thanks for the list Tekki, for sure getting the Technics and CDJ-1000’s. Gonna shop around for mixers for the next few weeks. I had already inquired about an A&H Xone:464, but wait time is around 6 months, which is to long for my tastes.
Ack, for the lighting system that Tekki shows, it would cost over 20K$ for the length of what is going to be the dance area. Thats quite a large sum of money and I don’t know if my boss will like it to be so much =/
For the sound system, I’m working right now with two former audio tech’s and they are going to build one for me. I’m thinking having ultra low frequency subs built under the floor, you won’t be able to hear them, but you can feel the bass.
hope it all works out well !
