DIY - DJ mixing board CD player case

[Bruce Weldy]

Dave must be old skool like I was. I resisted getting a digital console for years but my advancing years and my very bad back finally convinced me that dealing with a 300+ lbs mixer and road case plus 2 efx racks at FOH position it was time to rethink some things, either I had to ditch some of the weight and equipment or I had to stop mixing. I bought 4 years ago a Yamaha LS9-32 digital mixer. I did not buy the digital snake because it was too much money but anyway, with the LS9, I have 4 on board efx units plus the ability to assign EQs, gates, comp/limiters to any channel or out put. I do still sometimes carry a small rack for FOH with a single graphic EQ and a CD/Cassette player. The added plus of the digital mixer is I no longer have to spend 20 minutes plugging in and patching all the rack gear to the mixer. Going with a digital mixer is one of the best choices I have ever made, totally no regrets.

Still tryin' to put the f-u-n-d-s in my future.....

Feelin for ya Dave. Always a challenge.

Let's start a 'Get Dave Digital' fund. I can find $20 for that. LOL

I dunno, man....

If I had the cash for a digital board right now, I'd be tempted to start on a fleet of dual T48s and a bigger trailer.....

Depends on what you want. Something like the rm32ai for $1600 or so isn't a bad deal if you already have an ipad. No snake required with those. No control surface but that can be added.
