Hello all,

I'm about to take my Dubs out with a band but don't really want to use my 'worked & saved' hard for Macbook out, so wasa thinking whats good and cheap to take out, i'd like 8 outs roughly speaking to put through my desk...i've heard about DATs & Samplers but don't know much about this....i know Mad Professor use DAT...but which one i don't know and how?

So any advice from the Dubwise would be great.

Looking to spend around £250 max

cheers to replies

DATs are stereo only, It would be impractical to take an ADAT on stage.

Just burn a CD, that's what I do.

Yeah, i recently met Dreadzone recently and they do the same, at first i was like...ahem! but then i thought why not, only thing is i'm sure our keys guy will wanna tweak some bits live, but then again he could play them.

I fear a CD jump, what can you recommend on the player front...and do you use high quality CD-R's...any recommendations on that front ? Do you split the stereo for the mix? I ask that as i may want to create a drum click track...maybe....or a seperate tweakable channel?

Is there a way to have sperate output tracks of a CD other than the strereo pair?.....i'm sure that was a stupid question blink.gif

cheers

Get yourself an old Akai MPC, stores thousands of dubs and has 16 pads to trigger them from, best unit in the world for live work, ask DJ Shadow.
