   Wow thats some cool looking program, and if it does have of what you
say it must be amazing. I thought I was being cool with a rack
mountable PC with two audio outs fed into a mixer, and controlling it
all from my laptop, but it's not even close 

Awaiting with bated breath the loading of you ravehorn and the release of you program

	Yeah good effort doing it yourself! I use Virtual DJ and that works nice and has slick pitchbending/looping and self mixing(does an amazingly good job too!) but my damn rack case weighs 18kg by itself Why can't audio perfectionists move over here? I'm sick of >60hz Bose and jbl bandpass bins continuously bottoming out

	Theres DBMix for us free software users, but it doesn't look like it's been developed since 2002 I like the idea of having one channel dedicated as cue, and one channel dedicated as main mix, but I trusted myself and a hardware mixer more, so I just use a 'proper' mixer and have a left deck and right deck setup. I don't really need pitch shift, so it works out easier all round. Plus it's a bit more bombproof.

	gonna load the ravehorn with its first speakers tomorrow... nothing special, just 4 200wRMS 12"s to give it a spin on saturday night (give the 1850's a bit of a break from having to huff & puff at 40+hz heres the 15minute cab i built... no compliance (i'm too lazy to actually build a box! when i've played with these i'll decide whether to invest in some decent 12's or more 18's & then build a good box for it...

	The ravehorn sounds well meaty only problem is the speakers sound like a lada doing 100 down the M23 (stamped steel carcass might as well have been tissue paper.) Second problem was the amp powering it went into vesuvius mode half way through the night & filled the dj booth with nice smelling smog. I tried to bottle up the smoke from the amp and put it back , but it wouldn�t do much except just make an unhappy humming noise... exactly what 2 expect for an amp that cost 60quid! One of the old speakers snapped a coil too, even though they were no where close to xmech (xmax of 2mm... xmech~20mm) Prolly damaged the speaker years ago but never noticed b4! Even with only 600w to the ravehorn there was noticable extention with 5K going into the 1850�s. Needs massively stronger speakers & masses more power to really shake the club tho. The 1850�s were really pelting out the kick crossed over at 80hz too, bracketting the power that was being wasted down below to the kick frequencies really makes the 1850�s shine. Was looking at these 10�s or 12�s to drive the ravehorn http://www.profissom.com.br/10p4.htm http://www.profissom.com.br/12p4.htm 12 looks a bit too flexible, but the 10 looks fairly tough. Could easily put 4-8 of those 10s onto the ravehorn without going overly mad on the compression ratio, with 8 of the 10p4�s could prolly drive it with 8k without melting the coils, i reckon it needs about that to really shake the dance floor...

	brutal. the only word for it. i'm very much liking the look of those 10s, they have very adult looking motors though i couldn't figure out too much from the portuguese spec. they should be nice and 'fast' (hee hee) and i'm sure 8k is a reasonable figure as presumably the loading is very stiff. james.

	Bugger, your right, I was going to suggest using Babelfish but that can't work when the text is embedded into a jpeg file Man maybe we should all arrange a field night out at Roborgs
