Re: Anyone use a linux machine for audio?

Mmm... dude, that's not really in the spirit of Linux, asking other people to solve your problems... you should only be installing Linux if you enjoy spending your time getting things working and configuring shit that most people don't care about. :)

Looks like there's a few mods around:

Looks okay, nothing mindblowing about it to me though... personally I don't know why they didn't ditch the CDJ line completely after the 1000MK3 and focus on a Pioneer UDJ-1000, ie. a CDJ-1000 except no CD, just a few USB ports.

There's a good chance you won't hear it, at least as loud as you might in a studio with a sub that goes down to 20Hz - loads of clubs use bassbins that only respond down to about 35-40Hz.
