ATTENTION DJ'S: STOP MODIFYING YOUR DJ ROAD CASE!

- The Top 8 Reasons why you SHOULD NOT modify a DJ controller case. I watched about a dozen videos from various people making mods and my stomach turned. I had to stop watching some of them as they started drilling and cutting holes on these cases.
They were totally unaware that connectors were meant to be mounted on electronics---not cases. And that sometimes these connectors, be it XLR or 1/4" or Powe rCon are mostly plastic and can snap off the case when transporting them about.
You have to stop and think about this---if it were possible to have a case that came from each manufacturer that provided these outlets, don't you think that these multi-million dollar companies by now, would sell them like that or as an option? Its like I said in the video, the wood be it 1/4" or 3/8" is not strong enough to have several ports cut into them, it will definitely compromise the structure. Peace!

All 8 reasons are basically the same thing said differently 😂 #weird
i know that and you know that, but dj's do not listen to anyone, you probably know that. So i made that list. I do latin weddings and birthdays and one dj who is a big deal on the internet thinks bachata and cumbia are the same style of music/dance I tried to explain to him that they are different but of course he doesnt listen. So i know most djs are stubborn and think they are right all the time.
@@oldschooldjernie defo nailed it there! DJ’s don’t listen and have MASSIVE egos lol
Actually modding cases helps in a lot of areas. It cuts down the setup time a lot. It organizes all the mess of wires etc. It looks better. I could go on… these cases are so cheap these days that reselling it doesn’t even matter.
@@DjTomWest I know that they are relatively inexpensive 200-500 dollars, but instead of tossing it into trash dumpster, would it be better to use that money for Netflix or Hulu Plus. Right now I'm selling a couple untouched cases on eBay, they have lot of views but if I modded them, frankly nobody would buy them. I think if you organized your cables in a manner that works efficiently you wouldnt need to mod the cases. But thats for another day. Thanks for your opinion.
@@oldschooldjernie my main reason is the time it cuts down for setup and strike down. It’s interesting to hear all the way DJs look at their gear. Do you use a road case and just leave it as is?
If you need ports just do a patch panel in the front so youre not drilling into the case
Who gives a shit about the new buyer! Live for today and not tomorrow!
Thats what my brother said when he went to Vegas and gambled away $3,000 TRUE STORY: I once thought that and bought an El Camino truck when I first started to dj. Everyone said don't buy that. I didnt listen. It turned out to be the biggest money pit i ever owned and even had dj equipment stolen from it while doing gigs. I learned that you have to study up, examine things or end up being stupid. Peace!
I run all my cables out on my side of the table
No problem. Thx for sharing
thanks. Some dj's love wasting time cutting and installing connectors thinking that they will save up on set up/break down time. When in actuality, just remove the cables and go home
Truth!!!! Thank You 🙏🏽
I think if it's done neatly It's not a deal breaker. I hate having to plug a million things in and cables everywhere.
I've been there and the quick and easy solution is to not have everything and the kitchen sink inside your coffin. For example, wireless mics? Nah but them in a separate case. External mixer? Nah put it in a soft bag. And so forth. You start looking like some old lady with everything she carries in her purse. Plus the case becomes lighter and easier to deal with. Peace!
@@oldschooldjernie I use CDJS and rhe 900nxs2. The reason for my modification is, the case is just too narrow in the rear. All the wires are touching the back of the case. The patch panel mounts help from damaging the equipment. Whoever designed this case, couldn't have been a DJ.
@@DBLG65 i use individual cases so I dont get that problem. Try the odyssey cdj cases ruclips.net/video/M5BEahLkySQ/видео.html
This is useless information…….!
Its senseless only if you want to modify. I just sold a cdj case no mods. If i drilled holes on it nobody would want it sir. Would you buy it?
@@oldschooldjernie - Depends on the mods but most likely, yes. You actually seem quite defensive for someone who prefaced their video with "you're not gonna like this". You were right lol. I'm a mobile DJ and my case mods have shaved at least 20-30 minutes off both set up and tear down...time is money.
Some people do mods on classic cars and its harder to sell is how i see things. A clean 57 chevy than a lifted rear and blower on the hood is hatder to sell
This isn’t a car it’s a flight case…
@@jaydenvandermerwe3486 -exactly!!
8 reasons are all the same
As you know djs do not listen very well. They are hard headed. Therefore yes you are right. I had to plow the same patch of land a few times to get the message through.
@@oldschooldjernie but over all you are right ifu plan to sell which I rarely do sell controllers, some buyers don't like patch jobs. I love patching. It is more organized, faster set ups and easier to avoid audio issues.
@@chrispolykandriotis3587 i go thru equipment like water and notice buyers dont give 2 shits if you include a mixer or controller with patches. In fact I had a guy who wanted to know if i would make the price of a controller with case, less if i removed the XLR out. Hahahah
THATS THE POINT......YES......CORRECT......SPOT ON......I CONCUR
Okay bud 😂😂
