While we're on the topic of mixers I've got to plug my latest baby, my
Rane Empath mixer. Grandmaster Flash served as the technical
consultant, and his expertise definitely serves the mixer well. While
it may seem like your standard 3 channel mixer, I feel it goes way
beyond the competition. There are so many DJ friendly features - like
a separate EQ for headphones, multiple outputs, global power, 1/4 inch
and 1/8 inch headphone inputs.
Plus, this mixer doesn't force you into the house/techno or battle DJ
mixer camps. I wanted to both scratch and mix, and the Empath performs
well for both functions, especially with the cross fader contour
adjust. The cross-fader is smooth as butta, and Rane claims it is
impervious to the typical enemies of a cross-fader: smoke and dust. It
is a little pricey, but its worth it. The Empath is a rock solid mixer.

to computers, wires & expensive electronic things.
I've always used smooth cloth placemats - they are nearly a perfect
size cover for a turntable or mixer, two CD decks (side by side), etc.
Get them thick enough and they'll keep out dust, hair and scratches
which may occur when shooing the animal away. Plus, they're cheap.
