the decks will still move, but the needle won't jump But it's a matter of your preference, the floats I can easily just pop into my bag, and pull them out in the venue causes for them. If you play a venue that already has decks then you only pack your records, and if the dj ahead of you had the skipping/ vibration going on it will only take you a few minutes to slide in and setup your floats without stopping the groove.

They were using those Orange cushion things at the Movement Festival, and in my opinion they didn't seem to work too well. They still make the decks bob up and down, like you are at sea. What I would recommend is to go buy those foam pads that go under monitor speakers and use those. They work far better at reducing unwanted vibrations. Still, your decks will be raised up about 4 inches, so be prepared for that. e > Incidentally for the gig I just mentioned in a previous post I've > purchased > a pair of those "Freefloat" things (bright orange, weirdly shaped > inflatable > cushions you put your decks on) in an attempt to reduce feedback which > seems > to the limiting factor with our set up at the venue we're playing.
