As a DJ who spins at a lot of different clubs, I tend to evaluate the establishment based on their sound and equipment. I never understand why a club would have a sub-par mixer, which is essential to a DJ’s performance. Some clubs have out-of-date, clunky, s**ty mixers, while others have the latest and greatest. In an effort to help some club owners art, I have news on Rane’s new club mixer, The Sixty-Eight. It’s dope, and if I had a club I would stock this bad boy… Check out the features:
Rane and Serato welcome the Rane SIXTY-EIGHT, the ultimate club mixer. Two computers, two USB ports, up to four decks and a range of effects.
