[@zizou8359]

Yes but how do we choose the newt song, what parameters should we take in consideration…

[@Socialtigeruk]

why do you need 6 plugs above your sofa? Asking for a friend :)

[@djkarlthomas]

So I record these videos in my study- before I moved the sofa here, it was my along this wall and had my decks, computer, tv and a lamp plugged in...the room was designed to have the computer here really.....

[@tempoelektrik4553]

So what you’re saying is don’t go and play all the big bangers straight away..... I’ll grab my coat....

[@djkarlthomas]

Depends what you would describe as a banger....
