Excellent ideas. The cut away on the case is one I'm ready to do now. I too, use a mouse to navigate, and like you, it has bothered me for years. Thank you Rachel! Keep these videos coming.
This is wonderful! Just about to get back at it and picked up a 707 and case myself, will definitely using this as pointers to trick it out... GREETINGS FROM CANADA , have definitely enjoyed many of your vids
Great video Rachel. I love the mod to the shelf and I can totally relate to the wrist resting on the metal, could eventually lead to a wrist injury. Funny you posted this video because I just received a pro-x flight case for my DDJ-SR2 controller for small outdoor events. My mod consisted of putting the Shure BLX/PG58 wireless receiver underneath the controller, I’m surprised you didn’t put your EV wireless receiver underneath their to save even more time. The Shure fit perfect underneath since it has internal antennas.
DJ J Tech the only reason why I didn’t install the wireless mic is because I have 3 controllers and I need to be able to easily grab and go mics and such depending on what setup I bring. Otherwise I would have.
DJ Rachel you’re just like me with 3 controllers! MC7000 with Audio Technica ATW-1322 dual wireless in the rack space underneath. DDJ-800 with one Shure BLX24R/SM58 and one BLX/PG58 DDJ-SR2 with another single Shure wireless set but just got done ordering the Sennheiser XSW 1-825 dual wireless since the space underneath is big enough! I need an intervention hahaha
Great stuff, Rachel! I'm thinking of switching from my Denon MC6000 to this controller. But, I am a 19 inch rack case guy. I have my wireless mic system, power conditioner and connector panel all mounted below my controller. The Roland won't fit in a traditional rack case. How do you plug or where do you keep your wireless system? I try to connect as little as possible, so having everything pre-wired is key for me. Plus, it makes for a clean look. I was thinking of racking my other components in a separate case and then patching it with short cables to the Roland case, maybe by way of another connector panel. Thoughts? Ideas?
This is an older video. I’ve since moved on from this flight case to an all in one booth where my controller and gear is permanently mounted in the top. th-cam.com/video/Rvx793hZH-g/w-d-xo.html
Hi Rachel, I like that your lovin’ the 707M 😊 It was going to be the next investment in my DJ setup sometime in the next couple of months. That was until Denon announced the Prime 2 and the Go recently and now I’m a little bit undecided. Is there any possibility of you doing an in depth review of some of the best features of the 707 from the perspective of a “working” mobile DJ please? If I understand correctly it has something similar to the “zone out” feature on the Prime? I also saw a video of the anti feedback feature which was impressive! If you could find the time to give us all you opinion on this unit I’m sure it would be greatly appreciated by a lot of the DJ community 👍 Thanks DJ Gaz (UK)
Gadgetman Gaz I will absolutely do this for you. I think the Roland 707M is VERY well rounded for the mobile DJ. It’s like the Swiss army of controllers. It does have the zone out you mentioned and great mic inputs.
DJ Rachel That’s great news! Very much looking forward to it 👍 You’ve already converted me to Ape Labs for most of my lighting needs so I’m hoping that I’ll be suitably impressed with the 707M and to make it the next DJ “treat” for myself 😁 Keep up the good work with all your great videos! DJ Gaz
Thanks for the links Dj Rachel, can you post the link to the microphone holder too. I searched on Amazon but haven’t been able to find the one you have. Thanks so much,
Hi Rachel. Nice lights. I have a question. I have a NS7, but without slide out board. I have the metals where laptop is placed. I currently use a usb led light, which takes away usb from laptop. Any other suggestions. Thank you.
Just to clarify, you’re not using a flight case? You’re using a laptop stand? I’m not sure what you mean by “I have the metals where laptop is placed.” If you don’t want to loose a USP port for your led lights, I’d recommend getting a USB splitter, using a separate power pack or battery operated light. I hope that answered your question.
question... if you had to install XLR outputs and Powercon on your case, would you put them on the back or the front? just wondering... if in the back, your guest could see the cables coming out of the case.. but if you put them on the front, they don't see anything.. whats your take on this? just curious what your thoughts are.
DJBoomer509 No right or wrong here. I’ve seen both. Do you use a facade? If so it’s a non issue. The front would make hiding the cables a bit easier, but if you have a rack mount mic or power conditioner you might fit more going out the back. That’s why I say it’s really about what makes sense for your work flow. I do just fine coming out the back of mine and running the table along the sides of my flight case. I use the handles to keep things anchored.
Because I have three different controllers I don’t rack mount anything so that I can take what wireless stuff I need depending on what I decide to use.
RT I have a MCX800 this is my large controller for club gigs and performance based events where I want the look and feel of a larger platter. Its my favorite unit in o mix on. It’s about 90lbs in the flight case so I only take it when necessary. I also have a Roland 707m. Just picked this up over the fall of 2019. It’s a great middle man. It’s not as large as the MCX8000 but large enough where it feels good to mix on. It has a TON of inputs and up to 4 microphones. This is my go to for smaller bars, gyms, and events where I don’t feel like dragging out my larger unit. I can get in and get out with ease. My 3rd controller is a Denon MC6000MK2. It’s very small and a beast. It’s my backup unit and home controller to practice on. Virtual DJ is amazing with all 3 of these. It automatically switches the sound card so all 3 are plug and play. It’s no hassle at all. 🙂
Good morning Rachel I am also using the DJ-707M but I find I have to always adjust my trim because the when I load a track it becomes extremely high so I have to turn my trim button all the way up and all the way down before I can the trim to a normal level. This is driving me nuts. Please note I have tried auto+remember gain setting, I also tried just the auto in the settings and still does not work. Do you have any suggestions at all. Thanks
Hi Rachel what dj software do you use with the Roland 707M. If it is virtual dj do you find the wave form small. I use the Roland 707M but I find the wave form are small unless I turn the trim really high and then it goes into the red, which is no good. Virtual DJ has been unable to provide me with a solution to this. Are you having this issue?
DJ Kirk I use VDJ2020. The wave form size has nothing to do with the controller you’re using. The size of the wave form can be adjusted within the software. There are several skin options. Have your tried messing around with those? Thanks for checking this out!
I haven’t really thought about it! 😂 You’re right. I probably won’t be taking my Roland out of the Infinity to put back in this. I have another 707M flight case for sale, but would be willing to sell this now that you mentioned it.
It’s a ProX case for a Roland 707M. It could be discontinued because this video is a few years old. If you just do a simple Google search for a pro X Roland 707 case you might find some used or on eBay.
Leah D Since I own 3 controllers and change them out frequently I don’t have any wireless mics or things like the Alto Stealth Pro rack mounted. I need to be able to easily swap out my wireless options depending on what I bring to the event. 🙂
for my laptop self i used 2 mouse pads so i didnt have to cut mine
you have a nice set up
I'll definitely be utilizing a few of these ideas in your video. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent ideas. The cut away on the case is one I'm ready to do now. I too, use a mouse to navigate, and like you, it has bothered me for years. Thank you Rachel! Keep these videos coming.
Love the ideas Rachel thank you. I’m definitely liking the ape labs & mic idea.
Yeah DJ Rachel. THis is why I love this channel. I will be doing some renovations.
DJ CAR I’d love to see what you do! Keep me posted. 🙂
Thank you for sharing the mods. Great ideas!
Great job Rachel awesome break down an explanation of your flight case

I hope you love the 707m! It’s now my main wedding rig! Thanks for checking this out and stopping by the channel.
Yes, I use a proper mouse also! Those ape labs lights look so handy. Great video
Some really great ideas there to make your life easier, and to speed up Setup / pack-up time.

Nice mods on ur case, I have the same case, but I use the numark NS7III. I really like the light strip under the laptop stand.
I love what you did with the flight case. I'm also thinking about getting the 707m. It seem like a good investment and would last a long time. Thanks
Love my 707M. Tons of utility. Great Mobil DJ controller!
@@DJRachelLynch I got my 707m last week. I'm in love with it!

Great video and mods!

WOW!!! Thx for the great ideas!!!
Excellent content. Thx
Sweet set up👊🏾......curious about the LEDs tho.....
Nice job!
You can get that dent out of your mic grille by using the back of a screwdriver handle on the inside of the grille. Should pop right out.
Nate Benfit I’m going to give that a try! Thanks!
By the way I love what you have done with your flight case
Hey Kirk, my name is also Kirk. 😊
