That all depends on whether you'll be charging £60 I suppose!

Not a bad setup, A LOT better than what I started out with! Personally I don't see the use of a DMX desk when you're first starting out (unless there's a specific reason for using it) - Make sure the music's right first, then concentrate on what your lights are doing.

Have you done any gigs at all yet? - If not, get practicing! - Learn your music collection like the back of your hand. A few years ago I had mine down to an art, someone asked for a song I'd know whether or not I had it, and where it was in my CD collection...then I found PCDJ and now I don't know where anything is!

Also, learn the ins and ours of your equipment - A friend of mine once used my twin CD players and to his confusion - couldn't find the "stop" button...

Find the quickest and most efficient way to set your rig up, mine was always a case of Sound first - Lights Second.

Simple things like G-Clamps for your lighting save a ton of time! - For years I was screwing my lights to the stand with a nut & bolt, used to take about 5 minutes - bought a set of G-Clamps, and it took less than 30 seconds to hang all my lights.

Looks like you're making a good start though - keep it up!

Lol - clearly not! - I would've thought with the cue button being red and right next to the Play/Pause button, it would've been a give away....apparently not :D
