The Rane Seventy-Two Batter Mixer does not dissapoint

It’s not often we have a piece of gear cross our desk that’s equal part eye candy and rugged performance, so right out of the box we expected great things from the new Rane Seventy-Two battle mixer. We weren’t disappointed.

Powered by the all-new Serato DJ Pro software, the Seventy-Two combines intuitive touchscreen navigation with dual Flex FX engines to allow for effortless stacking of an extensive effects bank. There is quite simply nothing here to keep what’s in your head from coming out of your speakers. Of course, being a battle mixer, the Seventy-Two arrives ready to rumble via dual-USB connections that allow two DJs to go toe-to-toe simultaneously and handover effortlessly.

4 tips to choose the best Motivational Speaker for your event

We love athletes and anyone else whose achievements inspire us to excel in business and in our personal lives. But how do you choose the right motivational speaker for your next annual meeting?

Choose a message, not an achievement.

Look for a speaker who shares what they have learned rather than what they have done.

Look for practical lessons that are transferable to your industry.

The magic happens before the presentation.
