Eric-
I'm glad to see you aren't "DJ Clipp." You probably don't have much company amongst the "in" DJ crowd...
If you're certain that you can get the results you want, then go for it. As to the mixer mods, you'll probably need to talk to the manufacturer or a service tech. Is there a reason you can't put the expander in the drive chain?
Just wonderin'

p.s. your comment about pre-recorded music sucking... well, yeah. It's all about how much 50hZ plays in the car, compressed so there is no range. I did a rap show a few months back where the artist's DAT tape hit the meters at 100% and stayed there for the duration of each track. I don't wonder why you dislike this....

Hi, I guess you got your coffee? Hehe, sorry if my last post sounded harsh I just wanted to explain myself.
Anyhow, I can put the expander between the CD player and the mixer, however that will only expand one of the CD players. I'd rather modify the mixer so it can be used as a "main insert" so I can expand the entire signal then just one of the tracks. I also may do turntables but I havent decided as its a considerable investment to start an entire new format and style.
Otherwise I would never use the expander in a live sound situation, and no wonder theres really no expanders out on the PA market either.
Yeah regarding compression, soooo many commercially recorded songs are so compressed even on CD. Its horrible. Its even WORSE when its on the FM radio! The meters DONT MOVE!
