im so lost when i see a setup with no wheels on it hahaha
im so old school

dude, do me a favor. take a giant piece of paper or cardboard
draw a circle on it
cut it out
paint it black and put the word SPIN HERE on it


then repost the pic so i can feel comfortable again AHAHHAHAHAH

kidding aside, looks nice for a setup like yours.

You feel it needs something still?

As this is mainly composing area, it is needed new midi keyboard, evolution knobs are cracked, i have even all the knobs/faders disconnected.
But the good news for you, yes, there will going to be some spinning objects as well to improve dj corner. For now, i have used APC next to Launchpad fo djing - APC with Collision mapping in Traktor and Isotonik for Ableton plus custom traktor mapping for Launcpad.

Nice setup!
Ableton and traktor works good together?
i would like use ableton (i use traktor+S2) but im afraid if the both dont work correctly (i tried already and not good)

It takes some time to get Ableton and Traktor in the same computer work like they should using VAC, maybe new audio drivers for scarlett in the future will do better job (Jack Audio somehow does not function with scarlett?). But mainly i use different soft for different situations from dj view- Ableton for prepared gigs/live perfomances and unprepared Traktor on the fly (moar fun ).
