Chris Z's Traktor Setup

I started DJ'ing around 3 years ago, started out with a Pioneer DDJ-ERGO running Virtual DJ LE. Picked up a Midi Fighter Classic and used it with the Instant Gratification mapping. Then I started to use Traktor and realised the ERGO wasn't getting me the full experience. So I decided to upgrade to a Kontrol S4. I used the S4 for the last couple years and had no complaints, but i recently won a Kontrol X1 MK2 off of a DJ'ing website and instantly fell in love with it. So i picked up a second X1 MK2 and a Traktor Kontrol Z2, and that's the current setup I'm working with...

Macbook Pro
Traktor Kontrol Z2
Traktor Kontrol X1 MK2 (x2)
Midi Fighter Classic
Yorkville YSM6 Studio Monitors

Sweet

Im looking at ditching my S4 in favour of a mixer/X1mk2 Combo, is it a worthwhile leap?

Definitely worth it for a proper hardware mixer section. It's not as much of an upgrade if you go for a Z2 though.

Recently got into producing with Ableton, and picked up a Push. Awesome piece of hardware for any ableton user, makes it really easy to get ideas down. Also have ableton synced to Traktors MIDI clock, so I have a session of just drum hits as clips that I can play over a track while mixing in Traktor, is a lot of fun

I'll have to add a picture of the entire setup after I get it all organized how I want it :D

Those speaker stands are bloody lovely - but - HOW FUCKING MUCH?!?!?!?

I just built 2 speaker stands out of 4 Ikea Sultan legs for <£25...
