    Default Ricoot's setup

    Figured it is time to share my setup as well, so... here it is .

    I started with a Hercules mp3 e2 in mid 2010 with a demo of CDJ. I really hadn't looked into the whole dj'ing yet and i really bought it because, well... it was just there and i hadn't much to spend.
    After a month or two i really started to hate the thing because of it's plastic feel and lack of "coolness" factor i quess.

    Then there was this glorious moment in my life where i discovered ean's videos and the vci-100.
    Ordered a black vci-100 with an audio2dj instantly.
    The VCI and traktor really changed everything and i decided to put even more of my time into this new found hobby.

    As, the most of us, i'm a geek for mods and gadgets so it didn't take really long before i started drilling and filing up the holes for the arcade buttons.
    Took a bit of sweat and tears but everything worked out nicely.
    The DJtechtools overlay and firmware upgrade followed a week or two later.
    My love for the VCI was... i'd wish i could've started a relationship with it .

    After using it for about a year i started to love / hate the mapping on the VCI. I couldn't be bothered to map things myself for the effect section so iadded a kontrol X1 with it's native mapping.

    With the release of de kontrol S2 i figured i might as well step it up a bit.
    That "everything in one solution" and clean lay-out really did it for me.

    So here i am with:
    -Kontrol S2 (Will be replacing every knob with those gorgeous new orange chroma caps and a satinblack custom overlay)
    -Launchpad (effects) (Guess i'll map it for the sample decks sometime soon)
    -Sennheiser HD25-2 (Had a bunch of other headphones over the years but they just didn't do it for me)
    -Behringer b1030a (Still have a pair of Alesis 1 MKII's but one has a broke power supply)
    -Cheapo laptop stand
    -Dell xps 14z - 64GB SSD - i5 - 6GB DDR 3
    -Traktor pr 2.6
    -"Booth" - IKEA IKEA IKEA IKEA

    Style:
    Minimal,Tech house and techno mainly.
