Your dream rig

[Jo3]

You guys and your lust for Xone mixers make want to make me want to puke

Have to say Phaidons Rig, but rather than the 4D, I'd go with Audio 8 DJ, 2 XONE1Ds and a XONE92. Call me old-fashioned, but I like that more than the 4D...

Internal mixing ftw - unleash your device chaining, midi routing, fx-building, instrument creating, controlleristic child within !!

I split it up between two areas as I'm a gear whore in both. I put a laptop in my production rig because I want to have the ability to work on something wherever I'm at, so if I get a musical lightbulb in my head, I can pop open the laptop right there and lay down some sounds/beats.

My production rig is rather small and minimal because I'm not quite at the point where I can take advantage of more gear, and I'm yet to find a need for hardware synths/compression/eq etc., as I've been able to do all of that with software.

I like the idea of internal mixing, but the EQs in traktor just don't sound right to me (and yes, I've tried the various types). I've always preferred an external mixer.

Actually Traktor is a terrible example of how internal mixing is better than digital mixing - i was more refering to programs like Ableton or Reakor where you can get really really into the nitty gritty of your setup.

Actually I have to correct my mixer selection.

Not an Xone-4d, a custom built

A mixer with
The MIDI implementation and layout scheme of the Xone-4d
The 4 band EQ and 2 LFO filter setup of the Xone 92
The True Key detect/correct function of a Pioneer DJM-800
The firewire soundcard of an Ecler EVO 5
The Channel FX layout of an Ecler EVO 4
The Master FX layout of a Korg Zero 4
The Joggwheels of a VCI-300
The EQ specific X-fader function of a Behringer DDM4000
and The customer support of Allen & Heath

Not too much to ask, really
