Nice setup jester! How do you like your Senns 205s and for how long have you owned them? I've had my 205's for 6 months and love them even if they seem kinda flimsy. But I still like to hear opinions on them.

[Jester]

Probably a couple years i'd say. The've been thrashed and still sound great. Usually i leave them at home when we do parties though. The boys have some flasher cans than me lol.

Depends on the mixer. With the X1600 it already has a built in 4/4 soundcard so you can mix externally without using a whole bunch of cables. I still use the audio 6 with it however. If your mixer does not have a soundcard then yes you will need a soundcard for it.

why do you use the audio 6 with the x1600?

i opted for a vci-400 ege instead of the x1600 with 2 x1s, but now looking at the denons again is making me rethink my purchase. i ended up going with the ege because it would be easier for me to bring to the places i want to gig and hook it into an open channel on the house mixer. i can just put it on a stand and get to work, even in crowded booths.

now i'm considering selling my ege or one of my guitars to get the x1600 anyhow. after playing around with internal mixing i just don't really prefer it...what to do, what to do? it just seems so much easier to bring the ege to gigs. do you bring your x1600 out when you play?

[Jester]

To be honest, mainly because i haven't had a lot of time on the thing! its all set up etc but i'm just more confident with the a6 until i get some more time with the denon's card.
Yes mate all our gear gets lugged out. I'm not really worried what mixer we use defo prefer my beast though will be a lot easier when i get the FZ12MIX case for it.

I've used a lot of mixers .. good ones .. DJM600, 700, 800 etc. Shitty ones .. Behringer DJX700 and others i was too drunk to remember. We've only had this Denon less than a week and all the boys agree (even the ones that have djm700's) that the build quality, feel, sound output, midi implementation, everything on this is FAR superior. Time will tell though huh

Denon for sure make solid mixers. However the djm 700 is utter shite quality.. compared to djm 800.

[Jester]

agreed

nice setup, big fan of standalone mixer and x1s!
how do you use your MF3D? how is it mapped? do you play on 2 or 4 decks?

[Jester]

Hey mate,

The 3D i just use to jam out some effects when the need arises, i am using a cut down IG type mapping i made more geared toward trance use. When we play together i would just use the 2 decks, sometimes 3.

I just picked up a MIDI Fighter Spectra so will do another setup pic once it arrives. Cheers

you're yet to demonstrate the toughness of the crane stand by putting crates of beer on top of it

A lot heavier than beers
