loving your setup mate, checked out your Fused 1st episode yesterday was really great! you and i share very similar tastes in music, do you find F1 or maschine is better or what you use more for adding to the mix (filler, hi hats, etc etc)? ive been thinking about adding maschine to my setup almost solely for the step sequencer (id use maschine for production eventually), but also saving for some cdj 2ks. anyways glad you finally made a setup thread
also, you thinking of going xone K2 route since you have the db4 ‘n’ all?
Thanks for your comments mate. I’m still fairly new to this (just over a year now), so feedback is appreciated - I’m still learning a lot…
For now I’m using Maschine purely as a MIDI controller, using the pads for loop setting, cue points, waveform zooms, plus loads of other stuff - the units ‘page’ functionality comes in handy to manage multi decks mappings.
Nah on the K2 - I know it links up well with the DB4 but I don’t think it’ll give me anything extra.
That setup is sick! Im in the process of building a workstation for my new house. Although we dont have an Ikea anywhere close (which blows) I still managed to order some CAPITA brackets through Ikea online.
What kind on LED lighting did you use for your workstation?
cpetticrew: been trying to find them on the online store from where I bought them, but I can’t find them… I’ll keep looking and post the link when I find it, but they’re nothing overly special. I bought two sets, about £30 each from Maplin in the UK. They’re LED strips…
Cheers - yeah, last thing people want is a shit load of my voice and accent. It’s cool that we have pretty much creative licence to do what we want on our shows, which is nice.
What do you want to know streaming wise? Flash Media Encoder in this instance, which is commonly used…
Sadly they had to go. Whilst they work in Hybrid with Traktor through timecode, there were various niggles that ultimately meant I needed tighter integration. The 2k nexus’, with their Traktor certified status have given me that, along with the ability to continue to learn mixing without Traktor through Rekordbox.
As much as I loved the Denon 39’s, I haven’t regretted the additional outlay for the Pioneer’s. In fact, they’ve been my best purchase so far.
