Dream setup?..
Well along with my Nightclub recidency, i would have a DJM 900 Nexus, with CDJ2000 Nexus’s…with 3rd and 4th channels being decks controlled in traktor with X1’'s…Send return on DJM goes to a RMX 1000, and master out goes throug second pc w/ ableton live (controlled by a APC 40) out to the speakers…
I’m quite far from it, but my realistic dream setup is:
*DJM 700 or 800 or 850
*2x Reloop Contours(that I already own)
*NI Kontrol X1
*NI Kontrol F1
*Audio 10
*Some cheap vinyl decks(besides knowing that 1200’s and 1210’s are top of the line, I don’t know much about them, especially about the cheaper ones)
*AiAiAi TMA-1 Beatport (that I already own)
*Behringer CMD MM-1, so I wouldn’t have to bring the big mixer with me at smaller events
2x cdj2000 nxs + Db4 + 2x SL1210. A macbook pro to run traktor pro and a nice pile of vinyl.
yamaha HS50M or Adam A5X monitors and HD25/TMA1 headphones.
My realistic dream setup;
What i already own:
2x cdj400
djm 909
A10 + traktor pro 2.5.1
Macbook Pro
X1
hd25
What i would like to add:
2x SL1210
yamaha hs50m monitors
My dream set up :-2x cdj 2000 nexus, DJM 900 nexus, MBP, 2 x SL 1210 mk5g, Zomo MC-1000, NI X1, a pair if Rokit 8s and a pair HDJ 2000 cans running through Traktor
Current (new) set up isnt a million miles away:-
2 CDJ900s, DJM 850, MBP, 2 x Citronic PD45 Ultima MkII (Super OEM tts), Zomo MC-1000, crappy hifi and cheap and cheerful Sony MDR ZX300 headphones.
Other than replacing the monitors, headphones and adding an x1, which isn’t essential,my current setup more than meets my needs. Its capabilities far outstrip mine
-3x CDJ 2k or 900, depends on the jogs really, i once played on 800 mk1 and it was terrible because the jogs were so loose. used to heavier ones, not really crazy about the other stuff 2k has over 900s
-Some nice mixer, i’m thinking xone 92 (black)/DB4. DJM900 and Ecler evo 5 don’t look half bad either
-2x techs (BLACK)
-dub siren
-all of that on table which is not too low
-some nice headphones, HD25’s would probably be fine + red earpads
-and some nice speakers, not really knowledgeable in this field, but definitely with a sub that can go even to the lowest freqs. It’s shit to have tunes, you can’t hear properly because subs don’t pick them up
-fridge full of beer
edit: maybe some controller for messing around when travelling… what controllers have good pitch faders and jogs? how about ns6 for example?
