Johnny Drama’s work space
Hey DJTT’ers,
Finaly I took some time to post my setup.
Started in 2000 (being a student) and using PCDJ Red + controller
Then I signed my contract in 2002 and bought a set of cdj800’s (just came out) & stanton smx 501.
Loved that setup, that SMX was a good mixer (hybrid scratch) with 100% kill on the eq’s & a decent crossfader. Build like a tank, never had any problems with that mixer. I had to repair one of my cdj’s (new laser unit).
In 2005 I had GAS after playing with a DJM 909 and had to get one… FANTASIC mixer, one of a kind and sometimes I miss it in my setup. The SMX became a gift for my little brother in law and I rocked that 909 like there was no tomorrow. I still have it as backup mixer.
I was never cured from GAS and having a good job helped in financing my spending habit.
So 2006 I bought two American Audio HTD 4.5 (superOEM) for cheap and switched my 909 to a Xone 92r.
What can I say…if you need 4 channels the 92 is all you need…EVER !
That analogue sound is incredible and the build quality is the best i’ve seen.
Around 2008 the laptop was added to my setup with traktor scratch.
I loved TS from the beginning and it changed my dj-ing forever…never left that system and use it now more then ever.
In 2010 my old but trustworthy cdj800’s were sold & I bought a set of cdj850’s.
Loved the HID options & the player but sold these after 2 weeks to get a set of 2000’s
This is how my current setup looks like (added a X1 & monitors):
No GAS at the moment, I tried a DB2 & DB4 but not my thing…and I prefer the sound of the 92.
Maybe my MBP will get an update but that will be it, even with the possibility of cdj2000 nexus on their way.
I love to discuss gear, so if you have a question about my setup or previous gear I owned…please shoot.
Thanks for reading & have a great weekend !
