  • CDJ900
  • Reloop Contour IE
  • Denon DN-X1600
  • CDJ900
  • Tannoy Reveal Active (monitors)
  • HDJ2000
  • Numark TT500’s
  • DJM250 (Take-away mixer)
  • HP Laptop running Traktor Pro 2


Currently i have only 1 turntable active. I use that one to record vinyls. As for the DJM250, i bought that 1 for a nice price. And i use it only when i play at a small party where i don’t want to bring all but the contour and a mixer.
I have to say that i love the filter per channel. Actually the mixer is all i need.

Some day i need to buy longer cables that go to my monitorspeakers.. but i might even end up with smaller ones instead of the Tannoys. The Tannoys are big and heavy.

Nice setup. I actually have the same exact laptop - hp dv6

Niiiiiice, certainly took you long enough to post something here bro’! :wink:

Nice!

cool to see another contour on here! how you enjoying it?

nice setup! a quick question about the djm 250: is there a way to cue the aux channel?

I like the contour. Had them before both IE and CE. Sold them but bought 1 again. It just does the job for me.

@ashigari let me verify today. Never used the aux. Don’t think it is possible

As i expected.. No cue for aux. As soon as you hit the auxlevel you will hear music. 2band eq only.

thanks! too bad though as using samples would have been easier that way

Since my last change almost a year ago few things have changed.. the tannoys have been replaced with krk rp6 phantom grays. The Numark TT500 is gone and replaced with 2 acura’s (i have lost my contourpads so i again need to figure out how to both reloop contours as the pads are not available anymore.
Oh and i added an ikeahack to place my laptop and cdj’s

very clean

I found them again.. my contourpads :slight_smile: Not that is use them that often but hey.. its always fun when you find something you lost in the first place.

What has changed?

A few months ago i bought a Pioneer DDJ-SX. I cannot say why i bought it but i think the reason simply would have been “i just want it”. I sold the CDJ-900’s I didnt actually use them that much plus the hassle in packing them unhook cables and all annoyed me in a way. Also the somehow useless waveform on the player kind of annoyed me as well.

So gone were the 900’s and also the dnx1600. Since the SX has a “standalone” mixer capabillity with dedicated filters per channel i didnt need the denon anymore. There is/was one downside, i’m no longer able to use Mixvibes Cross DVS since i no longer have a soundcard that is capable for DVS.

What else..

I bought a NI Kontrol Z1. which is nice but hardly ever used. Oh and the cherry on the cake will be my latest edition.
A Vestax VCI-380.. why you may ask.. well i get annoyed quite easily and when i want to go to a friend and want to bring a toy to play with i do not want to rip out all cables put the SX in a oversized flightcase that weights 10kg or so. Sure i could have taken the reloops and all but there starts the cable mess again. Plus i kinda like Serato DJ and i love my VCI-380..
