I started getting into DJ’ing last year and since then I have put a lot of wok into the effort. I re-did my desk space to create this basic studio/mixing station.
I recently purchased the EIE Pro as well as a Numark 4Trak. I also got this Shelf from Ikea (as well as the desk) and raised my HP TouchSmart to make it look like a monitoring Studio Set-Up (But I don’t actually use the desktop for Music-related stuff, go figure! )
I have the Harmon / Kardon Soundstick III’s which are amazing, and I have them set up to act as monitors as I turned off all the enhancement and set up the sound as Studio Quality. They are awesome in my small bedroom
Anyway, give me some advice, suggestions, criticism!
I am planning to get an Apple MacBook Pro for College and it will be used to work all this stuff! And in the near future, I want to upgrade my desktop to the new Apple iMac Apple has some incredible products nowadays. I have always been a PC guy, but after paying a visit to the Apple store, and doing some research, I am all for Apple!
Those are the Harmon / Kardon Soundstick III’s (Sites-HK-US-Site)
They’re very loud with 4 speakers in each tube plus 1 mini subwoofer in each tube. Then there is the main sub of course on the bottom. They’re not monitors like the typical KRK’s but they are probably one of the best 2.1 computer speakers out there. Nice and loud, great bass, and supreme clarity.
I’ve had them for about a year and a half, and I use them daily on about 1/4 volume (still pretty damn loud!) and the sound quality is still awesome! They do look breakable, but i keep em in a safe spot
I’m not comparing them to professional grade monitors at all, because I know that monitors a definitely worth it. But for what I paid, I think they sound amazing and look very modern and unique.
I bought a bunch of new Ikea furniture over the summer, painted my back wall black, and bought an ASUS monitor to use as an large format screen for the laptop. I also ordered a new MSI Ghost 2 weeks ago as a replacement for the Dell and I will be getting rid of the HP Touchsmart computer on the right. With the New laptop, I plan to get more into production and I also want to purchase a small keyboard from AKAI.
Nice setup! I also have the harmon kardon sound sticks, and I was surprised how well they sound. To be honest, for straight up djing theyre badass. I used them for many years and they’re still kicking today. I bought Neumann monitors and I still go back and use the sound sticks.
