Temple of Boom / Jester's Lab

Nice setup jester! How do you like your Senns 205s and for how long have you owned them? I’ve had my 205’s for 6 months and love them even if they seem kinda flimsy. But I still like to hear opinions on them.

Probably a couple years i’d say. The’ve been thrashed and still sound great. Usually i leave them at home when we do parties though. The boys have some flasher cans than me lol.

why do you use the audio 6 with the x1600?

i opted for a vci-400 ege instead of the x1600 with 2 x1s, but now looking at the denons again is making me rethink my purchase. i ended up going with the ege because it would be easier for me to bring to the places i want to gig and hook it into an open channel on the house mixer. i can just put it on a stand and get to work, even in crowded booths.

now i’m considering selling my ege or one of my guitars to get the x1600 anyhow. after playing around with internal mixing i just don’t really prefer it…what to do, what to do? it just seems so much easier to bring the ege to gigs. do you bring your x1600 out when you play?

To be honest, mainly because i haven’t had a lot of time on the thing! its all set up etc but i’m just more confident with the a6 until i get some more time with the denon’s card.
Yes mate all our gear gets lugged out. I’m not really worried what mixer we use defo prefer my beast though :slight_smile: will be a lot easier when i get the FZ12MIX case for it.

Denon for sure make solid mixers. However the djm 700 is utter shite quality.. compared to djm 800.

agreed :slight_smile:

nice setup, big fan of standalone mixer and x1s!
how do you use your MF3D? how is it mapped? do you play on 2 or 4 decks?

Hey mate,

The 3D i just use to jam out some effects when the need arises, i am using a cut down IG type mapping i made more geared toward trance use. When we play together i would just use the 2 decks, sometimes 3.

I just picked up a MIDI Fighter Spectra so will do another setup pic once it arrives. Cheers :wink:

A lot heavier than beers :slight_smile:

Spectra arrives (finally)

All ready to go with the Spectra on Remix Deck duty. They threw in a glow in the dark chroma cap fader as well.

I cry everytime I see your set up!! so many pretty lights!!

At the minute i’ve just got a mixer. Moving overseas has meant our money has had to go on boring things like furniture and a car. All that should be sorted this weekend so I can then get on amazon for my X1’s!!

What are your plans with the Remix Decks? How are you planning on integrating them?

well you may see on that pic the blue light on channel 2 is on midi mode (deck c) , so that is my eq’s control etc for the remix decks. the 3d is back on remix deck duty as tekki and i are working on a little something for the spectra. so until i get around to making these percussion remix deck packs for trance use , i’ll only be using them for house etc.
i really need to sort out a flight case and am due a headphone update too. on the wishlist :slight_smile:

Would be interested to see what you come up with in terms of remix packs for trance. I cant for the life of me make use of the remix decks with prog trance/trance etc. But then i’m not really artistic like!! :wink:

On a different note I’ve been invited to Wanaka later this year!! Looks like a cool place.

Thats a lot of buttons dude :smiley:

for what do you use the Midifghters?

your gear keeps getting more and more fancy! i like

Them lights sure is purdy! :smiley:

3D= remix decks
Spectra= something tekki and i are working on :slight_smile:

@ koop i have a lot of vengeance/loopmasters sample packs and such so i will be whipping up some percussion packs for the 135-140 bpm zone once the mapping for the spectra is done.
you can use a couple of the standard NI packs with trance, i use the african percussion and i think there is another one. i just kill all the bass on the remix decks so there are no clashes.

Ah I’ll look in to that and see how i get on. To be honest i’ve not even looked at the sample packs so it will give something to be getting on with.

Whats this little something you and Tekki are working on? sounds intriguing!! :wink:
