Hey all so I saved up some money and going to order Emulator!
I know this is a not a traditional way of djing, and being in the game for over 10 years I was never a traditional kinda guy! With that being said I contacted http://www.smithsonmartin.com for a price list!
Very quick response by someone named Julie, who emailed the price list of the setup! Check out the .pdf!
I will definitely make a video and review this awesome gear and with enough gigs I can probably pay this off pretty quick!
Anyone see this live? Or going in the same direction as I am, do share your thoughts!
In terms of pricing for the Stand and the Screen + software: pricing is as follows.
$5,975 - (minus) projector: $5,275 for the 46" - 6 touch setup.
In order to make the setup work you would require a laptop with HDMI output to plug your projector into (Short Throw), minimum spec of Intel Core i5 or i7 with at least 2 GB of RAM and Windows 7 O/S.
Our Emulator software works with Traktor 2 by Native Instruments.
So I am only getting the SCREEN, THE STAND AND THE SOFTWARE!
I mean you could get 2 xone DB:4s with that and have change. If it’s what you want then go for it, but that is a hell of a lot of money for what is basically a really big iPad.
If people are watching everything you do I can’t help feeling that takes the excitement of a new track away for an audience. I mean if you can see the track title 2 minutes before it gets played… and worse, if the DJ using it loads your favourite track, you get excited then he decides it doesn’t work and moves on…
Don’t quote me but I think I saw somewhere that emulator has an option to block song tittles and artists! In any case once I get it all I will do an extensive review!
Here is what I will probably order since the price is way lower!
I’m not gonna lie, if I had a few grand to just throw away there’s every chance I’d get one of these just to play with. But there are thousands of things I’d buy beforehand.
Currently I dj friday and saturday at a local club here in Brooklyn! I invested in a Macbook Pro (which I should have done a long long LONG time ago) and I have my VCI 100 SS edition with arcade buttons!
But I have an opportunity to make some real good money if I get the touch screen, through some parties and pay it off! I don’t want to come off saying that i can comfortably afford the touch screen, I look at it as an investment!
You have to understand, that the touchscreen is a GIMMICK (I hope I spelled it right) People will come not only for the MUSIC but also to see something cool and never seen! Tech and new gismos always draw in a crowd! So why not?
Look at some of these famous djz, Deadmouse for example, the guy wears a Mickey mouse head? lol or what ever that thing is on his head! Not to say I need a gimmick, but would definitely not hurt!
OHH by the way if you don’t have money to spend at the moment, i suggest you open up a credit card with 0% intro APR, here is one I just opened
Pay off your investment within 21 months! But don’t miss a payment cuz you will get F%#d! Credit companies love to collect!
Thats how I got my macbook pro, opened up a credit card with 24 months 0% intro apr and just payed 100$ a month! Payed it off! Now its mine forever lol
