Traktor Kontroller OVERKILL
Kinda cool, but redundant as hell, especially since he mapped the Maschine to do what the S4 and X1’s were doing.
Agreed. it seems as though he’s attempting to find a purpose for all of his kit. If he had a second Laptop linked via Midi to Ableton and Maschine it would make sense but as it is overkill with the S4.
I want to know more about that laptop >.>
Yea… That was crazy overkill… How can you even get around to using all of that? 
I could see using an S4; with the X-1’s for FX3&4, and all 8 hot cues, etc.; and using the maschine for MPD, sequenced stuff, etc. that would be great. Maybe a little redundancy to make reaching things quickly easier, but this is kinda silly IMO. Especially having all 3 controlling Fx1&2.

Doesn’t need that laptop since hes not running traktor s4 
My POS could run all that with the new coding.
I’m not sure I get all the hate. Yes, there’s some doubled up functionality. But it’s mostly doubled up on Maschine, and a LOT of people like using an MPC style controller because the pads are bigger (same goes for arcade buttons). If he’s using 4 decks, the 2 X1s make sense as well - that way there’s no modality.
He’s found a workflow he likes, and it’s obviously effective for him.
You call it overkill, I call it a promising beginning

Funny I was talking to someone about this the other day. Here’s a pic of Carlo Lio playing at Mansion in Miami. He was opening for Dubfire. This is a huge club on South Beach with big name headliners every weekend. Dude is playing on a Xone: 92 and ONE X1.
I sometimes chuckle at the amount of gear people want to use. I was like that at one point. Now less is more…well less things to mess up at least 
*note: the kit on the side is Dubfires set up. DJM-800, two X1’s and Maschine. One laptop. He also had an Ipad off to the side, not sure what for.
Not hating neMonic.
I’m positive he can DJ circles around me and knows more about Traktor and midi mapping than I probably ever will, so I have much repect for Mr Endo.
I just think he could do alot more with all that lovely equipment. 
Being redundant with “Fact” are we
guys, stop being so negative. i mean, yea it’s alot of equipment but, good for him. i’m sure none of you would deny the opportunity to watch him play and I KNOW that you wouldn’t deny free equipment like that…besides all of us with the s4, it’s kinda overkill when we could just be using the most basic digital mixer…
I’m confused. What was he doing that he couldn’t have done with the S4 alone?
endo is the man and that setup is fucking dope.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but who cares what you think? He’s working for NI, spinning out regularly in a major city, and teaching at Dubspot. Where’s your video showing us how it’s done?
I want to see the video of him walking around NYC, getting off a train carrying all the gear, then walking through a crowded club, making his way to dj booth and trying to set it up or even find room in the booth.
Im not hating, but I agree with the overkill statement. Why did he need the DJM-800? I assume he didnt like the mixer section of the S4 and didnt like the filter of the DJM-800.
I will say the two pieces he didnt need were the Audio8 and the DJM-800…

Screw you dude. There’s no harm in critique. If you’re going to take it so seriously you’re not going to get very far in the arts.
got bored during the maschine explanation, mainly cos i didn’t see any point to rest of kit.
