2x vibe audio black air subs, made myself, running about 3000w rms into them.
Lappy bag, which can surprisingly can hold all but the mixer and cdj, which i dont take out anyway.
The next thing to upgrade for me will be the mixer, get away from the low end stuff, looking to pick up a xone 92 or even a db2 would be sweet.
Yeah i enjoy it ], although thinking to moving to something with a few more channels as i have aquired afew more bits of gear since i made this video. Ohh and no more midifighter.
Can you post a tutorial or something on how you made you Midi Fighter. I live in Australia also and it’s expensive to get all the proper parts shipped so I was wondering what trickery you actually used.
It isn’t to hard, basically i took some usb game controllers (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Black-USB-Vibration-Shock-PC-Computer-Gamepad-Game-Controller-Joystick-Game-Pad-/280913585231?pt=AU_Video_Game_Accessories&hash=item4167c1244f) and attached arcade buttons to the contacts inside. I couldn’t find any good quality 10k pots or faders in Australia, so i ordered them off Element14.
Then for the case i tried to make it look like the old custom midi fighter, i took perspex, and sat there with a small saw and a set if micro flies for about five hours straight.
Software wise, on mac i used junxion, and when i had windows i used fergo midi joystick, although fergo seemed to crash alot.
Hope this helped you.
Hopefully this makes sense, but is the maschine connected at any way through the mixer? I didn’t really understand your comment about it being connected directly through the audio 4 (I mean, I get that), but how is the sound being routed? I guess, with a two channel mixer, is the final sound being re-routed through the mixer and then to the amp, or is the maschine/audio 4 connected directly to the amp and that way when the maschine is sending audio, it’s just going to the speakers instead of having some other gain control?
I am asking because I just purchased a maschine, and while I am more interested in it’s beat production capabilities, I would also find it fun to incorporate into my set up, which is very simply two Technics 1200’s and a Korg Zero 4 mixer with TSP2 with some control vinyl. I used the onboard efx since I don’t have any controllers - although I think there is a way to make the Korg send midi to control the efx banks in TSP, but I haven’t really figured out how to make that work yet, so I am very much in the stone ages I feel. Thanks.
Basically I had the maschine routed so that it came out both channels of the soundcard, and then a deck out of each. so nomatter which side the crossfader is on u can always use maschine and then just mix normally.
I have recently bought a four channel mixer though. so I just split the two channels into four and then just use an output for maschine. if that makes sense.
