WarpNote DJ setup

WarpNote DJ setup

Went to IKEA yesterday, finally have room for most bits:

  • Serato Scratch Live + Ableton = The Bridge, on a “Penryn” MacBook Pro 15"
  • APC 20, controlling the Bridge
  • 2x Technics 1210Mk2
  • 2x Pioneer CDJ1000MK3
  • Rane Sixty Eight
  • Dell Mini 10V Hackintosh running the effect loop into Ableton back to the Rane mixer USB 5 insert.
    (Enables post fader VST for fx any source on the mixer)
  • Novation Dicers (not connected to the mbp at the time of shooting, I need a new USB hub)
  • Traktor X1 (been playing around with Traktor lately…) (not connected to the mbp at the time of shooting, I need a new USB hub)
  • Denon HC1000s (not connected to the mbp at the time of shooting, I need a new USB hub)



Things to add:

  • USB hub.
  • Make room for an external display for Mix Emergency video output.
  • Make room for Akai MPD 24.
  • Make room for KRK ROKIT 6 monitors.

History: (Will try to look for some long lost images…)

In the 90’s
Tech 1210 (same decks I own today).
crappy numark 3 channel mixer
regular vinyl.

In the 00’s
XP computer running Scratch Live on the SL1 box,
MPD 24,
upgraded the mixer for a Pioneer DJM-600,
HC1000s,
Switched computer for a Macbook Pro, still running it,
Dell mini 10v hackintosh as a backup.

2011
Upgraded the mixer for the Rane Sixty Eight,
Pio CDJ1000mk3,
DJM400 as a backup mixer,
SL4 for use in the club,
Ableton Live + APC20,
Inklen Mix Emergency.

nice set up

Wow nice gear and nice history! Love those Sixty Eights..

Nice gear and i love you have set it up!

Nice setup, loving the possibility of post fader vst effects!

Love that setup, the 68 is such a great mixer. Do you take some kind of controller out with you to fulfil the function of the midi controls on the 68? Cue points etc?

i love the setup!!! very nice!

Sick set up! Great combo of classic and digital

I use the Dicers at home in addition to the 68. If I bring the 68 to a club,
I’ll leave the other midi controllers at home. The 68 has me well covered.
Look at it this way: Dicers have very smooth action, great for “bashing”,
but the 68 has better placement of the cuepoint buttons IMO.

However, a lot of my venues have permanent install mixers,
in those cases I either bring the Denon HC1000s or the Dicers with the SL4.
Mostly use the HC1000s out though, less cables, quicker setup, more native functions in SSL.

I don’t use ableton/the bridge while playing out, …yet.

Which Ikea bits did you get?

Hey just wondering what you are using the second laptop for?

i’ve a question, could you replace the TT with the CDJ’s or is it bad for TT to stand like that?

Great setup. I am starting to build up on mine.
