I’m a sucker for new gear, so my dream set changes week by week and I don’t think I’ll ever be satisified! Currently I’m after an APC20/40 and a full version of Ableton, would love a midifighter… the list continues.
Macbook Pro 15"
2 X Pioneer CDJ 2000’s
Pioneer DJM 800
NI Maschine
Trigger Finger: Already Own this
Akai APC40: Waiting for this to come in from back order
Would also like for just toys:
Monome
Lemur
and more!
AND a teenage engineering OP-1.
My dream-setup is basically what I have right now; perhaps change the ol’ MBP into a new one with SSD and include another MBA with a Audio DJ2. But that would simply be the icying.
Well already loving my setup now:
MacBook Pro 15" (With Traktor and Ableton)
Audio4DJ
Behringer BCR2000
MIDIfighter
Reloop RMX30 Blackfire Edition
AKG K242HD
But I would love to have a Native Instruments Kontrol S4 and Pioneer HDJS500 next to it.
(Reality will most probably send me selling the BCR2000, Audio4DJ and Reloop RMX30 to get some nice cash to buy an S4)
I think a NI X1 would round out my ideal rig of vinyl timecode with Traktor Scratch Pro. Wouldn’t mind either the Mono 365 or the Kondensor bag to haul to gigs. Actually, I could also really use some road cases and a hand cart.
Actually, I’d LOVE a good v-drum kit. That would be ideal. GOD I WANT ONE.
Hmm quite a few interesting setups there.. Me def wouldnt mind! Damn thats one lucky fucker!
Short and sweet.. Cudo’s on the S4 dude, i wish.. ![]()
Dude you have quite a sweet setup already! I wouldnt mind having half of your shit ha ha.. I’ve got a long way to go, but so far with my current set up I’ve been doing fine minus the X1 though, really wish i had that.
Its always like that man, when we dream we want it all, but the reality is you gotta lose some to win some. ![]()
Dj duo
ok me and my best friend are planing ong moving in together, some people spend cash on school, were puting all ours into gear. So far I have:
2x technics 1210m5g

We both wana work on getting good desktops, studio moniters, we wana use ableton, what programs should I use with ableton so far I think I want massive. We want an apc40 I kinda want a monome, but I know u can map an apc40 for mlr. The goal is to produce a variety of music from down tempo to drum and bass and dubstep house, fidget.. We both love electronic music and have different favorite kinds. Anyone have suggestions. Oh a MIDI/synth, ive been thinking x station. Would it be a good idea to get some sort of multi channle sound board? Any programs for mastering? Thanks for all advice…
To all aspiring dj’s… I was guna go to school still prolly will, but im 21 moved to mammoth lakes from so cal and work at a restraunt at night and snowboard every day. U dont need to be a millionare to get what u want. between the two of us we will spend 15k on gear when its all said and done, plus money to promote ourselves and tour. But fuck it, what else are we guna spend our money on other than weed and booze and acid hahah.. maybe some led gloves and poi. Ne ways point being, take the necessary steps to live ur dream, fuck the money, id way rather have that gear than a savings!
Oh yeah we were drunk last night and came up.with the name dj dtf and the pork swords.. Lol I dunno if it will stick.
I’m sorry but that is just outrageously stupid.
Just got my 15" MBP i7 today and will be getting my s4 preorder hopefully next week so the only things left are:
(2) 1200s
Rane 68
APC40
Ableton Suite 8
X1
Maschine
Komplete
T-Racks
As much as I love my VCI 100 I would like to try something a little bigger (that’s what she siad) like a CDJ but as of yet I don’t know what they are like so don’t know whether I’d like to use them or not.
Would definitely love a dedicated effects controller like the X1 and a drum machine though!
EDIT: Oh and an Audio8DJ ![]()
Replace the Sony headphones (had a pair…they’re ok) with custom IEMs, and I’m done. Oh, and the Mac needs to be a current model, though as long as it has FW to run the interface, I don’t really care which one.
Though, what I have now is pretty close:
(the CDJ-200s are sitting in a box somewhere…couldn’t sell them because one has a Serato sticker on it…apparently that’s a deal breaker for some people.)
CDJ’s are sweet man! I love mixing with my timecode cd’s. It reminds me of when I used to mix only with cd’s before Traktor, its just a bit easier now. You should def try to mix on CDJ’s just with cd’s, and then try timecode, its awesome. Mixing with timecode and having an X1 hooked up is even better!
Isn’t that Sasha’s custom controller? =)

Technics 1210s x2
CDJ-2000s x2

Might end up looking something like that:

As far as studio gear goes, i don’t even want to get started…
New laptop, most likely of apple make.
A&H xone 22 (getting it in a few weeks)
Maschine (waiting on delivery)
2x kontrol x1’s (no idea when)
New monitor speakers (mine are ancient and starting to die)
Live speakers (for any small time gigs)
It was. Something caused it to die a few years ago, and because he spent so damn much money on it (on the order of 10,000GBP) he didn’t feel like replacing it. He used some other stuff for a bit and then switched back to CDs.
I just love the layout of the thing. There’s not a LOT more that I’d want to do, even though the VCM actually has a few more controls…it just doesn’t have a built-in audio interface and it’s fitting along with this stupid horizontal format thing people have been doing lately that I just personally don’t like (aesthetically).
Wasn’t there talk of these becoming commercially available for a while?
There was. At this point, I’m sure it won’t happen. The VCM-600 is as close as we’re going to get. And, imho, it’s really freaking good.
