Whats your IDEAL setup

A man after my own heart. It’s not about the toys, but the content you make with it.

At the end of the day, yes.

That said he equipment is a hell of a lot of fun and there’s no point doing something if you don’t enjoy the process to its fullest potential.

The results are what matter to everyone else, the end result is not all that matters to me and if I’m going to invest my free time in a hobby I want to enjoy the process and everything that goes along with it.

Gear is awesome, my wallet is jealous of people satisfied with the bare essentials. :wink:

DJ setup would be, either 2 cdj2000’s and a nice mixer playing with usb.

Production setup would be: high end windows desktop with 2 widescreens operating FL studio, and nice 61 keys keyboard and good pair of monitors, I am set.

2 x STR8-150s (which I have already)
Shure M44-7s (which I have)
A nice high end scratch mixer, maybe a Rane or a Rodec (currently have a beaten up old Hak 310)
Some decent headphones
Records (which I have, but not enough of them!)

And if a DVS existed that was absolutely rock solid, had the features I want, and performed exactly like vinyl, I’d add that and a small controller (for cue points, loops etc.) to the list too, along with an Ultrabook.

dont get me wrong, i buy vinyl & serato timecodes like a mad man

I wish I’d bought the 92R I had my eye on to replace my 62. I’d maybe like to change the 1000 Mk3’s to 2000’s. Other than that, I’m more than happy with mine.

/me reminds himself to buy a new stylus, because one is bent.

Fucking this:

And the laptop is… suspended from the ceiling… or something… idfk.

• 3 CDJ 2000’s
• 3 Technics SL-1200GLD
• 1 DJM 900
• 1 Urei 1620 (fully restored)
• 8 QSC KLA 181’s and 8 KLA12’s
• 1 Sound tech to help me find the best DSP money can buy.

Maschine with a pair of Xone K2.

i´ll add this 42" touch thingy to my dream setup-list :wink:

3 X CDJ 900’s into a DB4,
My two 1210 mk2’s into a rane 62 w/ my soon to be custom dicers
an SL3 for playing out.

8gb i7 Mac Pro w/ twin 27" displays
Komplete,
Korg reto synth series (cant remember name) w/ ms-20 controller
akai mpk49
Piano Lessons.

My desire is changing too much to spend money.

I think right now I want to DJ:
S4
2x F1
later I would like to add DVS so used Technics (I miss them)
already have a midifighter

Production:
Ableton
APC 40
Akai 64 key with some bells and whistles
Maschine

I flip flop frequently on dj gear, so am sticking to my current rig, until I’m ready to commit to remix decks I’m staying at traktor pro 1.x, the sample decks didn’t look appealing enough, the remix decks do, but I never early adopt unless forced too. If I got the desire to play out, I would probably move to a CDJ mixer set up to make it easier to practice at home on similar set up to the club, dragging extra junk around is really not appealing. Production I’m saving towards that kit now, I think it will be just enough that by the time I want something else, I will be working around the gear to do what new kit would.

2cdj 2000, 2 1200’s and a db4 in an ideal world where vinyl is as cheap as mp3s

A man after my own heart.

The weird thing is that scaling back my ridiculous “dream setup” isn’t hard.

Move everything in the box and buy a Maschine
use your interface pres (the only reason for the ones I chose was because they’re not transparent)
replace the ns-10s with computer speakers and drop the main monitors
switch the interface for a Duet 2 or track16
and the only things that are missing are the Les Paul (already own the Legacy) and a control surface.

…which is basically what I have now (with a much cheaper interface)……it’s easier to use and fits in a shoulder bag. It’s just less fun to constantly dick around with a mouse than it would be with real knobs.

And compared to what half-decent mixers cost…a single Artist Mix really isn’t that bad.

What is this 42" sorcery you speak of? Do you have any videos of this beast in action?

there you go: touch controller

WOW, that is the future of DJ’ing right there!! :smiley:

fixed

nope. you might be the only one with no sense of humor :stuck_out_tongue:
