I always like to admire other peoples set-ups so lets see them guys! i'll post mine up later tonight after i get off work. But for a spoiler I am currently mixing on a kontrol s4, novation launchpad, akai lpd8, and mbp 13"
This is where my kit lives most of the time, I more often than not use my laptop now though. Not the best picture, but I have had to stitch a couple of pictures together as I cant get far enough back to take a decent picture. . My Denon and Behringer setup
Here's my current set up... 2 x American Audio Radius 2000 (with a USB stick and an SD card in each) Behringer DJX750 mixer Alesis M1 Active Monitors CHeap American Audio headphones
as I already said... i just started djing XD Dj Tech i-mix controller Dj Tech soundbox soundcard Panasonic RPDJ600 Lenovo thinkpad T42 w 2 GB ram
Sorry that it is upside down i couldn't figure out how to flip it right side up on the post. But anyways i'm currently running traktor pro 2 on a mbp. Kontrol s4, kontrol x1, lpd8, and novation launchapd.
Here's me... I honestly still dream of owning an s4, x1 etc. but I think I'm home, this set up is all I think I will need for a long time. What's not in the pic is a stanton str8-60 - but I don't use that for DJing, only for listening to records at home - I'm a huge Jazz snob and Vinyl is the only way to go for home listening for me.
At the current moment: Before: I still have the Techs but concentrating on CDJs at the moment, Pictured: TSP, 2x CDJ1000 mk3s, Techs 1200mk2s, DJM700, Macbook, KRK Rokit 6's, Senn HD25 Adidas Editions, Kontrol X1.
I'd love to pick up a pair of CDJs because I enjoy using them, but it just doesn't make financial sense. All I'd use them for is running timecode into traktor, so essentially as a pair of insanely expensive jogwheels. Still, if I see a good price on a 1000 I'm always very tempted!
It totally makes sense what your saying here mate, there are controllers such as the S4 which is more than half the price and can do more through Traktor etc.. But I had the 1000's and 1200's before i purchased TSP and i still spin CDs and vinyl most hence why i have a CDJ/TT setup.
Is that your gig setup as well? And if it is, are the owners/promoters generally receptive of your controllers?
X1 S4 combo along with a 09 13" MBP (swapped the HD for a 500gb one and put 8gb of RAM) and HDJ2000 cans. Recently found a Marshall footpedal laying around so playing a bit with it before going out to buy an unlatched one. An Oxygen49 and iPad for production.
Yeah, that's my entire set up for gigs and for home - Like I said, it does everything I need it to and I don't really want to buy some turntables and/or cdjs just so promoters/owners will think highly of me. Plus I kinda love the ability to move and jump up and down with my controllers! I have shown up at gigs though where the promoter asked if these were toys and touched them cause he thought they weren't actually doing anything! But for the most part nobody minds - once I get started and the music starts going and the crowd starts moving they stop caring.
