[RS002] Restricted Sessions Studio 2 - tekki
Posted on: 02.11.2011 by Random X
Before this MIDI DJing became a part of my live, I just used to carry my BCR around, like it was only my business.

It wasn't until this little beauty of a MIDIfighter was made possible I decided to up my game.


I decided to redo my square meter by building this DIY desk. On which I could place my MacBookPro, Audio4DJ, BCR2000 and MIDIfighter.


While practicing more and more, I started to land some gigs, so I needed a bag in which I could carry my gear.
A little bit of modding offered me a great bag with more than enough room to even add some additional items as well.


At that time I also had the pleasure of finally getting to grips with the S4. This controller was so much more than the blueprint I had seen more than a year earlier on. This was something I had to get eventually:


But that would mean I would have to get rid of this stuff first....


I first decided to upgrade my square meter, IKEA-hacks AWAAAAAAY!!!!



Heyyyyy, isn't this picture familiar?!

(And yes, that is my daughter Riley's first pink laptop in the upper left corner)

This was the eventual result. (picture was taken during my recording of the 2nd Techno/TechHouse Mix train, which was finished first.


While doing a review for a dutch DJ webshop, called tonecontrol.nl, I fell in love with the sound of the Pioneer HDJ-500. So I decided to keep the review copy.


And guess what arrived beginning of this year, with compliments of Ean Golden himself:

(Still paying off on that one. )

With this we also heard two other things, one we were expecting our second daughter, two we had sold the apartment.
This last one meant that I would finally get me some more MIDIspace.

This means that I am back to square one. Just finished building the production desk with the aid of IKEA before we had our second daughter.



When things mellow out I will start building a decent DJ booth. Just be sure to check back when the updates have taken place.

Nope, I'm keeping and cherishing mine.

Am I bidding on your MC-303 on Marktplaats?

What's your reason for not going straight from the S4 TRS outputs into your monitor speakers? Do you like to insert additional sound sources, is it the mixer's EQ or FX or is it more kind of "now that I already got this mixer why not to use it"?'
Random X
02.02.2013
True.

It's the final stage for getting the signal from the soundcard, in most cases Kontrol S4, to the monitors.

Nice setup!
I assume the little knobs device is a small mixer?
Random X
02.02.2013
Nope, the Dimple was a gift.
Corey Ganer
01.02.2013
So you bought a Dimple?
Random X
31.01.2013
I just did.



I'm even in the process of hanging back the old xBox neon sign!

I do not always DJ in my attic studio...



But when I do...
Random X
02.11.2012
Yeah, it's such an ace thing!

I found one rather cheap, to complement my DJ setup using it as a step sequenced drumcomputer, truth is, I liked the other sounds that much, I want to hook a MIDI keyboard and use it for my productions!

Got my eye on this beauty:

Up till this time no complete shot of the production studio. I do have separate pictures of:

The view


Roland MC-303


Mackie MR-5


Behringer BCR2000





And yeah, just because I can't get enough:

The Kontrol S4 and HDJ2000 in a stylish shot


The same goes for the MIDIfighter

It seems my pictures have gone haywire since I dropped my old website domain.

Here's the gig setup:



It shows:
  • MacBook Pro
  • Reloop RMX-30 Blackfire Edition
  • Pioneer HDJ2000
  • Native Instruments Kontrol S4
  • DJTT MIDIfighter, designed by midifidler!

Yeah, I've bought it around €100,- but the sounds are authentic enough.
Sylvia Greener
20.08.2012
Sounds cool!
Even if it's been cheap as chips it's nice to have a drum machine in my opinion. I own a Maschine which is super dope but sometimes I miss some stand-alone functionality.
And the same here: Still much stuff to learn about Maschine so that it's not yet been in use in a DJ set.
Random X
21.08.2012
Thanks!

The drum machine is a Roland MC-303. It's cheap as chips, and features sounds of the legendary TR-606, TR-808, TR-909 and the TB-303.
Even though it's supposed to be a ROMpler, it is fun to work with.

When I am in full control of it, and I can tell it how and what it is supposed to do, I will incorporate it into my DJ sets like many nowadays use Maschine or how Jeff Mills uses his TR-909.
Until that moment I intend to use it as a drum computer for my productions.
Sylvia Greener
20.08.2012
Nice shots!
I was just wondering if you already mentionned the name of your little drum machine on your desk in the lower right corner?
Are you using it for your DJ sets or just for production and is it a good choice?
Random X
20.08.2012
Will you look at that.... Capita!





These will fit nicely to the Ekby Amund:



Pre- Drilling for the last Capitas.



Here's the result for the time being. Let's get back to the sun!


I will post better quality pictures when I'm done.

Sorry for the late answer, used it to monitor the recording in Audacity. (Screen was hooked up to the desktop PC on the left)

Where do you use the second display for?
Random X
27.07.2012
Both, preferably!

Up until this point it has proven it's value.
Latoria Kavulich
26.07.2012
So the padding at the back, is it for acoustics or to protect the wall from excessive headbanging?

Thanks bruv', serious tunage means serious desks, right?
