Max One's Set Up Evolution
Max One's Set Up Evolution Posted on: 03.07.2013 by Hipolito Scionti Alright folks, here it is! CURRENT SET UP (**UPDATE NOV 2013**): Technics 1200s / DJM 900 / X1 / X1 mk2 / Akai MPK Mini / KRK VXT4s / ZOOM H4N recorder / Sennheiser hd25 EVOLUTION OF MY SET UP Me at 19 yrs old in bedroom Had Final Scratch then Serato with Technicss 1210s and Pioneer DJM600 in between this and getting Traktor but never took pics. Sold 1210s cause id had em for years and they were pretty battered and got VCI-100. This was about 2009. I also then discovered DJTT. Got inspired to do arcade mod. Missed playing vinyl so got one deck. And brought out my old djm 600 Got Audio 10 with Traktor Scratch and DJM 800 Built Ikea DJ Booth and bought DJM 900 and extra bits (see top of thread) | |

| Hipolito Scionti 05.11.2013 | Added an Akai MPK Mini... weirdly started producing beats on Logic standing up (to get the main loop going) and prefer it to sitting... Anyway it's nice to have the keys there to jam when the mood takes me. Click link below to see updated first post with pics. http://community .djranking s.com/showthr...l=1#post633644 |
| Delfina Suedmeyer 25.10.2013 | nice setup. i was believeing about going with expedit as well but i needed a table where i can keep my desk chair since i do production on the same table. i currently have my monitors on the same stand as my laptop but am believeing about raising them like yours. anyway, good stuff! |

| Marcelina Hanaway 15.10.2013 | Looks great, Max! Quick question. The planks that the speakers sit on - did you cut those yourself, or does Ikea sell those? |
| Felipe Rasper 15.10.2013 | Amazing setup you got there! |
| Hipolito Scionti 14.10.2013 | **UPDATE OG POST** http://community .djranking s.com/showthr...l=1#post633644 PL-1 OUT X1 mkii IN |
| Hipolito Scionti 10.08.2013 | Just picked up an x1 mkii... its wicked pics to follow and probs gonna flog the Pl-1 if any one is interested |
| Hipolito Scionti 12.07.2013 | I got a metal NI kontrol stand for the x1 and I'm actually using one half of the x1 soft case for the pl-1. It's not ideal cause it sits on it, rather than in it but the height is pretty perfect |
| Merlin Werra 11.07.2013 | Nice setup! Just curious, what did you use as a stand for the Behringer CMD? |
| Irmgard Sandness 11.07.2013 | That setup looks amazing, dude.. nice job. |

| Brunilda Kora 11.07.2013 | That is a LOVELY set-up, mate! You could use some of this for your speaker shelves: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Melamine-S...item1c3406f9fe |
| Hipolito Scionti 11.07.2013 | So I basically followed this http://www.djranking s.com/2011/10/1...om-ikea-parts/ The only thing you can't get from ikea is the longer bolts needed to attach the laptop shelf to the the expedit. You need to go to a hardware store or buy online. This is a quote from the thread: "You will need two long metric bolts and large washers for the capita brackets. These are the exact bolts I used from Lowes: http://www.lowes.com/pd_214487-37672...RL=&facetInfo= M10-1.50 x 75" Have a proper look thru the whole thread before attempting http://community .djranking s.com/showthread.php?t=36997 |
| Laurinda Benya 10.07.2013 | I'm digging the ikea expedit diy. Which parts did you use for the laptop surface and speaker surfaces, including the metal legs? |

| Ashlyn Gaulrapp 08.07.2013 | Awesome set up! I always like when people have clean desk space and not too much wire mess And I really like how the white EXPIDIT looks, it would also look good with white monitors Great job putting it together! |

I was actually tearing my hear our doing it too tbh my missus was like "oh yeah i remember when you did that and you were shouting 'fuuuuu***%^%kkkk" Initial impression of the PL-1 are very good. I really like having jogs and a real mixer. I haven't tweaked the mapping yet or tried Stewe's which looks v cool but build wise it's decent. Not 100 % sure how comfortable i'm using just one PL-1 and swapping decks so might get another.. or if the X1 mkii is real, maybe swap it out for a couple of those... dunno yet. I mean am perfectly comfortable just using the x1 on its own but wanted something for my mates to play on too, if they havent got TSP2 just TP2. I need to use it for a bit and give it a real chance. i couldn't loose the x1 cause the browsing on it is good and I just love it tbh. I'm loving the DJM900, sound quality is awesome and i just do like the feel of it and the Traktor Cert-ness of it and the FX, though a little heavy handed, i do like. Post fader echo is still my fave and even though you can do it on traktor int the djm just feels better than my s2 or even the z1 imo. And the filters, although not as "warm" as Xone still sound better than traktor's int to me... though i have those mapped to my X1 to for filter variety anyway Glad I got an ebay bargain too. But yeah i must say im finally pretty satisfied RGAS wise... which is nice. Though I do still want maschine and komplete 9 hahah |
| Dia Laryea 03.07.2013 | Holy crap man, that's my dream setup you have there. A pair of 1200's, the DJM-900, KRK's, Ikea Exepedit filled with nice Vinyl, damn. Respect |
| Marcelina Hanaway 03.07.2013 | WOW! Beautiful setup, Max. |
| nayit ruiz jaramillo 03.07.2013 | I love this thread. I remember that old pic of you from some years back. I also remember you modding your VCI cus you were trying to convince me to do the same but I would have soldered my eye to a jogwheel or worse. You did a great job. How you liking the PL-1..? I like it. I want another to go with the MM1 to make a Behringer S4 |
| Nevada Edgette 03.07.2013 | Nice setup! Quality pics you got there |
| Kellie Myrum 03.07.2013 | Max setup bro! |
