Kwal's Simple Setup, I Love It
Posted on: 20.06.2013 by Hellen Mindrup
Nothing too fancy here... I spin cd's, I do not run any type of Dj software at all on my Mac. I only use Audacity to record my mixes.

2x CDJ mk2s and a Xone 22


M-Audio Bx5 Monitors


House Parties



My CDJs with my buddies gear.. Sick setup here...


I'm looking to incorporate new things soon, at one point I'm going to get an X1 to make things interesting.

BTW, when you finish your booth, post it here so we can drool over it!
Will do man, I'll be back there this weekend and I won't hesitate to piece this thing together so I can use it asap

They have two sizes I believe.. The bigger ones came in a box of 4... They looked like they were about 6 inches long.

I might as well try them since they're only $12

I have a plan set up to add legs, but do the Capita's really hold up? I was skeptical about using them.

Hell yes! I plan on getting something to cover the back so I don't have to keep looking at all of those cables.. Also plan on building onto it.. Laptop stand and monitor stands are in the works.

Definitely like the setup. Great, simple starter kit.
My Xone has a send/return fx loop on it, so I run it in and out of that and it will work on whichever channel I select.

And thank you man

I love the thing personally, and the meter LED's are badass lol... I like to switch off between the two styles just for fun. I will hopefully get my Tweakalizer back from my buddy today.. I only had it running through one CDJ during testing, haven't tried through the fx loop yet... Once I give it a whirl I'll post back here and let you know how it went.

Dude, YES! I noticed that day 1

It's when you turn the filters on and off under the volume fader, right? That was such a buzzkill. Other than that I love the thing.. Warm EQ's, nice filters, unbelievable sound quality, etc. It's my first mixer and I knew I had to get quality. I like Pioneer, but I wanted to stand out with the Xone.. Haven't regretted it for a minute

Not bad for 70 bucks either.. Filter (high and low pass), flanger, delay, and you can even scratch with the platter but I'd really recommend not doing it lol. Sample recorder, etc. I need a few days of toying with it and then I'll make something for everyone to watch
