Phew. Almost done.
Posted on: 14.06.2011 by Percy Keehan
I have finished saving up for all my stuff. Now there are only a few things to decide before I actually buy everything. First of all, here is a list of what I am purchasing for my setup:

-Numark Stealth Control
-2 Midi Fighter Classics
-Numark STEREO|iO
-Beats By Dr.Dre Pros
-JBL PRX618S-XLF Speaker Set

Seems like a pretty good setup to me. If there is a soundcard in the same price range as this one please tell me.

4 out = 4 x mono = 2 x stereo.

As FEP said, they boost certain frequencies to make EDM/Hip-Hop sound better. This is not what you want when they track you're cueing on the headphones sounds great, but when you mix it in, it sounds like crap on the PA.

Also the cans probably sound great on a ipod in a quiet room, but when you have a large PA cranking a completely different track, and you're trying to listen to another one in your headphones, you may have trouble hearing your cue properly without bursting your eardrums as the Dr Dre phones arent designed as DJ headphones, therefore mimimal isolation.

Just my two cents (actually, I probably can't talk as I use studio cans!)

Wasting money in the wrong places.
Chasidy Heckenbach
16.06.2011		or at least one mf'er for instant grat etc... i'd definately like to get one sometime.
Tatum Ansaldo
16.06.2011		2 MFs and a Nuo 2.0 would be sweet. Maybe even an X1 as well.
Kiyoko Wellisch
16.06.2011		I don't see why you'd get midifighters and a stealth control. They seem much more suited to a mixer to me.
Tatum Ansaldo
16.06.2011		He's going for 2 MFs lol.
Kiyoko Wellisch
16.06.2011		For 20 threads that's a surprisingly unpopular set up. You'd believe with so much community input he'd have a midifighter, xone mixer, kontrol x1, audio 2, those aiaiaiaiaaiaiai headphones, etc
Chasidy Heckenbach
16.06.2011		agreed on the method for choosing cans - i.e: from a boring geek who actually knows about sound and all....

to the OP you maybe want to stop creating so many similar threads tho? 20 new threads out of a total of 57 posts is slightly crazy

16.06.2011		Another point about the audio2 is that it has a more rugged build. While your sound card may not be bashed about much, it does look cooler :P

Note that the audio 2 has the same number of outputs as the io thingy. You could run 4 decks with 2 audio 2s. Or 2 ios, Or 1 io and 1 audio 2. Magic.

Beats by dre are shit. Never buy anything marketed by anyone cool.

16.06.2011		Stereo requires 2 outs per channel, so no, you can't externally mix 4 decks with an A2DJ (unless you go mono).

The A2DJ has 2 stereo outputs, the I/O has 4 RCA jacks, the possibilities remains the same.

15.06.2011		For the price your going to pay for the Beats headphones I would suggest HD25-II they are much better imo. Beats are produced by Monster who make those insanely priced HDMI and other cables. I can tell you now they are not concerned with giving there consumers the most for their money. Don't get me wrong the Beats are decent headphones but way overpriced for what you could get.

16.06.2011		You gotta be trollin. Every other day you're posting up another rediculous setup.
Tatum Ansaldo
15.06.2011		Pioneer and sennheiser make great DJ headphones. Beats make most EDM and pop music sound loud (and pretty good) because they boost the bass frequencies, but that's not helpful for mixing. You want an accurate representation of what the music actually sounds like.

And they'll break.

Beats by Dr. Dre Headphones don't cut it for DJing. For one thing, the cable doesn't lock in, but also they have no hinge built in for one ear monitoring. 'Beats Audio' or whatever magic they say they have essentially means they turned up the bass. Basically all the beats are good for is trying to look badass. Get some Sennheisers or Pioneers. You don't wanna look like Pauly D.


Also I googled that speaker set and it looks like it's just a pair of subwoofers... That's not going to do you any good.

beats.. they have hinges im preety sure.. i mean these:

what u believe im talking about is probably these:


on the contrary, thanks for the info bout the speakers. definitely gonna talk to the guy at guitar center bout what i should buy instead.
