| Sina Haggans 15.06.2013 | Currently own a late 2008 Macbook Pro, Xone K2, Kontrol X1, and TMA-1. Realistically right now I would love a retina macbook pro and a Maschine MK2. Dream setup: Xone 92 Audio 8 2x Xone K2 Maschine MK2 |
| Loralee Erban 15.06.2013 | I already own my dream setup. I have 2 controllers mapped how I want to use them to get the must fun out of my music. A reloop digital jockey 2 mapped to do everything including basic jog effects and then a midi fighter spectra for remix decks, cue points, basic navigation, button combo fx and also to display some bad ass lights! For me its not about the amount of different controllers I can purchase as before I bought my reloop (second hand) I was having just as much fun on a numark omni control (also second hand) but I would like to thank the people that NEED all that latest gear all the time as it means the second hand market is always flooded with 6 month old (basically new) well looked after controllers for half the price |

I thought the DB4 but would be the best thing since sliced bread when it arrived, it isn't - and its not something I've come across in clubs either, so anything I learnt or mastered on that mixer would be wasted in my weekly sets. For my dream set-up, I have everything I need - when I see a new piece of kit that I really like, I get it, I believe as an artist you deserve to treat yourself. So for anyone who doesn't have what they list - go get it, you've earnt it! |
| Rodolfo Oriol 14.06.2013 | - 2x Akai LPD8 - Traktor S4 - 2x Macbook Pro |
| Doreen Schurle 14.06.2013 | I'm currently two purchases away from having my dream setup. 2x Reloop Contour 2x Kontrol F1 1x Traktor Z1 Just need the Z1 and another F1, and I'm sorted. |
| Lannie Kutay 14.06.2013 | Ok sooo... 3 - CDJ 2000 Nexus 1 - DJM 2000 Nexus 1 - Maschine Running Into One of the channels 1 - RMX 1000 on send and return 1 - Fender Rhodes 72 With Orig. Cabinet Mic'd Running Through Ableton 1 - Jupiter 80 Synth Running Into Ableton 1 - 67' Fender American Jazz bass My current guitar Gadow Custom Guitar Running into a Vintage Blackface, Mic'd Running back into ableton 1 - Keith McMillan Softstep to control EFX in ableton for the guitars and synth. I try do do it live as much as possible ooohhhhhhh!!!! If i only had the money!!! |
| Rena Estabrook 15.06.2013 | Pretty happy with 1200s and a Rane 62. I wouldn't mind having a Denon MC6000 w/ Serato SL2 mapped for mobile gigs that doesn't require serious mixing. |
| Cira Ditz 14.06.2013 | Sadly I pretty much had my dream setup (for about 3 weeks) but sadly the festival I was putting on had a shortfall of about 300 people and I lost thousands and had to sell *everything* (apart from my old Numark omni and traktor laptop) was RMX1000, CDJ2000, CDJ2000Nexus, DJM 2000 my plan was to carry on saving for a 2nd CDJ2000Nexus and then I'd have 3 2000's one of which was still a Mk1 so I'd keep familiar with them for club work. So, I've decided if I have to start all over again, am gonna get the gorgeous White Pio gear. Yesterday put down a deposit on a White XDJ-AERO to start rebuilding again (gonna be my main for foresable until I can get back on my feet) and means I've also something portable for events where gear is an issue (I did lug my CDJs and the DJM 2000 to one gig and it was quite an upheaval. Sounded amazing though !!!). Ummed and ahhed about the R1 for days but feel if I'm gonna get higher end gear later on, having the AERO makes more sense for being more portable, plus I liked how the Traktor TSI was mapped for if/when want to use that. So am hoping to save again and get the white RMX1000, and then look out for the DJM 900Nexus/CDJ2000's limited that were in white. BUT, as this is a dream setup, I'm hoping they do a white DJM 2000Nexus/CDJ2000Nexus release at some point as I really loved those when had them in black. Incredible gear and miss it every evening when I get home from work :/ |
| Mikki Retana 14.06.2013 | I was finally able to buy my dream setup last week: -CDJ-2000 Nexus -CDJ 2000-Nexus -DJM-900 Nexus I also have an F1, MidiFighter Spectra and Maschine. I was debating if the DB4 or DJM2000 were worth it, but I just had to set a limit for myself. I am in love. Great Kit. |
| Macie Mcgorty 14.06.2013 | Id go with Pioneer DJM-750 2 midi fighter spectras 2 cdj-2000 a circuit bent speak and spell and my launchpad controlling grand vj while its hooked up to two projectors Flying Lotus style. Heres the Flying Lotus visualization im recreating |
| Leanora Gerald 14.06.2013 | I would say - A&H DB4 - 2x reloop countour (or equivalent) - 2x Kontrol F1 But also the DDJ SX will do. |
| Fannie Ohayre 12.06.2013 | A&H Xone: DB2 A pair of Stanton ST-150s Serato SL2 |
| Maranda Cowels 12.06.2013 | There's a lot to drool over here.... The RMX1000 seems very popular, and I understand why. My dream.... Top end laptop, with a backlit keyboard, probs a Lenovo, ASUS or MSI one (Although I have got my eye on this badboy atm, not the greatest processor, but 17" screen at 1920*1080 with 8GBs of RAM? Gotta have it. ) Also a laptop stand. Controller? I guess a Denon MC600, although I hope to get the MC3000 soon, so I may update this choice once I evaluated Denon products a bit more... I would love to get something I can put chroma caps on, but .... An RMX1000, taking my master output in and outing to the PA, because, yeah.... Awesome. WITH a stand, of course. Some kickass cans, but can't decide what yet. Any suggestions? They need to be durable, and with clear crisp sound. My software of choice is VDJ, (don't hate me). I like VDJ due to a) 1 time payment, and that's it, b) VST support c) VDJ-script, which is great for configuring, well, everything. What do I dislike? Well, the stigma is one thing, and the fact that you can't make the browser any bigger, and the text is MASSIVE in anything but 1280*1024. I am currently giving ONE a go... Will be great if they can work out the bugs and glitches. I believe that's about it, besides a Midi Fighter Spectra. Well, there are cases for everything, I like the look of the MAGMA CTRL cases. And that's it. Besides cables. And minions. And "DJ" Pauly D's swag, because damn, HE is the role model for aspiring DJs. Malyatrax, out. |
| Denyse Waterland 12.06.2013 | Not far off tbh, upgrade my cdj800mk2's for cdj2000's My xone 62 for a djm900 keep my 1210mk2's and my hd25s. actually I'd love maschine, and better monitors |

| Sherlyn Wolver 12.06.2013 | 2 Technics 1200's Pioneer CDJ's on CDJ mounts over my turntables Mixer, Needles, speakers and headphones is whatevers, |
| Jamila Citino 12.06.2013 | 15" MBP (I run a 13" now and the screen is ever so slightly too small) Denon SC3900 - I miss the vinyl feel Traktor Kontrol Z2 |
| Dorie Scelzo 18.04.2013 | I'm kind of strictly a hobbyist. My life is moving further and further away from being able to make DJing even a passing carreer, and this setup takes that into account. realistic "dream" DJ Setup: DDJ-SX 13" MBP 2x KRK Rokit RP5s 1x KRK Rokit RP10s 1x Lava Lamp 1x "lightning" lamp A nice table. All I need is the sub and speaker stands. I can turn on stuff and play at a moment's notice, and my music is easily sync'd with new purchases made on my desktop with some shell scripts and then managed with iTunes (the new version really sucks, but it performs that funciton okay). Really, the DDJ-SX is everything I need. There's a lot of stuff on it that I don't use. The sad things is that I own 2 1200s that just aren't getting use because I don't have the room for them or the budget to buy vinyl. I also own SSL, and really...it's just not worth the effort at this point in my life. This setup is fun enough. |
| Tamela Batara 18.04.2013 | Allen & Heath DB4 (Own) Technics 1210 (x2) (Own x 4) Pioneer CDJ 2000 Nexus (next on the shopping list, depending on 900 Nexus spec) Allen & Heath K2 (Don't own yet, own Reloop Contour) Pioneer RMX1000 (still to buy) Sennheiser HD25's (Own) + Allen & Heath XD2-53's (Own) For Monitors, I guess the Pioneer SDJ08's would be the dream monitors ATM, but would be happy with KRK's. I suppose a MBP would be okay too, except I hate Apple, so probably just go for a top spec laptop. |
| Random X 18.04.2013 | Ah, LoLz... How could I have forgotten that. |
