My loft setup

My loft setup
Posted on: 02.04.2012 by Caleb Demillo
Here's some pictures of my setup in my loft, which I call "bluedoor" (since all the doors in the building are a very bright blue, why not? Secret lounge.).

The lighting came about over time. The initial idea was that the LED lighting could also be used for accent lighting. It expanded from there...

All lights and visuals are controllable via an iPad, which triggers cues and scenes in ShowCad Artist and Modul8.

- NI Traktor Scratch Pro 2.0
- 2 NI Kontrol X1 controllers

Lighting:
- ShowCad Artist 3 DMX Console
- 8 Chauvet Colorband Tri LED strips
- 4 Chauvet Q-Spot 260 moving heads
- 3 Chauvet Colorstrip Mini LED strips
- 1 Chauvet Colorband Tri LED strip
- 2 Chauvet LED Shadow black lights
- 1 Chauvet Impulse 648 Strobe
- Chauvet GBC green/blue laser
- Chauvet Hurricane 1100 Fog Machine

Visuals:
- Modul8 Visualization Software
- Epson 8700UB Projector

- Apple iPad
- Liine Lemur App

- Apple Logic Pro 9

I have a maschine Only use it for production though. I'll see how much I use the F1 I guess! I thought about using my little keyboard stand with a table top, which would hold whatever I need temporarily and stow away after.

True. I already have Deck Savers. I just like my 1200's uncovered.

Or you could just get a pair of covers for the TT's and put controllers on top of them whenever they're not in use... There's always gonna be compromises

Awesome set up btw! Congrats!

Hmm, perhaps. I could just shift the right X1 to the left and stick the F1 in its place. It's not like I need THAT much control, I only have so many hands and play house music!

I'd hate to ruin the overall beauty of your setup, but maybe you could add a small angled extension on the laptop stand? The F1's orientation would be sideways... but its just a thought.

I wonder if the Traktor F1 will fit here. Kind of difficult to use it under the laptop. I could shift around the controllers a bit.

That is one thing about the booth, it is slightly restrictive being custom made. The 1200's aren't going anywhere, and the CDJ's stands have already held CDJ-1000's and 2000's, and whatever will come, the laptop has been upgraded once. But I do wish there was a tad more space for controllers.

And then there's the mixer... which I love... and it's a good thing because I can't just drop in a tabletop mixer at random

It's a little bit of a process. But most of it's on insteon and remote.

Holy jeebus! Your rig is insane, and your pad is pretty swanky too! I hope you like exposure because there is no way DJTT doesn't feature your setup on their front page blog.
