Ozei's setup
Ozei's setup Posted on: 02.09.2013 by Arielle Goodling I started DJ'ing from scratch about two years ago. With nothing to play with, I bought Numark Mixtrack and Lexicon Alpha USB-interface. With Alpha hooked up to my JVC BoomBlaster and some cheap headset to my computer sound card, and Traktor LE loaded on my shi**y laptop, I was rockin... trainwrecking all over my one room apartment.My beloved Mixtrack Two different sound cards caused some troubles; first of all, the Alpha was really bad quality (volume knob didn't affect both stereo channels in the same way) and different sound cards drifted out of sync after a while (yea...). Big improvement was when I picked up a pair of monitors, Behringer B2030A Truths. For the price they are propably the best piece of studio speakers there are; clear sound with punchy bass. So then, last christmas, my girlfriend gave me NI Komplete Audio 6 and I was all like We also moved together and now we have this HUGE apartment and I got my own corner for all my stuff. Komplete Audio 6 & B2030A Truth Then, few months back, I bought Traktor Kontrol F1. I don't really use it for anything groundbreaking, mostly launch some complimentary loops and samples out of there. Neat piece of hardware and great build quality, though. My current stuff My corner in our apartment And yes, I am mostly a bedroom DJ. I have done a couple of "gigs" for local sports club, playing at their events (and it's been great for everyone), but really nothing that would have paid me some money. At the moment this is my beloved hobby, but maybe in the future... Speaking of future; I'm selling my Mixtrack (hurts a bit, though, it has served faithfully) and I'm waiting for my new gear to arrive... Not telling what, at least not yet But more controllerism, I promise Edit: Tried to fix the pics, derpbox is a new thing for me... Update 9/8/2013: New gear: Mixtrack sold. Got myself CMD MM-1 and X1 Mk2. Update 10/31/2013 Kontrol stands. (And yes, that's foam from Kontrol Stand package under the MM-1, kind of impromptu stand for it ) Gearlist Acer laptop Behringer CMD MM-1 Traktor Kontrol X1 Mk2 Traktor Kontrol F1 NI Komplete Audio 6 Behringer B2030A Truth's Sennheiser HD438 headphones (not the best there are, but good enough) Traktor Kontrol Case Magma KNTRL RMX case (for MM-1) 2x Traktor Kontrol Stand Millenium laptopstand (for occasional gig, if I happen to get any) | |

Arielle Goodling 31.10.2013 | Setup update! Kontrol stands! Very solid and fit perfectly (as expected ofc). They were on sale, it was that ~30€ a piece, so I believe it was a good deal Initial launch price (50€/pc) was a tad high, but the price drop won me over. And yes, that's packaging foam from Kontrol Stand box under the MM-1, kind of makeshift stand. Temporary solution, I hope; maybe it's time for some DIY when I happen to have spare time. |

Thomas Dresel 02.10.2013 | question: is the MM-1 and kontrol F1/X1 the same size?? i do realize the MM-1 is higher. the reason i'm asking is because i want to a DC-1 to my setup (Kontrol S2 + X1 MK2) and i want it to sit flush!!! |

Petra Arra 30.09.2013 | how does the behringer truth sound? i am contemplating on getting a used pair for 100$ a pc. |
Arielle Goodling 08.09.2013 | SETUP UPDATE Got my new gear! (Pics, so did happen) It's goodbye mixtrack, but now it has been replaced with CMD MM-1 for all mixing needs and X1 Mk2 for effects & transport. Almost needless to say, but I'm really satisfied with much greater feature set and increased mobility these units offer. Also got Traktor Kontrol case and Magma KNTRL RMX case. The latter is ment for Pioneer Rmx-1000 but is perfect for MM-1 too. |
Muoi Odonohoe 07.09.2013 | Nice and clean, I love it |

Latoria Kavulich 02.09.2013 | Welcome. Mate you need to fix your pics, with dropbox you need to post the image url, not the actual link. tags are correct but you need to choose the "copy public link" option |
