Finally got my setup and booth finished. Posted on: 21.12.2012 by Margaretta Hebenstreit Hey guysfinally finished my booth and setup, so here you have it, from start to end: started with an x1, audio 2 an some crappy wesc-headphones: really had fun djing, decided to upgrade to an s4: (speakers until then were some old ones from sony which i had for like 10 years) got some hd 25s for christmas and bought some solid monitors and a midifighter pro (which i thought was awesome, but it really wasn't for what i was doing): played around with this setup for a couple of months, decided that i wanted to keep going and buy some solid stuff which would last me for years. watched videos of richie hawtin and chris liebing and discovered trevor nygaard on youtube and decided to go for a modular setup with a standalone mixer. got myslef a xone:92 (best buy everrr!, worth every cent!) and a 2nd x1: (pic fresh out the box, thats why nothing's connected) bought a 2nd hand maschine and built a custom dj-booth with ikea parts. Allen & Heath xone:92 2x Traktor Kontrol X1 Traktor Audio 10 NI Maschine Traktor Pro 2.6 Macbook Pro 15" 2x KRK Rokit 5s (sorry about the pictures being flipped, couldn't manage to upload them correctly somehow...) UPDATE: added some tech 1210s to my setup some time ago, they are mainly used to play vinyl, can't really integrate timecode into my style of mixing. so i either play vinyl only or with traktor controlled by the X1s. current setup: Allen & Heath xone:92 2x Traktor Kontrol X1 Traktor Audio 10 NI Maschine 2x Technics 1210 mk II Traktor Pro 2.6 Macbook Pro 15" 2x KRK Rokit 5s Foto 1.jpg setup2.jpg Foto 3.jpg still trying to sell the MF Pro btw, so if you're interested, just pm me. also, check out my latest mix if you like: https://soundcloud.com/v_olpe/volpe-deephouse-promo-mix-2013 ps: sorry, i'm really too stupid to resize the pictures, would be nice if some mod could do that for me... | |

And the xone filters sound much nicer. Id go for a xone 92 over any pioneer mixer anytime! |

| Candy Vardy 18.06.2013 | Love your set up mate. You've got something which I'm working on doing. I have the turntables and X1. All I want to do now is get the mixer. I'm stuck between the Xone 92 or a DJM850. I can't decide yet, I'm waiting to see or hear something that would sway me in either direction. I'm used to Pioneer gear as its the mixer of choice in most of the venues I play at, but the 92, mmmmmmmm And then most of the top techno/deep DJs all use a 92 as well... Ai decisions..... |

| Doreen Schurle 19.02.2013 | Looks good But how do you mix without jogwheels, if you don't mind me asking? |
| Raelene Laurino 19.02.2013 | Very clean, looks good! |
| Adrienne Wilcoxen 16.02.2013 | Amazing set up! What are your thoughts on the 92? I've heard nothing but great things. |

| Margaretta Hebenstreit 23.12.2012 | Actually im not that much into tts, i dont know how they could fit into my style of mixing (lots of loops and layering tracks) and the mk2 will probably be added if the prices drop |
| Rosario Whitington 23.12.2012 | You got 'one' of my dream setups)) the only thing you need now, is 2x technics 1210 and ofc. the maschine mk2 |
| Random X 23.12.2012 | Nice history and setup! |
| Elmer Kindinger 23.12.2012 | I love the fact that I'm not the only one with two different coloured X1s! |

| Margaretta Hebenstreit 22.12.2012 | Yeah that totally works, and you can always add a 2nd. |
| Mira Sabia 22.12.2012 | love the 92 |
| Corey Ganer 22.12.2012 | ok, thanks. I am asking because I was believeing of trying the X1 & mixer setup, but only for 2 decks. |
