Why my external harddrive backup apps have any effect on the audio I have no idea. I've also run into a problem with the Envy in both Win 7 and 8 where having the HP Coolsense app active can cause major audio problems all the way up to a total sytem freeze up. luckily all I have to do is turn it off to avoid this, but troubleshooting has been a bit of a evening mare because there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to which programs cause conflicts. I'm considering partitioning my hd to just dual boot with a stripped down setup, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. |

| Rochel Papillion 18.03.2013 | are you using your hp envy with win 8 or 7? It seems like there will not be a ati driver update for 8. |
| Irina Passarella 05.02.2013 | Rockin some CDJs now? I'd though you'd be against them especially Pioneers? LOL .. Well your setup is looking mighty fresh \mn/ |

| Tatum Ansaldo 06.01.2013 | My understanding from talking to NI people at BPM was that there is literally one dude at NI HQ who's in charge of HID implementation and he does all the coding himself, hence why it takes them forever to do anything. |

| Arielle Posso 04.01.2013 | Your setup is dope... it has every piece of tech that I want... damn i believe i have gear envy. Sorry bout that |
| Valeri Millstein 03.01.2013 | What lights are those under your desk? Me like. |
| Gigi Weese 03.01.2013 | Great setup, does the 850 also have HID control? I know the 900 and 2000 have but I have not played with the 850 before. |
| Judi Sissel 31.12.2012 | That must of been one nice payout. Great new setup btw! |
| Werner Bile 31.12.2012 | Made some major changes over the last month. A stock I own paid out a nice dividend in time for the holidays, so I gave myself a couple presents. 2 x CDJ-850 2 x Traktor Kontrol F1 Traktor Kontrol Z2 NI Maschine Mikro AIAIAI TMA -1 Headphones HP Envy 14 Laptop Samsung 24 inch LED Monitor not pictured: DJTT Midifighter 3D Novation Launchpad M-Audio Oxygen 25 Novation Twitch 2 X Numark Pro-TT-2 Turntables |

| Jenae Hensarling 11.12.2012 | MWagner... though i'd stop by and say hi to a fellow Detroiter. Setup is looking good. |
| Werner Bile 11.12.2012 | added some LEDs under the tabletop for decoration, |
| Dick Korus 30.11.2012 | I don't at the moment, but I would if I traded my Vci or sold it to fund for one. |
| Werner Bile 30.11.2012 | You probably wouldn't miss them. I don't. If you have the money, I'd go for the Z2 in your situation, I'm looking at a Z2+X1+F1 setup myself. |
| Dick Korus 30.11.2012 | Nice setup! Im believeing of losing my jog wheels for a number of reasons, but wanted an opinion from someone that is used to it. I do realize you have the strip search function on the twitch, but other than that how is it? Im considering losing my jogs and getting a z2 because 1.) I'm not a scratch Dj 2.) i don't like having all kinds of layers of possibilities if I don't use them all 3.) I hate having all the fx presets and whatnot because I constantly feel like I rape my tracks with fx. 4.) the vci will soon be no longer supported, just as the midi fighter pros aren't and the classic wasn't and neither are any other one of the controllers they make mappings for. Well I took up space with a rant, but if you can give me a little more info on it Thad be great. |

I don't have much money but I'm not attracted to the Mixtrack because I dislike plasticky bullshit and I prefer to buy something for the longterm. |
| Werner Bile 28.11.2012 | It actually was my second controller after having a mixtrack, but yeah, I've been using it for quite. I like it a lot. I haven't missed the jog wheels at all. I use it with Traktor rather than itch, and it works great with the exception of the fact that novation's mapping doesn't work with grouped effects. I use a custom mapping and midifighter though, so it hasn't been a problem. I'm believeing of making the switch to external mixing, but if I don't I imagine I'll stick with the Twitch for some time. If you know midi-mapping, it's a very versatile piece of hardware for traktor. I've only used itch a tiny bit and didn't really like it, so I can't really speak to how it works with it. |
| Rubye Feicht 28.11.2012 | This is a horribly late bump, but I was just wondering how you've liked the twitch? It seems it's been in your setup from the get go, I'm contemplating buying it, as the touchstrip isn't an issue for me as I have used jogs before. |
| Werner Bile 19.10.2012 | I prefer to DJ standing up, but my desk was way to low to allow me to do that comfortably. So I built a little something to raise things up, as well as get all the wires under control. Here's the end result: IMG_1562.jpgIMG_1563.jpg The paint job didn't turn out great, but otherwise I'm quite happy with it. |
| Judi Sissel 15.09.2012 | Gotcha- I feel like the Maschine would complete my setup (hopefully for my wallets sake). I appreciate you taking some time to answer my questions. |
| Werner Bile 15.09.2012 | a tiny bit. I plan on putting some serious time into it as soon as I have some time to spare, which could theoretically happen sometime. |
| Judi Sissel 15.09.2012 | Haha. I could see how that could be soothing, but yet also aggravating. Have you toyed with the step sequencer mode? |

I also use it to control the loop recorder with the transport section and then use the pads for hot cues on deck c and d, as well as eq kills, gain controls, and some fx stuff that's really a work in progress. Its also my stress reliever when watching sports. My girlfriend and I will sit there during tense games and while she knits and crochets to deal with the nervous energy, I repeatedly re-map the thing from scratch. It's kind of a strange hobby, but its good practice and it's strangely calming. |
| Judi Sissel 16.09.2012 | How are you using the Mikro? |
