The Pancaker's Setup
The Pancaker's Setup Posted on: 03.05.2012 by Loyce Mekonen Current state:And a picture of the whole mess And a few half decent current shots: History So... I started Dj'ing on December 2010, by that time I used an X1 USB mixer which had two USB inputs coming from VDJ7. I used a custom keyboard mapping while mixing externally.. needless to say, I knew nothing about DJ'ing by that time lol. Here's the only pic I have of that setup. Some time later I got myself a numark Mixtrack with a DJiO soundcard. And although I do not have a pic of such setup, I do have one with my later acquired APC20 and Sennheisers HD205. There's also my friend's omni control. Some time later I got hold of a used X1, and my girl gave me a laptop stand for christmas. So fast forward to present day... I got myself an S2 and sold the mixtrack and sound card. I still keep the APC20 but I don't really use it now... I planned to use it with Traktor 2.5 but we all know what happened. So it's waiting to be sold and then I believe I'll get an F1 to try it out. Anyway, pic of the current setup plus a few other artsy/decent pics I finally got to take since I couldn't be bothered to do it before. S2 with X1, Griffin laptop stand and Senns HD205's. As monitors I run an Aiwa stereo which sounds decent, albeit not in an ideal location. Next upgrade is going to be a decent desk which will come hopefully in the next few months. | |

| Merlyn Birchfield 19.04.2013 | Cool, just curious...thanks |
| Loyce Mekonen 20.04.2013 | I personally hate shift layers, so yeah, I have the first column of knobs on the X1 mapped as super knob effects, while the second one controls the macro effects. The rest of the buttons give me instant control of decks C/D. I still have a long way though to start making really cool routines and stuff... but I'm working on it |
| Merlyn Birchfield 19.04.2013 | Great photos Question though: what's the purpose of combining an X1 with an S4? Just controlling FX 3 and 4? |
| Loyce Mekonen 18.04.2013 | So... small update again. Same setup but with an S4 instead of an S2. A couple of fancy shots now: |

| Marva Cupid 29.12.2012 | Loving the speakers. I have a pair and they rival my krks in sound quality. I use them as mid hi and my krks for more mid and a bit of lows. Wooo for 20 uear old speakers. Just out of curiosity, what equalizer and supposed "surround sound" do u have yours set to? |
| Loyce Mekonen 20.12.2012 | Thanks man! I'm really happy for how it all turned out! I'm now believeing about upgrading to an S4 though... RGAS and all that, lol. |
| Dierdre Stillabower 20.12.2012 | Looking real nice! |
| Loyce Mekonen 20.12.2012 | Finally the desk is back and it's perfect! So... pictures of my setup Stored position Extended position And a picture of the whole mess |
| Werner Bile 28.11.2012 | nice work, looks great. |
| Loyce Mekonen 28.11.2012 | Thanks man! Here, another shot of the work in progress. Once the desk is back from the workshop I'll fix all the cable spaghetti. |
| Ming Devis 26.11.2012 | The third shot of the F1 looks awesome. Nice set up dude |
| Loyce Mekonen 26.11.2012 | So... my design works! It's actually quite comfy and looks kinda okay. Here's a messy picture of a even more messy mock up. This is going back to the workshop since the furniture guy sucks big time. The desk is a structural mess since the guy didn't follow my directions. Also, the finishing details suck big time... God how I wish we had Ikea over here. |
| Loyce Mekonen 18.11.2012 | Thanks man! |
| Dick Korus 17.11.2012 | those are some sick photos! Nice! |
| Loyce Mekonen 17.11.2012 | So a few "nicer" shots. Still need the new desk, after that the pics will look sooo much better I hope. |
| Edwina Fagel 17.11.2012 | Just long exposure nuclear bombs. |
| Werner Bile 17.11.2012 | was there a nuclear test happening outside your house when you took that? |
| Loyce Mekonen 18.11.2012 | So... small update. Finally got my F1! Better pics taken with decent camera will come next week once I get my new desk |
| Treasa Tala 10.10.2012 | thank you ! |
| Loyce Mekonen 09.10.2012 | Expedit bookshelves, capita legs and capita brackets. That and some kind of tabletop or shelve plus two or more drawer rails placed horizontally. But yeah, definitely check that thread. |

| Treasa Tala 09.10.2012 | im looking for something like that too . do you have the name of the desk and parts list . ill be off to my local ikea store . thank you ! thomas |
| Loyce Mekonen 09.10.2012 | Yeah, I've been needing that desk for ages. Don't have Ikea here though so it's a bitch to find someone to build the desk for a reasonable price and to actually make what I need since my room is quite crammed right now. Regarding the F1, it should be here by friday if my friend ever decides to leave NY lol. |
| Dierdre Stillabower 09.10.2012 | Very cool, I'd love a dedicated desk like that. Do you have the F1 yet? |
| Loyce Mekonen 09.10.2012 | So I've been working on a decent desk for my gear and this is what I've come with so far. Gear is mostly for reference. I'll hopefully start building it this month. |
