Whats your dream Dj Setup?
Posted on: 25.10.2010 by Candy Vardy
Hey guys, well I thought I would make this thread out of curiousity. If you could have any kind of Dj setup no limit in how much $$$ what would you want? For me I dont believe you need a huge expensive setup to be "set" just the good old regular stuff, but going large. Well I would want:

Macbook Pro 15"
2 X Pioneer CDJ 2000's
Pioneer DJM 800
NI Maschine
NI Kontrol X1
Sennheiser Hd 25 ii

= SET!!

Total $$$ = $7860.00 :eek:

Man I believe I've got a hell of alot of saving to do before I get any of that! I just gotta keep dreaming until then, lol. So whars your's guys?

Would definitely love a dedicated effects controller like the X1 and a drum machine though!

CDJ's are sweet man! I love mixing with my timecode cd's. It reminds me of when I used to mix only with cd's before Traktor, its just a bit easier now. You should def try to mix on CDJ's just with cd's, and then try timecode, its awesome. Mixing with timecode and having an X1 hooked up is even better!

ok me and my best friend are planing ong moving in together, some people spend cash on school, were puting all ours into gear. So far I have:
2x technics 1210m5g
M audio oxygen 8 (cant use it yet )
Rane ttm 56
Need:
Audio 8
Lenovo laptop (5-600$) range on ebay
Monster rca cables
Djtt usb cables
Traktor scratch pro
Kontrol x1

Im wondering if there,is a better controlerism option than the oxygen 8 to control decks c and d.

Alex has an s4 pre orderd and laptop, needs cables

We both wana work on getting good desktops, studio moniters, we wana use ableton, what programs should I use with ableton so far I believe I want massive. We want an apc40 I kinda want a monome, but I know u can map an apc40 for mlr. The goal is to produce a variety of music from down tempo to drum and bass and dubstep house, fidget.. We both love electronic music and have different favorite kinds. Anyone have suggestions. Oh a MIDI/synth, ive been believeing x station. Would it be a good idea to get some sort of multi channle sound board? Any programs for mastering? Thanks for all advice....

To all aspiring dj's... I was guna go to school still prolly will, but im 21 moved to mammoth lakes from so cal and work at a restraunt at evening and snowboard every day. U dont need to be a millionare to get what u want. between the two of us we will spend 15k on gear when its all said and done, plus money to promote ourselves and tour. But fuck it, what else are we guna spend our money on other than weed and booze and acid hahah.. maybe some led gloves and poi. Ne ways point being, take the necessary steps to live ur dream, fuck the money, id way rather have that gear than a savings!

Oh yeah we were drunk last evening and came up.with the name dj dtf and the pork swords.. Lol I dunno if it will stick.

Dude you have quite a sweet setup already! I wouldnt mind having half of your shit ha ha.. I've got a long way to go, but so far with my current set up I've been doing fine minus the X1 though, really wish i had that.

But I would love to have a Native Instruments Kontrol S4 and Pioneer HDJS500 next to it.
(Reality will most probably send me selling the BCR2000, Audio4DJ and Reloop RMX30 to get some nice cash to buy an S4)
Its always like that man, when we dream we want it all, but the reality is you gotta lose some to win some.

I believe a NI X1 would round out my ideal rig of vinyl timecode with Traktor Scratch Pro. Wouldn't mind either the Mono 365 or the Kondensor bag to haul to gigs. Actually, I could also really use some road cases and a hand cart.

Actually, I'd LOVE a good v-drum kit. That would be ideal. GOD I WANT ONE.

My dream-setup is basically what I have right now; perhaps change the ol' MBP into a new one with SSD and include another MBA with a Audio DJ2. But that would simply be the icying.

If money truly was no object I'd be looking at a Livid Instruments custom controller, for one thing.... Or at the very least, an Ohm-64 and the Code. Probably a 15" Macbook pro loaded, with 256 Gig SSD (or larger, if it's available by the time I get this wealthy). Allen + Heath Mixer, not sure which one but hell, maybe the dog's balls. 2 1200s like I have now of course (hehe maybe grab a couple extra while I can afford it). Probably Pioneer HDJ-2000 headphones.

Awww hell and you know I'm gonna have one of those 4MidiLoops around now that I can afford it, for the road. Maybe an S4 too for alternate road trips.

Oh yeah and the kicker is it's all goin through Acapella Sph

Macbook Pro 15"
NI Kontrol S4

Seems like an awesome setup!
Gilma Marchini

Most of these setups seem too big and have too much to control for my taste... Mine would be my current (VCI Arcade + midifighter) with 1 more midifighter for 2nd deck control, and a analog mixer + a good dubstep synth in 2nd channel... Add in a friggen huge subwoofer and I'd be the happiest man alive.

The sound quality is unbelievable but the comfort levels are just too low
I agree... but they sound sooooooooo nice..hehe my RPDJ1200's are not worthy!

I'm not sure if I would take the Serato over Traktor but each to their own. Serato does look good though, but I prefer the funtionality of Traktor. Nice dream setup though!
