LIVID DIY Design Competition

LIVID DIY Design Competition Posted on: 29.03.2013 by Valeri Millstein I have been looking into building myself a LIVID controller and I was hoping someone on here could help me out with a design, I want to use all LIVID controls, have 32 buttons, 4 deck mixing control plus other fun stuff. The person who comes up with the best design with have the controller named after them and $10 sent to them via pay pal. Let see your ideas guys! Images would be great! Put you creativity to the max! Btw 10 dollars is a joke... But I might send you a bath and body works coupon.
Valeri Millstein 02.04.2013	Originally Posted by Gribble Just misread the post (bozo award goes to me), thought the $10 was for the 'official' design contest for Livid posted somewhere. Just irritates me that some companies do this, just so they can tidy up an idea and send it off to be manufactured paying pitence to the designer. Best of luck to you on your personal project. Sorry again, best of luck with the project Your all good sir! And the $10 is just kinda a joking incentive... I should change it to something more obscure... 3 Tacos with hot sauce. Im just looking for ideas.
Gaynell Rydberg 01.04.2013	Originally Posted by Gribble Jeezus thats an absolute rip off! Are Livid's designers that un-original that they can't come up with their own ideas, if so they need an over-haul . . $10 dollars is an awful 'fee', I can understand you're not all Ergonomists, Electronics Engineers, Mould Design Specialists but still they should offer a much better 'prize' rather than your name on the 'design'. I'm a Product Design student (second year BSc) and I wouldn't even consider a fee for a 2 week project for less than $750! Call me greedy but your doing your saving the company hiring a professional free-lancer who would charge a considerate amount more, min $1,400 for 2 weeks work!! Not targeting you guys, but its awful that the company are free loading off of others creativity and seriously under cutting both you guys and the professional community . . I'm not really sure why you're ranting... Do you really expect an end user to pay 750 dollars for a controller that costs maybe 300-400 to make? He's not working for the company AFAIK. This is for his own use.

Valeri Millstein 30.03.2013	Originally Posted by balakoth Are you trying to pretty much recreate an S4 type thing yourself? Similar but I want to have great custom mapped functions for I am more knowledgeable with mapping then building. But I just want to have ultimate Traktor Controller.
Shawn Vanhaitsma 30.03.2013	Originally Posted by 0Notice Correct! I am doing the same this summer Notice. Except mine is going to be a "Mixing Desk" per se for my live performance setup controlling most of the transport functions in Ableton which works along side the Maschine and Push. Are you trying to pretty much recreate an S4 type thing yourself?

Lannie Kutay 29.03.2013	are you gonna be using the dual80 or the skiff80?
Kellie Myrum 29.03.2013	There is Livid DIY competition in progress as we speak. Not sure when it ends up but we'll be able to see all the great stuff people did come up with their DIY line. Maybe you can find some ideas for your unit there but I'm also curious what DJTT members have on their mind.
