What’s not in the pic is a stanton str8-60 – but I don’t use that for DJing, only for listening to records at home – I’m a huge Jazz snob and Vinyl is the only way to go for home listening for me.

Is that your gig setup as well? And if it is, are the owners/promoters generally receptive of your controllers?

X1 S4 combo along with a 09 13″ MBP (swapped the HD for a 500gb one and put 8gb of RAM) and HDJ2000 cans. Recently found a Marshall footpedal laying around so playing a bit with it before going out to buy an unlatched one.

An Oxygen49 and iPad for production.

Yeah, that’s my entire set up for gigs and for home – Like I said, it does everything I need it to and I don’t really want to buy some turntables and/or cdjs just so promoters/owners will think highly of me. Plus I kinda love the ability to move and jump up and down with my controllers! I have shown up at gigs though where the promoter asked if these were toys and touched them cause he thought they weren’t actually doing anything! But for the most part nobody minds – once I get started and the music starts going and the crowd starts moving they stop caring.

This pic is missing the X1 I’ve added recently. You also can’t see the disco ball 🙁

Very nice! Isn’t it a bit annoying having everything so far apart though? I guess you’re used to it. Like your desk.

The angles on the desk make things closer than they appear in a picture. A feature you may not notice from the picture: the NanoKontrol and KP-3 shelves slide away. Yay for having builder mates 😉

That’s legit. They can’t argue with a wild crowd and crazy drops. I agree that purchasing CDJs just to look the part makes no sense, though I considered getting the DDJ T1 at one point to help familiarize myself with the CDJ style. But I realized the learning curve can’t be THAT bad. If I ever get lucky enough to land a residency where the big wigs look down on controllers, I’m sure I’d have no issues switching to CDJs for club gigs.

Yeah, I think one of the 10 commandments is learn to use CDJs and/or Vinyl which I already do anyway at least the basics – Back in the Philippines I had DJ friends and I used to stand in for them from time to time both on Vinyl and CDJs so I understand how they work – not a fan of CDJs though… they seem crazy expensive for the lesser of both worlds – thats just my opinion though.

Agreed! I’m a brand new DJ with the serious bug, but haven’t pulled together my finances enough to get my first controller, so this is like porn to me. Sitting here, lasciviously eying all of your rigs feels exciting and a little dirty!!
