What's the next thing you're going to buy for your DJ set-up?

OOOhhhh – MF Pros are the shyet! Love my cue master so much fun!!! For a while I was djing with my cue master and a launchpad (mapped for Traktor) – was a really nice set up actually.

Probably some new cans. I’m currently using my studio cans, which do the job, but have crappy isolation and have no flexible cups. I’ve been eyeing off the Pioneer HDJ-1000s, they’re right in my price range =D Anybody have any suggestions?

Dear Santa:

• A subwoofer. Or two.

• A new or rebuilt cabinet. Having both audio and lighting in the cabinet looks pretty cool, but it’s a pain in the ass to carry!

• Maybe a new smoke machine. Mine are tired.

• Another DMX power box for the truss.

Thinking about a Midi Fighter Classic for when I use CDJs and timecode vinyl.

I could always use some more lights! But really, I have all the equipment I need right now, more that I can move with my truck, so I guess what I really need is a trailer!

I have dreams about this. I played with one at Guitar Center. Wasn’t all that impressed by Itch, but i think it would just be something you have to get used to. The fact that you can midimap the NS6 for Traktor is the appealing part. Then you can do a real comparison between the 2 softwares. If someone figures out how to effectively map the touchstrip for Traktor, I think I might be sold.

Exactly. The build quality is excellent on the NS6. I think it justifies the price in a lot of ways. Combine that with it’s ability as a stand alone mixer and the kinds of outputs it has, and it’s really hard to beat. Throw in the full version of Itch, with 4 decks and lifetime updates, and that’s a hard deal to beat. I think beyond the NS6, I’d start to consider a DVS set-up because you are already getting up there in price. I think it’s can only be a good thing to know both pieces of software as well and there is no real easy way to test out Itch without a certified controller. Hanging out in Guitar center just creeps me out and I can’t stand there long enough to get a feel for Itch with random music.

Damn, now I’m doing math in my head figuring out how to get my hands on one.

LOL yes, don’t want to be a Guitar Center rat. And honestly, I don’t think you’re going to find a better deal than the one that just ended at Guitar Center. They had a Father’s Day promo worth 100 bucks. I should have taken advantage of that and snagged the NS6 but I guess I’m just prolonging my exposure to the marketing campaigns of other controllers. Giving them another shot to sway me. 😀
