DJ setups/Mixer porn/New toys thread...

mono-stereo no I’m saving for xdj 700’s just bought the ddj to listen to tracks from my phone and mucking about on, had it on out my mates back garden last Sunday was good fun

Has it got those flashing lights.

Dubman
Haha. Not for £250 notes.

Think the flashing lights alone cost 200 per component!

Its a means to an end though. The videos tell me it will standardise my “workflow” with the XDJs.

The path to illumination is now clear!

Why couldn’t you do that with the S2.. couldn’t you get on with the Traktor software.

Heno no I’m saving for xdj 700’s just bought the ddj to listen to tracks from my phone and mucking about on, had it on out my mates back garden last Sunday was good fun

Just out of interest, why would you get separates and not and all-in-one like the RX2 or the XZ?

Dubman
Traktor sw is fine, but Rekordbox has more features that suit my needs, mostly around making it easier to pair tracks whilst learning to mix.

Mad_Cyril
As in the same Key.

Dubman
Traktor does key too.

Rekordbox allows you to link tracks you think go well together.

That process in Traktor is manual, based on add notes, remembering what you tagged as etc…

There’s a puppy of other features that Matt explains better above.

And I’m also i terested in this oud thingy making me more mobile than listening to tunes on a laptop

Fair enough mate. I’ve never used rekordbox so if can’t compare the two.

I used to but stopped straight after I bought an S2 as it done my back in leaning over to use it. To be honest you’ve just got to know your tunes then you’ll soon know what goes with what. I’ve been using vinyl the last few weeks & I think I prefer it now.

Usually they want a better mixer in between the decks?

Homegrove to be fair, I was asking the question of someone buying XDJ 700s

Ah.

Along_the_Wire exactly! Have a xone 92 and love it and now want to move to rotary never was mad about pioneer mixers

Along_the_Wire plus like the idea of still playing off cd decks

Heno cool, just curious mate

Traktor S3 price has been lowered to about 450 € if any of you want to upgrade your old S2s.

Anyone any recomendations for a VERY small monitor? I want something for a live stream setup outside, so doesn’t have to be loud just decent audio quality. I was thinking of something like an Amazon Echo, but I hear they have a nasty aux in delay. I cant be bothered taking my studio monitors outside and setup so want something ultra portable
