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

    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

    …little video test today. Light was failing so picture grainy and was getting loads of vibration through the tripod, so will probably have another go tomorrow, but a couple of folk wanted to see the mixer in action so here it is, warts-and-all!:

      The setup looks class, Damien.

      Fuck me, that second tune is mint.

      I literally have no idea what you’re doing or how you’re doing it Damo. You don’t seem to have nailed the same levels of panic I get, so you need to work a little on that.

      Homegrove …tell me about it, the desk wasn’t designed for this, and I need to be super-careful with my back since an injury 18-months ago. Raising the mixer a couple of inches would improve it drastically, although to be honest, I want to clear the desk for production/editing duties, so thinking about a separate console of some sort.

      Cheers Matt 😉

      Grant: …still feel like I’m getting used to the mixer, a glass of vino deffo helps!

          Love the set-up Damo! Especially the speakers-what are they? I agree with homegrove though-you deffo need a chair. I can’t remember the last time I mixed while standing! Haha

            Thom_Fuckery …Adam A77X, not had them long, they’ve been fantastic so far.

            A chair!? I can’t DJ sitting-down.. I’d feel like the Wurlitzer player at an old cinema

                Liebing streams 6 hour techno-sets sitting down. Even more wrong than his music.

                  Lol! Yeah I’m a lazy fucker. Got my mixer stood up vertical, feet up on the coffee table, sat back in my comfy as fuck white office chair. Beats standing up hands down!!

                    Homegrove …yeah, I dunno, Rosenfeld did a great session seated in his studio, but it somehow feels a bit more acceptable when triggering tracks with a computer rather than cueing/beatmatching etc.

                    Jimpster seems to get away with mixing on his sofa, but I like to get a (admittedly low-key/middle-aged) groove-on when I’m in the zone.

                      …how’s the sound quality by the way?

                      Having real issues getting the levels right. The mixer has a dedicated ‘Tape out’ but is still way too hot for my iPhone. Only way I can get around it is connecting the Main phono out, and turning the master super-low… hence me having to turn the monitors way up to max to hear anything.

                      Need an in-line attenuator… something like this:

                      …but seems a bit of a frankenstein solution. Any ideas?

                      FAO OF DAMO - Some feedback if I may…

                      1. The sound is fine for my ears, balance sounds a little too much at the low end if anything?
                      2. Tripod wobble looks great, like you’re shaking the fuck out of the bass.
                      3. Curly headphone cables are a winner.
                      4. Maybe consider flicking some gang signs after each mix?

                      …nice one Cyril, cheers!

                      Gang signs not really my style, I was however thinking of introducing more heart-hands gestures, and chest-clutching while mouthing ‘I… LOVE… YOU’
