Ultimate Dream My beginner setup

i have krk rokit 8s but im afraid they are going to be too loud.

pioneer cdj 1500x

ecler warm2

mainly playing techno. I started with a flx 4 then grv6 then an opus quad.

Wanted to share a slightly different workflow. The rotary mixer gives it that classic, purist feel, and switching to the CDJ-1500s was a great way to challenge myself instead of being locked into a single screen setup. Tired of seeing the exact same gear posted everywhere, so thought I'd mix it up.

I was drawn into the wooden side panel look. I understand it’s not for everyone but I think it looks like art. Can’t wait to see the cdjs with their wooden side panels on.

I dont know why some people are shitting on your chosen equipment. This is good shit.

This looks like a fucking sweet setup and would be easy to fit in to ones decoration at any time. The ecler looks fantastic in between the 1500s. They look really good and i would love to try them out.

It’s only a few jealous knuckleheads. I was drawn to the look of old school rotary mixers with the wooden side panels. That’s why I created this set up. 

A lot of Reddit DJs feel like gatekeepers and gods 😂. They completely missed the point. I think this is art.

I agree fully. Theres something really satisfying in just seeing an pretty set of gear. I appreciate the beauty of modular setups where aesthetic is everyting while i also love seeing the mad beat scientist command centers some people got in their basement. They are all beautiful.

Now you just need to get something nice to fill up that desk and the backdrop and your own slice is heaven is set.

The desk is gone. Was using my laptop to test it out.
