I kinda want that Omni Duos thing but it needs to come down about half price. Or make one that isn’t portable for cheaper

omfg that thing is $1600?! i built my whole studio with an M4 mac mini for less than that. no joke, my computer, monitors, displays, desk, ableton license, and chair was like $1500 all in. isn’t a damn XDJ cheaper than that?!

The M4 Mini is an AMAZING value! I got one a few months back. Got the monitor and keyboard/mouse all used for like $165 off marketplace I think the xdj is like $7-800 I can’t remember. I just like its small form and built in screen, trying to slim my belongings down

thanks! yeah, silly cheap. the desk was like $120 on amazon, i got the m-audio 8” monitors for $200 for the pair, the displays were like $20 each, the mac mini was like $700 with the RAM upgrade, the mic was $90, chair was like $90, and i got a discount ableton license for $250, less than one CDJ.

My brother got the Alesis monitors for free so he kicked them down to me, they sound pretty good. One of center cones was dented but I was able to order a new one and replace it! Never did a speaker repair like that, it was easier than I imagined

also, if you’re interested, i wouldn’t mind taking a crack at mixing ‘lake temescal,’ if you want. no charge, i just wanna see how it pops with a bit of razzle dazzle. i used to make a lot of lofi and cloud trap beats for my old instagram and haven’t in a LONG time. email the audio stems if u want

I’ll have to see if I still have the project! I would absolutely be down to let you if I can find it!

i still feel bad about this but i bought a used pair of Behringer monitors on ebay for my first studio, and one of them wasn’t holding power, the seller refunded me and let me keep them because he had them in storage. turns out those monitors had a switch that would power them off without signal.

i’m tuned out of the dj world lol i’ve just been focused on producing. i stopped touring with my last alias 10 years ago and haven’t been spinning much at all since then. i wanna scoop an flx4 or whatever just to practice mixing and get more confident but i haven’t had a job in over a year now lol

I try to make beats and stuff but I genuinely just like messing around. Haven’t completed an actual track in a while :( I’m a MUCH better dj than producer! soundcloud.com/matybeatz

you’ve got cool ideas there! honestly it’s all ear training at a certain point. the mix is really what makes the track in many cases and that literally just comes with ear training over time. you’ve got some cool ideas and your structure is fine, now it’s just practice and messing with compressors.
