try setting that lot up while the DJ before you is playing!

For that kinda set up you definatly need to be getting some VIP treatment from the promoters.... does look good though

My favorite part is the giant pile of wires behind the thing.

HELLO!? Cluttered!

looks like fun but I would not want to be dealing with that in club settings all the time. The mixers are nice and,... well all of it is nice but dam a little over the top if you ask me. I would rather just have one huge custom midi controller and a serious coumputer with a HUGE display or multidisplay and live. that would do it for me. Like why use not one but two copies of traktor when you have live? Im sure they have there reasons.

Yeah I know what you mean...I couldn't think of a way to use this sensible as well...

...but, I'ts still an unbelievable setup!

I'm trying out another approach than only software (live) in my sets currently. I bought a monomachine from elektron, wich has 6 midi sequencers, and 6 for internal processing. Besides this my housemate has a machinedrum so that's another 16 sequencers in the basket (for live and internal). I use a bcf2000/trigger finger/uc33e for control of live (and the midi sequenencers from the machinedrum and monomachine). That's the sickest setup I have had the pleasure of playing with in a looong time, I can tell you that!

giving the benefit of the doubt, this must be set up to provide them options but not all pieces are required.

In all honesty, I kinda think they need to streamline a bit. There are waaayyy to many options there IMO. But who am I to say such a thing? They may really work it.

But I doubt it. How the hell is it all sync'd up? Live doesn't handle external syncing that well, Traktor is shit for it (which means they must manually beat match that after getting their tracks beat marked), and then they have redsound cycloops and machinedrum on top of all that?

Overkill in my opinion. But I could be wrong depending on how they use it.
