Nicole Moudaber

Much like Moudaber’s DJ sets, MOOD50 is put together using Ableton Live software. “I’m really happy with my set-up,” she says. “I use Ableton Push2 [controller] and the [PLAYdifferently] Model 1 mixer. I’ve got an amazing Antelope Orion 32+ soundcard.

"Native Instruments Kontrol X1 (2) and Kontrol X1 MK2 as back up. I remapped my X1s to fit the way I play; I can do it blindfolded when I’m on, from beat jumps, loop functions and cue points. I normally use Deck C for effects and have all 3 decks running together which I full control from my X1s. I’m a loop freak, if I can have 6 decks looping at some point i can be happy. I also mapped the CDJs which I connect to Traktor on HID mode to give me the same functions as my controllers, sometimes it’s easier to reach them when I’m browsing through my library," says Nicole, in this article.

"For all my recordings. This is essential for me as I broadcast most of my live sets on my radio show InTheMOOD, it also includes mic for crowd noise capture," Nicole says about her Zoom H4n Mobile 4-Track Recorder, in this article.

"Her setup is heavily centered around Traktor and the Kontrol X1s with a big emphasis on looping, 'By looping certain sections of the tracks, it allows me to have different sounds and more control to effect them,'" it says, in this article.

"Finally a refined mixer is available. It was instant love when I played the MODEL 1 in Palm Springs. The sound experience and attention to detail implemented is second to none. This six channel mixer is a game changer for the DJs who seek to enhance their sets as well as playing back to back" You can find this text in the "ambassadors" section of the official playdifferently web page.

In the article on DJ Life Magazine, Nicole Moudaber states: "I’m a lover of the more organic and characterful analog sound, so I use a lot more outboard than plug-ins – things like a Eurorack modular system, Jomox Alpha Base, Akai MPC2000, Prophet-6, among others. I also love the more hands-on and tactile approach that you get with those instruments."
