All new Push 2

Everything you missed on the Push? It's on the Push 2. I love the integration with Ableton Live. Must have device.

You'll be in trouble with you neighbours if you use two

The amazing Sonos wireless subwoofer is an invaluable addition for my wireless music setup. The speakers provide me with feedback on how a track sounds when played on loud volume in a club. Warning: these subwoofers are highly addictive. You'll be in trouble with you neighbours if you use two ...

The finest wireless speakers around

The Sonos mid-sized wireless speaker offering the kind of balance that is ideal for listening to music like consumers do. I use these to find out how a track sounds when played by people that don't work with high end studio gear. My morning starts with selecting music for my Sonos player and they continue to play all day long.

High quality

Love the high quality of the duet. It's the standard for home studios.

Love it and hate it

I love the fact you can organize your music in the same way you play you music on stage, but the software itself is counter intuitive.

Extra extra

I use Mixed in Key for extra info and organizing my music

Standard stand

Guess this is the stand 99% of the home studios use :-)

A project studio owner I worked for got tons of free auralex 'solutions' in a discontinued color from a buddy of his who worked there. All we did was rob some cool sounding rooms of character and create a mix space so dead that it was impossible to create mixes in it.

I eventually insisted we pull all of it down and start over. This stuff was incredibly useful for creating moving baffles (gobos in the parlance of the industry). As far as the mix space was concerned? I wound up using a dualt layer approach with the auralex on the ceiling to remove it from the equation, but the corner pieces were totally worthless as bass traps, so I built some traps fro supplies purchased at Home Depot. I cannot say enough bad things about auralex as a 'total room control solution' but it is incredibly useful to have some around to attack certain problems in spaces that are not designed for music performance or critical listening.

Diaphragm condenser microphone

Closely resembles the NT1-A, but the microphone has been completely redesigned from the ground up, with the only shared component being the mesh grille. Used for podcasts and producing.

Slim and fits the form factor of my Apple gear.

Production flow

Love the production flow in Ableton Live. With the Ableton Push it's the perfect setup to produce housemusic.

Version: Ableton Live 9

Best OS, lousy form factor

Okay, the form factor of the iPhone 6 is terrible. They even made the mistake of putting the 'exit' button right where you put you thumb when making a picture. But it OS is perfect. That's why I still prefer iPhone over Android.

Great workstation

Since 2011 I've been a fan of the iMac. I love the design and it's OS enables me to do my work hassle free.

Easy transfer

The eyefi is great for transferring files quickly to social media.

My best companion

Wherever I go, this recorder is connected to the DJ booth. What I love is that it's plug and play. The only thing I'd love it to have is wifi.

Monitor speakers for producing and track hunting

For producing and track hunting I use these ultimate monitors. They produce a really nice flat sound, in where I can hear all details of a track.

Preferred live mix speakers

When I'm doing a live set in my studio or podcasting I love to have these monitor speakers connected to the DJ booth. They give a warm and nice sound, while still providing objective feedback for good mixing and listening.

Production flow

The Push enables me to have an efficient production flow. It seamlessly integrated with Ableton Live. Next step is to take it into the DJ booth.

My standaard headphones

Love the new MK2 version of the Pioneer DHJ-2000. Not matter what the conditions are, I know I can rely on the sound of my headphones to make informed decisions in the club or studio.
