![]() One of these looks … sort of … more viable outside the home. So, I’ve selected a handful of DJ controllers I think stand out for these cases, partly because I’m surprised how often they’re eclipsed by the army of Plastic Coffins.Īnd I’m curious if Winter Music Conference shakes up this list. It’s nice to do this with proper controls, too. There’s also the use case of being at home or on the road and needing to finish a mix or podcast. But if you want a self-contained setup, you’ll definitely need some controls. ![]() Now, if you’re using CDJs or digital vinyl for control, you’ll presumably be okay you mainly need only an audio interface. Or until you show up at a club and there’s barely enough room for your 13″ MacBook Pro. That’s all fine and well – until you try to fit your controller into your backpack on easyJet. Let’s call such things the Plastic Coffins. It’d be the size of a coffee table (Lack!) and have a couple of giant wheels. Imagine if you were making a generic DJ controller prop for a bedroom display at IKEA. With so many of us called upon to DJ in a pinch – even as producers or live acts, onstage or in mixes – it’s relevant to almost anyone making electronic music.Īnd finding a way to stay mobile a worthy question – but one you might miss if following DJ blogs and music store displays. How can you get the most hands-on control of a laptop DJ set when you don’t have a lot of room?
