@tecModeDJ I have a hybrid rig, too. It's battery operated. I've been spinning at parks in Tokyo since 2017. The computer is a NUC mini PC, boots Win 10 and Mac OS. "Hackintosh" Two USB powered 15 inch touch screen displays. One as main screen, the other for visuals downloaded from youtube. Lots of AI text to videos, some I made made myself. Wireless headphone, using 2.4GHz transmitter/receiver set, so I'm not tethered to the rig. I can dance around, mingle with the audience and run back and forth at will. USB powered wifi router. Virtual DJ and Virtual DJ remote via wifi Ableton Live NI Reaktor 5 TouchOSC on three iPhones and one iPad to trigger samples and effects on Live and control Reaktor synths, and drum machines. The iphones and ipad also runs Virtual DJ remotes. Ableton Link syncs Virtual DJ and Live. Battery packs and charger are custom made. Packs are raw pouch Li Ion cells, it runs the rig for about 6 hours. All of the above are housed in a metallic light weight travel case. The main display is fixed to the lid so the screen swings out when you open it, like a laptop. My speaker box, amp and battery pack are homemade too, from junk bookshelf speakers and cheap amp boards from China. Everything is strapped onto a folding luggage cart, which was a pain hopping on and off trains (I don't own a car) and because it's pretty heavy, especially on rough pavement and cobble stone roads... so a few months ago, I rigged a self-balancing "hoverboard" to the cart as my mule and it works great, I'm no longer exhausted before I even get to the park, as well coming back home drunk dog tired. I'm no musician so I've only been using soft synths to make wild sounds, and as a sampler. And for FX on the mic. I occasionally sing along to my retro 80's sets, and Japanese chicks dig it lol But I have to get pretty drunk to get started. But yeah, J chicks love their karaoke culture. I'm also broadcasting on FM radio as a poor man's silent disco system.
Dude this is amazing you need some more exposure. I love your hybrid setup too! Can you explain more about how things are connected? Is everything running into the DDJ1000? I've done a little of this trying to sync ableton to Rekordbox using Ableton LINK.
Hey, thanks for the kind words! In terms of how things are connected, yes, everything ends up at the DDJ-1000. The general audio routing is.... Rekordbox on channels 1 & 2 Vinyl / Technics 1210 on channel 4 Hardware instruments on channel 3 (these are summed using a Yamaha MG10XU). I have tried Ableton Link but find it restrictive as you need to use sync when mixing. Instead I have the TR-8S as the midi clock source. Everything slaves off that, even Ableton when I use it. I then manually beatmatch the TR-8S with Rekordbox and bring it into the mix. Essentially I tread the 8S like another deck. Hope that helps.
@@tecModeDJ Nice that makes sense. Yeah LINK feels overly restrictive in a lot of ways. The better I get at beatmatching, the less important LINK feels anyway. This is great, you've encouraged me to keep going with my hybrid setup. I have the Push3 standalone I'm trying to work in basically the way you use the TR8S.
Hey great! Glad it's helped with the inspiration. My tip would be work with the BPMs as whole numbers to start. E.g. set the playing deck on Reckordbox to 128.00 BPM, for example, then it's easy to set the BPM via your push to 128.00BPM too. Start Ableton in time with the playing deck and either nudge Ableton or the playing deck to get things tight. Then mix in Ableton. Boom!

So cool I have to comment twice. The vinyl and everything! Really pushing what this controller can do to the limits. I love it!
Haha, thanks. I was sweating by the end of the set 😅
wicked live jam
Thanks, glad you dig.

Amazing mix/ hybrid setup. What plugin are you using next to OBS on the right monitor?
Thanks! I'm using a VST from Brainworx called bx_meter. Great for RMS level and dynamic range info.
