20250905 - Dj Recording setup

Right now my setup is small, but I could record DJ set with microphone and some of my gadgets. Here is an explanation, so I can setup next time easier:

  • DDJ-FLX4
  • Bastl instruments DUDE mixer. POWERED WITH BATTERIES
  • Behringer U-phopria UM2 audio interface. Mono recording
  • Microphone XM8500
  • Microphone preamplifier Tube ultragain MIC300
  • Speakers at home

The connections are:

  • Inputs of the mixer: The microphone preamp, the sampler, the dj set
  • Output of the mixer to Instrument audio input of the Audio interface.
  • Direct monitor of audio interface to speakers
  • Audio headphones to the computer, use this to check the output level

The steps are the next:

  • Connect everything.
  • Gain of Audio interface instr gain 2, keep it low.
  • Gain of FLX4 keep it high.
  • Dude gain keep it to the middle
  • Use Quicktime player to record the audio. You are gonna record in stereo and in postprocessing, take the mono input. You can configure to listen in realtime
  • Setup all the devices so they have similar gain. Keep gain of audio interface low, it introduce noise
  • To record in the computer use Quicktime player.
