    James Zabiela's set up



    Apparently this is what James made for himself so he can put his stuff together when he gets to a gig LOL...such a funny guy!

    Edit: I just got a bit of an explanation...apparently he's quite dyslexic and this helps him memorize what goes where...who am I to judge it seems to be working wonders for him!

    Interesting. When did he switch out the kaoss pad in favour of the kaossilator? You don't have a link to a larger image do you? Some of what he's written is a bit hard to read.

    Edit: nevermind, I just leant in really close to the screen

        Gotta love the music notes and little "Swish" & "Wheeeeee" effects too!

        I'd say those just come with the setup!

          Doesn't matter if you know all his equipment or not. No one will ever be able to be in the same class with the guy as a DJ.

              I think he just means the current audio 8 dj soundcard.

                  Quite a lot of detail that in that rough sketch...

                  Looks complicated as hell though..

                      Why would Zabiela need to draw his own set up? As a DJ and someone who tours with his own equipment, he can't possibly forget how to set it up unless he's seriously off his tits at gigs.

                      And why would he need to remind himself that an Apple Macbook is a LAPTOP and a Pioneer DJM 800 is a mixer

                      I reckon it's someone in the booth with him who sketched the set up.

                      I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

                        You can think what you will...I am really not that bothered. I just thought it was pretty cool. Zabiela was in Belgrade on the 25th of April and a 'friend' of mine was working as a photographer. James spent like 30 minutes setting up his equipment using these drawings so my friend took a photo....and I already explained that the man is dyslexic.

                          I thought a picture of most DJ's set was sent to the club before the gig so someone at the gig would set it up before hand.
