Pioneer Booth.
Packed with industry-standard equipment you'd find in any club or stage, our Pioneer Booth is the perfect place for our students to practice and record their sets.
Pioneer mixers and CDJs have been the de-facto choice of equipment on a DJ’s rider for years. Being able to arrive for a set with just a USB stick full of tracks and set of headphones, rather than a back-breaking amount of vinyl, has changed how we play and experience music at clubs and festivals forever.
Our Pioneer Booth replicates this club-standard by having a DJM-900NXS2 mixer and four CDJs: 2x CDJ-3000X and 2x CDJ-2000NXS2.
A Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro switcher and two GoPro cameras have been permanently installed to facilitate audio and video recordings of your sets. Simply insert a USB stick into the ATEM and press record.
Finally, Ableton Live Suite is available on the Macbook Pro for playback of any audio and the recording of audio-only sets.
Check out our other DJ booth: Allen & Heath Booth.
