Pioneer DDJ 1000 Flight Case Custom Modifications (YOU CAN DO THIS TOO!)
/// In this video, I show you a Pioneer DDJ 1000 flight case modification project that my friend Tamer and I embarked on earlier this year. This is not your ordinary flight case build video, as it was important to me to document the entire process of a flight case DIY. These DJ tips and tricks should provide you with great information when putting together your own audio rack.
The video highlights the three phases I go through when putting together an audio rack setup; planning, purchasing the parts and of course, the installation of the various powercon, XLR and other audio connectors that make up a custom rack panel.
For the most efficient mobile DJ and wedding DJ setup, I absolutely recommend putting together your own custom rack panel.

Just found your channel been watching a bunch of your vids but I've watched this one a couple times. I'm going to order a specialized panel from RedCo, but I wanted to ask what is on the "backside" of the panel? Especially the powercon. Would I have to do special wiring for that cable?

@chrisgirardi2827 2 года назад

Great video …in one shot I see a version where you have an external mixer hooked up. I’d live to see a pic of how you have that connected w a panel. I currently have something similar to this but looking to add a separate mixer for mics especially.

@SuperMksc Год назад

I wanted to make a case build like this. just not sure if i can make my rane one fit to the case because the rane one is a little bit smaller. Main concern would be the foam thats gonna support the controllers feet.

@@djkanoya Why do you think promo only is the number one pool what about bpm

@djkanoya 3 года назад

@@DjBriteEyes Ultimately the best DJ pool is up to the DJ himself. I think Promo is the best overall because it provides all of the top songs in every genre you could possibly need and the download process is super easy. BPM is great for remixes and edits. But you do have to hunt around the site for the music.

@DJ-Coma 2 года назад

Interesting! Any videos or photos that show the cables plugged into the final product? Just curious how it all looks and how you route them. Thanks!

@djkanoya 2 года назад

I have a scrim with access holes to run cabling inside the scrim. So I usually just do it that way. And you can see in the thumbnail (sort of) how the cables stick out, but it does not interfere with anything.

@Darkus777 2 года назад

This is dope and definitely something I would be interested in. Thanks for sharing. My only issue is I'm 6'3" and I typically take my controller (DDJ 1000SRT) out of the case and place it on top. I also use a 24" x 12" x 2" dense piece of foam under my case to raise the height even further and provide stability. It saves my back big time as I couldn't DJ with the controller in the case. Not sure if there's a work around for tall peeps!

@djkanoya 2 года назад

Have you tried putting the lid of the case on the table, and then the bottom part of the case on top of the lid? Also, the Lifetime 4-foot table adjust to 36-inches. Which table do you use? Most tables do not adjust are are fixed at 30-inches.

@ancientevil11 Год назад

I know this is a couple years old, but I’m glad I found this! This is actually what I’ve been looking for as I just got a Pro X case for my DDJ 1000SRT (I assume it’s exactly the same measurements?) I am not a fan of drilling holes into the actual case so that panel with the connectors looks like what will work for me. I also don’t want to sacrifice any ports that are available. My question is that my case does not have the bracket or frame to attach the custom front panel in your video, so how would I go about doing that? Is that something I can add myself? If so, would you mind giving a name of what to look for? I would appreciate it.

@djamaraLA 3 года назад

awesome video! thanks for sharing. I'm shopping for a new case now and was wondering if theres a difference between the Prox and Odyssey all black case? Also, I'm not a fan of the sliding laptop stand. Does it look funny and will I have an issue transporting if I remove the sliding case? Thanks again!

@djkanoya 3 года назад

Hi there ... well kinda crazy, but I have video responses to both of your questions, so I'll comment on each one individually. I just made a video comparing ProX and Odyssey. I think you'll be fine with either, as long as your Odyssey case has the FZ designation in the model number. The FR case, while more slimmer, is not as protective. The FZ (or Flight Zone) are comparable to ProX. A ProX reached out to me and did say they spend a little more on their rubber and foam, so take that for what it is worth. You can see that comparison video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HN5uzAW2pms.html Regarding the sliding shelf, definitely get one that has it included. It will protect the controller in transit and you can always remove it when you set-up. And you never know, you might be in a situation where you need it (so it's good to have, just in case).

@djamaraLA 3 года назад

@@djkanoya thanks for info! I'll check that video out. you're right its probably best to just get the shelf. thanks again!

@finnbarrdunleavy3983 2 года назад

Can i ask , did you use the Odyssey case built for the XDJRX2 controller ? as i cant find a controller case for the DDJ 1000 controller with 2 U rack spaces ... if you did , did you have to add rubber to the inside to make the controller fit snugly in the case ?

@djkanoya 2 года назад

This is the DDJ1000 Odyssey case. It's specific for that controller.

@tolytes71 3 года назад

Just wondering where did you guys screw the rackmount panel to hold it.do they come with a bracket to screw it on?

@djkanoya 3 года назад

The 2U rack rail is already installed on the Odyssey case.

@djgmix916 Год назад

On the usb.. for the red o panel..it says pass through no cabling. What’s that for? Is that to hook up the controller? If I use this same build for a sx2 it should work.. but curious what the usb was for?

@djkanoya Год назад

It's USB power to be able to connect a USB cable to the power conditioner. I use it to charge my phone.

@djamaraLA 3 года назад

also, I normally plug my controller into a small Mackie mixer because i find the mic outputs on the 1000 isn't the best and i like the sound coming out of the mackie better. If i use the rack on the case, do you have a rackable mixer you recommend to replace my Mackie mini mixer? thanks!

@djkanoya 3 года назад

I 100% support the use of an external mixer at most events, but especially when microphones are an important component. A good upgrade for you would be a digital mixer, either from Mackie, QSC or Soundcraft. One of the greatest assets of a digital mixer is the ability to remotely control it from anywhere in the room (via tablet or smartphone). Here's my video on why I use my QSC mixer at all my weddings: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XkXZOVAM0xQ.html
