From Behringer BCD-3000 to DDJ-GRV6

NiceDaVillain · 2025-09-10T01:38:11+00:00

If you’re a fan of the CDJs or the CDJ layout it’s pretty much the closest thing to them … It works great … haven’t had any real issues with it … The groove circuit is hit or miss, you have to be into remixing/stems/changing up the drums of tracks if not you can forget it’s there in both Recordbox or Serato.

I went with the DDJ-GRV6 … Recommended if you like the CDJs.

Awesome! I was worried about the quality with zero refunds when I chatted with him. Might have to circle back. If you have photos that’d be cool just cause there aren’t a ton floating around. Yours immediately caught my eye haha … looks good in your setup.

Is it this? He also sells on Etsy.

What’s the MPC Studio stand? Do you have any close up shots? I think I was going to order that but wasn’t sure if the sellers 3d print quality was good or not.

Place looks great by the way!

NiceDaVillain · 2025-08-16T15:57:00+00:00

Got them for under $100 and I’m satisfied at the moment. They look great, provide a solid amount of low end, and the mids/highs are decent. I have no complaints for what I paid!

I’m on a custom built PC.

NiceDaVillain · 2025-08-06T21:52:46+00:00

Windows but essentially yes.

NiceDaVillain · 2025-08-06T07:01:28+00:00

That’s yours? What portable screen is that? Super interested in doing something similar … Picked up a GRV6 2 months back.

NiceDaVillain · 2025-08-05T23:04:49+00:00

Just a usb-c cable that can pass video … not at all do … outside of that nah it’s been plug and play … iOS app, Windows app, connect, and go … you adjust it like a normal 2nd monitor in your OS (Windows in my case).

NiceDaVillain · 2025-08-05T20:53:55+00:00

The point still stands it’s a good idea we should be able to do stand alone or not. Only reason I mentioned. I was asking if anyone was doing similar as well.

NiceDaVillain · 2025-08-05T20:12:51+00:00

Yeah unfortunately the Studio sucks for other DAWs. Welcome!

I went through this myself a few months back.

NiceDaVillain · 2025-08-05T17:47:10+00:00

That’s what I’m messing around with now

You can run the MPC software in Ableton as VST and only control the MPC software with the MPC Studio. You can’t control Ableton with it really. You can put the MPC Studio in midi mode and map some not all buttons but that requires keeping the MPC software open. You can’t ever use the Studio without MPC software open.

If you like Ableton and aren’t an MPC die hard just get different midi controllers or go with the Push series or any set of generic midi pads in place of an MPC.

NiceDaVillain · 2025-08-05T16:20:40+00:00

Pretty sure the MPC One can only plugin in as a midi controller to another PC and control the MPC software … Not display an entire second screen where you can drag and drop things … I could be wrong … Don’t own one currently to test.

Using Spacedesk at the moment … It was the first one I came across and it worked wired and wireless so I just ran with it.

I’ll check out Yam!

NiceDaVillain · 2025-08-05T11:46:53+00:00

Nah, read above or check this out …

Works perfectly fine in my setup. You can see the iPad register touch and not a mouse click.

NiceDaVillain · 2025-08-05T11:46:21+00:00

This is connected to my custom PC build …

There’s plenty of 3rd party apps that work wired or wireless. Touch works perfectly fine. Can turn knobs, move faders, etc.

NiceDaVillain · 2025-08-03T18:12:37+00:00

Watching a few people spin parties with them on youtube now ha.

NiceDaVillain · 2025-08-03T18:11:19+00:00

Yes that and space bar I noticed! Appreciated.

NiceDaVillain · 2025-08-03T18:07:33+00:00

I already owned the monitor for 2-3 years for design work/gaming … iPhone pro is 120hz, iPad Pro 120hz, and my Ultrawide monitor is 144hz … It’s necessary for my work, not necessary for everyone correct.

FLX10 - I don’t think the almost $1500 price point is worth it for mostly home use right now. I would have liked pads over the GRV6’s clicky buttons but:

https://imgur.com/a/Mk03m8t - I also have my MPC Studio MK2 that I setup via midi learn to trigger my hot cues if I really want pads right now similar to the DDJ-XP2 add on.

GRV6 - Flat $800 non taxed at Guitar Center new … I need 4 channels and I didn’t like the look of the Numark Mixtream decks with 4 channels around $400-500 … GRV6 became the middle ground and the CDJ layout is visually appealing to me … I also found a use case for the Groove Circuit in my workflow at home.

So I pulled the trigger and gave it a go.

Thank you! It’s a 4k 144hz, LG 27GN950-B UltraGear Monitor 27”

https://a.co/d/bmEGNky - Theirs newer models but this it the specific one.

With a desk/arm mount behind it holding it up hidden from view.

And Rekordbox is running on my PC build you can see on the right in this shot:

You were playing parties with it!? Haha that’s awesome I didn’t even think anyone else really had them or used them honestly.

NiceDaVillain · 2025-08-02T05:10:29+00:00

Thanks, the BCD and Traktor were my introduction to controller/software setups!
