    Default Just getting back into it after 25 years

    I mixed back in the late 80s into the early 90s until I was burglarized and lost my tables. I was literally 11 when I started with a couple of gemini 1100's that I bought for 100$ from my cousin. I ran into a video of a dj named DJlady who I believe is from France and she tears it up on some 1200s using software. She got me wanting to mix again... so I'm starting economically with a pioneer ddj sb controller that i bought used on serato dj intro. Everything else I already had since I'm into car audio and home audio. So far so good , but I'm doing basic bpm mixing not messing with the bells and whistles yet. Here's my set up... I really like it. Thanks for looking and please comment , I'd appreciate it.

    I like my controller but I really want the mixing I did back in the day so I pulled the trigger and bought a new system....







    It's a done deal ... these turntables seem to have a pretty nice reputation so I'll give them
    A whirl.

    That's gonna be a nice set-up. That mixer is a LOT of fun (I used and loved it for a couple of years with no problems).

    BUT - you could probably get 2 used turntables for the price of that new one...
    DJ'ing: 2x1200MK2, DJM 850, Dicers, F1, Zomo MC-1000, Sony MDR-v700, i7 Win 10 HP Envy
    Production: Ableton Live 8 and a mouse, Sennheiser HD400, Sony VAIO

    I bought the warehouse resealed which has a small discount so it I saved like 60$ , hope they're ok since they're basically returns that are fully tested and if not I send back for a replacement. The mixer I bought used as well and I saved about $100 or so , it also had a 40 day policy. The stuff gets here tomorrow - I have my controller for sale and already got a potential buyer.

    If you have a choice go for the ST150, S-arm version.

    I keep seeing and reading that straight is better... why do you think curved is better?

    Look at reviews in this model, all claim straight is better for scratching. And if it does damage, we replace, lol.
