Sticking with the old school....for now.

image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgI just got my set up out of storage after 9 years. I feel like like Encino man. A lot has changed in the dj world during that time. I am trying to learn and soak up as much as I can about new software and hardware before investing any $$. Here is my set up for now. I recently cleaned and tuned up my 05-pro and hooked that up. Nothing fancy...

2 mk-1200s
Vestax pmc-05 & 03pro
Still scratching the vinyl

**more toys, yay!***

Got a Kontrol X1 and novation twitch is on the way after trading with another DJTT member. I made a homemade stand for the X1 and then tonight I was bored so I went through my crates and put some art up. I like it. My wife and kids helped me with my decisions on which albums made the wall.

Playing real vinyl these days is a pretty fancy thing.
Great setup.

Thanks guys. Feels good to be back! I am very inspired by a lot of set ups in this site. I will be definitely spending some cash soon. Cmon tax return!

I'm assuming you play hip-hop (from the scratching comment!). Sound to me like a good set-up for you would be a DVS system, and some Dicers...

There's nothing wrong with old gear. Often they're better than all those "new and shiny thing" anyways

**UPDATE 5/25/13**

I got myself some new toys since I got my equipment out of storage. I'm still not done but I am slowly piecing my set up together. Since my last pic I hooked up my 1200s, although I was really surprised and impressed with the abilities of the Gemini TT04s. They are super tables for the price. If you are on a budget and come across some of these, grab 'em. **I just realized I didn't have the 04s hooked up on the previous pic. I bought those in a package deal with the SL1.** anyways, as mentioned, I hooked up Serato SL1, dicers, and got myself some Tonnoy monitors. I swapped my PMC06 for my 05pro and went to Pep Boys and bought some vinyl to cover the mixers. I like it, makes them feel new. I also added an InnoFader to my 05. That was by far my best investment. For a scratch dj I really see no alternative unless you have the $$ for a high end mixer. Props to InnoFader for a great product. I will be painting soon and constructing a recessed top.

I am still learning how to navigate software rather than flipping records but I am getting a feel for it. Thanks to the DJTT website and community for inspiring an old man to feel young again and to reignite a beloved passion. Thanks for checking out my post guys and gals!

Nice, clean set-up you've got there! That's really all you need.

Are you using the keyboard, or the Dicers for this? I don't know Serato at all, but I bet there's a way to use one of the shifted pages on the dicer (maybe loop roll shift (Green) or Loop shift (Amber) to do it?

Technics and Serato ftw. Those Gemini turntables look nice. I like the platter design.
