What gear did you start with and what gear do you have now?

And was it hard to get there?

[Deejaesnafu]

i started with 2 technics 1200s and the mixer was a realistic by radio shack, and a pile of vinyls my friend donated to me to learn with. it was pretty hard to get there....

Started on a friends turntable setup. As for my own gear, I started with a basic midi DJ controller and as digital DJing evolved, so did my setup ...

I started with the original version of this bad boy around 10 years ago...


now I own 2 studios and a record label among other things

[kooper1980]

I started with 2x 1210's, a Gemini BPM250 mixer and 2 Jamo speakers. Im currently using everything in my sig.

I started with a with an X1 MK2 then got an F1 then got a Numark 4 Trak (yeah what a jump) then I got an Z1 then got a VCI-400 . I still have all of the gear and some other junk like a Maschine and a APC mini that I never use. I rotate playing between the NI gear and the VCI-400, haven't played the 4 Trak in a while I miss it a lot. No it wasn't that hard to accumulate all of that stuff. I forgot I also purchased a laptop to dj with I used to use my desktop for dj software, I also use both Serato & Traktor.

Keyboard. Now the list in my sig.

[Irrational Fear]

Started on these two CD-players in 2001 (the BCD-3000 was added much later!)



The CD players were used alongside this mixer and Gemini turntable



The BCD-3000 was added around 2010, first step into digital DJing.

Then moved onto CDJ-900s and a Denon x1600 mixer in 2011. Then swapped the CDJ-900s for the SC-2900s, and also managed to acquire my 1210s, my PDX2000mk2s and a host of other stuff along the way.

The problem I have is that aside from my CDJ-900s I still have every piece of DJ gear I ever purchased, so currently hoarding 4 CD players, 5 turntables, 6 mixers, 2 controllers, and a ton of mobile stuff (lights & sound). I keep saying I need to have a sort out

This is my most commonly used setup these days, with the 2900s normally on the stands:



And for mobile gigs (with two of us):

[Jamzhouse]

I started out with Stanton C304s and a M304 Mixer

Now i have a Mixtrack Pro

Have I gone backwards in life? lol

I started with a friend of mine as punk / independent "DJs".
We brought a huge tower pc and his heavy old school monitor to gigs und ran two instances of winamp into one channel.

Then I got a laptop with winXP and controlling Traktor DJ Studio via keyboard.
And I started hating Windows.

After years of unpredictable blue screens, I switched over to MacOS Tiger (black Macbook) and my bought first controller. The BCD3000 with internal sound interface. This cheap controller introduced me to midi mapping, because of faulty buttons.
I upgraded to Reloop´s Digital Jockey 2 with audio interface. But these buttons were even worse.

So I looked a lot at ebay to finally find a VCI 100 with DJTT´s upgrade kit to FW 1.4! I additionally bought a cheap Audio2 (MK1).
And since then, I´m rocking this gear almost every day.
