So fast forward a bit and I’ve been busy… A pair of midifighters and a pair of 1210’s have been added in the last 6 weeks so the table wasn’t big enough anymore.
I’ve got out a new table top from 18mm MDF which basibally sits on top of the original table - I’ll fit some Dzus fasteners to make it solid but quickly demountable soon.
I wanted the set up to be tight and not to sprawled out so had to think about putting stuff at differnet hights to to make the table as small as possible. So I picked up a Sefour CDJ stand on ebay cheap and added a bit of alloy to make a midifighter stand. It works great and really sets the midifighters at the ideal hight for me.
I chopped up a computer monitor stand, drilled it and made a laptop holder out of it. The intention being to open up the set up rather than just having my head bobbing up and down behing the flight case laptop stand.
So, next up is building a DJ room in the garage to house the set up - then I can make it bigger with more toys
It is solid but; I’m slightly worried about the MDF bowing with the weight of the 1210’s, so I have a plan…
I’m going to fit two lengths of 20mm metal black enamel electrical coduit to the MDF to brace it secured with distance saddles. I’ll screw another set of distance saddles to the original table top so the braced mdf will sit nice and solid on the original table.
I raced this in 2010 & 2011. It’s the only bike that I’ve kept out of all the different bikes I raced and I’m putting it on the road this year, which is scary… I haven’t ridden on the highway since 2002, the only time I was ever on two wheels from 2003 - 2011 was on a track.
does your laptop stand interfere with your access to the left turntable? other than that i like ur set up, esp the midi fighters. how does it stand up to sum hard core button mashing sessions though?
Left turntable is fine to get into the arial shot makes it look way tighter than it is.
The midi’s are solid, the CD stand was made for the weight of full size cdj’s. They are screwed onto the mdf with 4 M5 bolts and wing nuts - well up for a mashtastic thrashing
Might look at ikea extending legs instead of the conduit idea.
The laptop shelve is is currently a piece of mdf I cut and shaped - it fits the Dell 15" laptop I’m using at the moment. However I’ve got a Citronic CDJ metal shelve built up with a vesa mount on it the will simply clip on / off when I get a mbair 13 to replace the Dell.
Err, so I’m no Xonetacular… but I did create some fresh looking decks this week.
I bought a one owner original boxed pair of Mk2’s a few weeks ago and I want to keep them looking fresh - UV fading on 1210’s always looks pretty obvious to me so I’m trying to avoid it.
I found a pair of brass faceplates on ebay which unsuprisingly nobody else bid on :eek:
Not bad for about £30 all in The decks are immaculate so I felt it was better not to mess with them until they actually need work done - the face plates pop off in 2 seconds flat.
Cheers, I became a Ducati junkie after I sold my R6 superstocker and bought the SS to race … I was privileged enough to be invited in to the garage at the Barcelona GP last summer, one of the most awesome Saturday nights of my life
The midifighters are deckalized in A&B decks in the Scratch pro. I like using them to twist up the underlying track before tranistions + increasing the intensity of build ups.
Great toys, and a lot easier / faster to use than the effects decks on the S4.
It says evolving in the title and thats whats going on
Found it hard to practice in the living room with the family trying to watch tv etc. I’m lucky enough to have a double garage and since I’m not racing now I don’t really need all the space for motorbikes so I’ve built a room in one half of the garage. It’s not full length as I still need space for bicycles 'n stuff but it’s big enough to play in and party a bit.
Future mods include replacing the metal on the shelve with plexiglass, spraying the stand white, adding a cable management and installing an ADJ Jellyfish on the ceiling (I’ve already put a power point up there for it)
Dope looking setup!! And i’m so so so so so so so so jealous of the your Duc. I’ve got my M1, but I live at home and my Mom would kill me if I picked one up . I’ve always wanted either a Streetfighter, or 848.
It’s an aircooled SS I had in a twins series.
