I 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.
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 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?
Thanks. I tried mapping the dicers to scroll, load, etc but it is more complicated than just using the keyboard. I am looking at getting either a Denon Hc1000 or a X1. I think a X1 is way more bang for the buck. Hc10000 is cheaper used though.
Looooove my 1200s. The Gemini are pretty champ though. I couldn’t believe how well they performed and I agree, they are easy on the eyes. Can’t beat Technics though.
I went with the X1. At first I thought I made a mistake because I couldn’t figure it out with Serato. After a couple of days of mapping and playing around, I love this thing. X1 + dicers = perfection. I traded my TT04s for a Novation Twitch. Should be here on Monday. I can’t wait to play with that!
