i think DJ Ideaz gave up turntablism for paintballing .. i think he' selling his own set of turntables ... for RM4000 for 2xTechnics.. if any1 interested, kindly visit his website at www.skratchboarder.com

never heard of them .. sorry

www.youtube.com

check this guy .. DJ TUTOR on youtube.. you can get lots of information from him

you probably don't need turntables and mixer etc because you are looking to making own tracks etc
so i would recomended that you start off with music production software etc.
if you want to make music/beat etc .. go for audio editing software like Fruityloop,CoolEdit ..then you can arrange your sounds beats .. to make music

as for me
i'm just making noise .. lol i don't make music
yes .. sound manipulation .... scratching etc ...
but depends what you want to produce..if you want to produce music .. means you have to arrange your sound/beat according to bar

how i was started was with one lousy mixer and two laptop .. running illegal software ... mixing ..
i first started to do beat matching ... as in same beat but not same bar ..
then i went on to learn to count bars with the beats..
so eventually i moved on to one lousy turntables and one lousy mixer ..
.... cut story short.. i finally got my proper setup after 2 years ++

my gears as in my signature

as i said i don't make music
i just make noise and alot of scratching
since i came back from australia i'm unable to set up my set in my own place ..
so not much happening... never really have a proper chance to do proper mixing ..
and i suck at scratching.. so i don't bother to do any recording yet ..

first of all .. learn the theories behind mixing .... beat matching, bar counting ....understanding song structure
go to youtube.com and look for DJ TUTOR ... he got over 1000+ videos..
and then once you got your theory, try using software to learn first...
hardware will come later when you think you got the theories right and would like to proceed...

depending on your budget and your style of mixing ...
hip-hop/rnb .. .you would want a hardware with vinyl control
other type of genre .... any job/vinyl hardware.. don't really matter as long as you can slow and speed up music ..

good choice ..

the other day i was at the "software" shop .. *wink* and i saw alot of DJ/Audio related software ... if those want to try mixing etc, go there buy those "combo" DVD and then try all software until you feel comfortable with one ..

westokan , how's your setup ah? can play? or still got the "beep" problem?

bring my deck? hahha giler..
it's like 20 KG bro .. moving it around is not an option ...
U46DJ still ok la.... kecik jer

ok maybe not 20 ... but 19KG ... the weight is for sure much heavier than SL1200

RM6400? *pengsan* ... that's 3months salary of an average joe ....
that without spending a single cents ..
thank god i got my set completed before i came back ..

Lol i love my camo stuff ..
i got a camo technics record holder too .. i would get it if i have 60++ records
i think i got like only 20 records ... i'm so stingy i w ouldn't want to buy vinyl

if your computer speakers are powered by itself ... you can
powered speakers means those that need power plug to power the speakers
then you might need a RCA(red/white) cable to 3.5MM jack (earphone jack) ... depending on your speaker's jack
it might be RCA(red/white) at the back of your speakers/woofer .. so you need RCA to RCA





how do you know for sure u can't ? unless it's not powered ... then maybe.. but still i'm sure u will hear "something" from the speakers but probably not loud enough

from what i can see from your speaker's instruction manual, your speakers has a hard wired 3.5MM jack for you to plug into your computer
if you want to use your speakers with your DJ setup , you will need these cable to convert that 3.5MM into 2 RCA

then you can plug into your main output of your mixer .. into your speakers

it's a powered speaker
it will go as high as your computer's sound ..
but do not output your mixer till it's in the RED ZONE ..
keep at just touching red ...

you can put full volume on your speakers .. but control it with your mixer ..
of cuz .. all speaker has their limit, don't blow it

i not sure .. lowyat might have it ...
there is no short name
female 3.5MM Jack to RCA ... shortest
