My setup, barely weeks old.

I bought the whole damn thing without even knowing how to use them. Now slowly getting the hand of it.

A bit of an overkill for a beginner according to most of my friends. I'm ordering a pair of Technics 1210 Mk5s soon.

Nah this is my setup.. Only other place I've posted is Friendster / Facebook

I'm in investment banking, single and no I don't have rich parents supporting me

But I do have 18 hour days

Added on September 10, 2007, 11:36 pmFirst came the dodgy structure




Then this foam thing that felt like my old pillow




Then only had home theatre so used that for sound LOL!




The with each paycheck the improvements started to show




And now I probably know about 1% of what people in this forum already know

Added on September 11, 2007, 5:55 pmno, i just use it as a mixer?

channel 1 - left cdj
channel 4 - right cdj
send/return - efx1000

channel 2 & 3 - soon to be SL1210 Mk5s

i've got the roland edirol to record from mixer to PC if thats what you mean but thats just using the normal audio cables

BTW: Has anyone a dedicated PC or built one for music? Currently debating whether to get a new PC or Mac Pro which is quite expensive but if its worthwhile then i'll consider. Sigh, two expensive hobbies cars and music.

Still deciding on the 1210s cause I'm after the vinyl experience but lack of supply in KL puts me off.

Should I just get one more CDJ1000mk3 and 1 Technics 1210mk5

Speed: No, that's just something I use to mess around with stuff. I use them separately, they only share the speakers but thats the old layout. Now there is no PC in that room - I use the net in my home office - once I do decide on that new Mac then I'll most probably put it there.

Porn - Serato is something I have been considering, but I don't know who would have stock in KL. Been rather busy these past few weeks, little time to think about gear.

Nah not yet. I looked at Rane's website earlier and Sinamex wasn't listed as the distributor, instead some guys in PJ. I know Sinamex has Torq though..

I think you'd need to buy for it to work or else they'd be outta business by now

No, not really into trading other than for my own account but more towards advisory

Dude,

You still have the CDJ800?

Any idea where to get an EFX500 / EFX1000

I was about to get a the last Serato unit available at Mercoms but my other hobbies are way too expensive - got hit by huge huge bills for my cars recently so music would have to wait.

On a separate note, I did venture into old school LPs - bought a Pro-Ject turntable from Tong Lee and the sound is pretty wicked. Now listening to old school songs to unwind.

Quick question for all you DJs out there - What mixer do you guys use?

Is there such a thing as a six channel mixer? Just curious.

EDIT: Nevermind, found the DJM-1000

DJM-600? I wouldn't have a clue bro, currently using a DJM-800 with two CDJ1000Mk3s.

For those in the know, how reasonable are these prices - Pioneer CDJ1000Mk3 for RM4,300+ each, Pioneer EFX-1000 for RM2,900 and Technics SL1210Mk5 for RM7,400 for two including slipmats, stylus.

IMHO, if you already have it then just use it cause no reason why you can't use different genres of music (especially at my very beginner level).

Granted its not feature packed like more higher end mixers but basically you're just essentially mixing the sound from one channel with another with your crossfaders and up/down channel faders and you have your 3 band EQs.

I admit the layout is more for battle/scratch DJs but nothing you won't get used to after awhile. If you have it, use it. That's just what I think - I'm still extremely new to this so I'm giving you a truly truly layman's point of view.

I play noise unfortunately =(

How much would the 400s be?

Faster save money then can buy my DJM800

Christmas came early this year

Basically CDJs 2 and 3 share channels 2 and 3 with the turntables with the latter hooked up as phono while the CDJs via digital/line input so swapping between gives me flexibility if I ever need to (which I doubt!)

It felt a lot more convenient having 2 different tracks cued as well as other loops/effects on hand plus three seemed like an unlucky number lol

the KRKs rock and for their size would put any speaker to shame. the alesis i haven't had a chance to really max out their full potential plus they are still new

Nah, I don't really, still new at this.

I just liked the idea to be honest.

You should get the KRKs, they are relatively inexpensive.

TULL - none mate, maybe when I finish moving.

SPEED - sorry if you think that way, feel free to come over and use my gear

Ah damn shame. Cause my friends all leave their gear here (not DJ but guitars, etc cause the room although small is soundproof) and once I move into my new place, half of the top floor will be soundproof for music. I guess I just enjoy music, as much as an amateur/layman is able to.

Where are you based then? Overseas?

What are you using for now then?
