how much is that hercules console cost? didn't seem durable tho

the Xone 3D seems like a solid enough hardware. so it's basically a four channel mixer with a CDJ-like panel that runs ableton and traktor? that's awesome!

agreed...way too expensive hehe. and doesnt do justice if only used at home but then again, everything related to DJ'ing is so damn expensive today. and malaysia mark up the prices some more. what to do?!?! heehe anyways, any of you guys have any luck diggin for vinyls locally? or do you buy online?

i have a Final Scratch set if anyone's interested hehe...planning to let it go. i'd rather stick with a vinyl only setup. as for buying online...try Juno or Satellite Records
few places i buy vinyls online.

it's version 1.1 but upgraded to version 1.5 (*ahem* one) so now can run natively on windows instead of linux. all the accessories included (4x RCA cables, the amp unit itself, adaptor and 3 timecoded vinyls (1 is still plastic wrapped...never used before)...planning to sell around RM 600. you interested bro?

PM replied man

deal not yet made...coz blacktrix said he will only have the money around next month or something. and yea, Serato Scratch Live is awesome. is it available in Melaka?
and about turntables...i think you should go to KL man. i know some place here that's selling turntables. you can try Groove Syndicate or Excessive Records. I think they carry new stocks.

well in my personal experience Technics would be a better choice than any other brands. firstly coz of the built...the thing is like a tank. suppose to last you a lifetime. the torque i admit is lower than it's counterparts (Vestax, Numark or Stanton) but it gets the job done. so if you wanna invest in something that won't disappoint, Technics is the way to go. other brand i suggest you to check out are Stanton STR-8 150 and Numark TTX (not gonna recommend Vestax's PDX coz i really hate this turntable...the built quality is terrible and prone to damage coz the body is plastic)...as for your 5K budget, maybe look for second hand decks? you can get a pair of SL 1200 MK2 for approx RM 2500 if you're lucky and spend the rest of your cash on a good mixer and a nice pair of stylus. but brand new should cost you around RM 4000 for a pair (leaves you with RM 1000...barely enough for a good mixer and a pair of stylus).

oh and about the serato...i think a dealer in KL carry it...forgot the name tho, will check it out for you.

how much is a CDJ800 now? altho as an alternative you can look around for CDJ500s. the thing is discountinued from production because it's an old model. but it gets the job done. some of my friend who uses it says it has the best lens lifetime span among all th pioneer models. oh and pornstar...where did you get the SSL? i coudn't find any store that carry Rane here in KL. Sinamex only carry stanton right? and 1.8K is a very good price.

a review would be a great idea. i own FS 1.5 so i can do that part.

hey leng, your nick sounds familiar but cant seem to remember where i've seen it lol. so your into production? awesome! trying to get into it myself. anyone can recommend a good controller to use with Reason or Ableton Live?



i kinda have a bad history with behringer. don't get me wrong, it's a decent product with an awesome price. but the quality just doesn't justify a purchase. i once owned a DJX-400...and it was destroyed in probably a full year of use.

a Pioneer CDJ 100s would be a good choice if you're into mixing...i think because of discontinuation of production the prices has drop tremendously to like RM 1000 each. but if into scratching....get CDJ 800.

i don't think starter kits are good man, what's the point of buying gears if somewhere in the middle you're gonna quit coz your hardware sucks. if the budget is super tight, getting used standard stuff is better than those starter kits.

wow that's a lot of guitar! it's cool man. kinda keeping the Final Sratch anyways coz of limited record funds, vinyls are expensive lol. now i'm downloading tracks off beatport. cheaper and faster

you mean loop a beat?

try this number for Groove Syndicate, 0166070297 (Manissa). She's the main gal there at Groove Syndicate and should hook you up with whatever you need
as for KL you check out Excessive Records, it's near Coronade Hotel. Call Bryan on 0122209931 for more info.

for mixing u can use anything....even those old modded cassette player with variable pitch control can be use for mixing hehe. but yea the choice depends on how much features u wanna get. and the higher up the more features it has. but IMHO nothing beats analog. just get yourself a pair of technics sl1200 turntables and a decent 2 channel mixer....you're set!!!

that's an awesome setup man! really nice gears
and is that an Allen and Heath mixer?
