Check out my thread on Records For Sale. Great for those interested in scratching. Anybody scratch here?

Get a pair of 2nd hand Technics 1200 if you're not sure what to get. No regrets even if you found out this isn't the hobby for you.

Anybody here buy albums on vinyl? Not just strictly for DJing purposes.

Rane Serato and Stanton's Final Scratch are not the only solution for digital DJing. By the way, they cost too much!

DJDecks.be is the cheapest solution. A very stable software with good support! With that, you have the option of playing real vinyl unlike CD turntables.

2nd-hand/used Technics SL-1200 & Vestax PDX2000 turntables are cheap (<RM1500) and last longer than newer Numark or Stantons. Same concept when buying a used European car compared to a new local model.

Below is my setup for MP3/Digital DJing:
1 x Audiotrak Maya 44 PCI soundcard
1 x AMD 1.2 Duron computer
2 x Vestax PDX2000 turntables
1 x Vestax PMC07 mixer

PM me if you're looking for 2nd-hand turntables & mixers. Will try and work something out within your budget.

For a budget setup similar to Rane's Serato I use:

DJDecks software - RM150
2 x Serato timecode vinyl - RM100
1 x Audiotrak Maya 44mk2 soundcard - RM500
2 x turntables
1 x mixer

The performance of the software depends on your machine. Best part is you get to play vinyl & mp3 without extra cost. The soundcard is also good enough for recording mixes.

Timecoded CDs can be copied from the original and played like normal.

[PIMPIN]: Nice setup you have.

What music do you play? Any mixes online for us to download?

How's the MAYA 44 USB with Mixvibes? What are your PC specs and are there any issues with latency, etc?

What about using the RCA Master outputs on the mixer to connect your amp?

Anyone know what's the current price for Serato and Rane TTM56 in Malaysia?

What's the important message? Sorry, but I can't see it.

RCA master outs L&R should go to your speaker set. Regardless 5.1 or not, music is only stereo which is Left & Right

For recording, use the Left & Right TRS Master outputs to connect to another Left &Right input of a soundcard. Now that your Maya is used for Virtual DJ, it's time for another soundcard. I'm currently using this http://www.roland.com/products/en/UA-25/ for recording.

You might need another computer for recording depending on your current pc's spec

Anyone know where can I get these?

VESTAX PDX 2000 REPLACEMENT FOOT
VESTAX PCV RANGE REPLACEMENT CROSSFADER for PMC-07

Any information used or new would be great as I'm having trouble trying to purchase this from Acoustic & Lighting System Sdn Bhd. Seems like they're no longer Vestax distributors.

1k is a decent price for sl1210. On which to buy (sampler, multichannel mixer, turntable), it depends on which route you're taking. Are you interested in DJing or producing?

Hope you don't mind me answering.

To connect an effector to an 07, it has to go direct ie; mixer master out -> efx -> amp

Session-In: can be used to plug in other instruments like mics (if you ran out of mic inputs),guitars but won't work for effectors

What speakers are you using?

Any retail shops in KL or PJ that stock Serato?

Wonder what drove him to compete and how did he get runner-up status.
