Reply to starting my setup
starting my setup My name is arsman... well, this is not my real dj name as I am just starting out and new in this community
s. so far, here is my current set-up. Just my trusty 2011 21.5" imac alesis q25 that was given to me by my wife. a cheapo starwars R2D2 headset. and a gopro hero 3 silver mounted on an IKEA kitchen timer. The thing is, I wanted to learn how to dj a long time ago, and well, its just now that I have the money to buy my first gear. reading all the reviews and watching all the videos, my current options are getting
I don't see myself setting up for clubs. what I am aiming for is events such as weddings and other parties. Next week, I will be travelling with my wife, so gear acquisition will wait till I return (which will be a week of sleepless evening s). will update you guys once i made my decision. *update 061413 So I went to China the other week. after i got home, I went back to the store that sells the 2nd hand TTs, said it was already sold. so now I contacted the seller of denon mc2000 and got me one. Also got me a new pair of headset and got my college days laptop out of retirement, which constantly needs power supply. i was believeing of buying a mbp for christmas but i am also looking at getting an traktor f1 first. will also be getting a pair of monitors after the mbs. I am now in the process of learning how to dj. so far i'm having a hard time, but i am enjoying every bit of it. UPDATES OCTOBER 2013 So i ditched my controller. bought an A6 back in september, bought the Techs 1200 mk 2 for my birthday and the dj tech was a gift from my parents. I am using the traktor f1 as transport controls and to select cue points. am saving up for another techs 1200 so by december I can already get one. Also considering a traktor x1 mk 2 so when I so not want to power up the techs, I will have an x1/f1/mixer only setup. lol I am still missing a pair of speakers and a laptop. been practicing scratching and after a few days of practicing straight, I believe I can properly do an 1 click flare. *Update November 11 RGAS continues and but this time, I did not spent anything. Traded my traktor f1 for an x1 as I do not really use the f1. bought it in a whim. should have bought the midi fighter or the x1 in the first place. Its only a mk1. I'm going to get a mk2 when it becomes available here. UPDATE DECEMBER 3 I promised myself I'd get something at the end of the year (either a pair of monitors or an mbp) So i was not spared by black friday and cyber monday. I purchased a midi fighter 3d from DJTT (will be arriving on December 4) and a pair of KRK RP5 G3. sorry for the crappy iphone pics. its new to me so i haven't come around it. here it is with the others. This is my first speakers so really had to figure out how to position them My Techs are just below the table. I have no space since I bought the speakers. so now I have to find a new table. and Ikea expedit is not really available here locally. so the x1 and mixer will do for now ANOTHER DECEMBER UPDATE Midi fighter 3D came in the mail today! I was deciding on the spectra when the black friday sale came. with greetings from dj ranking s and free sticker. Thanks Ean and the guys working hard at DJTT Cant wait to go home and unbox! but its still 4:00 pm and i get off at 7 update! before the year ended, got myself a traktor s2 mk2. i was going for the s4 mk1 but I went with the s2 instead. haven't able to try traktor dj in my iphone as i haven't got a connector cable. my turntable and mixer is just off the side. current gear list: 1 Technics SL1200 mk2 1 DJTech DIF1S 1 Traktor Audio 6 1 Traktor S2 mk2 1 Traktor X1 mk1 1 MF3D pair of KRK RP5 G3 1 Alessis Q25 and a bunch of usb/midi/RCA cables Thanks for dropping by. -E | |
