Aliholden's DJ Pushplay set up/cave of man
Posted on: 19.06.2013 by Carlie Przygocki
So here's my setup.
Let me know that you believe.
I need to get a few cables to plug serato and Traktor into my DJM 600 (which is awaiting a new fader)
Got all of this really cheap too, apart from the MacBook Pro, that was brand new.

1 turny and a Stanton mixer came delivered in a roadcase for $500 2 years ago (sold roadcase for $150)
Maschine was $350 2 years ago
F1 and KRKs haggled down to $400 the other week
Desk $10 from ikea (second)
Shelf $10 from ikea (second)
Vestax PMC-07 Pro $230 delivered from the states 2 years ago
Serato $400 4 years ago
Traktor, needles and headphones were technically free. Bought them and a terrible quality dj set up for 450 with some records, so kept the first 3 and sold everything else on for the same amount
Second turny $150 from someone who actually used it as his record player lol
Pioneer DJM 600 $80 as it needs a new cross fader
Numark Mixtrack pro $100 (not pictured)
MPK-61 was traded for a korg padkontrol which I paid $50 for.
Monitor was $10

What I'm getting at with all this is it's pretty easy to have a nice set up on a budget. It may take time and a lot of effort keeping an eye on trade websites and eBay for some bargains, and doing some wheeling and dealing, but it's totally worth it.
Now I just need to figure out how to produce stuff now I have the tools!

To the right of this is a huge retro gaming collection too, which is ever expanding...

Tell me what you all believe!

Yeah that's the new Novation Launchpad right? I'll get there in the end...
What do you use instead now?

To be honest I'm still trying to find my DAW I want to use. I use ableton for doing mashups, but still using tutorials to use it live in the bridge, and to produce on it. I've also got Komplete and trying to work maschine into Traktor too, but need to wrap my head round it. Problem is I've dropped myself in at the deep end and have too many toys and no idea how to use them!

Thanks for your comments too

I use SSL for DJing and having a jam at home, but if I want to do a remix of something I prefer to do it live in Traktor. I will eventually get my head round Traktor fully to DJs on it as well but it's user interface is so messy and complicated with that compared to SSL which is really clean. Plus most clubs have permenant serato installs these days, not Traktor and as a club manager it's really annoying and disrespectful to go into a club and start ripping the gear apart, and it adds wear and tear on the RCAs inputs and cables. So I use serato, it's easier all round


Thanks for the comments too, please continue
