Reply to HighTopFade's Setup

After 18 years of not owning a pair of Technics and a Japanese made Numark, I got back into the hobby late 2009. Fearing unemployment, I knew staying home and playing music is a lot cheaper than all my other extracurricular activities. Also, learning of the existence of Serato Scratch Live makes having music more affordable. Here is my setup back in January 2010.

Technics SL-1200GLD #s 269 and 589
Numark PPD DM-1975
Lenovo Netbook 12.1"
Rane Serato SL-1
Ortofon OM QBert
Realistic Nova 40 Headphone (Vintage modded)
Klipsch Promedia Computer Speakers
Marathon MA-LT Laptop Stand

Mixer needed an upgrade. MP3 files are all over the place in terms of volume. Need a mixer with PFL. I ran into a few bucks. Replaced my Netbook, headphones, and added a Serato Controller. Added/Changed April 2010

After a short while, I realized I mixed more efficiently on a vintage Numark DM-1650 mixer. Why? Sliding Cue Pan. My Klipsch Promedia speakers died, and needed my Macbook for real work. Added/Changed May 2010

Rane TTM-56
Behringer B3031A
AdLib Speaker Stands
eBay Monitor Stand/Mount

I then got sucked into the idea of using Serato Bridge to make MixTapes. Ah hell, may as well record my faders and upgrade my mixer. Added November 2010
