Will M.D's Setup. Posted on: 26.11.2011 by Marybelle Ver *Edited* A 2012 video/Scratch session.. A lil 2013 setup pic... Ah yeah Caravanning ftw DSCF0873.jpg Story & How it all started... I've always wanted to DJ since I was pretty young, say like 8-9. Well at around the age of 12 I managed to get my first DJ gig at a friends 8th birthday party! Obviously at the time this was pretty epic. My first gig, but I had no gear & only a few cds. So I somehow managed to get together an 8 channel mixer, 2 cd players (of which one was an all in one high stack Sony Hi-fi!), a Pa system, A strobe light which I still to this day have, along with another couple of lights I managed to borrow. This was the first real taste of anything like this I had experienced. Even setting up the gear seemed pretty easy to me, even though it was my first time seeing a lot of the gear , I just remember looking carefully & taking logical steps to put it all together & it all worked! "This is it" I remember believeing, everything just managed to go amazingly. I would just blend in the new tune with the upfaders & everynow & then put the strobe on & the kids would go crazy. I had headphones, but no way of pitching any of the songs, but this didn't matter. It was a great evening , all the kids had fun, including me & still to this day I remember it in such vividness. Ok its only 15yrs ago, but a lots happened since then... I started playing the Bass at the age of 13 & Drums at the age of 14. DJing somehow didn't seem to have its hold over me tight enough at this point. So played the Drums until I was 18 and then bass until I was 21 but at the age of 20 I was offered the oppurtunity I had needed. Some Decks! I still have my bass (Fender Jazz) but she's a bit poorly & needs so major TlC. So the crazyness started just over 7yrs ago when I was 20! I'm now 27 :eek: & DJing is still getting better & better & more fun everyday. Here's pretty much a picture by picture update from early 2004 to the current day 26th Nov 2011. There's one thing i'm sure of, it will definately get more & more interesting as the years progress. I can't wait. Current setup - 2 x Technics 1200, DDM4000 w/ Innofader, MPD24, Conectiv, Xponent, Sennheiser HD-25, Dell Inspiron E1705, Custom OCuk Quadcore Pc. Cubase 5, Torq 2.0.2. The 1st setup Total cost | |

Bit different from a 3 bed detached house, but Its enough size for me & all my gear... Just! So here's a couple of pics of the dj gear, production & design beast (still need to get some decent monitors, looking at the M-audio BX5a as i've heard good things plus they're a bargain). Due to the sunshine coming through the small window that i've not yet got a blind for you can just about see the bargain of the Century on my wall! Only 310 hours used Benq Projector... Ok, its not New 2012, but its new to me & for the bargain price of just |

| Marybelle Ver 10.01.2012 | So I've inevitably moved... But unfortunately & annoyingly Not to Istanbul. My current setup is midi only due to the rest of my gear being stored/used at a friends house. Can't wait to get my innofader back... The 'midi' Setup Pc, Decks & a bit of Kitchen counter! |
| Marybelle Ver 29.11.2011 | They're good fun. Unfortunately they're in Istanbul now! Miss the little buggers & my girl |
| Dorie Scelzo 28.11.2011 | OMFG, those are cute kittens. I always loved playing for my cats, though they tended to sit/sleep on the monitors instead of the tables. I don't have any of them on my gear, but your black cat reminds me of one of mine |

Don't tend to get many of this one, she's always running away Sleeping under the laptop He's got something about just sitting cutely & innocently. Some Serious deep sleep. Checking he wasn't dead :eek: Still sleeping! Admittidely for the last 3 photo's I had moved him to look like this, but he stayed like it for a good 30 mins ! lol |
