Might as well post my setup (although I thought I'd posted before)...

BAF-AXE, you might recognise these mate

2x KAM Direct Drive Decks (I know, I'm sorry)
Numark DM950 Mixer

Had them for about a year, and tbh, haven't used them as much as I'd hoped. I got some new Numark CS-1 cartridges for Christmas, and they don't skip as much as the old Stantons when cueing.

I've also just treated myself to a Numark DM1002 MkII mixer after talking to my step brother about kill-switches. Was searching for the 1002 on eBay as my mate has one... found one for a bargain price so hit BIN.

Can't wait

Aye, yeah t'was me

I bought a load of vinyl from Smiley just before Christmas actually. I think he's more CD orientated... the wuss

A friend of mine has some Ortofon Concorde carts and they're sweet, but I couldn't justify spending £150 on a pair of carts for these, so bought the CS's.

They're suprisingly good. I had to have the old carts (they were the Stanton 500's that you probably had and were getting a bit worn) with a load of weight to keep them in the groove. The Numarks are set at 2.5g and I don't think they've skipped once.

What's the difference between the CS's and CCs?

Yours are Carl Cox edt, the otehrs are scratch perverts edt.

Other than that im not sure tbh

pffft

ive got thousands of tunes on cd thats why cd decks are my first priority

gonna be getting a vinyl deck in a few months though (would rather get 1, havent really got room for 2) so it'll all be complete then

IceAx · 12 Jan 2007 at 09:53

Knew my decks would be still kicking round Smiley

BTW have a few duplicates after i picked those 122 tunes up!

They were a bargain got some corkers!

ooh nice, will chat to you on msn if thats ok?

agw_01 · 15 Jan 2007 at 18:42

Got my new mixer...

Only had a quick play, but the kill switches are a sweet tool to have. SQ seems on the up too, which is always good. I'm pretty impressed with it, especially for what I paid.

Smiley Man · 16 Jan 2007 at 15:28

finally

CDJs into channels 1 and 4 on the mixer, PC running traktor, ableton and virtual dj into channels 2 and 3
hoping to add some vinyl decks in the near future to finish it off

edit - new pics

"andy" · 16 Jan 2007 at 15:42

Hurrah! He asked how I found out about him and I mentioned your name but he didn't remember you :/

Only just seen this, he would have known my ebay username

Have you collected yours and set up etc?

hardc0re_tid · 16 Jan 2007 at 17:04

try virtual DJ its easier imo

"andy" · 16 Jan 2007 at 17:44

if its similar to virtualdj its easier than using real decks mainly because it beatmatches for you :/

its a mess on using a mouse like but with a controller it should be easy

oh yes its a lot easier than real decks, although i cant talk really seeing as vinyl is harder than cd to beatmatch with

LOL how true - no nice LCD dipslay telling you bpm or even beat
matching automatically. Wait till you try it all on your own
