Topic: The evolution of the setup

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

These are in order.

Believe it or not, in the last year, I have gigged extensively with *all* of these setups. The first setup, I'm still in love with. 2 xp10s, a laptop and VDJ. Seriously, what more do you need. That is also the setup that had EVERY club owner raising an eyebrow. There is nothing shiny and nothing spinning so is that guy really DJing? Oh well, I bought the DZ1200 and ever since then they don't give me a second look. All of the old timers on this forum have seen these pics already. The newbies can see how I've evolved. The 4th link in the evolution may never get posted here:

Matter of fact, the first setup that was all hand built still sits in my garage. Seriously. I have absolutely no use for a xp10 + latop wooden coffin but I still have it. I just can't bring myself to sledgehammer this thing and make some room in my garage. Go figure.

yeah i wish santa dropped off all this gear. that would be a lot easier than paying for it. i'm still operating at around break even for the year with all the crap i've had to buy. but look at the bright side,... i have spinning platters and they are shiny,.. shinier than most.

"The first setup, I'm still in love with."

Me too. Hands-down the best VDJ experience you can get if you're not into Vinyl/CD emulation.

I love your first setup.

But what was in the back of the wooden case? was it empty?

@lej78480, you can do whatever you want with those pictures. just make sure people know they are mine.

And yes, I still have a soft spot for that old xp10 + laptop wooden controller board. that's why I keep it around, taking up space in my garage. Matter of fact, as soon as I get accelerated video working, it may become my video mixing table alongside my DZ1200 mixing coffin. That would be quite a setup (and quite a pain to lug around).

Dude man the set up is sick - I'm looking into the SL-DZ1200 myself bit man avg about 800 a pop- are they worth it? How have you intergrated them into VDJ? TCV w/ a MAYA like config?
 
Posted Tue 10 Jan 06 @ 7:41 pm
Nice, I use a Maya44USB with and TCCD with my DZ1200. Works like a champ, although on some days I wish I had TCV and turntables. But at least with CDs you dont have to worry about wearing out your needles, and your TCV.
