KSheehan Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) 2 x Pioneer CDJ 1000 MK3 2 x Technics 1210 MK3 (only one on that picture) 1 x Pioneer DJM 600 1 x Pioneer EFX 1000 2 x KRK Rokit RP6's 1 x Sennheiser HD25 SP That setup on the picture is in my old flat but I have since moved and have removed the 1210 so that the EFX 1000 sits on the workstation. My 1210's are back in their boxes in my bedroom. Need to convert vinyl to MP3's and sell the decks. One of the tasks I never seem to get round to. Nice setup man!!! See you've got KRK's as well Are they not very low no??? Seems like they'd be bellow ear level and out of the 'sweet spot'??

Ian_k Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Nice setup man!!! See you've got KRK's as well Are they not very low no??? Seems like they'd be bellow ear level and out of the 'sweet spot'?? these krk's any good?? iv got yamaha MSP5'S which i think judge jules and radio1 use, and they sound good, but heard good reports about the KRK'S. ear level, ideally pointing at an angle towards the ear, both symetrical is definatly the best way to get the sweet spot.

Uberduck Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I was look at those deck stands. Is it quite sturdy? I made it! Piece of cake really and it is sturdy as you like! Got the bloke at B&Q to cut them to size'ish and made some minor adjustments at home before fixing them together with screws. Job done. In reference to the KRK position; yeah they would ideally be at ear height but for a bedroom setup that height is fine. I really rate them as they are dead loud and crisp as a frosty December morning! I have the volume of the speaker turned right down and the master level on my DJM600 is only at half volume. Still pretty loud. Would be ideal for house partys volume wise if you required ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uberduck Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Yeeeeeeah well at Homebase we do it with a smile I'm sure you do Simon! The guy at B&Q wasn't too impressed with my demands. I had a cue the length of Hadrian's Wall being me whilst he cut it all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tremor Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Does that actually work then? Ive been thinking about cleaning some of my records.. Just never looked at what to use.. I'd be worried about damaging them with the wrong sort of cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Tis the maxim calender, yeah its cheaper than specialist vinyl cleaner stuff, Lighter Fludis recomended in the book How To DJ...Properly, does the same job, tis a good antistatic.

Tremor Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Cool.. might give that a go sometime... you use a special cloth to clean them as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Yep this is what I use (you can see them by the mixer in my picture) http://shop.aktiscomputing.co.uk/record-cl...ivery-135-p.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uberduck Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 recomended in the book How To DJ...Properly, does the same job, tis a good antistatic. Is that the Bill Brewster one? I have that. Very good read. Oh, I've also just purchased the new updated version of 'Last Night a DJ Saved My Life' for my April travels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonross46 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I saw that 'Last Night .... ' book in my local bookshop. What are these books about exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 This is the history of the rise of the DJ, from the humble "talking jukebox" origins of radio disc jockeys to today's DJ superstars who travel the world earning rock star salaries with a fanbase to match. How to DJ... properly is simply how to dj all the basics with input from loads of big dj's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emy Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I learnt to DJ from that Actually no, I just taught myself, but I did read that. I don't know how I learnt to be honest, I don't DJ properly. I have a ridiculous method of mixing but it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonman Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Jason, are your CD players mounted at the same height? They also look very high! You must be tall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
