hmmm that sounds interesting! do they have one of those for a xone 92 rotary?

Thanx i'm verry happy with it

Well here is the new setup, after selling the CDJ-800's and getting the 2D.

Xone 92R
Xone 2D
Traktor Pro

Not as spiffy as all the new laptop setups, but here's my new / first setup.

They do indeed.

I'm trying to look for examples of good skins. I think someone posted one earlier in this thread. I'll have a look and edit this post if i find it.

EDIT: Found the examples i was looking for in a different Xone 92 filters thread.

Here you go. I think they work pretty well for costing $59. Problem i find is getting the design right. The tools they provide are good but it's still tough to get it exactly right not knowing what the end outcome will be.

I'm very fond of this setup. Probably because I had the exact same setup myself when I first started off 5 years ago

2 1200 MK3D's and PCV 275? if I'm not mistaken?
Great turntables and a very solid mixer. Still have mine as a backup unit.

Correct, except they're the MK5s. I really love the mixer, just feels smooth and solid.

oops, should have known with the markers along the pitch fader.
An even nicer set up so. Absolutely love those kill switches.

alright, so i got it all hooked up and some kind of arranged today. it's not that tidy yet, and i'm especially unhappy with the lots of cables that are just in the way of everything, but it's working, and i'm able to record sets and all on it






feature list:

13" macbook pro running traktor scratch pro
audio 8 dj soundcard
2x technics sl-1200 mk2 (for controlling decks a & b)
vestax pmc-50a mixer
numark stealth control (for controlling decks c & d)
good old sennheiser hd25 headphones

the furniture is from ikea... i like it very much, only the mixer is a little too big to fit onto it nicely. my old one was a little smaller, and fit in perfectly, but i had to replace it in favor of four-channel-mixing

i also take this setup out with me when i go djing in clubs etc. and what i like about it, is that it's very flexible. you can have your minimal setup, controlling two decks with the stealth control, you can have a classic turntable setup controlling two decks, and you can have the full-featured four-channel killer setup. of course the latter is my preferred option

i always wondered whats on the serato vinyls... a sinus? if u listen to it what is it? bright? low? multiplefreqs? or is it something else?

dj_macgyver, you've got me super-jealous with that pmc-50a! That thing looks sick!

well i don't know the exact specs for serato, but for traktor scratch it's basically a 2khz sine wave on both channels, with a 90° shift on one of them. i don't know how they encode the position though, i suppose it's a kind of amplitude manipulation on both channels. if you listen to it, it sounds kind of like the sound oldschool dialup modems used to produce.

serato uses 1khz or maybe 1.2khz carrier signal.

the "old" finalscratch used a 1khz carrier and changed the amplitude on one of the two channels to encode its position.

it's fun to swap the vinyls of the systems finalscratch vinyls on traktor scratch lead to -50% playback, and +100% vice versa

yeah it's a nice mixer, but this one is not in the best condition unfortunately. it's working, but the faders aren't moving very smooth, and one of them is actually broken (missing the right channel when moved to the very top). the knobs for the gains are also pretty much done...

it's been in heavy club use (in a local club that doesn't exist any more - the name of the club is hand-carved into the surface...) and was very dirty when i got it. i've already cleaned it internally and on the surface, but i will still have to replace some parts before it's completely back to it's best form...

the advantage though is that i got it in exchange for a little favor from some buddies of mine, didn't cost a penny
