Steve Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Myself and 2ndHand used to cut with modified BSR direct drive turntables. The first mixer I ever bought was this................... http://www.echigoyamusic.com/used/images/used/389.jpg It's a Vestax 005a and it was CRAP. I was in the process of buying my equipment in stages, starting with this mixer, but then I lost my job and had to sell it. My first ever decks were PDXs but that wasn't until years later.

Chee Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I had a generic Phonic 2 channel mixer - so shitty I can't find a photo of it online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banano Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 (edited) 1 x 1200 and a gemini ps 626 back in '97. I didn't have enough for another 1200 but i was ok, cos i already had another Technics....but one of those hifi ones with the auto start and no pitch control :72_72: oh, and a sapphire stylus that was already some years old by the time I got it. Learning to beatmix was a bit of a shit with that lot. The 'Technics' was soon replaced by a mate's spare soundlab which served for nearly a year until I could afford another 1200. Oh, and my first ever 'upgrade' was gemini's scratchmaster fader :what_smile: . Lying slags - 7 years later and i'm still shit... edit: Come to think of it, (which I do) the mixer was actually a ps626 i :49_49: though what that means in real terms is anybody's guess.

Steve Posted August 23, 2004 Author Share Posted August 23, 2004 LOL. I had the 540 i and I also bought that scratchmaster fader. In fact, the guy who did the D&B mix with me still uses a 626 with the very same scratchmaster fader in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alkatrazz Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 started out with a used setup which was one tech 1200 that was like 11 years old and another tech 1200 that was a little newer and a stanton RM-3s mixer.... Aww man that fader crapped out in a second and the buying of used mixers then began, then i bought a used sk-6f. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted August 23, 2004 Author Share Posted August 23, 2004 The 626? Damn - a loooooong time. I've got two mates that have been DJs for over 10 years but their equipment leaves a lot to be desired. They both have Tech 12's which are fine, but their choice of needles (Stanton 500s) and mixers (626, Stanton SK-1 with glued up fader) leave a lot to be desired!

Dub-Se7en Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 i had a KAM Red dwarf pack. two red BD-180MK2 Belt-drive turntables, and a small 2-channel mixer that was annoying as fcuk cos it had a massive centre dip in the fader. so my mate donated and GMX-5 19" mixer. that i used sideways...
