RichoKidd Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Hey guys,Yes, as the title suggest I am on my way to TAKING OVER THE WORLD!!! of djing, that & I am from Perth, WA.I'm 19 years old, I'm into Hip-Hop, Dubstep & Dance/Club/Party music, I like long walks on the beach. I am yet to own any mixing equipment but I have started to plan my Set-Up, with the first part of my "Build" coming in January.I've put a Stanton 2.1 DJ Lab (2x Stanton T62s, 1x M.212 Mixer, 1x PRO90 H/Ps, 2x 500B Carts). Once I've learnt to use these, & probably after my return from Bali, I plan to go out and purchase Traktor Scratch Pro. After a few months of over time at work, I'll head out and buy a set of Berhinger B212D 12” 550w. That, along with my P.O.S Acer Laptop will be my "Basic/Beginning set up". I'd also like to spoil myself & go and purchase a Traktor X1 ControlYears down the track, after doing Parties & Weddings, I'll look into upgrading pretty much everything in this system. (Probably leave the TTs, unless they're really REALLY bad). I'm thinking new lappy (Macbook Pro), new mixer (Numark M3), new h/ps (beats by Dre.)If you have any suggestions, please feel free to make an inputAND WATCH THIS SPACE FOR MORE UPDATES! Quote

krsjuan Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 i dont get it. seems like youre getting way ahead of yourself. & planning on the h/p youre going to get years in advance. what whati think its good to set goals, but maybe your goals should be perfecting the skill (mixing, scratching,producing etc) and dont concentrate so much on the equipment, as vital as it is.

Jaz Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Yeh it is a bit like that Kyle but the higher you dream the better you will doi meen we all dream of touring and playing to 100,000 people like the worlds biggest DJ's, but shit if i get a residency at a club id be happy Quote

RichoKidd Posted March 10, 2012 Author Posted March 10, 2012 So, I thought I'd update considering it's been a while.I'm still running the same system except I've got A Macbook and some Pioneer HDJ 500's. I've done a few gigs & have finally gotten some business cards made up. My plans have now been more residency focused, gonna record a mix sometime this week for a mixtape Quote
