HighTopFade's Setup
HighTopFade's Setup Posted on: 05.07.2012 by Rena Estabrook After 18 years of not owning a pair of Technics and a Japanese made Numark, I got back into the hobby late 2009. Fearing unemployment, I knew staying home and playing music is a lot cheaper than all my other extracurricular activities. Also, learning of the existence of Serato Scratch Live makes having music more affordable. Here is my setup back in January 2010.zIkea01.jpg Technics SL-1200GLD #s 269 and 589 Numark PPD DM-1975 Lenovo Netbook 12.1" Rane Serato SL-1 Ortofon OM QBert Realistic Nova 40 Headphone (Vintage modded) Klipsch Promedia Computer Speakers Marathon MA-LT Laptop Stand Mixer needed an upgrade. MP3 files are all over the place in terms of volume. Need a mixer with PFL. I ran into a few bucks. Replaced my Netbook, headphones, and added a Serato Controller. Added/Changed April 2010 IMG_8039.jpg Denon DN-X120 Denon HC-1000s 2009 Apple Macbook Pro 2.53Ghz Sennheiser HD-280 After a short while, I realized I mixed more efficiently on a vintage Numark DM-1650 mixer. Why? Sliding Cue Pan. My Klipsch Promedia speakers died, and needed my Macbook for real work. Added/Changed May 2010 IMG_8058.jpg Acer H223 Monitor 2009 Apple MacMini Server Rane TTM-56 Behringer B3031A AdLib Speaker Stands eBay Monitor Stand/Mount I then got sucked into the idea of using Serato Bridge to make MixTapes. Ah hell, may as well record my faders and upgrade my mixer. Added November 2010 dummies.jpg Rane TTM-57SL Ableton Live 8 | |
| Rena Estabrook 17.02.2014 | Have this DJM-900 with Serato SL2 in rotation. Trying out Serato DJ, but will probably just stick to Scratch Live. WP_20140215_006.jpg |

| Rena Estabrook 05.07.2012 | I wanted silver turntables like back in the day. But really wanted to preserve my limited 1200s and hoard a little with Technics 1200 being discontinued. Added December 2010 1200mk5.jpg Technics SL-1200MK5 Hoarding Technics. Excellent Serato Controller. Added March 2011 dz12.jpg Technics SL-DZ1200 eBay Headshells (old school Stanton OEM) The plot thickens. I ran out of space and left my DZ1200/SL1 setup in my son's bedroom. He became good at mixing and learned how to scratch. His Netbook couldn't run Serato. Back to my old 1200s and Macbook Pro. July 2011 gld111103.jpg Technics SL-1200GLD 2009 Apple Macbook Pro 2.53Ghz Around November 2011, one my Behringer Studio monitors stopped powering on. Being a little upset, I replaced the single monitor with a different brand replacement. Not much until this month. I got a new laptop while passing down my old one to my son. My new replacement kinda blows. It doesn't support Line Level Audio Input without an adapter. I put in my old desktop just to record.

That will probably be it. |

| Rena Estabrook 18.12.2012 | Thanks. The laptop stand is a Marathon MA-LT. |
| Arletha Shino 18.12.2012 | What kind of laptop stand is that? |
| Carlee Pickard 18.12.2012 | The Technics SL-1200GLD's.... wow! Love the setup . |
| Rena Estabrook 18.12.2012 | A little update. Removed the Mac Mini. Replaced the Mackie MR8MK2 Studio Monitor with a matching Behringer B3031A. Matching studio monitors makes the setup much easier to look at. My workaround to get my 2012 13" Macbook Pro to record in stereo was to add a Behringer FCA202 Firewire Audio Interface. Works pretty good and major plus it's powered by Firewire. Added a BBE 882i Sonic Maximizer. It works well with my studio monitors. My son uses it on mobile gigs with his Mackie TH-15a powered speakers. Sounds much better. |
