I think there are a few DJs on here and Smokes mix made me wonder what he did it on. Interested in what gear you have, post mixes, places you have played?
I’m on a Prime 4. What you got?

Been meaning to try editing mixes in a software package, which protools version/package would I need if it was just for that rather than creating original music etc?
How I’m set up right now listening to parallel universe with my son 
two 1210s and a trm 202, rest of records in my parents garage
Also don’t consider myself a DJ, I just facilitate parties happening really. Never learnt to mix much as I’d rather listen to a bit of everything and blend it, also never really been into the technical side of things and wouldn’t think of myself as particularly musical. I know what I like mind.
Used to make tunes on renoise now very rarely just with an mfb522 run through a monomachine, well fun. So many possibilities but I use it in an admittedly very simple manner as again, not very technical.
Couple links if anyone’s bothered, got a few of you on soundcloud already I think!

2 X 1210s, bought for £450 with flight cases when I first moved to London - still going strong with no maintenance. Built so well.
Afew years ago got the cheapest digital decks I could find, pioneer ddj200 which are good fun and record realty well.
Was putting on a few nights before pandemic but the venue is kaput now.
Done on the digital decks

I love Jimvo’s Mixcloud account. There’s a huge range of electronic goodies on there, everything from ambient 90s sounds to dub techno to atmospheric dnb. I listen to his sets most evenings before bed, it all ticks a lot of boxes for me.

Fun story - I got my 1210s and an a&h xone 32 for 400 quid on ebay in 2012. The username was blockybalboa.
Drove down to a gaff near Watford with my mate and it was Brandon Block. He chucked in a pair of headphones as well. Looked rough as fuck bless him

Loving this DJ mix of calypso funk & soul - if you like Beginning of the End or Cymande, this will float you boat.
The entire My Analog Journal YT channel is pretty rad if you like that sort of sound - dub, funk, soul, arabic, japanese, lovers’ rock, rock steady, bossa nova, samba, etc.

Fairly chilled one
Best bet for fittings cdj’s into here?
Thinking probably brackets into wall maybe, not sure I like the idea of stands tucked under the decks feel like they’re always dead flimsy…
Something like these might work if there’s a bit of space at back? Cheaper than most & still have the clearance between the 1210s & CDJs

Mount your speakers higher up, move turntables wider then cds in the middle?
Speakers at different heights would drive me wild ha
weirdly, i think cdj’s in the middle would actually annoy me more than the speakers at diff heights aha
