turntables

[x-squizet]

i have been doing some research on turntables i wanted to know which 1 should i get 4 just starting out.

Numark dj-in-a-box

Numark Battle Pak

or should i just wait and save up and get the technics sl-1200

 

[AmmoBeatz]

save up and get the 1200s u wont be sorry

It all depends. What do you want the turntable for, scratching or just for playing vinyl? Either way I say go with the 1200's because they're solid, but Numark and Stanton are decent cheaper alternatives.

save for the 1200's if ur gonna go into DJing seriously (scratching, mixing, battling). but if its jsut to sample stuff and DJing parties then DJ in a box is a good cheap alternative

theres a stanton pack you can get which is phat value. i forget the name but check the stanton site. its cheap and looks good.

otherwise id get vestax pdx 2000. they are only a little more expensive than the technics 1200 and are way better.

btw, if you want to be a scratch dj you need a SHARP CUT IN POINT on the fader of your mixer.

thanx alot i will probley save up for the 1200 but i got another question what is an sharp cut in point

the 1200s are tanks.. your best buy.. cuz if you dont wnat them anymore, theyre the easiest things to sell (i put my extra set of 1200s on ebay and they were gone in less than two hours).. if u get dj in a box, and u dont want them anymore, ur gonna have to give them away. right now i'm cutting on technics 1200s mk5's.. i had my old ones for 8 years with no problem.. just replaced them cuz i had extra money lying around.. i'm gonna get the technics cd table in early may.. it's $1200 bucks for one tho.. but i need one for sampling off of cds, and so that i can cut people's voices without having to get vinyl cut, might as well get the best... oh.. and i do have final scratch which allows u to manipulate mp3's with a turntable and a laptop, but it is not that good for skratching purposes, just mixing.

sharp cut in point is good for cutting.. basically the fader can cut the sound on and off rather abruptly as opposed to the slow gradual blending fader.. however, most mixers above 200 bucks have a knob where u can adjust this feature.

however.. your record hand is the most important feature to develop.. anyone can click like a wild monkey.. but record hand movement is where all the funky cuts show themselves.. wooo

ya fade, that shit looks raw.. i've been saving for one of em.. one more week

In my opinion you should wait and just buy some numark ttx. They are basically the same as the 1200's but in my opinion better more features and pitch( i have these turntables)... It all depends on you man the 1200's and TTx will be ur top choiches.
