Re: turntables and mixer question
I started mixing with torq, after awhile i bought techs and a mixer
got 2 1210s with cases and carts for 400

it will really sharpen up your ears and all your timing
buying vinyl is expensive, but the sound quality is worth it and plus you get to dig for tunes which will help you fine tune your tastes
go for it

Re: turntables and mixer question
get the decks and start learning on vinyl then go to serato to train your ear.
it will be so worth it in the long run

Re: turntables and mixer question
I think everyone should learn to beat match on vinyl. I recommend some second hand 1210's and a cheap 2 channel pioneer mixer off ebay you can pick them up for about £30!
Then years of practice!

colour. They are the exact same inside.Mapledelux wrote:whats the difference between a 1210 and a 1200
Find a pair of second hand mk2 Technics on ebay. Go check them out with someone and make sure they are working correct.
I dont think its worth paying extra for the newer models and prefer the mk2 over them. The number of new models i have been on that feel terrible is quite high!
mk2 or stfu.
Don’t worry about people stealing an idea. If it’s original, you will have to ram it down their throats.
Re: turntables and mixer question
I have mkII but prefer the newer models because of the pitch fader. It used to be 1210s where black. I think they have made 1200s in black since tho.

Re: turntables and mixer question
There might be. I seem to remeber seeing something like that somewhere along the line. The problem is when you gig you have to bring them with you. Really tho Serato is the solution that makes the most sense because you can do just that.Mapledelux wrote:is there a duel turntable that plays digital and vinyl that would solve all my problems

Re: turntables and mixer question
In a nutshell...
If you want to learn the true artform of mixing vinyl by ear go analog.
If you want software to do all your bpm counting and beatmatching go digital.
Either way is alright but IMHO analog is way harder but will earn you more respect as a dj from other dj's. Digital is alot easier so your preformance better blow minds or no one will care. That said the common person at a party won't give two shits if your playing vinyl or mp3's, but other dj's and producers will to some extent.
