Yeah, well, I'm sick of my makeshift, stop-gap solution turntable, the Pioneer 200 (crap).
I'm putting together with my pops to get an American DJ deck (which one in particular, I'm not sure). Anybody heard anything on these decks?
The primary use will be beat mixing. Hopefully, these badboys will have some quartz-lock and allow for decent pushing and pulling. If not, forget that shit.
Anybody?
I think MKUltra2000 posted a thread about this in the music forum.
BAH!!!
Thanks man. Now I gotta search.;)
denon dnd9000 :D
Excuse me, I believe you're forgetting the whole "short on cash bit."
I need money.
BTW, I can't find the thread.
What, you think I've got him in my back pocket or something?
Send him a PM.
Pff it's only like $2500 at the store I work at...Quote:

Only 2500...
Thanks for the smarmy-ass reply, Sleeveboy;)
I'll PM him.
Well, I tried keeping Sleeveboy in my back pocket, but he just got all uppity and kept demanding independant rights. I had to let him go... *sniff*
You get exactly what you pay for with turntables. There is no substitute for the 1200s. In the long run, you will save yourself money if you are serious about djing. Just hold out until you get more cash- you will thank yourself later.
you can get some sort of digital mixer at www.pcdj.com
PCDJ red demo, and red, are pretty cool. No experience with the hardware though.
Don't I know it; I already have a tech 1200. I'm just really, really, sick of my crappy turntable, which, unfortunately, wasn't even made for DJing (imagine the cut button just all of a sudden, coming on, and the needle coming off the record, or, (this is the most commone thing), you've got the beat and you put the cross-fader across, only to find out that the table's pitch has decided that now is the time to screw up. Very embarassing.Quote:

For beat-mixing, I wanna know if it's fine. But if it's that shitty that it can't even do that, feh.
Sorry, but I love the feel of vinyl on my hands.:)Quote:

I'm not an expert on beat mixing and blending capabilities of turntables- only skratching and juggling really. I know a lot of turntables with so called "quartz drives" that wont play +12 pitch on two tables the same. This may not be a huge thing, a minute kind of annoyance, but there are a lot of little things like this that add up to make these sub-par tables not worth the time.Quote:

If anything, I would say vestax is the only other brand worth looking at- and even then it's not a serious competitor with technics. American djs stuff is solid, nothing great- you get exactly what you pay for.
The bottom line is the 1200s are an investment- they actually appreciate in value. You can't beat that. If you are serious about djing, practicing on an inferior turntable will limit your growth and become a long term hinderance in that sense.
Do you just do it for fun or are you serious about it?
