Hey everyone.
As long as i've been dj'ing i've been using controllers and also CDJ's once in a while. I always liked DVS setups but never considered getting one myself.
However things changed a little bit today.
I walked into a pawn shop and saw two shiny turntable sitting side by side. One was a Numark TT200 and the other was a Numark TTX. Both had needles on and both were in mint condition. After bargaining with the salesman for a few minutes he told me he'd let them both go for $200 (total).
I asked two DJ friends of mine who have mentored me into DJing what they thought of the deal, since i'm not too knowledgeable as to what is good quality and not in turntables. One of em told me that it was a good deal, and the other one told me that, in 2010, if i wasn't already spinning vinyl, i shouldn't invest money in it unless i was a hardcore scratcher (which i'm not) because the industry had moved on from vinyl.
Now, i don't really know why i would want to spin vinyl, except that i'd get to use beautiful orange or green (or whatever color) traktor records
I'd use the TT's in conjuction with my SCS.3 system (with the 3d's for controlling effects and cue points, and the 3m as a mixer) but i'm not sure how good of a match using turntables with a small touch mixer is.
I'd like you guys' opinions on this whole ordeal! What do you guys think about the Numark TT200's and TTX ? how relevent is it for me to add them to my setup? How should i feel about using two turntables that are not exactly the same? What do you think about using vinyl turntables with a Stantom SCS.3m mixer?
Waiting for your input!
thanks
