Too late to buy a turntable ?

Its actually the colour... 1200 were silver, 1210's are black

Anyone rooting for the 1200's is obviously racist :P

as i said before, all 1210's are black finish, all 1200's are silver finish. its the Mk numbers which differ in features.

Not always, you get silver 1210's and black 1200's. Rare, but they do exist.

Read up on your turntable history and youll see there is quite a few differences between the 1200 and 1210 mk2, and all that proceeds.

When I said a regular 1200 I meant a non DJ oriented turntable, it has no start/stop button, no pitch fader,... And I do know that the difference between 1200 and 1210 is nothing but the colour.

And I don't like DVS because then I'd still be just controlling traktor just with a TT as an interface, but why would I be excited about that if I already have THE BEST (imo) way to control traktor sitting next to me right now ? I'm talking about my precious s4, I can hardly mix without using my cuepoints and instant looping. So relying fully on turntables to mix feels like a downgrade.

What I envisioned was making my deck D in traktor a live input and let my turntable output remain virtually untouched, no fancy extras, just pretty much the music.
And I just want to mix mp3s with my s4 most of the time, and occasionally mix Deck A with Deck D if I happen to have that particular song that I want on 12 inch...

That's not that crazy right ? Is it ?

a 1200mk1 then.

To a newbie, yes.

Your not, your mixing on vinyl with traktor being your music library.

This is what vinyl is all about, learning to actually DJ without all your bells and whistles

I was listening to an RA Exchange podcast with The guy that runs Prime and he said in some cases sales of vinyl had actually gone up recently. They only press it of it's something people will want to keep and it's not a throw away song so by default on really good music gets pressed and as a result it tends to do well.

You would still need to beatmatch the tune to the S4....

Yes I also found out that the major labels, the big players in the industry of each genre are still pressing their songs on vinyl, so I'd be able to get all of the more popular songs on vinyl without a doubt, wich a real reassurance.

But I'm also into the real underground stuff, most of these producers aren't even with a label, these guys have maybe 1000 followers on soundcloud, so that won't be pressed on vinyl anytime soon.

But I guess if I can drop 275 on a turntable, and about 100 over the course of a few months on records, some money every now and then on the required new needles, 20 on maybe a slipmat if TT comes without one, then I could also drop like what ? less then 25 on some timecoded vinyl, so that my TT will get a little more action.(Expensive software won't be a problem, I know a guy, all 100% legal of course, seriously)

I guess it's going to be krk rokit 6's first and then I'll look for a turntable and the needed extra's. But with production stopped, they will get more rare to find second hand if I wait too long. Because I can imagine a lot of people will want to hang on to their technics for a long time.

if you buy LEGIT timecode software/hardware you wont need to drop any money on timecoded vinyl
