so thats about it- as a preface to all of this
i am asking noob questions so if you dont like then i apologize but i want to try to get son into it- he hasnt fell over himself to learn right now, but i feel as though once the equip gets set up it will be more interesting for him and he is really into music (piano, clarinet, etc)- plus i want to fool with it agian in free time which having a different job as of recently will allow me more free time.
i dug around the attic and got my pdx2000 tt out and the tuner/amp and speakers and a fist full of vinyl...
thats all i was able to find from not fooling with anything for upwards of 20 years (give/take)
there is more elsewhere- but back when i was a bedroom dj, there wqasnt any of this digital stuff- yeah im old school with the 12" singles and stuff.
but i am intrigued- been watching YT and various forums and reading and learning- taking it all in last several months
finally got around to thinking/feeling it is time to ask some questions that i want to learn
so i see these serato tt's - i want to know where to get that vinyl that they are using- wheres cool spot to get ??
AND mostly -> how the hell does that even work i just dont get it.
so IOW, any given video on YT i see like "So Called Beef WIth You Know Who"- how is it that he can place needle any where - or why does he even anyways, if it is digital?
is there an advantage to having the needle on outer edge???
also if digital - like why or whats the deal with guy cleaning off the needle of fuzz...isnt it all like digitally produced/mixed and needle having nothing to do with it...?
so i think ultimately i would like to get another pdx2000 and maybe a rane, numark or pioneer controller sx- sz etc... and run them all- open to suggestions for starter kit stuff...money not so much an object- and i am avid user of craigslist and forums and have done purchases that way too (mostly)
i am also wondering about the best places / sources for all kinds of various tracks ...
some that my 11 year old son will like and maybe specifically clean edit stuff....or some not so clean for me and to use in his absence...?
any info insight guidance is welcome and again sorry for noob stuff - but so want to get back into it to see if son likes and wants to fool with it.
pls thx
in advance
