Getting into turnable

:slight_smile: Hello
I’ve been djing for now 6 months with numark mixtrack pro but know I would like to have turnables so I thought about buying :

  • 2x Stanton T-62
  • Stanton SMX 202
  • Novation dicer
    So my question are:
    Do you think this a good set to start scratching ?
    Do I need a sound card ? :confused:
    If you have another idea of beginners setup my budget is 600 euros
    Thanks :slight_smile:

you’ll need a NI soundcard to use traktor scratch pro or a rane (i think) to use serato. so if u want to go the turntable/dvs route that’s the first thing to consider before looking into what turntables/mixer really. plus u could still mix internally via your mixtrack even when scratching to start with.

unless u mean to just use real vinyl ofc - which isn’t a bad idea either if u can find the tunes u want on vinyl ofc.

Find some used pair of Technics SL1200. If not, go for a higher model of Stantons such as the T120, ST/STR-100/150 or Numark TT500 and higher.

Will positively need to pick Serato or Traktor if you plan on using those dicers. I second the used technics or higher quality turntable notion. Cheap turntables are far less conducive to proper mixing than a cheap controller.
