going vinyl…
okay guys. i´m totally sick of going to my local record dj store to spin some decent minimal tunes. so i thought of getting me some tt´s and a nice mixer.
the setup would look like a pair of 1210´s and a korg km-402 mixer (cause of the kaoss pad). so what do u think…is it to much for decent bedroom setup?
oh by the way…it´s just for the bedroom…traktor owns my heart!!!
Setup sounds nice, but keep in mind that you going to dump over $1k in the setup. What kind of contoller could you get for 1k? I would buy a usb turntable to xfer the vinyl to mp3 and call it a day.
the mixer would be 350-400 euros and i could get the tt´s from a friend of mine for 120 euros each…i think it´s a damn good price and they would last aons…
thats a deal, go for it!
yeah i think it´s a good deal…just need to same some cents before getting the shit together…better to have a good setup at home for me than to use pretty expensive stuff at a gig and get it damaged by drunk people…thats my opinion.
I don’t understand… you don’t find numerically what you whant???
what u mean?
I mean you don’t find what you want on beatport or others…?
alot of good stuff is still only pressed on vinyl. The only way to get it is buy ripping it or other illegal means.
oh no. thats not the point. what i was trying to say is, that when i want to spin vinyl i have to go to the record store/ friends who own tt´s and mixer.
i started djing with traktor and keyboard just for fun…and now it is an obsession for me…i discovered that spinning mnml/tech/house is a lot more fun on vinyl than in traktor and i want to get to know all the mediums of spinning. it has nothing to do with beatport and not finding tracks. its just…that it is such a nice feeling spinning vinyl. in traktor i can do the craziest stuff like looping, beatmashing and shit… but sometimes i feel like: man i would love to have some tt´s at home…
got cartridges? just found out how expensive they are here. omfg
as far as i was investigating the depths of ebay around 30€…
hm thats not so bad, i heard for new ones its like $300 here for the cheapest kind
wtf! that alot! I use the statons 35c and I got them for 27 bux/each @ GC. Hit me up if you want me to get you some and ill send them to the little big island.
interesting thanks jesC. first, i shall investigate further
man i cant wait to get my own place so i can set up my decks n that… nothing beats mixing with vinyl, love it. cartridges are’nt that expensive really for a good pair maybe 60 quid, tho its been a while since ive bought any.
safe…
I just brought some 1200’s in the weekend, carts must be crazy exspensive down these ways, asides from crap cheapest Shures I can find in nz are 370, which is about 190 USD. Though that is carts, sytlii, and plates (integrated into the carts)
Looking forwards to upping my vinyl skills!
Quick question what are the top of the line needles/cartridges in NZ?
