**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… ---

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. ---

> [@de\_stilj](#): > > I mean you don’t find what you want on beatport or others…? 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… ---
