lol true. thinking i’ll hold off on the tt’s for a lil while, or maybe til i’ve investigated the ni soundcards a little more. thanks for all your help guys.
This seems like the best thread to ask this;
I just picked up the Z2 and it came with timecode vinyl. I never really thought about using them until they showed up with the mixer, and now I’m honestly burning up at the chance. My only hold up is that I don’t own a turntable. I haven’t been DJing that long and only ever used controllers.
After doing some research, I’ve found out what the good turntables are (1200s), and they seem like a good end goal, but I don’t want to spend serious money on it to find out that turntables aren’t my thing.
Can anybody suggest a reasonably priced turntable that works with Traktor, or explain what I’m looking for in greater detail so I can make a better decision?
Thanks,
Heres the great thing about 1200’s, buy them for 300 each and a year from now, you can sell em for 300 each.
The sound quality on the scratch certified soundcards is good IMO. I would always opt for an audio10 but thats just me.
ANY turntables will work with Traktor. Its the soundcard that needs to be compatible not the TT’s.
+1 on this.
You could also just buy a single turntable and use it in single table mode and assign 2 buttons to switch control between decks. That’s what I did, and trust me, it was a short time til I realized I must have a 2nd… Once you go DVS its hard to go back
Just do it, man! Once you do, and you start fidgeting understanding (and modding) the 1200 it kinda becomes part of you. And yeah, chicks dig it. Makes everyone else look like they are checking email. (not that there’s anything wrong with that…)
you can get more then 8% on 1200’s…once calibrated there is a knob inside simular to brake speed knob that you can adjust to have more or less pitch control…just make sure you mark your calibrated setting spot first before adjusting
if you are going to get crazy with speed adjustment on DVS I loved my pdx2000’s for DVS
hey you can take away the plate of it and remove the plastic cover. You get to the inside of the turntable and the you have, if i remind it right, a blue button where you can adjust the pitch to 16%. I remember some Hardcore DJ`s made that back int he Times.
I`m sure if you check Google you will find some sort of Tutorial about it.
