Its actually the colour… 1200 were silver, 1210’s are black
Anyone rooting for the 1200’s is obviously racist 
NVM:
as i said before, all 1210’s are black finish, all 1200’s are silver finish. its the Mk numbers which differ in features.
Not always, you get silver 1210’s and black 1200’s. Rare, but they do exist.
Read up on your turntable history and youll see there is quite a few differences between the 1200 and 1210 mk2, and all that proceeds.
When I said a regular 1200 I meant a non DJ oriented turntable, it has no start/stop button, no pitch fader,… And I do know that the difference between 1200 and 1210 is nothing but the colour.
And I don’t like DVS because then I’d still be just controlling traktor just with a TT as an interface, but why would I be excited about that if I already have THE BEST (imo) way to control traktor sitting next to me right now ? I’m talking about my precious s4, I can hardly mix without using my cuepoints and instant looping. So relying fully on turntables to mix feels like a downgrade.
What I envisioned was making my deck D in traktor a live input and let my turntable output remain virtually untouched, no fancy extras, just pretty much the music.
And I just want to mix mp3s with my s4 most of the time, and occasionally mix Deck A with Deck D if I happen to have that particular song that I want on 12 inch…
That’s not that crazy right ? Is it ?
a 1200mk1 then.
To a newbie, yes.
Your not, your mixing on vinyl with traktor being your music library.
This is what vinyl is all about, learning to actually DJ without all your bells and whistles
I was listening to an RA Exchange podcast with The guy that runs Prime and he said in some cases sales of vinyl had actually gone up recently. They only press it of it’s something people will want to keep and it’s not a throw away song so by default on really good music gets pressed and as a result it tends to do well.
You would still need to beatmatch the tune to the S4…
Yes I also found out that the major labels, the big players in the industry of each genre are still pressing their songs on vinyl, so I’d be able to get all of the more popular songs on vinyl without a doubt, wich a real reassurance.
But I’m also into the real underground stuff, most of these producers aren’t even with a label, these guys have maybe 1000 followers on soundcloud, so that won’t be pressed on vinyl anytime soon.
But I guess if I can drop 275 on a turntable, and about 100 over the course of a few months on records, some money every now and then on the required new needles, 20 on maybe a slipmat if TT comes without one, then I could also drop like what ? less then 25 on some timecoded vinyl, so that my TT will get a little more action.(Expensive software won’t be a problem, I know a guy, all 100% legal of course, seriously)
I guess it’s going to be krk rokit 6’s first and then I’ll look for a turntable and the needed extra’s. But with production stopped, they will get more rare to find second hand if I wait too long. Because I can imagine a lot of people will want to hang on to their technics for a long time.
if you buy LEGIT timecode software/hardware you wont need to drop any money on timecoded vinyl
#justsayin.
iv noticed a vinyl resurgence recently
and whats this about no dn’b or dubstep being released on vinyl?!
i usually have to wait longer for digital relaeses
It’s hard as hell right now to find good vinyl sources in the US. Most of the time we are stuck importing from the UK, which has crazy expensive written all over it.
You should not get turntables, get over it, technology moves on!! Get a controller or CDJs with a DVS
Using CDJs and a DJM to control any piece of software sounds ridicules to me, more then €1500 for a midi controller with relatively limited options.
I am super happy that I never picked up the 350 series, what an utter waste of money.
However if I have to use CDJs because of an emergency, well I got reckordbox on my laptop but still I’m pretty much fucked.
But TT are a much more appealing form of backup
It sounds to me that you’re trying to fit your idea for getting a TT into something that its not. If you want to learn the proper way to scratch, get a TT. If you want to experience beatmatching totally by ear, get a TT. If you want to learn timing and how to beat juggle get 2 TT’s. But it doesn’t sound like you really want any of these things, its sounds like you want a TT because its cool. Your first “Pro” was because its cool. A TT as a more appealing backup? Really? A back up is just that, to back up your system if your main system goes down. If your laptop crashes, so now you have 1 TT with 10 records, how is that a back up?? A back up would be another laptop which you could get for the price of a 1200. CDJ’s that could take CD’s that you could burn to “back up” your music. A flash drive. These are back ups, getting a TT for you would be a novelty so you can look “cool”.
Buy the new Denon controller (I don’t remember the name at this moment) which is like 3700 but only controller (It wasn’t released yet)
More flexible, more portable, more funny than turntables (which are cool but only if you have wasted your last 10 years dealing with them IMO)
The denon? Talking about this one?
just get technics and be done with it
Preach - Xonetacular!
Preach.
