which turntable for decoration… ?

Hi,

since i bought a new mixer and controller i am tired of telling everyone that i am playing music from computer…

i am thinking of buying a turntable (to use it as a timcode). jus for decoration nothing special.

what doy ou think about reloop 1000mk3 for 50€ or numark tt1610 for 60€

i know that this is a shit (i had technics) but anyway.

thanks

Do you actually want to use it for timecode control or literally just as a decoration?

If you want timecode, do you already have an Audio 4 or 8? cos getting all the stuff to implement timecode control might be more expensive than it’s worth to stop your mates asking why you don’t use vinyl!

TBH - fuck 'em. Why waste money on something you’re not going to use just to keep some pillocks happy.

and once you buy the turntable, the people will all demand you to SCRATCH!!!

If it’s just for decoration…why not make a statement.

Personally I think buying a turntable for decoration is doing nothing more than validating everyone who is already bugging you about it, your just “posing” as a DJ. Fuck all that, if you dont use TT’s, then dont, get over it, and let the others follow. I mean, I guess if you really wanna look like a bad ass you could get a couple of TT’s and play a ScratchPickles mix from an iPod and just pretend your scratching to it?? Make sure you plug the turntables in or you’ll get busted fer sure.

LOL! Best piece of advice ever! :stuck_out_tongue:

This - that really would just validate the hate, just ignore it and keep doing your thing - or switch to DVS properly.

They associate turntables with DJs ok, no biggie there. Now it’s time for them to associate computers as well or GTFO (not hating on TTs btw).

IMO to buy a TT for decoration or posing purposes is punishable with 10hs a day of listening to justin beiber’s “greatest hits” for 6 months.

haha

take it easy guys…

10

maybe better ask: why are you using timecode tt?

This is too funny… I have a friend who just bought a macbook because he was getting similar comments for using a Dell. HAHAHAHA… I told him to cut out a white apple logo, glue it over the Dell logo, and put a black light on the table. I’m going to break out my Apple Newton just to satisfy the fanboys.

Rock the house and I don’t care if you’re using a C64 with cassette drive. I think for my next gig I’m going to use a single SCS.3D in double deck mode just to invite comments.

12

get this one

13

I use DVS because I like it, it’s fun for me, it’s what I want to do. No other reason.

If the DJ is rocking it, I could care less what the tools are.

The clear solution is to get the most complex midi controller you can with as many flashing lights as possible. Try and make it look like a space ship. Dangle shit from the ceiling if you can.

Then every time you see a vinyl DJ bitch about how all he’s doing is beat matching tracks and doesn’t even make his own music.

i lol’d.
btw do you have a tsi for that?!
edited out the video.

APC40 is really good for that. If only I had kept mine :disappointed:

I don’t see what’s wrong about getting a turntable for decoration purposes.


Yes, it’s a turntable, and surely decorative. Don’t know about the 50 bucks though.

I also find this one quite decorative, especially with a nice picture disc in it:

as far as those reloop’s you asked about they are belt drive… if you are interested in getting a tt at least get a direct drive one.. check out any of the Super OEM turntables

or just buy some second hand 1200’s

this seriously made me laugh so fucking hard, thank you:slight_smile:
