for cueing, i use the traktor kontrol x1's hotcue for the first beat. in the past, it's hard to get the stanton t60 to full normal speed and cue so i decided to go for the X1
very nice tip bro , i cut a pair of vinyl sleeves and turned them into slip mats, the torque problem is still there, maybe i need to hunt for a better slip mat or a better wax paper alternative
@JokersFollower You can do that, but you need certain cables and connections. You will also need software on your computer to play it, such as Serato Scratch Live or something like that. I'm not very good with this, as I have never connected to a computer. Look around on the web or ask some other youtube users. Otherwise, load up on some vinyl! Try and find a local shop near you, or look online for shops. Even if its some old vinyls from 60s or 70s, rock, pop whatever. Anything can Work. Practce
@cozby89 These turntables are direct drive. They are just a weak direct drive because they are some of the less expensive model direct drive you can buy. They are still good for a beginner though.
@EGS3 oh that fuckin sucks like i just bought the numark ibattlepack and the motors suck so bad im just gonna save up and get technics or a ns7 but idk yet
how is the power vs. the t62 because i saw a t62 cheaper than the t60 i bought and the t60s power anint that great, people have said the t62 has a strong torque but i dont know
@djBLIRR Yes you do. The slipmats help the record slip more smothly on the turntable platter so that when you hold the record down, the record will stop but the platter will continue to spin under it.
actually, it takes less then one second to start the record, factory standard. u also could get rid of a lot of your problems with torque and the slow start if u didnt have it on 45 rpm when the record u have in the video is meant to be played at 33 rpm. im not trying to sound like a dick, but its true
Sorry I haven't been responding to comments as much. I'm in California now attending university and I've got a wicked small apartment that I share with a roommate so it wasnt so practical to bring my decks out there, plus I've just been busy. I keep up to date with stuff and I still love the music, so I'll do my best to answer questions.
Once again thanks a million for all the support and I'm so glad I could help any of you out there. Cheers.
Hey to everybody out there who continues to watch this video and my other overviews. Thanks to all of you!!! I can't believe this video have over 46,000 views and some of my other ones have over 1,000 and over 8,000, its crazy. I'm really happy that I could help all of you out.
hey dude nice turntables but you dont have to buy plastic records for under the slip mats just use the paper that comes from the insides of the records it makes it more slippery.
@zicha1 I'm planning on getting them with Traktor Scratch Duo as well. Did you replace the cartridges or slipmats? I wouldnt think the cartridge would matter that much because theyre being used to control the software. I plan on getting butter slipmats to fix the problem because those slipmats look terrible
dooood! I started on Numark TT1700's (the blue plastic ones!) be thankful that your not usin' those! I have a Str8-60 and that thing feels as good as a technics ( I have those too). Just use what ya got I guess.. cheers.
1) yeh its your slipmats, i got think technic xray ones. Also a bit of polish under the standard slipmats works aswell. 2) I havent had a problem with the start/stop, could be yours?!?!?! 3) pitch has been alright with mine
Like he said in the vid, these turntables would be ideal for people starting off, so long as the platters are firm.., some low quality turntables have 'wobbly' platters which makes it difficult to cue and drop in tunes, as the needles just skip off easily. That said i know from experience that learning to dj with shit decks will make you a better dj in the long run so long as you persevere.
Hey nice vid im trying to get the stanton t-60 just have to get some more money! But i like that bt album you have! Do you know anywhere i could get it on the internet?
if turntables is really all your looking for, you might as well just wait and save your money for stanton str8 150's if stanton is what your looking at. Yeah obviously they're expensive but why waste your money on tables that will only take you so far, might as well get the good stuff, wait longer to purchase rather than blowing money on shit product and having to buy the good ones anyway later on, my first set was 1200's and a pioneer djm 400. I had to save but i survived, last longer
Bro when your touching the turntable your applying to much pressure. When you touch it your supposed to stop the record only. When you did it you stopped both the record and the platter.
@JSTDG88 He said he's "lightly pushing down on it" & it already stops which means that the turntables don't have good torque. You have to apply the right amount of pressure to scratch & I believe he is applying just enough to get it to scratch.
@123asd260 Hey man, yeah these decks are good for scratching. The needle skips a little if you go crazy on them. But for the most part, I've never had a problem. Peace bro. Thanks for watching.
to jamesaustin, i've looked at your supposely mix vids, and let me say, keep working on your vibe. besides i got the funds to pay for them. my money, my decision, right.
Yes, if you have a good mixer, the T.60s are good for mixer that's mainly what they are made for, they hold up really well for that.
Though why don't you just use your 1200s for mixing and scratching. You have the best of the best arguably. Unless you really want a separate pair of decks for scratching, if its for that reason then these are good, because they are probably the least expensive turntables and still can hold their own.
Hi, to everyone who has been asking about the track I play in this video, look at the first video response to this video. It is a video I made that shows the track I used in this demo. The video is called "BT Track from my Stanton T.60 Demo"
You should watch for a few reasons. It answers your wonders about the track. It shows brief glimpses of my room a year ago, which is rare footage. And most importantly I make a really stupid mistake in it.
ive had these decks for about a year now and to get around the torque problem i use proper slip mats and then put a sheet of wax paper underneath it works perfectly.
i have a question. is it better to buy 2 str8 80's for 160 or buy 2 t60's with a m202 mixer and headphones for 300? if i get the str880s i might get a cheap numark m1 mixer.
haha no man, I just recently decided to sell them, about a month ago. I bought them back in 2007 I guess. I used them for a god year and a half, kind of got busy with other stuff and now going to college in California from the East Coast it would be a burden to unload them. If you know anyone who is interested please let me know. The cartridges are included.
Hey great video man helped me out alot. I just bought a used pair of t.60s and i fixed the torque problem by putting wax paper under my slipmats. they work perfectly now!
in regards to the torque problem...I have the t.62 decks and i just bought a set of d-styles table cloth mats and they work quite well. just a light touch will stop the record and scratching will only slow the platter less than 3%.
to be honest man, I've never got the chance to try out the geminis. I've never really heard much about them either. I know stantons are more in demand just from what I've seen. Maybe do a little more research somewhere else and you could find the answer. Sorry I don't know more about them. Peace.
If you are interested please send me a private message letting me know. I don't want this video's comments to be filled up because I still want to answer questions if people have them. So if you still have a question about the t.60 keep posting and I'll help you out f I can.
Once gain You'll have to wait until May or June for me to put everything up on ebay but I might act faster if you are really interested.
Thank you everybody for reading this and thanks a lot for watching.
I need to set up an ebay account. I don't plan on actually putting it up for sale until late May or June. If you are interested and can wait a few months I am 95% sure that I will be selling all of my kit. I'll work out the details when the time comes but I know that the buyer will have to pay for the shipping wherever he or she may be and I will also be selling everything together most likely. i know someone who wants to dj will be buying and its much easier like that.
I have an announcement to make concerning my dj gear. In June i graduate from high school. I am planning on selling my two t.60s and the denon mixer and the headphones and possibly two speakers. I haven't been djing as much for the past year, even though I still love the music. I think its time for me to sell my equipment for some extra money going into college and i know a lot of people on here are probably interested. (Please continue reading above.)
Hey, nice review there. I am looking for a turntable for the only purpose of listening to my old records. I can't spend a fortune on a technics so i think stanton T60 is a good choice as do not want to mix or scratch. My question is can i get signal directly into the speakers or do i have to buy a mixer just for this purpose or an amplifier? Sry if this seems stupid but i don't know how this works. I used to have a combo with turntable included and i would just connect it to the the speakers.
Thanks, and I am almost positive you can connect the turntable directly to a speaker. Actually I am positive, you can do that pretty easily, you might need some inexpensive connector but thats it.
The t.62s are a slight upgrade of the t.60s. I don't know much about it but I think the t.62s have a slight torque upgrade or maybe come with a catridge I don't know really.
alright mate, ive had some cheap nasty turntables in the past and im looking to buy a pair of these but the problems iv had with some cheaper ones is that the plater isnt solid and wobbles when hard pressure is put on it like when scratching and this sometimes made the needle skip, could u tell me how solid the platter is? thanks mate
Hey, I've never had a problem with the platter wobbling or anything. Stanton seems to build their gear tough and as far as that goes I haven't had any problems with the quality of how everything is made. So no I don't think what you're describing will be a problem at all from what I have seen.
sorry for asking retarded questions but for turntablism and strictly scratching ... do I need 2 turn tables for starters ? or can I get away with a mixer and 1 turn table :) ? thanks btw
If you want to just scratch you might be able to LEARN to only scratch with one. But to truly learn this kind of music you need 2. One turntble plays the background beat and then you scratch on the other. Really I think you could just play yh background beat rhough a cd and then scratch. I don't do this to much and I don't know much about it so maybe thats not possible. Research it on scratching websites.
yea I only ment that option for a while until I gt some more money for a second turntable ... 2nd world countries like mine make it rather difficult tu buy good gear at once :)
found a mixer that supports usb, so i'll upload beats through that for a while :)
No problem man. The most important thing I think is that you're doing what you can to start djing. That means a lot, and you can take it as far as you want.
yer i got my djlab.2 yesterday and the torque isant gr8 but ive just been testing it like moving the plater forward n backward and it works just find the platter doesnt stop their gr8!
The torque isn't high like Technics or the higher-end model turntables, but it beats belt-driven turntables; and yes, with a good pair of slip-mats like butter rugs, frosted plates, or even help from flying carpets (or cut out wax paper) on the stock Stanton slip mats, they'll spin like butter.
technics arent that high in tourqe only about 1.5. the str8150 are so powerful, probably too powerful. they have 4.5 torque. they are also bout 200 quid cheaper. beats tech
the str8 150's are better than the 1210 mk5g's in every way except one, the name basically, theyre packed with more features, look a lot more stylish i think the str8 150's are stunnin little machines and as u say the torque, plus the straight tone arm amazing decks, and yes cheaper than 1210s aswell !!
Man, i thought it was just me. I knew that the str8 150 beat most technics turntables. I just wasn't sureee.
To me, i think stantons are underrated, or overlooked. Nowadays, technics are what most djs strive for. When you see a dj with stantons, you know that he has done his research.
To much djs just hop on the bandwagon. Im just 14, but thats what i think.
If you are going to buy two t.60s and you want to learn to mix then you do need a mixer. The absolute essential things to dj are two turntables, a mixer, and something to make sound (speakers, amp etc.) Without a mixer all you can really do is play the music. So yes you need a mixer.
Hey, the other poster pretty much said it. You do need two turntables and a mixer. Get a cheaper mixer and let him upgrade instead of starting high. Cartridges are probably the most important thing. They are easy to forget because you just expect the turntable to come with a needle lol but sometimes it doesn't. The store you are buying from will point you to which ones you need to get for t.60
You might need to check on a speaker system a well. To see what you can hitch all of this up to.
when you said "plastic disc under the slipmat" that gave me a great idea, i just put another record under there (it's a 7" 1979 julio iglesias record, so who cares:p) and that seems to help alot. I don't know if it works better if you put a 12" under there, since i don't have 'disposable' 12" records, but thanks for the hint!
yeah gud vid do u hav to hav 2 turntables coz im oin to but one turn table nd a mixer nd then sav for another turn table and btw wat do u need wif the turntables like wat do u need to work it good
If you want to dj you really need to invest in two turntables. I recommend sticking to one format. For example get two vinyl turntables or two cd turntables. But you could also switch it and get one of each.
Simply though, yes, if you want to dj you have to buy two turntables.
Dude, after watching this vid I decided to get some as my first set, got a good deal on them, $250 with a mixer and used them for the first weekend I got them, they were sitting in my living room for over a month and I didn't even touch them cuz the torque is so bad. They look nice though but definitely not for scratching. Sold them for $350 shortly after that.
Whatever works for you, to anyone else I wouldn't really recommend these if all you want to do is scratch and be focused as a hip hop dj, if that is not you focus though, I still believe they are a good choice for beginners.
i just take wax paper and cut it 2 the shape of a slip mat and put that underneith.u can use the plastic record holder shit inside ure record case. but i just used wax paper
to be honest I'm not sure about this. It seems like it would be possible. Try asking at the place where you buy the t.60s. I bet if you message a youtube user called briansredd he will have the answer for you.
OK I haven't been responding to comments at all recently about the last 3 weeks because I've been on a long vacation to Eastern Europe. I went to countries like Russia, Czech Republic and Estonia. Anyway I got back a few days ago and I'll respopnd to any questions if they are asked now. For one I'm not selling my stuff, Ill show you where to get it at good prices but I don't plan any time soon on selling what I have especially if I have to ship it.
im in cali, Santa Barbara, 375 for 2 t60 turntables and a beringher vmx300 mixer . origional boxes and butter rug slip mats. they still look brand new.
the best deck for torgue is the stantons str 150s they have the word strongest torgue motor but are alot more these r still good tho stanton r klling it now days

in regards to the torque problem...I have the t.62 decks and i just bought a set of d-styles table cloth mats and they work quite well. just a light touch will stop the record and scratching will only slow the platter less than 3%.

you man, do you think stanton t 60 are better than the gemini tt 02 ?? ;)
jotaemee1 2 years ago
they are. a lot. Though they are nearly the same price the santatons are MUCH better
whitepeet 2 years ago 2
to be honest man, I've never got the chance to try out the geminis. I've never really heard much about them either. I know stantons are more in demand just from what I've seen. Maybe do a little more research somewhere else and you could find the answer. Sorry I don't know more about them. Peace.

If you are interested please send me a private message letting me know. I don't want this video's comments to be filled up because I still want to answer questions if people have them. So if you still have a question about the t.60 keep posting and I'll help you out f I can.
Once gain You'll have to wait until May or June for me to put everything up on ebay but I might act faster if you are really interested.
Thank you everybody for reading this and thanks a lot for watching.

I need to set up an ebay account. I don't plan on actually putting it up for sale until late May or June. If you are interested and can wait a few months I am 95% sure that I will be selling all of my kit. I'll work out the details when the time comes but I know that the buyer will have to pay for the shipping wherever he or she may be and I will also be selling everything together most likely. i know someone who wants to dj will be buying and its much easier like that.

ATTENTION EVERYONE!!!
I have an announcement to make concerning my dj gear. In June i graduate from high school. I am planning on selling my two t.60s and the denon mixer and the headphones and possibly two speakers. I haven't been djing as much for the past year, even though I still love the music. I think its time for me to sell my equipment for some extra money going into college and i know a lot of people on here are probably interested. (Please continue reading above.)

Hey, nice review there. I am looking for a turntable for the only purpose of listening to my old records. I can't spend a fortune on a technics so i think stanton T60 is a good choice as do not want to mix or scratch. My question is can i get signal directly into the speakers or do i have to buy a mixer just for this purpose or an amplifier? Sry if this seems stupid but i don't know how this works. I used to have a combo with turntable included and i would just connect it to the the speakers.
jahmurai 3 years ago
Thanks, and I am almost positive you can connect the turntable directly to a speaker. Actually I am positive, you can do that pretty easily, you might need some inexpensive connector but thats it.

are the t60's the same as the t62's or is the t62's an upgrade to the t60's?
daveysafc1 3 years ago
The t.62s are a slight upgrade of the t.60s. I don't know much about it but I think the t.62s have a slight torque upgrade or maybe come with a catridge I don't know really.

alright mate, ive had some cheap nasty turntables in the past and im looking to buy a pair of these but the problems iv had with some cheaper ones is that the plater isnt solid and wobbles when hard pressure is put on it like when scratching and this sometimes made the needle skip, could u tell me how solid the platter is? thanks mate
spoonguard2006 3 years ago
Hey, I've never had a problem with the platter wobbling or anything. Stanton seems to build their gear tough and as far as that goes I haven't had any problems with the quality of how everything is made. So no I don't think what you're describing will be a problem at all from what I have seen.
EGS3 3 years ago
sorry for asking retarded questions but for turntablism and strictly scratching ... do I need 2 turn tables for starters ? or can I get away with a mixer and 1 turn table :) ? thanks btw
djsneeze 3 years ago
Yeah you should have 2
EGS3 3 years ago
If you want to just scratch you might be able to LEARN to only scratch with one. But to truly learn this kind of music you need 2. One turntble plays the background beat and then you scratch on the other. Really I think you could just play yh background beat rhough a cd and then scratch. I don't do this to much and I don't know much about it so maybe thats not possible. Research it on scratching websites.
EGS3 3 years ago
yea I only ment that option for a while until I gt some more money for a second turntable ... 2nd world countries like mine make it rather difficult tu buy good gear at once :)
found a mixer that supports usb, so i'll upload beats through that for a while :)
thanks alot mate for the info.
Jah Bless :)
djsneeze 3 years ago
No problem man. The most important thing I think is that you're doing what you can to start djing. That means a lot, and you can take it as far as you want.
What country do you live in btw?
Let me know how everything goes.
Peace.
EGS3 3 years ago
i have the t.60's great tables.. wat i did for the torque problem is i put a peice of wax paper under the slip map and it works perfectly...

Do you reccomend them? is the torque suck? loli think the torque wouldnt be a problem if you bought butter rugs ( special slipmats )
HaxXx1 3 years ago
The torque isn't high like Technics or the higher-end model turntables, but it beats belt-driven turntables; and yes, with a good pair of slip-mats like butter rugs, frosted plates, or even help from flying carpets (or cut out wax paper) on the stock Stanton slip mats, they'll spin like butter.
djtekno 3 years ago
technics arent that high in tourqe only about 1.5. the str8150 are so powerful, probably too powerful. they have 4.5 torque. they are also bout 200 quid cheaper. beats tech
gaffey1 3 years ago
the str8 150's are better than the 1210 mk5g's in every way except one, the name basically, theyre packed with more features, look a lot more stylish i think the str8 150's are stunnin little machines and as u say the torque, plus the straight tone arm amazing decks, and yes cheaper than 1210s aswell !!
GbbFleggy 3 years ago
tech's were made for clubs,the str8150 sound inferior in a club enviroment and with the metal finish tech's build quality beats any stanton.
rapperskilledhiphop 3 years ago
Man, i thought it was just me. I knew that the str8 150 beat most technics turntables. I just wasn't sureee.
To me, i think stantons are underrated, or overlooked. Nowadays, technics are what most djs strive for. When you see a dj with stantons, you know that he has done his research.
To much djs just hop on the bandwagon. Im just 14, but thats what i think.
MakaShino 2 years ago 2
the str8 doesn't beat technics,technics is more basic but the build quality of technics, especially the tonearm is better than any turntable.
the best turntable in the world is the tech sl1200m5g,it's even better than vestax pdx2000mk2.
rapperskilledhiphop 2 years ago
Tru dat.
I said it beats alot of technics turntables, like the sl1200 mk2. even the sl1200 mk5.
Btw its a '1210' mk5G. That turntable is fkin sick. Nothing beats that.
MakaShino 2 years ago
hey, i am new to dj equipment..
one question, do you have to have a mixer for the t60? or will it still be fine without one?
lachlanm24 3 years ago
If you are going to buy two t.60s and you want to learn to mix then you do need a mixer. The absolute essential things to dj are two turntables, a mixer, and something to make sound (speakers, amp etc.) Without a mixer all you can really do is play the music. So yes you need a mixer.

What do people think of the stanton t 62??
humandog 3 years ago
its the T60 in black, bad deal
toastandjam4 3 years ago
you must be putting far to much pressure on the record for the platter to stop completey...
the motor is not that weak..
Cryptics2008 3 years ago 6
If you have a t.60 you know its torque limitations.
EGS3 3 years ago
yeah you don't even need to stop the platter if you're holding the record
toastandjam4 3 years ago
haha one more thingg
what kind are very good for
scratching but have low cost?

T.60's are good enough just make sure you get the right Cartriges

a stanton turntable for my bf
im not familiar to what else he might
need to actually get started on mixing
and stuff. Any suggestions?
&& where can i get sum of those records?
bqjamsz 3 years ago
Two Santons, a used mixer stanton is "ok" I would look for a used numark, headphones and cartriges donb't forget to buy two
Ulsternial 3 years ago
Hey, the other poster pretty much said it. You do need two turntables and a mixer. Get a cheaper mixer and let him upgrade instead of starting high. Cartridges are probably the most important thing. They are easy to forget because you just expect the turntable to come with a needle lol but sometimes it doesn't. The store you are buying from will point you to which ones you need to get for t.60
You might need to check on a speaker system a well. To see what you can hitch all of this up to.

IntBakske 3 years ago
when you said "plastic disc under the slipmat" that gave me a great idea, i just put another record under there (it's a 7" 1979 julio iglesias record, so who cares:p) and that seems to help alot. I don't know if it works better if you put a 12" under there, since i don't have 'disposable' 12" records, but thanks for the hint!

yeah gud vid do u hav to hav 2 turntables coz im oin to but one turn table nd a mixer nd then sav for another turn table and btw wat do u need wif the turntables like wat do u need to work it good
DjmadDness2008 3 years ago
do you need two turntables?
futuremickthomson722 3 years ago
If you want to dj you really need to invest in two turntables. I recommend sticking to one format. For example get two vinyl turntables or two cd turntables. But you could also switch it and get one of each.
Simply though, yes, if you want to dj you have to buy two turntables.

BLITZ4209mmKuSHSmoKe 3 years ago
I've had my t60's for a few months. Due to the lack of torque, Im looking at better decks. If you are looking for scratching decks, avoid!
zulupidgeon 3 years ago
Dude, after watching this vid I decided to get some as my first set, got a good deal on them, $250 with a mixer and used them for the first weekend I got them, they were sitting in my living room for over a month and I didn't even touch them cuz the torque is so bad. They look nice though but definitely not for scratching. Sold them for $350 shortly after that.
choneythief 3 years ago 2
Whatever works for you, to anyone else I wouldn't really recommend these if all you want to do is scratch and be focused as a hip hop dj, if that is not you focus though, I still believe they are a good choice for beginners.

to be honest I'm not sure about this. It seems like it would be possible. Try asking at the place where you buy the t.60s. I bet if you message a youtube user called briansredd he will have the answer for you.
