[DeejayMastB]

work at computer ? serato , virtual dj !!!!

[sezuor]

@DeejayMastB no he uses skill

[MrBicycle15]

tt record is good for scratching? to listen to a song `s and really need the vinyl record?

[metalsinani]

@MrBicycle15 no, belt drive turntables are shit for scratching, and the belt drive motor matters more to scratch djs than to any other kind, do yourself a favour, get some technics :)

[anthonyv6612]

cheers

[DjbaconbitzZz]

are beltdrivesw good for beggginers LOL i just need cheap ones

[metalsinani]

@DjbaconbitzZz their certainly cheaper but harder to mix on because the platter takes ages to speed up to full speed, try and get some second hand direct drives ? the difference is alot bigger than one would think

[DJzazzor]

is it easy to scratch on ???

[woolensheep192]

lol i reckon a torque doesnt really matter when you have butter rugs with flying carpets underneath :P ... but still get direct drive

[djflatlineonedove]

belt will not hold up in a club so u are way better off wit vynal i myself hav the kam ddx5000 and it has da highest torque on any deck including ANY TECKNICS DEX

[Stringyheads]

I love all your vids there realy informative, Direct, clear and easy to understand and from someone who knows what there talking about.

I like you unbias style so no one can ask for better than that. Cheers.

[Inkv7]

hey bro...s how do you use the usb turtables to download new songs like for example lil wayne on to a record? peese whrite back

[beatledude9]

you can't

[metalsinani]

@Inkv7 download onto a record? nah man, records have to be cut using a specialised machine, the majority of people dont personally have the facilities to cut their own vinyl. this turntable is for saving your records onto a flash drive, not the other way around

[LazyGamerMike]

Do u use records on turn tables or digital songs from mp3? I am an idiot and new to this so plz explain

[BecomeFear]

What if you want to scratch dj. I want to get a certain turntable that comes in belt drive for a cheaper price. Could i still scratch on a belt drive?

[OT6]

You can scratch on belt drives but you need an insane amount of light touch to the tables.

If you have baby elephant hands (aka you're pounding on the platter) you're looking at the music starting up very slowly or even breaking the belt.

[clarkshapedbox]

well wouldnt the slip mat help at all?

[JackovdaBoro]

a little trick that works is if you put smaller elastic bands on a belt driven turntable it gets more powerful like the a direct i know it sounds daft but it does work.

[NjoyYourMusic]

try cypress hill in a mix they usually sound ace in n mix

[Mun0z387]

Exactly how fast do I have to scratch with a Belt Driven Turntable before the belt breaks? (I'm kind of on a budget so I wanna use Belt drives)

[MBnjmn]

i don't think scratching is even possible on a belt driven table. They are just not strong enough powerwise for all that wear.

[Mun0z387]

Haha I guess i have to hold the platter still and then scratch

[Mun0z387]

never mind. I'll just use slipmats and wax paper to help me :)

[wisteela]

Cool info and advice dude. That's great how it can record.

[YingYangCrew]

how much cost the turntable (from the right ) ?

[djgiggscom]

Im still not sure, Im getting a BIG deal for 2 vinyls belt drive and a mixer, should I go ahead and buy some brand new direct drives or go ahead with some 2nd hand belt drive?? Its really for radio and mess around use. I need to know for Friday!! :D

[oOdizzOo]

dont do it bro!!!!!

get new directs!!

ur gonna regret it trust me man

just wait up and get the direct drive

its wirth it

[djgiggscom]

Nice one buddy

[BLITZ4209mmKuSHSmoKe]

how much did you pay for the belt drives? i got two direct drives for 60 bucks

[djgiggscom]

endedup not getting them, they were €120 around 170 bucks, BIG DIFFERENCE, what make are they?

[dubbelfristie]

Kom op hoor...

Laat dit soort troep nou eens links liggen.

De Reloop rp-4000 gaat voor haast niks weg en is 1000x beter dan dit soort rubish.

Lijkt wel alsof de beste man betaald krijgt om dit soort onzin te verkondigen....

[krithiam]

so on a risk of soundin stupid can u scratch with belt drive turn tables?

[allboutk]

yes, if you got skills and set up the cart properly, belts have more pull compared to cheapy directs (which often stop rotating with the slightest pressure). Obviously there nothing compared to technics or vestax.

[bizarreparadox]

Yeah I would be quite sceptical of that, if your thinking of scratching i wouldn't even consider a belt drive.

[djprotojeex]

what are you talking bout yes you can scratch but dood there is no belt drive that will have more anything then the worst direct driv. you can learn to mix on belt drive thats bout it. i learned on belts that had to be push started I.E start spinning the platter myself. but belt drive blows i was never happier when we got rid of belts.

[rhymezee2k6]

go try scratching with belt drive, its fucking horrible, it takes forever for the table to start playing the sample again after you pull it back

[db332y]

yea i'm trying to learn how to beatmatch on belt drives.... i guess u get what u pay for

[hate8766654321]

dam that record is warped

[djpr0test]

nice to make a mix on a belt

[sonicboom333]

I ran out of space but basically.

if it's hard to mix with then it's recorded sound will float about as much, and you will be adjusting the pitch on your CDJ just as much, as on the deck straight to the mixer.

Or am I totally wrong?

[Chazland]

If you are useing this TT to simply transfer your vinyl to flash drive i don't see why you would need to touch the pitch - i think J was reffering to adjusting the pitch when 'in-the-mix....it floats'

[sonicboom333]

He did say it was less resposive to get it into beat (less torq), but he also said it was harder to KEEP in beat. To me it sounded like he got it beat matched and the pitch floated out of beat match = pitch float.

Be interested what J has to say on the matter

[shermlindcastle]

I don't think the pitch will float if not messing about with the pitch control. After all, a lot of audiophile turntables are belt-driven. I could be wrong though.

[sonicboom333]

Thanks for the help and info :)

[ellaskins]

to sonicboom333, you do need to take more cere when beat matching as the pitch will glide, but it's for recording so best set the pitch to centre and dont touch. j

[sonicboom333]

I have a question and would like some help on it as I really am intersted in getting one of those decks.

QUESTION,in the above vid did you say you had a harder time to keep it beat matched?meaning the pitch floated a bit yes?. Fine it's not for DJING/mixing but for recording your vinyl. BUT!!!! if the pitch floats then the pitch in the recording on the CD is going to float MEANING when you use it in a cdj, it will be a bit like a belt drive CDJ.

Does that make sence?

[ellaskins]

to sonicboom333, V good piont!, it will only float when you move it, this is due to the platter trying to catch up with your movements on the pitch. When at the centre position/ no movement/ no gliding/ perfect stability of the speed/bpm. j

[sonicboom333]

Thank you for the info, I really think I will have to get one then.

Thanks for your time. :)

[RoyKerkhoven]

oh that is said m8

watching the video right now what do you tink is the best for startin dj belt or direct>?

and what is the diverince in price

want to use vynl turn tablle whit timecode vynl's and a dj program ofc.

[yvesmdjgryphon]

my brother started out with very cheap belt-driven TTs, but changed quite quickly to direct drive, because the handling is different and he wanted to be able to properly use direct drive TTs at a gig.

I think with the new "super-oems" the price difference is less important, so if you're sure you'll spend your money well, I would go for direct drive immediately.

[deafimplant]

the record on the left has seen better days. i had a whole bin like that after forgetting about them in my car during the summer.

[yvesmdjgryphon]

I noted the bump as well :)

My grandfather once forgot an old 7" in direct sunlight. It got a 3" high bump :D
