[NinjaLocc]

[Kifly95]

[gabe32194]

Does the tt-200 come with a cartridge and stylus included?

[DJGrooveStyle]

@gabe32194 There is a headshell included, but you will need to buy the cartridge separately.

[djPreshah]

what you using for a mixer there?

[Kifly95]

i'm getting turntables soon umm do turntables come with a needle or do you have to buy one seperate

[17sykes]

[SansanExnihilokingz]

[caliking10156]

I have the one where you can use ur ipod do you still need records

[GreenGOO52]

pretty sick minus you dry humping the table lmao jp bro, 5 stars

[aelproductions]

Sick shit im bout to get my 1st turntable, a numark tt200, are they good for scratching? thanks man

[aviwaviw]

@aelproductions, same. I was gonna get used tt1625s but they aint as good as these when it comes to scratching. Im just gona use virtual dj, cant bother finding crates of records just yet..

[mwanioyugi]

Thats why we have Serato, virtual vinyl, traktor and some other less viable software with interface. So that you dont have to lug crates around. I dont knock any DJ but I think playing music without proper instruments takes all the fun out of it.

[martyn3200]

These turntables are fine for scratching. the 1625s aren't great

[DOLNOSucan]

NICE

[17dumitru]

retro master verinyce

[djdmc24]

im a beginner DJ , im goin from using Pioneer CDJ100's to turntables w/ serato. i am looking at various turntables, i dont know much about them. i DJ parties, so i needa go setup.and i am highly interested in trying to scratch. Will the tt200's w/ serato be okay for me? i was goin for technics but i cant afford it lol. and ps) very nice scratch sesshh. love jump on it lol.

[DJGrooveStyle]

tt200''s will work fine, my tt200's have served me very well. I'd also look into the Gemini tt-04 turntable. If you can find them, they're great for the price! Also, something to thnk about would be to buy some used decks off of ebay or craigslist. I got some european technics off of craigslist for a really good price!

[tomer1224]

Sweet!! I know a place that's selling them for $290.

[julianbinder123]

@DJGrooveStyle Gemini sucks!

Stay w/ the numarks

[jjacktaylor]

@DJGrooveStyle Yeah I second that, eBay for used Techs you can pick up serious bargains. I've seen 1200MK2s go for under $300 a pair...

[julianbinder123]

@djdmc24 tt200's r great for starting out on vinyl/starting to use vinyl

[Loadfaster]

@djdmc24 : Its interesting to me, I bought turntables MOSTLY cause I NEEDED to know how to scratch...... Scractchin beat jugglin... got to do that. you should watch DJ Qbert videos.... great great usefull vids.....

[plojdf]

what kind of needles are those?

[DJGrooveStyle]

One's a cc-1 and the other's a tony touch cx-1 cart.

[paulymac]

dope! what records are you using? Thanks

[MrStoopidWiseman]

Those are two Numark TT200's right?

[DJGrooveStyle]

Yeah, they are and the torque's fine. It may not be the greatest, but it'll work for me, especially if you put nice slipmats on it.

[ComandanteRye]

hey, what kinda cases are those? cause i got a pair of tt200's as well and i've been looking for the right cases.

[DJGrooveStyle]

they're marathon cases. If it says it will fit a ttx, it'll fit the tt200's.

[djadam96]

How do you mod your fader to innofader

and can you do it on any mixer??

thanks......

[DJGrooveStyle]

you have to buy the innofader to do it. I'd check to make sure that you can do it by looking at the product website. They have a list of compatible mixers.

[ifur555im66623]

u have a Numark DXM09 Mixer

i want it

[BassBeatsProductions]

i am about to get into djing and i only have one question, what is the crossfader's function with the scratching?

[DJGrooveStyle]

a crossfader cuts up the sound, the motion of the record and cutting up the sound with the crossfader is what makes the different scratch sounds.

[BassBeatsProductions]

thanks. thats gonna help me alot

[Graphwize]

haha i have same record

[cCrome09]

title of song?

[jackbro321]

very good

[sU313]

is this the tables that comes with numark battle pack? i heard they're bad for scratching, are they too bad? i'm a begginer and im thinking about bying it

[DJGrooveStyle]

no, they're tt200's, the ones you're talking about are 1625's. Mine work for me right now. They don't have the most torque of anything, but I'm still able to do a lot with them. I put magic carpets on them for scratching and they work for me right now. So, for starting out I think they're great. Also, the Gemini tt04's are good decks for the price.

[plasticdigger]

is it possible to make such scratches with crappy turntables and a crap mixer? because my equipment sucks, it doesnt work.

in my mind good equipment is a must or? correct me if i´m wrong, i just started...some tips would be great

[DJGrooveStyle]

Yeah, if you have good equipment it can make things work a lot better. You don't always need to buy the absolute top of the line stuff, but it helps, for instance, to have a mixer that you can adjust the CF Slope on if you want to scratch. It also helps to have a turntable w/ enough torque to handle scratching. My best advice for starting out is to do a lot of research before you buy and find the best bang for your buck products and go from there. Let me know if you have any other questions!

[mind1987]

TT200's and a DXM06 then mod your fader to innofader thats the ultimate setup battle/club combination,technics turntables are so common already not unique anymore so stick to numark and your cool

[bosoxjrt]

yo i got that setup...how do you mod the fader to innofader ? thanks

[DOMINATERKID]

its because there the best. why would you try to be different and sound like crap?

[RavKolec]

Hey man, You place the CF Slope on crossfading or sharp?

[DJGrooveStyle]

I'll always put it on sharp. It makes for much sharper cuts.

[ganimber3]

how do you keep the right record always playing even when you fade out

[mck4real]

can you hook this up to a computer to make it work with dj software??Is this the Numark TT500

[DJGrooveStyle]

yeah, if you buy the corresponding hardware that works with the software. For instance, I use Torq, but I also use the torq connective and route my turntables through that in order to use my turntables with the software.

[remit109]

nice gear bruv, thats what im getting

[untox]

what records are those?

[DJGrooveStyle]

the records are called "scratch roulette 2" and "gamblin' Pete's million dollar blackjack breaks" lol good stuff.

[untox]

it seems really wierd i can't find it do you know where can i find the one with apache?

[kristhagreat]

318 Pounds = 636 Dollars

I'm getting a TT-500 for $170 (inc shipping) today. Maybe you should hold off on that deal :/

[untox]

wait kris 2nd hand or new?

[kristhagreat]

ebay used

[DJPaddy643]

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

[GRBuy]

Numark RLZ!!!!!!!! ;-)

[DJGrooveStyle]

I don't really know a lot about the mixers, but the decks would cost a little less than that price, so, I'd say that's a pretty good deal. Good luck to you, I hope it goes well!

[izanmarvel]

original set...Numark TT200 my future turntable in next days, until soon :-)

[n33d4sh33d]

this my fav. vid u have its sick

[cobainyboy]

[jdog634]

[cooomeOn]

for 300€ you get a numark tt 500!!!!

[katkiriakou]

thank you very much...see ya

[katkiriakou]

the tt200 has 300 euros and the mixer has 315... i live in greece/ athens...very nice turntable..but please let me know where can i find nice songs on vinyl.. thank you.

[DJGrooveStyle]

The "Ugly Duckling" records are always good for general hip hop stuff to scratch to, it just takes a lot of looking until you find something you like.

[katkiriakou]

have the same gear.. perfect!!!

[katkiriakou]

numark tt200.. the best turntables..and very cheap in my country.. also DXM09 is the best mixer!

[Litschgi]

how much are they? and where do you live?

[1971Dados]

Numark rules.....goood one....

[INoukIRecordI]

DAmN! thats nice!,

[lospn]

[ligart]

Get with it folks, this song is older than mud! en.wikipedia . org/wiki/Apache_%28tune%29

[RenBB]

Awesome scratching skills dude :)

[dylanthepimp]

actually if u knew anything about hip hop you would know this song is actually by sugar hill gang

[bizzyfingers]

nope, wrong is apache. do a search

[rollershoer4life]

If you knew anything you would no about sampling moron.

[mitchwolos]

The beat is The Incredible Bongo Band - Apache which is the track anyone who knows anything about hiphop knows.

[rangbird]

nice!

[gunsnbam]

I really like your videos bro. Iv been thinking about getting the same set up as you too so its nice to see it in action.

[DJGrooveStyle]

yeah, I like it a lot

[bizzyfingers]

ive got a tt200, its far better than my sony dj 9000's that i had. come check my vids. im yet to do a few vids of my tt's because you-tube wont do quick capture for some reason

[SuperNesk]

What is the beat you scratching on?

[dylanthepimp]

ya man that sounds good..i know you got some nice ass needles but how are the tt200's ive been thinkin of gettin em...

[DJGrooveStyle]

def great for the price, if you have the means, I'd jump for a ttx, but hey, they work great for starting out, and I love 'em.... I'm definitely keeping mine for a while until I can afford ttx's

[djinnes07]

can you tell me what records you are using in this routine?

[DJGrooveStyle]

the break is off of "Million Dollar Blackjack Breaks" the other record is called "Scratch Roulette" vol. 2

[jhonnyboyzzz]

OK! thanks!

[jhonnyboyzzz]

why do you need the third channel of your mixer?

[DJGrooveStyle]

just for an extra input... when I do gigs, I'll have the two turntables hooked up, and my computer hooked up to the third input. I'm trying to work my way towards digital, either with a CD turntable or Torq

[DjStinkles]

torq. trust me

[djthunda13]
