BELT DRIVE TURNTABLE NEXT TO A DIRECT DRIVE.

[MultiJester123]

im getting numark tt1610's that r belt drive. could i at least scratch/mix with them like a normal dj?

[xXkizza11Xx]

my stanton t60s have 4 holes in it but i think its a direct drive turntable



[articicejuice]

Recording MP3 from a vinyl is *stupid*. At least CD-quality or better (like those 24-bit 96 KHz rips) is acceptable.

[mickyloughlin]

can you do potery on these guys ???

[armauniizbeasty]

I have a belt drive. Is it better or worse to do gigs with the belt drive

[bensolloway]

@armauniizbeasty Depends what you're doing? A belt driven deck is terrible for actual turntableism!

[armauniizbeasty]

@bensolloway well its actually not bad. the scratching sucks but i will try to do my first gig this summer

[NapalmMixes]

@armauniizbeasty Worse

[MrBicycle15]

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

[indysoundman1]

Neither of these two turntables are actually any good, buy a Rega, vintage Technics, Pioneer or Denon, or any dcent vintage machine if you want to delve into vinyl and want sound quality. people, do research. Don't waste your hard earned money on these junky peices of junk.

[MrRangshay]

i have a belt drive turntable and i dont know how to record my vinyl. how to do it..

[MrRangshay]

hey!i have a small request...i have a numark dj in a box which is a belt drive turntable.... i dont have a vinyl and my cartridge is broken...i can buy a vinyl but how can i rcord. there are only 3 things in it. the red pin,the white pin and the power plug.....how can i record the vinyl..........??please tell me....i beg u

[0000song0000]

well i have 2 belt drive... the best of it, is that when you think that somethings broken... generally its just the rubber band (belt) that is out of place =)

i guess with direct drive if it gets broken it is more expensive to fix it...

[haibert95]

can you still scratch with a belt drive?

[0000song0000]

@haibert95 i do

[wrabit79]

i don't know why turntable sellers tend to think that only techno djs want to buy turntables..either belt or direct drive is good to just listen to vinyl....when you ask wich is best they assume you want to scratch...instead of telling what is the best sounding output

[moderndayrambo]

will that kam platter fit on my mk2?

[TheKkrriissii]

@moderndayrambo no.

[RAAB0601]

I currently have a very old Direct Drive turntable, the Technics SL-1950. Im not a dj but I would like to get into it. Id like to learn to mix and scratch but my technics turntable seems to be like a belt drive almost where if i were to spin the record backwards, it would take a second or two to get back to normal speed when I let go. Forgive me if this isnt clear, but if anyone does understand my problem, is there anyway to fix this problem by replacing the motor or the magnets?

[chupathingy99]

About the longevity of the direct drive, it does in fact wear down. It may take 20-30 years, but it does. I had an old Pioneer table that my father gave to me, and it was real temperamental about proper speed. Most of the time it played just fine, but sometimes it would start slowing down and stop altogether, one time even playing backwards! Also the pitch adjust knob was bust. Any time it was touched, the table immediately slowed down.

[servenx3]

witch one is better ?

[StRuMzNdRuMz]

My brother owns a pair of DTI 1.8's which came out back in 2005.

The TT Record is the cheap lame knock-off of the DTI 1.8 direct drive

model.

[Seamonky72]

nice video

[poracas]

Great digs!

[mange96]

hi mate, can you make a review of the citronic mpcd s6? im buying 2 of em soon and id like to see what you can do with em =D

[willem161]

great vid

[traveler1820]

very helpful. i never know the difference between the two.

[ngasukowe]

thank you sir.............

[Itzoficial]

u really need to record vinyl after its gone through a mixer so u can eq it a bit. i use serato to rip my vinyl and its ok...

[PopExpo]

I'M mainly a record collector and listener and i play my records only on a technics sl-1200MK2 nothing else.

[pamirperdeci]

and i only swim in olympic pools nothing else haha jk. I love my technics.

[SLIMKUTT]

@pamirperdeci: I really DO LOVE my Technics 1210s, too !^^

...and I ask you: Is there actually another choice ?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !^^

[lemljh1]

on direct drive turntables, can you use them for a dj software

[jn45672]

Whats the best beltdriven turntable i can get that can record my viynls to mp3

[Christisms]

Stanton T.55 USB

[nightvision01]

The KAM looks exactly like the Reloop RP-6000 MK6. Same specs either heh?

[djroxos]

why don't they make a chain driven turntable? :D JUST JOKING!

[megatom81]

One major thing you left out of this otherwise informative video is the added noise that comes along direct drive turntables. It's not such a big deal when DJing in already noisy dance halls and is more than made up for with its more accurate cueing and ability to hold the platter still at your chosen cue point... but in home use and for other times when pristine audio quality is more important, belt drive is the way to go.

[Kidman848]

Belt drive turntables are rubbish. I have never heard any noise or rumble come from my Technics 1200's. I dont know why they still bother to make belt driven turntables. They are difficult to mix on.

[beatledude9]

there are people who use turntables not just for mixing bro...

[SLIMKUTT]

@beatledude9: Yeah, scratch the fuck out of 'em !^^

I think I'll wreck those turntables in hours, and the American Audio in minutes...

LOOOOOL

[OfficialDJNOX]

@beatledude9 and there are videos for those people too... BRO

[megatom81]

@Kidman848 Because not everybody uses turntables for mixing. If you don't hear the difference between a good belt drive and a direct drive, then perhaps your equipment isn't suited for critical listening.... or maybe your ears are just rubbish. Of course neither of the TTs in this video are particularly great examples of quality direct or belt drive TTs in general.

[DrunkMonk101]

this video cuts off at some point. Re up please

[drakeconstant]

which one do u recommend?

[Javierm0n0]

thanks for that bit of info man. Much appreciated!

[WTXUnderdog]

in germany its called "Riemenantrieb"

i´ve got a huge Riemen in my pants too loool

[upthedirttrack]

both fukin wank decks y put this video onhere ??? get sum technics and a cd recorder u num nut

[aaadogman]

ive just realized my turn tables are belt drive , though the belt is interbal ...u cant see it...but there is no magnet,,,,grrrrrr.......maybe this is why iam having to constantly beat match

[Jellybeantiger]

Direct Drive are the greatest tables.

If you want your records with the pitch accuracy of cds but with the beautiful sound of vinyl,get a DD.

I can hear the deviations in a belt drive in 2 secs ,even from "audiophile " tables played on You Tube.

I'm thinking of getting a used mk5 technics.

Can't wait any longer lol.

Too much drooling .

[Mun0z387]

The pitch fader on my direct drive has to be at +8 pitch to be perfect, anyone know why?

[ramzevans]

33/45?

[nightvision01]

The KAM (the Reloop RP-6000 MK6 looks actually the same) has 33/45 and if u press both buttons u get 78.

[jemjem1974]

Man, you are a Legend. I love the way you go into the details so that each and everyone can watch and learn....keep up the great work.

[hugeSLIPKNOTfan1]

where can you get a kam turntable

[danhatechav]

You can get them off ebay in whole packages for really cheap, like £180 For Two turntables and a mixer

[29Hz]

This "guy" and this "guy" - they're decks FFS!!!

[freedf6typhoon]

if you dont go for technichs go for the stanton str8150.they are the new standard

[studioboy28]

belt drive or direct drive! ummmmmm .come off it ,there just no competition direct drive any day

[grimslider75]

expert village can suck a dick when it comes to dj'ing

[carzakone333]

expert village is bullshit..

[fisherdan99]

u can suck dick u jackass

[reeniealabeenie]

direct drive all the way!!!!! i love my direct drive, need to replace my belt on the old takai though. go direct drive if you get the chance

[nathemm92]

haha you know when u compare it to the strongest torque direct drive its bound to look crap lol

[chinees2000]

I hate beltdrive it sucks!!!

[mm261989]

Thanks. Really have to research everything before purchasing your first turn table set.

[ash1223334]

thanks!!! very helpfull now i know the pro's and con's :D thanks keep the good work up.

[teendude16]

This dude is awesome, he is helping people with set up turntable and much more. Thank you ellaskins.

[problack101]

thank god i finally know the difference!

[ilwh00]

Hey J I was wondering if there is a way to hook up a pitch fader to a turn table that doesn't already have one.

[djincepta]

the KAM Turntable has such a resemblence to the citronic PD45...

Madness

[emericashoes]

can the direct drive rip vinyl to? And whats better for just playing and recording i thought the direct one would be better since its quicker and looks like it has a better response ?

[ramocc]

i got an direct drive turntable without an magnet ... is that ... erm, normal ? sry if u said it in the video, im german ... ;D

[peppissimo92]

practice % njoy

[ellaskins]

will do. j

[kelkillen]

Hi ive gota shit ION Ttable thinking about upgr8 what direct drive tt you recommend thats not so expensive.

[shotz2thadoubleglock]

There's really no point of buying shitty decks dude. You're looking to upgrade so you're probably serious about it. Go for Technics 1200's or at least Numark ttx's

[bogitobe]

Nice advice thanks :) , not only the "American Aoudio TT" belt drive response with a little delay but it also doesnt have the functions that the KAM DDX-500 :)has.

[onesound69]

belt drive TT's transfer less subsonic noise and mechanical chatter compared to direct drive which is why belt drive is superior for proper vinyl ripping purposes. if your going to buy this TT don't bother with the cart+stylus that comes with it its junk. get a Shure M44-G or 7 they provide clean deep bass, vibrant mids and crisp highs and won't reveal as much vinyl crackle which is key for ripping aged records. 2 answer another guy, this TT does not have the torque for scratching, u need direct

[KoheisVideos]

im thinkin bout getting the numark cdx's.. but im not sure, anybody have any suggestions?

[yellowbananas08]

can you scratch on the belt driven one? cos if you stop a moter it will burn out right?

[djjohnnybravo1]

Yes because you're not actually moving the platter when you scratch. Your just moving the record on the slip mat.

[DJLEE12345]

technically u cant scratch on a belt drive coz the platter is not sterdey enough and makes the stylus jump and u need a lot of torque coz wen u scratch on a belt the platter stops and u need the platter 2 be moving quick 2 make the different scratch sounds with the pressure and speed u put on the vinyl so it makes it impossible 2 do :)

[bigran232002]

Great Info

[ozcar504]

thanks for the vid, been wanting to buy my own tables and never knew the difference

[Mrbrigante02]

why do you gotta make us Americans look bad J? Huh Huh!!! lol j/k Great video man!!!!

[ErgoPondera]

hahaha, that A.Audio platter looks like a bin lid, so cheap n nasty, eugh. To be fair the Kam one LOOKS exactly the same as a 1200, nt sure if its as well built.

[fredomeireles]

some new tt's have a usb port for recording records to an hard drive or flash drive.

I have 2 belt-drive turntables because they cost 10% of a decent dd tt! in the future i hope i can buy 2 technics 1200.

[madhamster]

I still dont get it how this thing can record VYNIL o_O!?

[tool1661]

it has an input for a mp3 player

[sonicboom333]

GREAT video, I have 3 cdj's and want to add either a direct drive turntable or buy one of those vinyl recorders. BUT just cannot decide which patch to follow. Do the recorder kind of turntable, + 0r - to the end quality or will the mp3 be about the same.

[theminority5]

whenever i stop my technics sl-1200 it never can stop on a dime, in previous videos, i've seen you hit the stop button on a vestax turntable, and it stopped instantly, Just wondering if other people's doesn't stop quickly.

[sammyr112]

Very informative thanks

[djpr0test]

nice because i have a belt drive.

[craigk2000]

I take the the TT-Recorder can be also connected directly to a pc with the correct cable as well as a flash drive ?

[fmbighair]

once again, VERY informative video, I learned a lot. I've always wondered what the difference between belt and direct was. It would have been good if you went into a little more detail on the differences other than a delay when 'play' is pressed.

I have an old Pioneer table from the late 70's and it plays but the pitch wavers ever so slightly when the needle goes over a certain spot of the platter when a record is played? Do you think its the belt or something with the turn table itself?

[groovindj]

It could be that your turntable is rim drive. That is, it will have a small rubber wheel between the motor and the platter. What used to happen with those is that the rubber wheel would develop a flat spot where it rests against the motor (or the platter) when not being used. The when you do use it, the wheel bumps every time it gets to the flat spot.

[DJYwe]

I have a old Belt Drive set, but I am planning to get me a set of Synq XTRM-1's

Normally I use CDJ800's but I want to dust of my vinyl tracks.

Exelent Video's, keep up the good work!

[reinohh]

I can recommend synq ;) I have lots of videos done with them...
