[g4mmo]

wheres your dominant hand at?

in the crossfader or the vinyl?

[DubSpot]

@g4mmo really it's personal preference, different djs will use different methods but it's totally up to you. It is a great exercise though to practice both and work on your ambidexterity.

[colbertvp]

these videos have helped me tremendously. thank you dubspot and dj shiftee!

[DubSpot]

@colbertvp thanks! Let us know what type of other tutorials would you like to see?

@DubSpot

Love all the vids, is it possible to list the best order for a new dj to attack these vids?

[DubSpot]

@Kalosius basicaly start with mild and work your way up the hotness scale :)

[DJDRAMAinc]

@DubSpot - What would really help is if there was a site with the audio files to download and use in conjunction with the video.

[YeahItsSpinnin]

@ozycar get technics ,used ones best choice ive ever made! and any mixer with innofader or a vestax/rane(crossfader heaven?;))

[Alpinexpress]

your sense of humor is awesome haha

[Alpinexpress]

@ozycar I am a noob too and shouldn't probably be giving advice... but I have an Audio Technica AT-LP120 that I've been doing some spinning on... it's not a technics... but it looks exactly like the nice 1200's haha. but you can pick em up for pretty cheap, so give that a look maybe.

[ozycar]

@YeahItsSpinnin Anything a bit more affordable to begin with, or do you think i'd be better off splashing out and going straight for the top end?

[YeahItsSpinnin]

@ozycar technics turntables and a vestax or rane mixer

[ozycar]

What would you recommend as some good turntables and mixer simply for learning to scratch within traktor?

[InMiddletown]

These videos are awesome and hilarious. I really want to get a turntable one day.

[matics19]

I just picked up a Stanton T-90 turntable and RM3 mixer for cheap to start trying to scratch with. Can't wait to try out the techniques in these videos!
