does this have a soundcard built in?

[djaysoftware]

@laxplayer1199 Yes, the Spin has a built-in sound card with master out on the back (standard black/red RCA connectors) and headphones + microphone jacks in the front.

If you turn the plate with your finger on the outside, is it then moer accurate than if your are turning it on the inside? I'm thinking about beatmatching...

Is the idea alike the pioneers, for example the Pioneer CDJ 800?

[djaysoftware]

@ZenAtorDK If you turn it on the outside you can pitch-bend (slow down/speed up the song) to align the beats. Turning it on the inside will scratch. Basically like a turntable.

[ZenAtorDK]

@djaysoftware So is it more accurate, or is it going REALLY fast forward, just when you turn it a little bit?

[djaysoftware]

@ZenAtorDK Pitch-bend and scratching are two different functions, so it’s hard to say that one is more accurate than the other. :) Pitch-bend has very fine sensitivity though and is perfect for beat-matching.
