  • there's nothing wrong with belt-drive

  • Considering that you're possibly the first person ever, to have a turntable belt "slip off", I don't think "delicate" is the descriptive word I would use. Maybe "jinxed" or "cursed" would be more accurate since I've never heard of (let alone ever seen) a belt slipping off of a turntable & I grew up in the 1960s & 70s with parents of a thrift shop, so I've literally seen thousands of belt drive turntables in various degrees of working & non-working order.

  • Well, I can scratch on a belt drive turntable until the belt slips off. Can you? I mean, I'm not lying. It sounds pretty good. Guess ya just gotta be slick and delicate like me, eh.

  • Your comment shows that you have no idea what you're talking about. The reason you use direct drive turntables for DJing isn't because DJing causes a belt to slip off, it's because belt drive turntables have less torque which causes the platter to slow down or stop rotating when your hand is manipulating the the record.

  • I can actually scratch with a belt drive- I learned via necessity- I could pop in there and slip the belt on right quick and get right back on the groove hahaha

  • i still have some, and dis video gives me some ideas how to use them

  • Most Direct Drive turntables sound like crap. The only half way decent sounding Direct Drive turntable I've ever heard are the Technics 1200 & 1210 turntables, but almost any Belt Drive turntable at half the price will sound a lot better. Unless you're using some really crappy cartridge. But since this video is tagged "turntablism" & "scratching" sound quality isn't an issue. For scratching Belt Drive turntables are useless, but every Scratch DJ wannabe has known that since the 1970s.

  • Finally.. a use for belt drive turntables!
