usb turntables??

what do you guys think about these? supposedly it makes converting vinyl to mp3 easier.



quote:
A MODERN CLASSIC WITH COMPUTER CONNECTIVITY.
The TTXUSB stands alone among professional turntables because it was exclusively designed for the modern DJ, with a silicon rubber base that absorbs vibration and dampens low end feedback, and an interchangeable tone arm system that adapts to any DJ style. The TTXUSB, like its predecesor, features user-variable torque. The TTXUSB also delivers versatility and control thanks to an illuminated output bay, a built-in BPM counter, and interchangeable S-shaped or straight tonearms. Best of all, the TTXUSB's built-in USB connector simplifies connection to a computer for fast, professional grade vinyl-to-digital transfer.
As an added benefit, vinyl-to-digital conversion takes just a few mouse clicks thanks to the bundled EZ Vinyl Converter software; a new program available exclusively to Numark that quickly converts vinyl tracks directly to iTunes.
Additional features include digital outputs for direct sampling, Key Lock and ±50% pitch control for unprecedented mixing options. The TTXUSB remains ahead of the game and delivers a new standard in turntables by expanding the possibilities of vinyl.

As long as it's direct drive you should be okay for DJing, but I don't think any of these TT-->USB-->MP3 decks can convert to anything above 192 kpbs yet, so it kind of defeats the purpose IMO. It's good if you just want a basic all in one backup though I suppose.

^Agreed would be nice if it could go strait to AIFF but 192k MP3? No es bueno. Novel concept tho. I say get a regular TT and hook it up to a soundcard and rip that way.

And by the way, tho I find BPM counters kind of take the fun out of muixing I've always been curious - how accurate are the numarks for BPM? I once heard they were worth fuck all... anyone have any input?

Ion or Nu Mark?

Hey people,

I'm looking for a way to transfer tracks from vinyl to a digital format. I've come across the following two items:

Ion iTTUSB Turntable with USB Record
.



Numark TTUSB Turntable with USB:



I'm leaning towards the Numark system as it looks more professional? I'm not looking for a TT to mix with, just something to use to transfer vinyls to wave/mp3. Which system do you think would be better, the Numark or the one from Ion Audio? Thanks.

Seems to me they're pretty much the same, they even look the same. We got the Numark for my dad and it does the job just fine, though the software that comes with it is just Audacity which is freeware anyway...
