I played on a Stanton table last night,,, it was the first time I hadn't used Technics. I tried to mix one track and it felt like I was using a broken turn table. I got a good laugh out of it,,, and now I fully understand why people say what they do about techs.

SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY TECHNICS!!!

YOU WON'T REGRET IT

Which table?? It makes a big difference. I think the only reason everybody likes technics is because they don't make any cheaper models. With stanton...everybody tries to mix on like a...str8-30 or something, which yeah, is a piece of shit compared to technics, but is also 1/100 of the price. Then they assume all stantons suck, without trying the tables that actually are made to compete with technics.

Originally posted by dj osiris whats the key corection feature?

It's a button that, when pressed, changes the key back to normal but not the tempo. When you speed something up like..16% or something..everyone will agree that the track is definitely more high pitched. But if you turn key correction on, the tempo stays at +16% but it's not all chipmunky...it sounds exactly like the original track, only faster.

I love it, and I use it a lot. I agree with Darchinova though..for some reason at low pitch changes it sounds very slightly weird..could be described as echoish...but at low pitch changes you don't need it anyway so I just turn it off.

Originally posted by Sharpy I've owned both. DJ Darchinova what kind of music do you use the key correction feature with and do you use it in public (on a big system)?

I don't really ever use the Key correction actually as i mix Trance (duh!)..But for those DJ's out there who don't want chipmunk vocals on their dance or especially Pop/Urban music, it's vital. Past 5%, it sounds good, but below it... just don't use it unless you want an echo effect..

I have never seen the STR8-100's in any club except the MoS clubs, but they still would do a good job in any serious venue. Even though i mix with both Stanton's & 1200's (mostly), i can adapt to each accordingly and there is no serious trouble in either messing up my mixing.

Just one thing to note is the platter weights. The Stanton series has lighter platters than Technics, Gemini, etc. This gives it a quick start-up, but if you beatmatch by touching the platter, you have to be really careful as it can be a lot more sensitive than Technics' heavier platter. But if you want to be funny... use the pitch bend buttons.. its just to easy that way.
