Hi , i just baught 2 used turntables for a nice price :) But unfortunatly i can't get a mixer just yet :( The turntables have a pitch control wich you must turn, but now this guy i know tells me that for beat matching you need a pitch control wich you can slide to be able to beatmatch :(.. is he right, and if so why?
sot
yes you need a pitch control on turntables so u can adjust the speed so u can match em and yes u also need a mixer. goto http://djsource.co.uk to find more information on dj'in and what to get (im to lazy to tell u myself lol). return those tables asap if they dont have a pitch control.

good luck :)

as long as its got pitch control, its good
and i dont think this dude above me read your entire thing...

you can get the turning pitch control to work. But if you ever have to work on a technics, you're screwed!
Just for fun, these are ok, but they also are more difficult to learn, cause they move only a little distance so fine-tuning takes a lot of "feel".

Thanks, i tought it should be possible with these myself.. and yes it may be harder but that's only better i guess. When i manage to do the beatmatching with these i'll probably sell and get myself some technics but first i wanna know for sure i've got the feeling and everything for it since otherwise it would be a bad spent buck :)

thanks..

buy yourself some TECHNICS you'll be soo happy u did

trust me on this one.....all other turntables cant even come close to the Technic feel

You are totally right I've tried stantons, vestaxs and others but none came close to the feel of a tech. It is the only way to go.:D
sot
woooops disregard my post above..imma dumb ass and i read to fast

:confused:
Mojo
Okay so the feel of a technics is better , i believe that .. but what does it matter for some simple beatmatching?
djdawn
they may be not as accurate as the technics, which might make beatmatching more difficult, as I said. But it's possible. Don't let them force you into spending 800 $ when you only want to spend 300$.

Thanks, at this moment that's exactly how i think.. if i can't do some beatmatching with these i won't even have to buy technics because i probably won't get the feeling with them anywayz.
