i´m really a trance dj (i have my computer hooked up to the tables so maybe soon i´ll upload a real audio mix), but i always try new thing i don´t like being stuck with the same thing...
here is the problem, i´m in south america and i can´t get vinyls i mean i just can´t the price is 4 times higher than europe or usa, scratch vinyls don´t exist at all, the 2 i had i got them from internet and they cost me a lot (like 50 dollars each):whip:
i wish i got to work as a dj in a club but thats very hard here too since most clubs aren´t dance clubs (i mean electronic music), most of them play latin music, and that comes on cd, i don´t want to give up on vinyl but how would u feel knowing that you can´t have new music... it has been almost half a year since i got my last record, i kept on practising with the same records over and over, coz i like them but there´s a point where it becomes more a work than a hobby, you know, listening the same records over and over, and NOT adding new ones...
about being a scratch dj, im far away from that, but i think if i could get hip hop vinyls or scratch lps, i would like to get more into that, but like i said, things here are very different from the north
anyway, i will keep the tables, i didn´t want to sell them in the first place, but it gets tedius having to play the same records all the time, maybe i should rest for a while and then get back to it
well, i hope you understand my situation:conf:
peace
PS: thanks guys, i realised that vinyl is what i love, altough having decks and cds wouldn´t hurt:crazy: |

| @ pontiac, I think scott thought you were a 'scratch' DJ because of the way you have your TT's set up (tone arm/pitch slider on the far side), which is very common in turntablism. :) |

yeah, i put them that way so the needle is away from where i make the scratches in order not to make it skip, also the scratch records behind and the shure m44-7 stylus on the tables complete the picture ;)
¨You're a scratch DJ Pontiac? Why would you even consider CDJ-100 if you are?¨
i was thinking about this, why can´t a scratch dj buy a cd player? i mean djing should be about trying new things and not the other way around

Scratchy seal on the right deck! youhou!
I never understood the deal about putting tape on the actual record to try to place your samples ? can you explain that to me better cause it seems that they just put a big piece of tape at the sample and then the record plays from that sample ... but were do you set the needle? edge of the tape?
I don't know if you understand my question ...
I do understand about setting tape in the middle for the twelve o'clock position. |

hi jdat, if u mean the sticker on record i use it to have a visual help, it helps me to know when a sample starts or ends, the seal picture doesn´t help so i put those stickers
i didn´t just put them randomly also, if i place the needle right i know where the sample i want start and ends so i don´t need to cue for it
hope it helps:D
