3rd Deck
View this Thread in Original format

Hey, I was just wondering how many of you guys have a third deck?
Lately I've been wishing I had a third one, especially when I'm spinning techno.

I have, altho I can't use it at the mometn because my mixer only
supports two decks, but all that will change next month when I
get my Vestax PCV275.

I'm planning on getting a Numark TTX1 as my third deck when I get my bonus in Feb.

that should be cool as a third deck.
im assuming you have a matching pair for the first 2?

Sometimes when mixing techno on my 1200's I add another track off a cdj100 unit... thats untill I'll have money for a 3rd 1200 or the skills to justify it :D

so 2 cd decks and then a TTX1 for your third deck.... sounds like a good set up to me. I'd prefer to have 2 TTX1 with the mixer inbetween and the CDJ's on a raised platform above the turntables, or either side of the turntables.

yeah I am still contimplating whether I should go for a really good CD player, to spice up the sets, with newer tunes or just get a third deck. what should I do?

just curious in house and 3rd deck is primarly used for accepellas or just plain beats etc. when spinning techno how does the third deck come in? is it just like 3 tracks at once? cause thats intense! respect to the beatmatching skills!

exactly that's why Carl Cox was one of the first DJ's to ever use 3 decks at the same time!:eek:

it's like that "row row row your boat" melody thing done in school
you will usually have 2 tracks playing at once
it sounds great when done properly
your mixing skills have to be good
cause one slipping beat and you correct the wrong TT...
everything just falls to
i just want to add 2 cdjs, a sampler, and maybe a synth or drum machine or something like that
