It used to be that using CD for mixing was rather frowned upon, but I just caught Thiervery Corporation using that new Pioneer CD Turntable. I was wondering what the general opinion of the CD tables was.
I will say this, having messed around with them they do have a good feel to them. When you want to scratch like your DJ Shadow you can, although not as precise. I like them alot but it's not vinyl, and since I have mess load of CDs I would like to purchase these tables to go along with my Numarks. It would be fly mixing a Placido Domingo cut with something from Bostich.
Well I have a DJ related question. What would be a good but relatively cheap setup for someone looking to get into DJing. Not as a profession but just as a hobby.
I suggest the Numark TTX200 they're a great deal. They have very good torque for scratching and the sort. They'll run you about 185$ a piece. And your gonna need a mixer, I suggest a Vestax 3 channel. I suggest you buy a used one if you can find one. They're rock solid but are pricey if you buy them new. A used Vestaz will run you about 110$, a new one about 300$ for an entry level vestax. It's kinda impotant to get a 3 channel, because that way you can hook up a drum machine or sampler. A litttle tip for ya, brush up on your turntable info or else watch out. These little boutique where they sell tables are looking for a sucker to pay 200$ over wholesale price. Also don't forget the needles or stylus they'll can be expensive I like the DJ Craze Stanton edition.Those fellas will cost a combined 100$.
