Hi! I'm trying to find a record of just sound FX that I can mix into my set. Needing the reggae vibes with the classic air Horne and stuff like that. Anyone know if this exists?

I had this issue where only the right turntable output came out of the left side and the left tt out of the other side.

Ich have tried plugging everything in all possible orders and the right tt is now working properly coming out of both speakers but the left tt is still only coming out of the left speaker.

I have also powered everything on in the right order following the manual.

I appreciate your help.

Yoo. Started djing almost 20 years ago, still have my stanton/vestax turntables and mixer. But wanted to jump into something more modern and decided between one of these two controllers without breaking the bank. Is the rane one still a good option these days ? Was heavy into scratching but planning on being like 50/50 with scratching and mixing.

How are the faders on these for serious scratching. I know the rane one has the same mag four fader as ranes top mixers, but I read the cut in curve is software controlled? Is it able to be adjusted to be as sharp as a cut in on traditional battle mixers?

The REV5 uses the magvel fader(not the pro version found on their higher end gear), again how is the curve/cut in for precise scratching?

Also, what would you guys choose between the two at this time? REV5 is newer, works with rekordbox and serato which I like- I know djs that play out and they all use rekordbox these days. Rane has motorized platters, a better fader(?), and rane build quality is better from my experience.

Thanks for any help.

Hi everyone,

My setup :

Technics SL-3310 --> Numark M3 (mixer) --> Tascam DR05X (acting as audio interface) --> Computer (Macbook)

My problem :

I dug into the world of vinyl ripping. Thought I had the good setup, but turned out there's always a electrical noise coming from my mixer (I narrowed down the problem) which I can't get rid of. I don't hear it while the song is on but on the very beginning or at the end of a song where the volume come down again I hear it and it's very disturbing. I'm sure it's not a grounding problem and I tried different electrical paths and it's really coming from the Mixer. I also tried a different power cable and it didn't work out. I connect my turntable through the rca cables in the back of the mixer on ''PHONO''.

What should I do next?

I'm currently looking for going into the Scarlett 2i2 and connect it with Art Pro Audi DJPREE-2 Phono preamplifier with RCA to 1/4 inch cables. But that would cost me a little more than 260$ (canadian dollars). Is there a way to get rid of the electrical noise? Did I narrow the problem correctly? What do you think I sould do next? Looking for ANY recommandations.

I hope you are all doing fine. What have you been listening to recently?

Many thanks for your kind help!

Howdie! Did any of you out there tried the M447 for dvs? I have 2 headshells with m447 elements (that came with a pair of pdx 2k's) but never tried them, as put on the ortofons i've been using (for traktor) as soon I hooked the decks up, resulting in the rather pitiful sight of the 447's lying on their back on my console like 2 stranded fish ever since (I know, straight up blasphemy ;S ) Hence my question; besides using them for vinyl, would they make a good pair of elements (in combi with those Jico 44-7 I guess)? Would appreciate your inputs. Pz!

I’ve seen so many different takes on this. Flipping the weight around. Different calibration methods. If brand new Jicos are still skipping , I either need a tune up or….??

Hi! Does anybody know how have they scratched samples not from vinyls back then? For example this one: https://open.spotify.com/track/2HNLAOb5OpxAUfOzY6VCTh?si=5437f93faa564da2, I dont think that they had a vinyl with "dj shadow" sample. Have they used a cdj? This might be a bad example, but you get the idea

Anyone know where to find a counterweight or something that will fit this type of table?

Hi, i started mixing music ( Mainly Liquid DNB ) 2 years ago and I am thinking about switching to turntables.
Do you have any ideas which ones should I buy ? My plan is to buy 2x Reloop RP 7000 MK2 and an Allen Heath Xone 43 mixer (just in case I wanted to buy +CDJS in the future). I guess I will be mixing 90% DVS 10 % vinyl.

Since I have zero experience with turntables and vinyl, I would love to read your thoughts on this :D .

I dont want to spend a fortune but at the same time I understand the fact that its not the cheapest hobby, my budget is about 1700 euro.

Hi! I recently bought tt-200 turntable with a new reloop concorde black, it works properly, but when I plug it to my pc, I hear the music, but I also hear loud buzzing and clicking. Then I tried pluging it in to an old yamaha RX V350 reciever that I found in my garage (outputs a quiet white noise when idleing), but the problem is the same. I used the same cable for both, it's from that old yamaha and I don't have a ground cable. What could be the issue?

In the early 90s I used to buy tapes from my local record shops of mixed of beats with film samples scratched through. No idea who the DJ was, and I've lost all the tapes over the years. Can anyone recommend anything in the style of V is for Vengeance by Deckwrecka or The ABCs of high fidelity by DJ Revolution?

Dear All, I know CD is a banned word in the turntablism world but I have a little collection of them and I would be happy to listen to them again, so I was wondering which player would recommend to best control them (from scratching to mixing)?

I already have turntables and a mixer so I'll be happy to had that to my setup.

Happy to hear you opinion 😉

just need a 9” CRT to start sampling VHS and we’re SET

I have always cut with two 12's and needles, but despite having a ton of vinyl, I find myself using mostly DVS these days. The idea of doing anything without needle dropping still seems foreign to me, but I guess cue points solve that issue.

The real reason I am looking at Phase is because of my kids! I am teaching my 2 boys (8 &10) how to cut, and they get pretty rough with it. I cringe every time one of them turns on the decks and drops the needles. With time, they will learn the deal, but I'd rather not go through 10 styluses to get there....

Is Phase solid now? I remember a lot of DJ's had issues when it came out. Outside of rechargeable batteries and the $$, what are the drawbacks? What makes them dope?

Alright there..

I'm currently adding to my setup at home, which will be mainly used for ripping vinyl and the occasional Mixcloud session. I'm using a pair of MkIII Technics turntables, Ortofon Concorde MkII Mix twin stylus and an Omnitronic TRM 222 Rotary. Now looking to rip some vinyl at a decent quality for editing and playing about/edits.

All of the interfaces like Scarlet 2i2 and M Audio are up for consideration too, but I was wondering what anyone's preference would for an interface for these purposes.

completely unrelated question but I was listening to Liquid Swords yesterday and I realized shadowboxing has kung fu clips behind the beat being scratched over.. How did they go about doing this in the 90s??? Were they scratching with the cassette ? Now I could load anything into DVS and scratch it but in 1995? Enlighten me.

I’m looking to upgrade/update from my 2011 MacBook Pro and Rane 57sl running Scratch Live. I don’t dj out anymore, I like to practice scratching at home. That’s my focus nowadays, keeping sharp on the cut and learning the advanced scratches. I’d like to spend under $2000 on a mixer, laptop/tablet and phase.

I’m leaning towards the Rane 70 as the 57 has has worked flawlessly. It’s a great mixer. The laptop/dvs/phase is where I’m pretty green….

Any suggestions and knowledge shared is very much appreciated!

Just got this for 120€ on eBay today but as I was picking it up from the seller the motor did not seem to work. I thought that I will still get it for that price because it seems like an easy fix. LED is working and even shows that the motor is turning back and forth. Do y’all have any quick suggestions what it could be or had similar issues? Thanks in advance, peace!

Beyond Keitaro, Koco, Rena that are kind on a spotlight, I see lots of”bedroom” DJs on instagram (e.g Junya, Ta98, Shihohira, Shingo takahashi etc) with crazy technical skills and selection. I wonder what’s up with Japan? Is their philosophy influenced on routine practice? Do they have lots of DJ schools focused on turntablism? How come they are so dope?
