hahahah

john has numark decks..

you should sell them to him

[nabs]

:P - I heard a lot of good things about the mixer, and the decks im gonna replace after a year anyway. im only trying it out. If i like DJing after a year then ima buy ttx1's. And DJ in a box is crap. lol. it has a belt driven decks.

[b0ld]

I hate to sound like a jerk here but have you done any reading on any aspects of djing such as beatmatching, pitch ranges, 4/4 bars.... etc....

Cause if you just plan on doing scratching with those tables you got and the mixer... your going to destroy it in no time..... The dxm06 really isn't made for scratching.... although it seems like numark tries to market it as a battle mixer with a shit load of gay effects on it....

[Akeel]

my cat wouldnt pee on a numark product.

[nabs]

im gonna use it for mixing, not scratching.

[scue]

I realize there are bad numark products and there old lines were garbage, but I really am tired of these technics elitists who can't bare to choose something else becasue they spent 900 bucks on these decks that wont die in 30 years. Alot of them I've met like to hop on topics about turntables and flood it with shit about every other tables blowing and that technics are the only choice if your not an idiot.. fucks sakes, get over yourself. get over your brand name I dont think anybody really cares what decks your rockin. If technics tried something new instead of releasing the same 1200 with 10% more pitch, then I would respect them more. I'm not raggin on the tables themselves but the motherfuckers who feel it's their right, duty and obligation to talk shit about every other piece of hardware becasue they're afraid to admit there MAY be a better choice, they want to protect their investment by getting people to buy them more, or are just idiots acting like jerks (or vice versa).

Not directed to anyone in specific, mainly to other people I've met.. Go ahead call me a moron but the high numark shit is lovely. 500's and x1's are the shit man. If technics could attempt to incorporate some of the features, then yes, there wouldn't be a need for any other deck. But untill then, calm down.

edit- yes I've tried both...

Yea b/c techs had a huge head start on everyone else. Technics had the patent to the magnetic brushless motor found in the 1200s mk1 and mk2 for 20 years and no other company could copy that design until 5 years ago. thats why you have seen an abundance of tables come on the market lately trying to really compete. It is hard to change what is the standard, and techs have been the standard b/c of their patented design. Now there are tables out there that are even better than the 1200 but its hard to turn heads when there is this Techs are the best mentality. Ive had 6 sets of techs and a pair of ttx1s and now my next setup is going to be the american audio tables. they look pretty solid and worth the money IMO. I think its always worth checking whats available in the market, try new products out and not be so 1 track minded when it comes to new shiat.

my 2 cents.

[Akeel]

the american audios are actually a really well made table with a good price point!

hey ryan, wait till you see what i'm doing to my techs dude, i'll post a pic as soon as the first one is done :P

[nabs]

If you guys read, im only trying out the Djing thats why i didnt want to blow my money on techs, maybe after a year or two ill go for a TTX1 or a pair of nice tech decks, but now while im EXPERIMENTING i dont think i should go overboard on things I may not even like doing.

thank you, i'm surprised no-one else has mentioned the patent

edit___ haah I just looked at the american audio site and read the catalog, the first deck, whatever it is (not to be a bitch to either company, totally honest) it[the DTI 1.8] looks like a ripoff of the tt500/tech12's. the platter design, the tonearm, speed buttons, power button, popup light, pitch control ) haha look at that and a 500 plus a t12.. look so similar.. not disregarding the quality in anyway since I've never tried them

yo man --- another mixer question -- since u know everythin about them.:166:

on the pioneer 600 --explain the snd/rtn record edit option -- how they all work--

[ppcock]

numarks are ass
Cross faders will go first
The channel faders next
Then the EQ
then the actual channel will die.

Not bad for 2 weeks eh?

even for mixing you're gonna want solid EQ cuts, not bullshit ones.
My djx-700 is horrible for mixing, the cuts are too noticeable.

send/return is if you are using an aux. external fx box. the wet/dry knob controls the depth of how much fx you want on the selected channel.

record is for the sampler to record a sample

edit is used to to edit the length of the loop you just created.

i think the dropout rate of djs starting out on shitty decks is exponentially higher. my advice to any of my friends starting out is to get techs. theyre just so solid and precise. it's SO hard to mix on shitty decks. most of the time the torque is a joke and the pitch panels are not very responsive even to the best pitch mixer

i hate the ttx's as well... they have high torque n all whoohoo but theyre not precise. it's rare to get the beatmatch to the hundreth or thousanth like the techs can accompish with it's analogue interface. you end up having to constantly fiddle with it to fix the layer

[ppcock]

plus if you decide that you dont want to dj anymore.. you're not gonna get much for your decks + mixer.

[ebbomega]

Hein. I got started on some geminis that are actually quite quality compared to the other trainer decks I've played with. Definately not as good as tech 12s, but the transition between the two is rather flawless - just that the techs are easier to work with.

But Numarks, oh god the pain I've had trying to work those tables.

[Toxxin Ephekt]

man..I got a pair of CDJ 1000's, I'm rocking 4 decks, I read that you can hook up the CDJ's to the DJM ( both pioneer, of course)...that you can cue up tracks with the crossfader and cue back buy cutting it back out...just a kinda cool feature....you also can just press play on the CDJ..haha, I'm still debating about buying the 600, compared to the Xone 62...

[nabs]

you guys make a good point thoough, but i already paid for the 1650's ill rock em till they die, then ill buy some techs for sure then. thanks for the help.
