yes, so what i mean is. that 'humm' you get when you play the play the control vinyl without any output.

ok, i've mislabeled it. what i meant was FXs and features i'm likely to use

hey thanks for your replies. i guess i don't need that many. perhaps about 3-4 FX max. won't be doing much filtering during hip hop, but i suppose it could be somewhat useful for taking up EDM in the future. better have a play around with what's out there. thanks

not sure how useful it would be for hiphop mixing though (?). seems like those products are more useful for EDM - i could be wrong?

hey just curious what you think about various accessories whilst mixing. i'm predominantly mixing hiphop, so i just need a handful of features like echo, loops etc. nothing fancy. i've looked at few options ranging from traktor f1/x1, midi fighter etc etc. it all seems a bit too complex. new mixers have cue/fx/loop functions (ie rane 62) etc, which i currently do not have. any suggestions for a good reliable piece of equipment to work with serato dj/SSL +/- traktor ( the traktor part is not necessary though). do you think it'll be sufficient just sticking with serato remote? thanks sk

got a pair of these now (btw) - must say they are significantly loudner than then m44 on the control vinyl. sounds quality is comparable i think, but i'm only using a pathetic speaker system. next going to purchase the performance vinyl and check the quality....

did a search for it, came up empty. you must've contacted the manufacturer? think it's a very specialist cable esp when it comes to apple products. they don't use anything standardised which is a pain in the ass good luck

check out rholi rho for some inspiration dj angelo is also pretty nice on the juggles.

wrxfiend, i have a kontrol 2 and serato sl1. that's a good option actually, a lot cheaper as well! been reading about a lot of rane 62 hardware faults, poor quality etc. the traktor software is pretty good - i especially like the beatgrid now that i have a better understanding of the song structure etc. [off topic] - i think you have this feature on itch and serato dj, but not scratch live... oh well.

might give it a go!

ok, good to know. i'll stop when i'm told or when my search comes to an end

nice! gonna try it.

hehehe, people get emotional when times running out. this was a good deal to begin with, 1500 to secure some nice hardware - seemed worth it to me. some auctions allows the buy it now price to remain intact. i'm kicking myself about a maxed out macbook pro retina 15" (1tb, 2.6, 16gb) that went for $2500 (RRP 4099). was buy it now on ebay with offer as well. once they put that offer in, you get greedy and attempt to hustle for a few dollars hahah. needless to say i lost ->

thanks again for your continued input! wrxfiend - i saw that, but i have no vinyl i might check my control vinyl sleeves for that paper

any way of doing this on TTs? perhaps through DVS i suppose? better do my research...

thanks

hey all, just wanted to ask you about your opinion on slipmats. i have 2x stanton 150s. they both came with their original stanton slipmats that i feel are a little too 'sticky' for my liking, but i'm getting used to it slowly. i've heard of butter rugs, but are they TOO slippery? my level - beginner my use - predominantly mixing and very elementary scratching whilst cueing/mixing thanks again sk

hehe, i only noticed it myself now!

master temp = increase speed of song without changing the pitch?

interesting thread. just wanted to check, on average, how much can you expect to get off by haggling with the retailers (ie store dj). i'm pretty keen on a rane 62 and more recently they had a 15% EOFY sale on. there's one on gumtree for 1700, but too close to new price so not worth it (esp on gumtree). i agree with the sentiments posted earlier - ebay aim for 50% savings off RRP. gumtree even better i think, but more risky in my opinion, unless you really know your hardware in and out. the other complexity is actually seeing the seller face to face without the opportunity to give feedback - and that possibility of being bated and subsequently jumped for your cash hahah

go for the m44-7 - tried and tested. readily available. won't don't you get a second hand cart/styli? may be able to save a bit.

surely when BPMs are far apart, the song that needs to be sped up sounds too much like the chipmunks? in some cases it works, but not ideal, right? isn't it better to gradually move up the BPMs?

yeah, i am now. my traktor kontrol has sync
