That would certainly get you started, just be aware that the fader in any second hand battle mixer is going to be thrashed and mixers with visable screws holding the x fader are going to catch your nails alot more than you would think (and it really hurts) , that said you could easily fit an innofader to it later on and then it would be pretty bulletproof. If going second hand look for vestax pmc 05 models. Thats what i learnt on and its still going strong at the skrewloose practice lab.

Thanks alot for feedback wrx , helps so much man

It will be 200 for the 2 Stanton decks and mixer,  is it worth it? 

[Cupe]

$200 is like a few hours worth of drinks at a bar

 

To end up with 2 decks and a mixer for that price is worth it any day of the week

Hey  quick question,  is there a way to connect your turntables to your  serato without  using a audio interface  box? 

[eggssell]

no...

i believe

[conCuss]

So there's  no way to use a serato  control  vinyl with a audio interface like the rane  sl2? 

[conCuss]

Without *

[Scottie]

Nope.

Hey guys , found a second hand numark m4 for sale , pretty cheap 

anybody used a numark m4 for scratching ? How would it be for scratching?

Thanks guys 

[Cupe]

For the price you're looking for at the level you're going to use it, the only thing you need to be aware of is how used/damaged the crossfader is.

 

Everything else is semantics (so long as the mixer wasn't originally sold at Toy World)

[conCuss]

It wasent used for scratching and it's in good condition,  but in terms of performance? 

[wazza]

The one big thing you need with any good scratch mixer is a good crossfader......

the crossfader in the m4 is OK.....not good but ok..

lucky for you,...,..you can drop a innofader pro 2 in the m4 and have a bad-ass 4 channel scratch mixer

 

with a innofader pro 2 in the m4 mixer you will be able to adjust crossfader curve ( sharp curve for scratch. ) and crossfader cut in ( the distance the crossfader has to move before you get sound) and the crossfader weight ( how smooth the crossfader feels )

 

get a innofader....the best $$ you will ever spend ........and when your over the m4 and need a better mixer, you can pull the innofader out and put it in the new mixer

 

 

[conCuss]

yeah your right wazza, iv heard so much about the innofader and used one when picking up some needles from storedj

 

does it have to be a innofader pro 2 ? or can it be a cheaper one? , where do you usually get innofaders from?

[conCuss]

and the numark m4 does have crossfader curve adjustment already as well

[conCuss]

I don't think the innofader mini is working with the m4.........the innofader pro is way better ..better feel 

 

I got my innofader from light- sounds.          

And I got two innofader mini straight from innofader
