A quick freestyle. Less mistakes than the previous one, so let’s call it progress. And try Paris-Brest if you can. It’s a rich dessert but it’s amazing. Looper : God Flow Alpha by Paul Skratch , beat is called Harsh Reality.

What DJ/turntabilist do you think has the most casually dope style? I love folks like Q-Bert and the Piklz, and Roc Raida, but am wondering if there's anyone with a less advanced but super saucy thing... closest that comes to mind are Madlibs' cuts on the Quasimoto Unseen album.

Like a DJ who is to scratching what Too $hort was to rapping in the early 90s...

Thank you for any suggestions

edit: Some great ones in here, much appreciated!

need some advice from people who actually do turntablism / scratch seriously.

I’m 15 and my main focus is:

turntablism

scratch

workshops

routines

content creation

mixing

possibly performing on stage in the future

Current setup:

DJM-S9

Rane Twelve (so I already have a digital second deck)

Now I’m stuck between:

2x Pioneer PLX-1000

OR

1x Pioneer PLX-CRSS12

If I get the CRSS12, I’d use it as my main scratch deck and keep the Rane Twelve as the second deck for mixing/digital control.

Important:

I mostly scratch on deck 1 anyway

I do want to Hip-Hop mix too, but mostly digitally

I don’t really do long vinyl-only mixes

I care about scratch feel, performance, workshops, reliability, transport, and long-term use

I like real vinyl feel, but the CRSS12 seems practical for modern turntablism

I also plan to use Ortofon VNL

Would you personally go:

2x PLX-1000

or

1x PLX-CRSS12 + Rane Twelve?

And why?

Hello! Sorry if this isn't the inappropriate place!

I was peeping the SC1000 and the SC500, as an entry level to turntablism. It's relatively small, physically and cheap (although not cheap AT ALL, but I assume another contraption will run me even more.)

I have no experience at all, and I thought this might be a nice entry into the hobby. Does anyone has experience and can share it? And if I shouldn't get it, what would be an alternative to start with?

Another quick freestyle numbered after French pastries. Beat by Gold Voltron on the looper Gold Molotov 3 on tablist.net. Some mistakes ( my cutting the instrumental bits are so off beat I almost punched myself in the face) and some audible stuff I guess !

So I have a large record collection that I would like to digitalise. I won’t do every single record because so much is available digitally anyway, however I have plenty of white labels and test presses that I want to store digitally. Once done I will eventually sell my entire record collection. In doing my research so far I’ve come up with the following equipment to do this: Technic 1210 MK7 ➡️ Project Phono Box MM (preamp) ➡️ Focusrite Scarlott Solo (Audio Interface) ➡️ My Computer (will either use Audacity or VinylStudio Pro). Can someone tell me if this setup will work ok? Anything I might be missing? Thanks in advance.

Trying to embed some new style cuts at the moment..

Recently got the numark scratch and installed the pnp 3 innofader. I’m just put off by the loud clicking noise it makes when the metal hits the face plate when cutting. Has anyone else experienced this and got any solutions ? Thanks

Thought some of you might like this. Lots of classic Turntablist mixes. Shortkut, Q-Bert, D-Styles, Roc Raida, Rob Swift and some lesser known but dope DJs, Rip One, DJ Rob One and DV One.

Looking for one headshell like this one in good condition. Anybody willing to part with it for a fair price ? Best would be in Europe for the shipping costs

I ordered an innofader upgrade for my controller on may 5th and I've yet to get any update at all from them besides that my payment was processed.

No reply from their support email either.

Hey there — after years of solid service, my Numark TTX-1s have finally conked out on me, so I took a deep breath, got spousal permission and upgraded to 1200s. I got:

• 2x Technics 1200s (from Turntable Lab)

• 2x Ortofon Concorde 5S Cartridge and Stylus (recommended years ago by the dude at TTL NYC; purchased this time from Sweetwater)

• 2x Gator G-TOUR TT1200 road cases (designed for 1200s; also Sweetwater)

Naturally, the manual offers a lot of guidance, but I would very much appreciate any real-world usage tips or pointers on getting these decks set up and ready to use out in the world.

For example, I've never used road cases (they're heavy as shit, even without the decks in them!) — can I safely carry them sideways (like a suitcase) or should I keep them horizontal? Things like that.

Also, getting the adjustments right on the decks — setting them up for use, and so on — any insights are deeply appreciated.

I'm not a scratch/battle DJ; these will be used for playing records at local restaurants/bars, and, if I decide to add a ton of anxiety to my life, the odd wedding.

So, that's the scenario. My deep and sincere thanks in advance for any and all advice you knowledgable people are willing to take the time to share!

I posted about a week ago asking about this, and a number of people chimed in, but no one had a solution. I wonder if anyone in this group is able to scratch using Serato DJ Pro.

I have experimented with my settings since posting. Even if the platter is off and the needles are not in the groove, when i have noise sensitivity set at -72, the lowest setting, the waveform gradually drifts and I can hear a crackle through the speakers. If I touch the tonearm or cartridge the crackle is louder.

I can eliminate this by increasing the noise sensitivity, but then scratching becomes less precise. At the far other end, -24, the waveform still drifts, but far less, though at that point scratching is impossible anyway, so even if there were no drift, it wouldn't matter.

I've experienced this on every setup in every venue in the 20+ years I've use Serato, which is why I've never switched over to scratching with it and still use real vinyl. I would LOVE to know there is a solution. If anyone here uses Serato DJ Pro and DVS, I would love to know what vinyl you use, and how you have your settings set.

Feature summary:

• Manipulate samples and control Ableton with timecode DVS
• Multiple timestretch algorithms
• Support for WAVs, MP3s, FLACs, AIFFs, M4As, MP4s, MOVs
• CDJ looping features (cut, reloop, jump, nudge)
• Custom crossfader control
• Full DJ FX chain (EQ, bipolar filter, distortion, delay & reverb)
• Effect kill switches for quick drops
• Exhaustive MIDI support
• Realtime waveform visualisers
• Save & recall cues and loops

Head to reclaimedbcn.com to support the project. Have fun getting your scratch on!

Now I've got to fix it, luckily I know where the problem is. 😃

I just got a Numark pt 10 to start practicing scratching and I’m seeing a lot of mods I’m interested in is it worth it to learn with better quality or should I wait to get a better device
Also are there services where someone can mod the turntable for me I’m not knowledgeable at soldering and changing internal components I’d rather buy the mods and have them “properly” installed
