No joy with beating the crap out of the fucker who had them when they were "stolen"?

Not yet, am still waitin on my fuckin cousin to help me grrrrrrrrrrr!!

Help me get em back that is or sort somethin about gettinthem back!!

Save up a bit more mate and get yourrself some technics. They hold their value and you will regret buying anything else........TRUST ME, I done the same thing when i first started mixing and it was such a waste of money as i ended up getting Technics.

Agreed!!

 

At the end of the day ull always be wanting Technics so why fork out twice?!?!?!

I had sony decks once upon a time...how fuking [censored] r they,belt drive too i think they were i cant remember,and i dont like remembering...

1210s only for me! After i had a go on my sonys and then went round my mates and had ago on his 1210s,i was converted instantly.although...now i have no decks

My sony ones were direct drive.... tho i know what u mean.... id used my mates 1210s since i was 15 so from day 1 with Sony ones id wanted 1210s hence the 4 months before i got them..... im not sayin the sony were utter crap.... just in comparison to 1210s lol.... if i hadnt been on 1210s i would have made do with them... if that makes sense?

 

 

I too dont have mine Fuckers!!

Having never tried full-on, realtime beat-matching and mixing, what are you looking for in decks, and why does everyone rave so much about technics (please, a technical description, not a "cos they are [censored] ace" type reply)

 

Maybe a novice guide to decks.

 

ie - why direct drive as oposed to belt drive, what is direct drive (IE is the motor literally attached to the decks)

I have this as a link off my homepage, it may help!!

Tony P is a beginner, he needs some advice on how to mix!

 

The big bag of rats piss!

Claire, do you know any sites that are a bit more in-depth?

 

IE I have a 16ch mixing desk with Low, Hi, and sweepable mid-EQ, what is the difference between that and a DJ mixing desk (surely all you need to do is mix 2 singles, and mess about with the EQ to smooth the transitions, and do some funky stuff?)

as far as i'm aware - nuffin

 

i meen DJ decks r designed (asphetically and layout) more 4 DJs - they have cross faders n stuff which would only be useful 4 DJs, but as far as i know, DJ decks r just cut down versions of what u have

id used my mates 1210s since i was 15

 

they been around that long?...dang...

 

cheers for the link claire

 

Alright technics 1210's it is then, cheers guys and gals

 

 

Blink, the main difference between belt drive and direct drive is that, on belt drives the main drive motor is connected to the turntable plattern via a belt, similar to the way the chain connects the pedals to the wheel on a push bike. direct drive means that the motor spindle is directly below the turntable plattern.

 

The advantage of this being lots more torque and faster pick up of the plattern when your queing or starting a record.

 

Did that help in any way?
