I'm still at a stage where I'm really not happy with my mixing on Technics, I'm sure its cuarable once I spend more time using them. I went from belt drives to Vestax and have to agree that Vestax are sooooo much better. Technics shall remain industry standard though, especially with the new mark fives soon to be available.

 

vestax r the dog bollox imo

[ste_trance]

hahahahahahahaha vestax v tecnics ummmmmmmmm well 1210 mk 5 let me see up to +/- 16 think that is all u need thay have a lot more torque start time 0 to 33 0.7 sec have u listend to a tune on +50 hardly nice is it plus 1210 mk2 u can tune up the speed as well to over +8 think its about +20 but i may be wrong? but u can turn then up

[LiquidEyes]

Why would you want to pitch the speed above +8? Most music sounds ridiculous at more than about +6.

 

My Vestax decks go up to +10 but unless you're a novelty act or a happy hardcore DJ, then there ain't a lot of point!

 

The torque on my decks is [censored]-hot, faster than 1210s. It's a boring debate though, you're better off getting 1210s because they are standard. (When I get a third deck I will get a 1210.)

i disagree. i play everythin from techno, hard trance, hardhouse, nu nrg and even the odd dnb tune and i reliy on the ultra pitch to get sum of the slower / faster genres to mix in.

 

a tune can work @ ne speed if u dont take the piss (ie play happy hardcore @ +50). it just depends on how u mix it and what u mix it with

they have vestax @bed in sheff and every dj ive sen enter the box has been gutted to see them, then complained cos they dont hold there pitch like technics. and aparantly cos of the straigh tone arm its easy to catch the pitch slider when you put the arm back on the record

the only decks that could perswade me to part with me vestax pdx2000 would be the 1210's mk5

 

but all i can say is i dont have a problem with my decks

[Diablo]

Anyone checked out the new 1210's MK5 & MK5G

 

I have and i must say, they are complete quality!

That's bollocks, if you have to pitch it up that much, you've chosen the wrong record to bring in.

LMAO!!!!!

not nessasserilly. u've heard about the genre speed funky house (or what ever its called) basically when u play funky house records @ 45rpm - well thats fuking about with the record in the same kinda way i do

 

just cuz i may pitch up/down the odd record more then 10% its dont meen it sounds [censored]. it meens i'm interpreting the record in a diff way. its called being creative with ur vinyl. plus i dont always play all of the record that way - ie, some of the dnb tunes i cut the mid out and just play the percusion and bass from it over a dull techno/nu nrg tune to spice it up. becuse its pitched down if i was to play the record on its own it would sound [censored] but i'm using it as a tool so it works

 

1 of the reasons dance music has gotten so lame latly is because of the pigion holeing, and if ur telling me i dont have the right to play dnb slower and minimal techno sped up with me nu nrg then i think thats just narrow minded pigion holeing

 

listen to 1 of me cd's and tell me that u KNOw exactly what tunes were sped up and slowed down. i bet u wont beable to tell i dont play ne old record sped up /slowed down - i am VERY fussy about the tunes i play as i'm fully away that some tunes will not be flexible enuf for me to work with (ie 99% or hard house)
