Whats up, new to the forum. I don't have any tables but i am interested in buying some and starting to use the. I am a very musical person, I have 2 guitars, a bass, a pearl export drum set, 2 mics, 4 amps, Korg keyboard, boss effects, and a Korg d8 digital mixer. I'm not saying this to boast, i just wanted you to have some background info before you might help me. I taught myself to play all these things, and i feel like i am quite good. I am starting to record now, though, and i would very much like to add tables to my setup and sound. The sound i play and results i would like to achieve from the tables would be more similiar to music and scratching like kid rock, run dmc, uncle kracker, NOT stuff like linkin park. I play hard rock but also dabble in old school hip-hop. I am new to this alltogether, and i had some questions. 1. How do you scratch different notes to meld with the music? is it the speed of your scratch, or the record you are spinnin'? 2. ANy suggestions on tables for a novice? 3. Is it extremely difficult to learn? 4. what all do i need? ..down to speakers, wire, etc. Thanks so much
Forget tables get an Acid mp3 program. Download the stuff into your computor. That program will automatically re-set the music so that time and key are matched and can be easily combined from one song to another.
do you really plan on playing out (dj'ing)? going to a gig with a laptop is the equivlent of telling the audence to F themselves. Standered Club deck is the Technics 1200 mk2 (any 1200/1210 line will work) for pure scratching, I'd recomend the vestax PDX deck, increadable pitch (+/- 50%) as opposed to the techs standered 8% (or 16% on the mk5g)
glad u asked! NO! I don't plan on dj'ing out live. I want to be able to add scratching to my recordings. I have korg recording equip. and i want to add scratching. That's mainly all i'm interested in.
