Yo Midknight, because I'm low budgeted (broke), I can't afford two
Technics 1200's
or 1210's so should I buy a cheaper Gemini or some other turntable?
Hey, who can afford two turntables right away? (Unless you just
got
loot like dat), but I only have one Technics 1200 and I usually
either
borrow a Technics, or mix on a cheap mix a garbage. When you
throw
a party, yeah, rent another 1200 or whatever, but when it's just
you in
your basement or whatevuh, yo, learn the best way you can. That's
how
I learned. If you learn how to mix on a piece of garbage, imagine
what
you can do when you get your next 1200...
Yo Midknight, although vinyl is phat n' all that shiznit, I'm curious
into purchasing a pro CD-Player with super phat mixing abilities. Is this better for parties than two turntables or is it not?
It is obviously possible to rock parties using a quality CD-Mixer like
the Pioneer CDJ-500II, however, say goodbye to backspins. What you need
to take into consideration is
what kind of DJ you are. If you are strictly a straight mixing, fade-blending, house shaker, then maybe the CD's are for you. However, if you are a
super crisp, cut-creator, then CD's get the big donut and you might wanna
get yourself a pair of 1200's.
