Ramses101 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hi Everybody! I am a real fan of turntablism and I finally decided to learn it! As a beginner I just have few questions for you... Since I don't know how to scratch, I really don't want to spend too much money in the equipment, just in case i'm really bad haha Of course I've already made some research(s) and found some interesting stuff but I prefer to have exterior advices also! Do you have some recommendations concerning the equipment for a beginner like me? Do you also know something about an object called "Mixfader": http://www.themixfader.com/?? If yes, did you try it and do you think it's cool for beginners??? Thanks in advance for those who will answer and accept to help me!

LabRat Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hey mate welcome theres a turntableism section in the forums. There should be some into in there, if not, pop up any questions you have there. there's people here who can help you for sure! I'm not one of them tbh lol but I would suggest getting a set of good, solid turntables. Even if you decide it's not for you, you'll have turntables with a good resale or ones you'll decide to keep in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupe Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 These clips will help you heaps, it's where I first started learning to scratch. You can do this shit on your own at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichoKidd Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 In answer to your question about about equipment, a DJ friend of mine who has been doing it for 10+ years once told me this; "its not about the equipment you have, its about showing your skill on ANY equipment". Basically, I don't think you should go and drop $2k on a set up, especially if you are starting out. A set of Staton T62's should get you by until you are ready to upgrade, but obviously the decision is up to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Mixfader looks cool but it's a niche product for people who already DJ and are interested in being able to go a little more portable. For beginners wanting to scratch, like richokidd said, a cheap pair of Statons and a 2 channel mixer should be enough, and if you decide to upgrade they don't usually lose too much resale value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
