Turntable Tutorial 1 - GETTING STARTED IN TURNTABLISM
The first in a series of online Turntable Tutorials aimed at DJs who are interested in Turntablism and want to develop new technical and performance skills on the decks. In this first tutorial, I advise beginners on how to get started in a step-by-step introduction to Turntablism.

any superOEM deck such as reloop 6000 mk6, stanton st(r8)-150, citronic 45d, etc.
these are all basically the same but with some distinct features and branding. they are also in the same league as the technics (some consider the stantons to be higher) but at a lower cost

I can’t afford any tables yet what’s the best for scrtaching for music around the cheapest price guys?
April 18th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
numark tt200 and even cheaper numark tt1600 both are under 200
April 18th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
THE best tutorials on youtube. thank you angelo, great job.

no man, wd40 and similar products dont rust, they actually prevent rusing
April 18th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
Numarks (the TT series) often go for a lot less.
April 18th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
and wd40 and other kero based lubricants promote rust among other things

@someonex011 Stanton’s probably would be the key if you wanna scratch and not pay for technics. I got Numark TT-1650 and it’s not very good at scratching, but you can do a few things with it.

i got myself a pair of stanton str8-80 (yes i know they have stopped producing them) and they look a lot like technics
April 18th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
buy some second hand 1210s mk2’s pick em up for a pair with a mixer for like 300
April 18th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
Check out Stanton
April 18th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
@someonex011 Try synq xtreme one they are about 300 euro’s a piece and are imho at least as good as sl 1200’s
April 18th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
technics cost alot, could someone tell me some other turntables that do not cost ass much?
April 18th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
@BSYcrew yes but the pack won’t be good for learning to scratch because it is belt driven which is a nightmare for turntabalist. when you develop your skill you may want to invest in Technics SL 1200 which is direct drive. Save money and learn the basics. The first true step in my humble opinion for any DJ is to become a “digger” find music appreciate different sounds built your collection whether its mp3’s or vinyl. Learn to blend ! WE ARE DJ NOT JUKEBOX! = ) Good Luck to You !

just something: lubricant in your faders: No No. The lubricant will attract dust like mad. and dust and faders are not a good match.
