What Mixer Should I Purchase For My Turntables?
I got two Technics, now what mixer should a get?
Any reccomendations brands, modles ect.
That is for turntablism/scratch dj.
I want two turntables and a mixer preferably in a package. What should I get?
I don't have any vinyl records so i would want one that has the ability for computer connection so i can use mp3's. I don't want anything very expensive because this is my first set. and i would prefer if it was in a package instead of purchasing all separately.
Should i start out on a belt-drivin or direct-drive turntables?
im a beginner and im thinking of buying turntables and a mixer for a new hobby, i herd that the belt-drivin turntables are cheaper but they do not scratch well. And i also herd that direct drive turntables r more expensive but are much better.
What type of turntables should i buy?
What is the significance between having two turntables or one turntable? Next i preffer USB for home projects and lastly i want to scratch was well as play vinyls and convert them so can anyone help me please?
What mixer should I buy for my 2 Stanton STR8-60x turntables?
I'm trying to become a dj and I want to buy a quality but cheap mixer that will work well with my turntables and scratch live, but i have no idea which mixer to buy, nor do I know if all mixers are compatible with my turntables and scratch live. I'm looking to spend $40-$80 if possible.
Everything You Should Know About The ION VCR2PC
It appears that even though technology has killed off the eight track, cassettes, vinyl records and VHS video tapes that there is still one last gasp for each of these redundant technologies. Manufacturers have wised up to the fact that people do not want to give up on their old music or video collection simply because they have gone out of fashion. Indeed most people keep their old music and video collection even when they have stopped using their record player or their VHS player.
As a result we all have a range of videos and music that we don't actually watch or listen to. Luckily there has been many developments in technology that are giving us the opportunity to make the most of our collection and transfer our music and songs into digital format. A number of USB devices have been produced that enable you to transfer your music to your computer.
Probably the most popular of these is the USB turntable device that makes it simple to convert vinyl records to digital format. The latest of these devices is the ION VCR 2PC device that enables you to transfer your video collection onto the computer from which you can put the films on your iPod or onto DVD.
The vinyl USB turntable was incredibly successful and the VHS record player is set to replicate the success of this device by allowing the user to transfer their videos to digital format. This means that people with a large video collection can consolidate their video collection onto a single hard drive.
This can mean that they free up an enormous amount of space in their home and it can mean that they finally get their video collection out of the loft or out of the garage.
This can obviously be extremely beneficial to someone that does not have a limitless amount of space. The entire collection of videos can then be stored on your hard drive and this will take up a very small amount of space in comparison. It also means that the quality of the recordings will also never be lost as the hard drives of computers do not diminish in quality unlike records which lose quality over time. This can provide a great deal of security for people that really value their video collection and want to secure its longevity.
The ION VCR2PC works in a similar way to the way in which the vinyl USB operates. This means that the device is connected to the computer using a USB connection and this connection relays the film onto your computer. The device comes with software which collects the data and turns the film into a digital medium which can then be manipulated to suit your requirements. The added benefit to this is that the more tech savvy people can even use the software to enhance the sound and visual qualities of the film that they have converted.
This also means that people can organise their films carefully in the hard drive to ensure that they can find them easily and store them in the minimum amount of space. It also means that people can transfer their films onto a software programme that lets them edit the films. This means that people can create their own films by splicing together other films. This can include video footage that has been shot with a video camera and can be a great way of creating professional looking home family videos.
