You need more subs. Brilliant content. I’ve used a Reloop Spin for years, but I’ll be checking out the Omni based on your recommendation

@TheCratesMotel Жыл бұрын

I’m gradually building my subs lol. As I don’t make videos of dogs running into walls or people falling off a roof, the sub increase is definitely a slower one. The Reloop is great but that DVS option on the Omni seals the deal for me. Thanks for watching.

You have said before “you don’t miss vinyl” but here you are back again with a turntable.😂 If it’s just needle drop and random access you’re after, you could easily accomplish that with a DJ media player. Some media players even have slots for removable storage. It seems to me that the “vinyl bug” bit you long ago, and it’s hard to give it up.

@TheCratesMotel 10 ай бұрын

I think what I explained was I don’t miss having 20000 records and all the grief that goes with it, but I do miss the tactile side of it. I do use media players, but I can’t scratch with them. I tried scratching with Pioneer CDJs and it’s just not the same. The advantages of this workflow is zero storage needed for records, tactile scratching and I can still use media players as well. Cheers for watching dude.

@@TheCratesMotel If you had to put a dollar figure on the whole digitizing process, even if you outsourced it, how much do you think it cost you?

Dope channel ! Thanks for all you do . What do you think of the sound quality when playing actual vinyl compared to a technics 1200? I have 2 other portable decks and the quality isn’t up to speed to sample from them .

@TheCratesMotel 9 ай бұрын

Hey dude thanks for watching. I think it entirely depends on what portable deck you are using and what cartridge and stylus. I paid a little extra for a decent stylus on the Omni. That said, I know plenty of producers who sample from other portable decks. The thing with a 1210 is you’re also getting the sound of the mixer or amp you are using and that can add to the vibe.

@@TherealDJEmz Yeh definitely, I do it. I don’t have a whole lot of vinyl anymore as I digitized it all and sold it, but I buy the odd piece if I can’t get a digital file of it and when I do I use the Omni.

@1337murk Жыл бұрын

Yeah thats dope. Question: Is the ultra speed 78rpm or faster? Great option to have it on there, most likely its there for old emu (sp12) uses and the like, limited sample time would result in spinning record fast with platter off to fit more in the sample time, as im sure you remember. Really nice to have that as a feature on that turntable.

@TheCratesMotel Жыл бұрын

Unfortunately it’s the opposite. It is basically the 33 and 45 combined. You can have it at the slowest 33 with the pitch control fully anti clockwise and the fastest 45 fully clockwise. I used to have a 78rpm player when I had my SP1200 in the late 80s just for that purpose.

Great video. Newbie question: If I have an MPC One +, a turntable and a deejay mixer, do I still need an audio interface? Thanks, Conan.

@TheCratesMotel Жыл бұрын

Hey. You don’t need an interface if you have all that. You can scratch or play music straight into your MPC from the mixer if you connect line out of the mixer to line in on the One. The MPC is an interface in itself and can be connected to a computer and used as an interface. Thanks for watching dude.

can you recommend any battery driven speakers for outdoor use (just for listening to music) that work well with omni, i have a jbl xtreme 2 which connected to the omni is not as loud as if you stream music from the iphone, hmm ... speaker should be loud enough to entertain 10-20 music enthusiasts. any help would be highly appreciated.

Hey buddy, I can’t to be honest. The only portable speaker I use is a small Bose one and that is probably not as loud as your JBL. Maybe it is worth contacting the guys at Headache Sounds and seeing if they can offer any advice. There is also a decent Omni user group on Facebook that is quite helpful. Thanks for watching.

It’s not supported in Serato apparently. It might work but I don’t have the software to test it. Serato are very weird about who they allow to support their software/hardware for some reason.
