CF, if you have any connections whatsoever with Rane, Denon, Numark, etc. PLEASE let them know we need their version of Vestax's now-legendary Controller 1 turntable with notation controls. Reloop tried it with their notation turntable but the torque power isn't there so the notation controller response time sounds slurred and isn't nearly as instant or tight as the Controller 1s were when it comes to TT notation playing. So please let them know that turntablists would kill for some new C-1 type turntables.

For me the next step in the evolution of digital Dj-ing surely has to be a mixer with the software built in and Wi-Fi connectivity? Teamed up with these that would be the ultimate setup! No more laptop. All the benefits of modern tech but with that original 12" moving platter experience.

@Brandon-jy2yl 3 жыл бұрын

Yes! I thought about that the other day. Why not a stand alone mixer with a nice size screen, and WiFi capability.

@veganbadass Жыл бұрын

I've been saying the same thing for about 13 years. I have never used a Laptop to DJ. The Raine 12 is almost perfect except you still need a bulky, unstable Laptop and it needs a 4% pitch for House and Techno. I can't tell you how many times I've been at events and someones Laptop crashes or their battery dies ect. I love the 12" platter and Rane makes solid products, I still use the Rane Empath Rotary mixer, however I opted for the Denon 6000M because it has way more options and it takes SD cards, USB 3.0 Thumb drives, and a Terabyte drive so you can have your full collection inside without the risky, annoying laptop 😎 I just wish the Denon had a larger platter.... my 35 year quest for the perfect set up continues.....

smaller?

@isaiahfurrow7414 2 жыл бұрын

@@jayq7463 , yes, for the price, this is functionally a spinning jogwheel with not a lot of other control or functionality... I get that some people want the full 12" vinyl feel, but I would think that there may be a nice market for something in the 7"-10" range...and it could be more compact...if they use the platters and components that make the ONE controller, to make "decks" there'd be room to offer a handful of other Serato controls the Twelve don't have... and still be more compact that the Twelve is... Just my thinking, coming from someone who doesn't necessarily need the full 12" platter, but WOULD enjoy spinning platter decks ( contemplating a pair of Denon decks) , Decks as opposed to the ONE controller gives some flexibility and modularity to the setup, depending on the event, there's just a few small issues with the ONE that keeps me from being able to use that... if it was offered with a more fully featured 4ch mixer section that would be nearly perfect for my uses... I frequently need 2 mics, 2 decks, and at least one other audio input source to mix with... etc... So in short, yes....smaller platters for a pair of decks would be awesome for SOME people. ...

Some DJ's just prefer how Serato reacts with a DVS signal, personally I couldn't tell too much of a difference but that said I'm more used to using Serato with controllers than I am using Serato with a DVS signal. The great thing about the MK2 however is that you can do both, so find what suits you best :)

Question about the "no beat drift, as it's a controller". That is the one drawback I've heard about these. I keep hearing about beat drift with these. Only thing holding me back, as they sound like the perfect solution for me. Do they really drift or not? They seem to, based on user input.

How do you use the 33 and 45 buttons to pitch blend?

@veganbadass Жыл бұрын

I leaned this trick with Technics back in the 90's Rave scene. While in 33RPM mode, simply hold that button down and "tap" the 45RPM button. It briefly speeds up the BPM when your incoming track is slightly behind. If you the new track you are bringing in is slightly ahead, you can lightly brush the side of the platter with a finger or pinch the platter Pin. 😎

The Twelve will work in internal mode which ever way you connect it to your PC. Even if your mixer doesn't include a hub, you can connect these directly and it will be fine. You will however need a mixer or interface capable of outputing four channels to control all four decks. Hope this helps!
