  1. it cant be long before a harddrive turntable with attachable monitor, cd drive etc comes out, basically a pc/turntable hybrid
  2. yeah, i've had that footcontrol idea for ages (and thought it was a shit idea at that ) and the preset pitch changes thing would only be useful if you could modify the presets to pitch changes that suited you. i dont really get the whole melodic turntables thing though really - changing the pitch of tones (using buttons in this case) seems like just a trickier way of doing something that would sound better and easier done on an mpc/synth, its like the fact that its harder makes the music better...
  3. (as i said in the new turntable thread,) got it working now! i need to find the "sweet spot" for the settings, but it works really damn well! as close to vinyl as is possible at the moment, some slight problems with fluctuating slow stuff and abrupt stops, but apart from that its wicked, gonna buy some more cables tomorrow and then ill have both decks set up through it marvellous, get it!
  4. im such a retard! ill figure out the whole forum thing one day
  5. working now! get this everyone! £34 for the record and £16 for the software, worth every penny!

    hmmm....

    that actually made me laugh out loud for a while! and the eye!....
  7. yeah, i tried using both the sb guides on the forums and nowt works, i might just buy the maya44, should be a lot simpler, if not a lot more practical
  8. thanks stickey, although i do know all that already (sorry!) my problem is i dont know what kx settings to use to enable it to. work basically djdecks isnt recieving any signal from my turntable, although the soundcard is definately recieving signal as i can hear it when i turn that channel up, and when i click calibrate it doesnt detect anything
  9. right, i got the two recoreds today and im using a sb live! drive 2 soundcard - it has the front bay with otical ins/outs etc. anyway, i have no idea how to set it up really - i plugged the turntable (grounded by the mixer) into the line in and the pc into the line in on my mixer (only using one turntable at the moment), but what settings should i use? i got the latest kx drivers for it. i've gone through all the inputs on djdecks and tried to calibrate them but none are getting any signal so i guess i have to setup the soundcard differently, and none of the how tos on the forum seem to be specifically for my card
  10. i for one didnt know about this... cheers!
  11. dj1210? as in <insert generic dj username here>?
  12. do you use phono preamps, or go straight into the soundcard at phono level? using a sblivedrive with kx drivers atm, but might get a maya44 and nick a laptop for when i want to go live (work with a rapper quite a bit, it'd be good to be able to sample his voice/cut up his self-produced beats instead of using a discman for backing tracks as usual ) think its worth my ~£60
  13. anyone using this software with the final scratch records to control it? if so, is it a viable final scratch alternative? want to make sure before i shell out on the records, phono preamps etc - audio files would be good if possible also, anyone know anywhere cheaper to get the finalscratch records for less than £29 plus shipping? tried skratchuk and got no response :peace:
  14. only get a 404 at the moment, can you paste it here?
  15. my 2 pence.... record into adobe audition or straight into acid, chop up the samples in acid/do loops etc then do all your drums and rhythmic stuff in fruity loops within acid as a vst, its a killer combo
  16. anywhere to get the records real cheap? dont want to shell out like £15/£20 each seeing as theyre just normal records
  17. oh yeah, sigma, i got my copy off suprnova, check there
  18. saw bus driver at the scala coupla weeks ago, came all the way from winchester to see him and nearly missed the last train home and he was bloody incredible! he has his album flow live! seriously, if you dont own any of his stuff yet go out and buy some, you wont be disappointed! as for 2na, its a nice album, but he isnt really my favourite member of j5 anyway. bit over the top saying he's one dimensional, but i can kinda see why you'd think that
  19. the deneral consensus i recieved when looking up info on this was that they were nasty 2000xl's - not just from the stubborn "its new so i dont like it" people, but i gather for instance the pads arent as nice - could be just plain xenophobia, but seeing as you can get a fully uograded 2000xl s/hand for around £450 nowadays id go with the tried and tested personally
  20. yeah, copped it a while ago, didnt really get into it then but now that im listening again its pretty damn dope! - just a bit peeved that he filled it up with previous singles like join the dots, seems less fresh that way
  21. can someone re-seed it please? cheers mate
