(Part 2) Best products from r/Beatmatch

I spent more time researching this call than anything else in my rig right now. I really wanted to stick with Technics, but I was concerned that their jettisoning their turntable product line would yield sharply rising costs for maintaining their decks over time. So, the next best thing is super OEM.

The whole idea of super OEM is that the guts of all the decks available out there are the same; the differences are essentially cosmetic. Well, the Audio Technicas are simply the least expensive super OEM decks out there that I could find. Plus, Audio Technica is heavily committed to DJ specific product lines such that I felt a strong likelihood of ongoing cheap maintenance if I ever needed that.

I still would have preferred the Technics if I could have gotten them on the cheap, i.e. over the lifetime of ownership. But the Audio Technicas have served me well; they sound great, I like that I can swap over to USB functionality at the flip of a cable in the event that I want to rip a sample really fast for production, and they're built like a tank with heavy weighting such that I've never had a problem with them skipping or anything in performance. Three things I actually like better than Technics is that its really simple to adjust the brake and start speeds (as well as reverse the deck) at the punch of a button, you can go really light or really intense on the pitch fader as well as your rpm (if, for some crazy reason, you want to pick it all the way up to 78), and there's a light indicated center position for the pitch fader that does NOT click into position problematically as some Technics releases, e.g. 1200 MKII.

If you're on the fence about this one, I suggest looking at comparison videos of Technics vs. super OEM to see which option you like best since just about everybody I researched worth their salt went with one of those options. With the exception of Qbert, who uses both!

Long post. The important bit is the last paragraph.

I know it's going to be wildly expensive. But, I've already got a controller and I've done a few gigs with a whole load (~5) already scheduled into February, so far all of the gigs I've done are scheduled to be return clients and 2 of the people who scheduled one with me but then canceled have also explicitly said for me to keep their info on hand since they'll be using me later. I'm using home audio equipment I got off of Craigslist, plus a Numark Mixtrack 3. It's good for ~50 people. I just feel like it's time to get professional stuff, and I'm compiling a list of things I'm going to try and buy over the next year or so, starting with the speakers since they're the most crucial piece. The list I've got so far is already into the thousands of dollars - a $650 controller, $300 headphones, lighting truss, lights, the speakers + subwoofer, all the wires, a better dynamic mic, materials to make my own facade + table + a backdrop (I'm thinking of strobe lights behind frosted plexiglass with my logo on it for the backdrop). I figure that one, if I get the full package, then hey, I've got it, I no longer need to buy it. And two, if I get the 100% spiffy-flashy great looking setup that's usable for over 100 people, that I'll maybe get more business from people at the gigs I'm already playing and in general if I post pictures of me in action on my gigs (visuals do matter when it comes to people's impression, technically you could DJ reasonably well you recorded a long mix at home and played it off your phone, but nobody would respect that). Much of it is unnecessary, like the lights, facade, and better controller (and I'm getting the important stuff first), but I really want it and I plan to work for it, maybe even pick up two jobs for a while.

I'm at the point where I'm competent (though still not great) enough to get and keep people dancing to whatever kind of music they want me to play, so I figure it's time to get equipment to match while I continue to develop my skills. And business is increasing and will continue to do so, so this home-audio setup isn't going to cut it much longer.

So I need an external mixer? What do you suggest for a 2-channel + cue output + XLR mic input one? And how would I control what audio from Mixxx/Serato/Traktor (if I buy one of the other two) goes where (I.E. cue going to my headphones and not speakers, master channel going to the speakers, microphone going to both)?

Edit: This is the controller I'm thinking of getting. Would that work in place of a mixer/audio interface with Mixxx?

https://www.amazon.com/Numark-NV-Intelligent-Dual-Display-Touch-Capacitive/dp/B00M85GCTI/

I'm going to slightly disagree with what others have said. To me he is playing Deck A, then he queues up a section of whatever is loaded on deck B to where he wants, he triggers deck B and uses a BITCRUSHER effect on deck B increasing the BIT DEPTH parameter. I'm pretty sure the echo effect is going on too and being increased at the same times at the bitcrusher. The bitcrusher is the primary effect of that sound though, everything else is to 'taste'. He also sets the filter where he wants on B before he starts the move. I do not think that it's a small / increasingly small loop size but primarily ECHO and BITCRUSHER effects engaged and both parameters increasing / modulating at the same time. I think all the effected sound is Deck B not Deck A.

That same sound is around 19:40 as well.

​

I use this trick often too, I have the echo and bitcrusher effects always loaded effect 1 and 2 on my decks. I have a midi controller that maps both of the effects parameter knobs to one single touch fader and the dry/wet for each effect on it's own. So using 3 fingers I can control the parameter and dry/wet of the effects. I find it quite easy to quickly find an interesting sounding musical spot by manipulating all 3 faders at once.

​

Experiment with your midi mappings and midi controllers for interesting and new ways to use your gear. You can find several inexpensive midi controllers out there these days.

​

I had found a Stanton MIDI DJ controller on clearance / closeout for just $20. I use it for my effects controller alongside my DJ controller, and remapped all the effects buttons on my controller for CUE & Looping.

​

It looks like you can still find the controller I got cheap on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?LH_CAds=&_ex_kw=&_fpos=&_fspt=1&_mPrRngCbx=1&_nkw=stanton+scs+3d&_sacat=&_sadis=&_sop=12&_udhi=&_udlo=&_fosrp=1

​

Another great and not too expensive controller for DJ effects & CUE triggering is the Arturia Beatstep: https://www.amazon.com/Arturia-BeatStep-MIDI-Controller-Sequencer/dp/B00I88HPUO/

Not too sure about those turntables but they're apparently super OEM turntables which are not bad to learn to mix on.

Here are a couple of links to get you started:

Vinyl TV - YouTube - Very Detailed Turntable Setup for Beginners

DJ Bolivia - YouTube - DJ'ing for Beginners - Basic Beat-Mixing, using Vinyl Records on Turntables

In terms of the needle, it's called a stylus and it depends on what cartridge you're using. Some look like this while others look like this. Once you determine the cartridge, it's easy to get a replacement stylus.

Other than that, there isn't any calibrating you need to do if your pitch performance is fine (and it usually is with super OEM units). Even if it wasn't, you would have to send it for professional calibration at which point it's probably cheaper to just buy new units.

Not sure what you're looking to spend exactly but I couldn't be happier with my ATH-M50x's from Audio Technica. They're super affordable at $140 and are actual studio monitor headphones so they provide a good balance between hi/mid/lo frequencies. It's also common to see them on sale. Along with that, my head never gets tired or sore because they're pretty lightweight. There are plenty of great reviews on YouTube that go into more detail. Definitely check em out, I highly recommend!

I posted this a month ago: (by the way, don't get the Hercules DJ Instinct)

> $0 Virtual DJ is free and has a ton of great features which allow you to learn the essentials fast.

yeah, i thought CB4 and also Fear of a Black Hat (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106880/ ) would have loads of great dialogue but I didn't find either funny. I think I started out with djay pro on my tablet. I've not been using my controller too long but I like it. I daresay that as time goes by I'll decide to upgrade if I stick with this hobby but it's great for me for the time being. I also splashed out on a numark DJ2GO controller ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/Numark-Portable-Controller-Serato-Interface/dp/B074D5NXT7) - a tiny little controller I can use when I don't have the energy/time to get the full size numark out the box. It's been great. It's no wider than a laptop (and actually can sit on the laptop infront of the keyboard) so I can practise and mess about while sitting on the sofa. You'll need a little speaker to plug into it though. It also doesn't have the ability to scratch but it's been great. In fact I used it to record the Get Ill #3 mix. thanks for the compliments. I'll check out any other stuff you post too.

I'd 100% recommend Senheiser HD25's -
https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-25-Professional-Headphone/dp/B01CRI3UOU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483486388&sr=8-1&keywords=sennheiser+hd25

They're pretty much an 'industry standard' - used by a lot of people. Extremely durable, comfortable and sound great.


Alternatively, these are a great choice
https://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-Pro-DJ-HDJ-C70-Headphone/dp/B00NBU22FW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483486527&sr=8-1&keywords=Pioneer+HDjc70

Pioneer HDJ C70's. I tried both of these and they're both really good. I'd say the Senheisers seem a bit more durable - the headband snapped on my Pioneers (replaced for free by Pioneer though), but I really love the sound of the Pioneer's and they isolate outside noise incredibly. Having said that they can get a bit tight on the head but for me its not so bad, check them out if you can before if you buy any!

Awesome thank you! I'm on a MAC so I think the audio interface would be better than software. What about these other ones from amazon? I'm a cheapskate what can I say. Would they be just as good, or would the one you recommended be better because it works with Traktor?

http://www.amazon.com/Behringer-302USB-Premium-5-Input-Interface/dp/B005EHILV4/ref=sr_1_1?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1409689712&sr=1-1&keywords=audio+interface

http://www.amazon.com/Behringer-UCA202-Audio-Interface/dp/B000KW2YEI/ref=sr_1_2?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1409689712&sr=1-2&keywords=audio+interface

http://www.amazon.com/Behringer-502-XENYX502-5-Channel-Mixer/dp/B000J5UEGQ/ref=sr_1_5?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1409690145&sr=1-5&keywords=audio+interface

If you are into producing i'd suggest a controller like this. It's around $130 and I promise you'll have a lot of fun! Of course you'll need another mixer/controller to DJ at a gig, but to have fun at home it's great.


If you want to get into mixing right now and not live producing, you can't go wrong with the [mixtrack pro] (http://www.amazon.com/Numark-Mixtrack-Controller-Integrated-Interface/dp/B00466HLWO/ref=sr_1_2?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1373175693&sr=1-2&keywords=mixtrack+pro) or the new mixtrack pro II

To simply play files, most laptop or iPod, iPhone or whatever device is going to sound fine. Just buy from quality sources like the iTunes shop and you'll be fine.

If you were running any sort of DJ software, then a USB audio interface might be useful to give you higher level outputs and a dedicated headphone monitor connection. My recommendation if you go down that path is the NI Traktor Audio 2.

http://www.amazon.com/Native-Instruments-Traktor-Audio-Interface/dp/B00FYQFPFU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404302468&sr=8-1&keywords=Traktor+audio+2

To help with your terminology, you'll most likely be plugging into a house mixer or amplifier input, and thus you'll most likely want a 3.5mm TRS to Dual RCA Cable, like this.

http://www.amazon.com/Hosa-Cable-CMR210-Stereo-Adapter/dp/B000068O3B/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1404302305&sr=8-4&keywords=3.5mm+to+dual+RCA

...but do check what the inputs you'll be connecting to to confirm exactly what cable you'll need.

I'd say a Native Instrument's Traktor Audio 2 USB interface should do the trick. it has 4 outs (2 stereo pairs) so you have one out for your headphones/cue and one to output audio to your Mackie 802. both are 1/4" on the unit. They go for $99 new and there should be lots sales going on so you should be able to snap one up cheap on Amazon, eBay or Reverb.com. It does not work with Serato and turntables but Traktor LE comes with it for free. You'll just have to use your mouse/trackpad to control Traktor. For basic cueing and playing, thats easy. Set up is a cinch as it's the size of a cigarette pack. I think you can even walk into Best Buy and buy one but i'd say double check with the store.

check it out:

Assuming they're in good shape. $600 for a pair is pretty common, although they are pretty hard to find in my area also. $400 will get you a brand new Super OEM table, like the Audio Technica ATLP-1240. So that is something to consider.

For my first controller I bought the Numark Mixtrack Pro 2 and for a beginner controller it's easily my favorite, very simple to use yet it has all the functions necessary to make good mixes. Works well with serato DJ intro and traktor's DJ program. Easy hookup so whether you are DJing in your room or in a club the hookup will be easy.

I'll start by saying this method I use isn't the cheapest... it's possibly not even the best, but I wanted something stupidly simple and portability was also of interest, so it works for me.

I use a Zoom H1, which takes a 3.5mm input from my master output and saves the audio straight to an SD card. It quite literally is plug-and-play, regardless of whatever setup I or my friends use.

You can pick one up for 75 quid / $100 from Amazon (other retailers are available).

I find it works very well for my use. Like I said, it might not be good for you... just wanted to throw it in there as what's often overlooked.

I use the audio technica m50x (a couple steps better than the m30x mentioned above) price is around $150 and I love them.

Use them on planes, around the house, and for spinning. Great purchase IMO.

I personally use the Crane Stand Plus and I love it. It's quick and easy to set up, and actually really sturdy. You can tighten the joints on it so it's not going to move at all. Granted, I DJ mostly weddings, so portability is huge.

You may be looking at spending way over 500 i think for a proper LCD screen for bpm and stuff:

Pioneer XDJ-RX

Numark NS7 III

Numark NV DJ Controller

All of these have LCD screens but are quite pricey. Serato offers everything these do (in terms of what you see on the lcd) screen. These pieces of kit are for people who are nearly ready for the jump to a cdj setup really and who may not be able to afford the 4000gbp it costs for the setup.

I have a ddj sb and use serato dj and works just fine, yes you have to turn head a little or look somewhere else but thats for track selection, effects, bpm, wavelength so isn't a problem.

[Here is](http://www.amazon.com/Last-Night-DJ-Saved- Life/dp/0802136885/ref=pd_sim_b_2) annother great read if you liked the first book.

Do yourself a favor and read Last Night a DJ Saved My Life. You won't regret it!

You can get a cheap 2 channel mixer for less than $100 (especially if you look for used/refurbished at Guitar Center/Sam Ash). Though, if you aren't performing as a DJ (mixing), you could use a soundboard style mixer. Something like this.

I don't know anything about karaoke programs, but with a little 4 channel mixer you should be able to use one source for non-karaoke playlists, one source for karaoke playlist, and two channels for two microphones.

As far as sign up sheets/apps, if you google "karaoke sign up apps" you'll see a few free programs that might work for you.

Yeah, so the mixtrack 3 doesn't have any outputs on it. It plugs into your computer with a USB and that's the only port on it. In order to get audio to play out you'll need to plug it into the laptop either through the headphone jack or through an audio mixer (something like this https://www.amazon.com/Behringer-302USB-BEHRINGER-XENYX/dp/B005EHILV4/ref=br_lf_m_e2nydkvhy4vk8yd_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&s=musical-instruments)

Then you'd plug your speakers into that

how to DJ right

and for more historical perspective: Last Night a DJ Saved My Life.

Same authors, good reading

The easy way around this is to plug everything into a small line mixer like this one. Then everyone can happily plug/unplug their gear without interrupting the music. This is assuming there are no spare line inputs on the mixer you're using for the CDJs.

Also the S2 has RCA and TRS (1/4") outputs. No XLR.

Would you pick these speakers over the pioneer? Thanks so much for your help!

As far as getting used gear goes, your disadvantages are the same as getting used anything really. There are plenty of highly legitimate vendors of used gear and if they have a high rating by a large amount of users, then it's a safe bet that the gear is in working condition. Buying used is simply a bit more risky than buying new as you can well imagine, however, you can often like "like new" (which is what I tend to go for) for a decent discount off of the "new" price.

Personally, I think the M50's are exceptional for casual listening, if you can look past a few things. Depending on your portable media player of choice, if you use a case, the plug on the M50's may not be able to fit through it. The other thing you'll have to get past is the giant cable (even if you get straight cable instead of coiled). If those don't bother you, the sound quality is incredible for the price, and I can wear these headphones for hours with minimal discomfort. You can also avoid the cable issue if you're willing to put down some more cash for the new model, the M50x. I have tested the M50's sound leakage, and while it does happen at really high volumes, it really shouldn't be an issue unless you like hearing damage.

Sennheiser HD-25, awesome djing headphones also useable everyday use

This is my cartridge/styli on one turntable.

This is my cartridge/styli on my second turntable.

My question is, if I'm changing the needle, all I need to change is the stylus, correct?
I'm looking at either this one or maybe this one.

Would either of them be compatible with what I have? If not, what is another stylus that would be good for what I have?

and

...with respect to audio/speaker setup? Either one plugs into any kind of speakers?

I use these at home. I got them for 90 dollars refurbished and they are fantastic.

Its this.

Thanks. Two questions

• if you have tunes with not-excellent quality (still decent) can you use an amplifier/mixer to get them to store-bought quality?
  
  
• should I work up to affording this mixer, or should there be something I get before that? (at an amateur level not often using professional equipment)

These have been getting pretty stellar reviews and are around 375 USD each brand new: http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-AT-LP1240-USB-Direct-Turntable/dp/B007R9B0UQ.

I'm waiting a few months to get myself a pair to replace my Stanton STR8-60s.

With USB gear you're probably better off if you can save up and buy new.

http://www.amazon.com/Numark-Mixtrack-Controller-Integrated-Interface/dp/B00BCL96T2/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1425601216&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=Mixtrack+pro+2

If you go with the pro it comes with an audio interface so you don't need the one he's including. You'll still have to buy speakers, but you don't need to get expensive monitors.

http://www.guitarcenter.com/Nady/MM-242-4-Channel-Mini-Mixer.gc

This is not bad if you want something soon and on the cheap, but it doesn't have an EQ which is also something you'd want. You'd also need stereo 1/4" to 3.5mm cords... And assuming your controller has 1/4" outs.

If you're willing to wait for Amazon this is a little more versatile in terms of connections and does have an EQ.

https://www.amazon.com/Behringer-802-Premium-8-Input-Preamps/dp/B000J5XS3C/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1521050188&sr=8-3&keywords=4+channel+mixer&refinements=p_72%3A2661618011

Something like this would probably do the job nicely, and you could plug in a mic.

The Klipsch 2.1 for $150 sounds better than the Logitech imo.

I highly recommend this one

Not when using Spotify playlists. Thinking of getting something like this: BEHRINGER XENYX 502 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000J5UEGQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_vADLAbTKN7QWR figure I could hook my RCA from controller to a line in, use the master out for monitors and run a 2nd line out from mixer to my PC line in. Would this work?

This is all you need man. They are the industry standard and offer great sound isolation. They're extremely durable and all parts can be purchased through their website in case anything does break down the road.

You don't need a full blown mixer.

That’s a phono preamp and totally not the right type of gear to use and will likely damage your speakers if you run a line level signal through it.

It’s designed specifically to amplify a signal from a turntable and also applies a layer of eqing to the signal in order to make records sound proper.
