Getting started with vinyl. Is this gear ok?

[dukefan6842@gmail.com]

I'll probably end up just mixing at small venues and on internet radio and FM, all dubstep. is this gear good enough to pass?

im thinking about getting two stanton t.52b's @around 100 bucks each

and a stanton m212 for around 50

passable?

You should really post this up in the production part of the forum.

Don't see why it should be in the production forum, has nothing to do with making music.

I'd try and find a different pair of decks, one's which aren't belt drive but direct drive.

The mixer however looks fine for learning on.

The production section includes hardware

Dont buy cheap guy, get some technics and a deece mixer.

I started with 1210s. Glad I did.

[yooamatwa]

The way i see it if you don't buy 1210's now...your gonna have to buy them later. So id scrape another £100 together and buy a used pair off ebay...

[Pada]

I didn't start with 1210s BIG mistake!

[partition]

DJing has a high start up cost which is unavoidable, just get technics cause they are the industry standard, i got some second hand vestax and they are great but they ain't technics :/

[godflesh fiend]

Yeah just grab 1210's and a vestax mixer to start you off if you can.

If you can't get a decent deal from ebay just keep your eyes peeled on gum tree if you're in the UK or Ireland.

Example.....

Technics 1210 mkII Turntables x 2 and Numark Mixer (£300)

[SKINDAD]

if they're in good condition, 300boys is a good price for the decks alone

[godflesh fiend]

Hell yeah.

300 is a steal for those decks and the mixer.

If you live in Edinburgh......are looking for a steal.....that is it!

[rbnc]

woah. I thought mine were good at 350 for 2 and a mixer.

[SKINDAD]

Has anyone seen a pic? They might be battered

still, if you know anyone who hooks up spare parts, your sorted.

[godflesh fiend]

They look fine....

amen to this!

[dukefan6842@gmail.com]

Thanks to all for the advice, i just picked up a couple 1200's and a vestax mixer on ebay for 550 usd after shipping (330 pounds)

cant wait to get started

[G31]

nicely done

[djrodan]

Has anyone seen a pic? They might be battered

theyre 1210's, how battered can they be?

you made the right decision. best decision to make early on, get comfortable on those and youll be able to play on any tables anywhere! you wont regret. Those ones look pristine too, + cases, man you robbed him! GL have fun

[deamonds]

Why the f is it an issue to have not started with 1210’s? Not everyone can afford them lol! I started mixing when I was 12/13 and although the majority of time was in youth clubs on 1210’s, when I was at home I had some swag numark belt drives..
