Serato Hardware...

DjRokaShade 3:19 PM - 16 March, 2010
Hello,

My name is Daniel and I am a Dj. I lived in Romania and just moved in Hamburg, Germany. I've been in some clubs and I've seen that altmost everybody uses Serato and turntables.
I never used Serato and I never played on vinyl. I only played on cd-players. What I've seen here in Hamburg is really cool and nice. I got some skills, but never scratched and things like this... so I want to buy this stuff, Serato and Co. :P
I put my eyes on Technics 1210 Mk2 and TTM56 or 57(Depends on how much money I will get until the time comes). Do I need something more ? I have a preety good notebook and I've seen some videos about this software. I don't think that I need something else(for example Sl3)... or do I ?

Thanks for answering,

Daniel

just using 2 1200's and a rane 56 with serato sl1 will work. (( cheapest option ))

the 57 has serato built inside along with effects and other options. ( 1,200 ) or less depending on deals.

the sl3 is the top performer of the 3.meaning better inside parts,better sound quality ( with good files ) a option for 3 decks and many other options.

if it was me i would go with the 2 1200's,rane 56 and the sl3. and then maybe later on get the 57 or a newer version of the 57.

hope this helps

But what is Rane 56. It's a incorporated SL1 or it's just a simply mixer ?
If it's just a mixer, I'll prefer to buy a pioneer :)

its just a mixer and to be honest its a better quality mixer then a pioneer

Ok I will see...

What configuration do you have/use ?
dj shadow from detroit 4:03 PM - 16 March, 2010
the 57 has it built inside = better deal really.

the 56 is like 700-800 then serato is 500.

im sure serato will drop a new version of the 57 soon with better inside parts and usb 2.0 or firewire.

i have a 57 and a 56 with sl1 for back up.both are the best mixers i ever used.
DjRokaShade 4:04 PM - 16 March, 2010
So I will just but Rane 57(no sl3) and the ttables and my pc ?
dj shadow from detroit 4:04 PM - 16 March, 2010
i had the 57 for 3 years and its been flawless along with the 56.

pioneer are good.but for quality the 56 will last longer
dj shadow from detroit 4:05 PM - 16 March, 2010
that will work.the sl3 offers a 3rd deck.the 57 doesnt but the 57 offers internal effects and control over everything.
dj shadow from detroit 4:06 PM - 16 March, 2010
i would get the 57 and later get a backup maybe a sl1 or a sl3.
dj shadow from detroit 4:07 PM - 16 March, 2010
u will be happy with 57 or 56.if your a scratch dj u will really like the mixers :)
DjRokaShade 4:07 PM - 16 March, 2010
I got it. Thanks Man. I think I will get just Ttables and the 57.

Do you think technics 1210 mk2 are good ?
dj shadow from detroit 4:09 PM - 16 March, 2010
