I ONLY use the Technic 1200 turntable. I will never use anything else. If you want a scratch, mix and shuffle, make sure you have these pieces of equipment. You just can’t get any better. Of course some will argue but you have to stay true to the sport. Numark makes a great turntable but it just doesn’t hold the wieght that the 1200 does. (no pun intended) I am not just a DJ but a good one. It just doesn’t get better. Technics+1200+MKII= heaven!

Currently I’m set with my Mixman DM2 running through DM2MIDI , Midiox + Midiyoke, and into either NI’s Traktor or Ableton Live. this is in combination with a Evolution X-Session and sometimes a M-Audio Trigger Finger…

I rip all my vinyl on a Technics 1200 MKII with an ortofon cart, but i use the above setup above to dj mashups at house parties.

the scratch response is pretty good on an Inspiron 700m with an Echo I/O card.

it’s like a poor man’s final scratch.

I’m rockin’ an old Technics 1200 mkII with Ms. Pinky, and it works GREAT for doing crazy MAX/MSP stuff. I do live sampling and looping, and use the technics for control.

Of course, everybody makes fun of me for only having one turntable, but I’m not a DJ, so whatever.

You need direct-drive…it is the only way.
