The cartridge is what the stylus slides into. The stylus is the little metal needle that you put on the record. And the stylus is literally "the needle" that touches the record. But actually, "the needle" is a headshell, wires, cartridge and stylus. Oh and it does damage vinyl.sorry about that! As others mentioned there are variables.tone arm weight used, needle used, even what the record is made of!Ĭartridge and needle are just different parts of what most people call "the needle". Could get you some amazingly dope sample material. Collaborations are always good.īelieve me, as a DJ who has had **** direct drives, good direct drives, Cd turns and 3 mixers I can tell you that unless you REALLY wanna skratch then that money can be better spent. Or even find people near you who are willing to. I mean I'm sure people on here would be willing to put a few basic cuts down. Sure a Technics would be a good bet but it's also a shed load of money wasted that could have been spent on those all important samples/records.Īnd I hear what you're saying about skratches, but even if you wanna do that propperly you've got to then buy a mixer (preffereably a skratch mixer - more expensive) which will cost again more. I would seriously reconsider getting a Direct drive though and would even look at second hand belt drive hi-fi turntables. I would say stick to getting a vinyl turntable as if you're going for the oldschool sorta sound then the sound of the vinyl (even the crackle) is something you'll want. I take everything pretty seriously (3rd year at uni doing music tech) and try to stand by old school ("true hip hop") ethics. I've been DJing coming on 6 years and making beats seriously for say 3. But I just want to let you know my experience and where I stand on certain things before giving your advise. I also i hear about cartridges wat do these do and is a good one nessesary? And are these things (needles/catrdiges) easy to installįirstly I don't know your experience or anyone elses on here.
What kind of needles would you suggest if I want good wear protection and a transparent sound (no added bass becuz I have a low pass filter I can do that w). Im sayin subtle wear is okay for me I just dont want unplayable records after a short period of time.
Also I want to add scratches in my beats like maybe on a breakbeat when its about to drop back in or somethin just for a changeup. I just copped an MPC and im bout to cop a direct drive wen i can save up the cash, im goin with a technics, and I just need to be able to like.if i hear a hot part i wanna sample, just be able to run that back with my finger to rewind it to the right point. I copped a belt drive usb turntable so i could find my own samples while using FL, but now im not even usin the computer to make beats. I dont wanna go the CD route becuz I dont want to DJ at all, im just using it to sample and put into my beats.
