how is this a meme? a 3d model turntable on grey is a very standard way to evaluate a model/texture at any studio. Super run-of-the-mill ordinary procedure here!

Thank you for the quality! I have been on an exploration of electronic musicians. Lately, it has been females thanks to Sarah Angliss. It kicked off with a Siouxsie and the Banshees video with the drummer playing with an instrument named the waterphone during an interview. I noted the date of the interview and found out that it was used on a track on a 12" single that I have in my collection. I have not listened to since it for ages since I no longer have a turntable. It happens to be one of my favorite songs from them. Then I remembered that I discovered that instrument here many moons ago. I have added Current 93 to my list of music to check out. Thanks!

this is pretty much bang on. there are several versions of a "special turntable" which are just controllers. you can use all in one controller set ups, CDJs/XDJs in HID mode, or rane's 12 turntable, which is just a stand alone controller for DVS. all in one controllers are geared more toward bedroom and wedding DJs, the rane 12 is pretty boutique and for turntablist/party rock DJs, and CDJs/XDJs are what everyone else uses and are industry standard and in every club/rave/festival/tech rider. there is also a growing move back to vinyl in certain scenes, especially techno and jungle/choppage/breakbeat hardcore scenes.

it offers nothing new to a DJ's workflow while replacing one failure point with 2 new ones (battery and proprietary RF) and adds another stupid little box that's definitely going to cause problems during setup. DVSs are already a pain in the ass, have compromised sound quality, have latency issues, fail all the time (both user error and software/hardware errors) which is one of the many reasons why almost no touring DJs outside the turntablism/party rock world use them anymore. 99.9% of headliners and locals are USB/SD card and CDJ2000s.

the rane 12 is a much more robust and professional product that fills the same gap as this toy. also, i swear i saw this getting hyped around 5 years ago.

I'm pretty sure the vinyl itself has nothing on it. It's all digitized and stored in a module. The "Phase" device is just a very accurate, low-latency angular-position transducer for controlling the module.

So... why not just read the position directly from a special turntable (like the other digital sets they sell)? I dunno, I guess these let you use your favorite Technics turntables from 1989 that have just the right feel or whatever.

I don't know this, I'm just basing it on the evidence that there is clearly no stylus dragging across the record, so the sound can't be coming from there.

Ed: Oh, and I guess it's wireless. Maybe that's a big deal.

So, vertical maglev with turntables?

Still plenty of bands not only releasing albums but albums on vinyl!

I just spent $40 on the new Beastwars album* including a special edition vinyl pressing. The album comes with a download code. No reason you can't have best of both worlds.

I can't tell you if music objectively sounds better on vinyl. It might all be bullshit, but part of the experience of putting a record on a turntable makes it more enjoyable.

*which you should all buy because a) they're awesome, b) they're from NZ and c) their website is http://www.obeytheriff.com (probably the best URL ever)

Huh. Haven't seen someone swap left/right around for the crossfader and level's before.

Normally people have left channel of the mixer assigned to the left turntable and same for right. Would confuse the heck out you first time, but I guess you'd get used to it. Makes that crossfader work look even cooler.

Well there you go, Hamster style

Needs more turntable

Notice the engine on the turntable has the name "Montreal?" These are engines in Sri Lanka given by Canada in the 50's as part of the Colombo plan exchanges. They've kept them going strong for quite a while! The one named after my home province was involved in the boxing day tsunami.


They got that one running again.

I am now and making turntable scratching sounds. wiggy wiggy scratch (timeline scratch)

I had this on 45 rpm as a kid and played it on a plastic turntable.
