DJ Turntable Vinyl is it bad for a DJ to have turntables that don't match?
Ok sooo heres the deal, I'm a teenager training as a DJ, and I have a very tight budget for equipment. I can't afford two CD decks. I bought one vinyl turntable to practice scratching, but the problem with vinyl is that new songs arent published in LP format anymore, and I have to play at least some new music. So Im probably going to end up buying a cheap CD deck for channel 2 so I can play new music with the CD table and play older music/scratch with the vinyl turntable. So my question is Are there any downsides or things to be aware of when using two turntables that are way different? Would it look weird?
Nope. Unless the punters are going to climb up and have a look - who cares?
its the way you spin it baby - dont matter what it looks like
