The vinyl rather quickly if you're using it for long periods of time every day. That would make it about 800.00 a pair, but still a decent deal.Īnd yes, the needles and control vinyl wear out.

GC is selling them for 600.00 each with a case and 200.00 mail in rebate. I've seen quite a few turntablists able to adapt and cut like crazy on the small format platters but it's not that comfortable for me.Ħ00.00 for a pair? Not sure about that. Traktor for me, has too many bell's and whistles and I don't like dealing with the hardware. I'll take the 1200's over the 45 sized NS7/V7. And I truly believe bigger is better when it comes to scratching. Itch is a very watered down version of Scratch. Which is more convenient to use? Which is more fun to use? Which do you like using more? So those that have both, which "sounds" more like real cutting. They are so different, that I really didnt want to go down that road though. I see this is turning to a Serato vs V7 thread. Im all for not touching my laptop at all. The V7's also seem to allow you to control things from without much or any keyboard use. I forsee none of those issues with the V7. Needle skips, im sure can still be an issue. With Serato your vinyl, and cyber needles wear out eventually right? I still may be compelled to put some form of currency on the headshell from time to time. I dont need those features, but if im gonna buy a virtual one trick scratching pony, it might as well have some buttons on it that amuse me from time to time. To get the same gimicky dohickeys in Scratch Live, I would have to buy one of those special cyber mixers or whatever. I have a vinyl setup already with Techs and mixer etc.

The cutting sounds realistic enough to me, in the demos I have seen. For my purposes, it seems to do the same as Scratch Live. And by the way, it's not the Dark Side, it's the Smart Side.V7's come with Serato Itch. But if you already have one turntable (or two) and a mixer, just purchasing Serato would be a better bet. It's just a controller, you will still need something whether it's Serato, Traktor, or something else. Do you have turntables now? Mixer? Any vinyl emulation system? You said that the V7 would be cheaper than Serato.
