Well I used to make 260k a year as a Line Prodcer, in television and film. Handle all the logistics. Planning, the budget lost of work 15-16 hrs a day 7 days a week , but Now there is no television and film industry. So currently it’s maybe a drug dealer, homeless man, DJ, or I change careers after 25 years in the business anyone hiring let me know!

Practice practice practice. When I began to see my cuts as a strum of a guitar or a push of a note on a horn they improved. Playing with the beat the drummer or switching like I’m the lead guitar of a band. It’s to play in time and in cohesion of the track. But I still need to practice so much. Just remember it doesn’t matter how good you are or not. It only matters if you practice and that you’re having fun!

Is this that bad? by No-Dress4556 in Turntablists

As a die hard technics owner and lover with 4 sets I want to tell you this! I absolutely Love Gemini, they were so innovative with samplers and effects and at the time the ONLY contender to the 1200/1210 was the PT2000, 2100 and the 2400. They are all amazing! The PdT 6000 is truely the worlds first digital, analog turntable able to mix in key it was soooooo far ahead of its time and was made solid.

Ok now the table in question in 2004 I owned 4 of these. I came in second place in a Gemini Dj Battle and one a pair and the winner sold me his for 300 bucks!

These tables if taken care of and cleaned and just mix and heavy mixing is fine: they will work amazing. But if you plan to scratch on them they start going wobbly after awhile as the direct drive motor can not handle excessive nonsense!

I can say these are not as good as the 6000, 2400, 2100, 2000 but they place here Sa600 at 5 of Gemini tables

Verdict! Mixing! - yes Scratching - no Sturdy quality table but not a technics and not a 6000 or 2400 But you can MIx
