@@AwkwardIntelligence - I’m not…I found out that this stock model is really noisey….it’s fun to practice and play with, but if you want to sample into tracks, you might want to spend a little more and get something better. You can upgrade this table, but it can be expensive to upgrade
@@MyDeadFriendz Thanks so much for getting back to me man, that's very helpful you probably just saved me a year. Do you have any suggestions for a model that'd be a step up? Thanks again from Bangkok
Thanks for the video bro I picked one of these up today never scratched before I’m also waiting for my yo cuts vinyl to turn up in the post but I been trying to practice on the only vinyl I have “dizzee Rascel flex” struggling with it though I think it’s because to much is going on, on the record thanks for the video gives me hope lol
Great tutorial, dude! My advise is to make a wrist rubber band mode to avoid that annoying hum when platter stopped by hand. I had same problem. Easy to fix. Cheep but really helpful.
@@TheKitComplete should check the belt itself. Maybe it is too stretched. The humming sound in your video appeares when belt slips around platter. After mode have been done two rubber surfaces (belt and rubber band) receive perfect connection, thus torq from motor spindle to platter goes without any leak. That's the idea. For me it works perfectly. Of course all should be installed properly. Good luck!
Олег Коваленко yeah this was ages ago so the belt was almost new. And after I took off the wrist band it worked perfectly. The only thing I can think of is it must have been the shape or the placement of the wrist band. Anyways, cheers bro
Thank you! Using the PT01 with DVS software isn't very simple to set up. It can requires some extra hardware that I don't have. If I ever find a good solution I will definitely make a video about it
There are some options for right handed scratchers but non of them a very elegant. Your best option would just be looking into the Reloop Spin or the Stanton DJ STX. Both of these turntables allow you to move the fader to the other side of the unit. Hope that helps
Wow love this video even for ur first time im in love watching this.. im getting into the portable world & was looking for recommendations on mods but also the fact u taught how it works and play is awesome. I can't wait to get this as my christmas gift im itching to scratch another great thing is my weakness is left hand this will help me improve , two it will force me to left so is needed.
Hey thank you! Yeah the beat I'm scratching over is a beat I made, coming from my computer. If you are looking for beats to scratch over I would highly recommend the app TableBeats. It's free and gives you access to thousands of looped beats by, great for scratching. I even have some of my own beats on there :)
This was so awesome thanks so much for this. I seen another review where you can connect your iPod/iPhone can you also scratch that music in you phone?
You can play 33 and 45. But I think you are probably asking about 12 inch records? You can definitely play them but scratching with them s extremely difficult
Hello! Do you still think this is the best option for someone who wants to lay down basic scratching over some metal tracks ? I’m gonna record straight into my audio interface
Hey, I think the best option at the moment might be the Stanton STX. The Reloop Spin might also be a good option, but not as good as the Stanton. The Numark pt01 is very capable but really requires a few modifications to get to the level of the other options I mentioned. Hope that helps :)

@@TheKitComplete Yo, can you scratch with this using a 12'' record, or only with the 7'' record ? is the 12'' only for playing music ? I'd like to use some 12'' scratch records but it always looks like people only are scratching using the 7''....
Thanks heaps! Yeah they are not exactly cheap but if you consider something like guitar strings cost about the same and they break all the time. But a record will last for many years before you’ll notice any wear. Also there are many records for under $20 and sales on a few times a year.
You can also go for a second handed record that might have a sentence before the song begins that you can scratch on,but that's quite rare in 7 inch vinyls.
Hey thanks! The fader is pretty great straight out of the box but removing the capacitor definitely improves the cut. If you wanted to get the fader I'd say try it out without removing the capacitor first and see what you think. Also in case you haven't seen it, Swiftstyle has a really good installation video ua-cam.com/video/CIW95dmwIcI/v-deo.html
It is definitely a great upgrade. For me the fader is just so much more natural than the switch. It's not completely necessary but if you like the pt01 it's an upgrade you certainly make at some point
Are there royalty free 7 inch battle records? I am thinking about getting into scratching because I would like to use it in my music, but I also want to make sure I can put my music out on Spotify without having copyright issues. Awesome video by the way!
There are but as far as I know they are not very common and it is sometimes hard to find out which records are royalty free. Scratching has been in a grey area for some time now. It is incredibly unlikely for your music to get flagged on a streaming service when using battle records, I have never heard of it happening. That said it is technically possible for music to get flagged. Hope that's helpful :)
There are cases you want the needle to "jump" to get specific sound,but guys in case you wonder the needle ain't jumping the way you want.The ring is kind of needed, it's not impossible to scratch without, it's actually quite possible.
Kit Complete yeah it def was a reverse polarities gig I was there with a few boys from Campbelltown I’ve know Damon since I was a teen from the area I remember meeting you I think on the way to Hibernian house for the after party damn Sydney has changed since back then
@@timmo1714 Yeah totally! I kind of missed a lot of it because it's changed so much since I moved. I've got hope that Sydney will rebuild it's culture after all of this
Thanks! So a lot of 7 inch records are 45rpm but because these are made for scratching they are actually 33rpm. And yeah you can buy them from the links in the description. Cheers!
Not really. With the Jesse Dean mk2 fader it is possible but requires a bit of effort. If you are only going to use it with an external fader/mixer you could always get a regular pt01 USB
@@TheKitComplete why? Letting the fader open and connecting rca output it should work as a regular table. I’d like to use as standalone or with mixer depend the situation. I saw videos using pt scratch with mixer and seems to work fine...
I got the old Jesse Dean fader. The new one is a little bit more expensive but has some good features the old one doesn't have jessedeancustoms.com/collections/portable-turntable-fader
So it's jessedeancustoms.com/ for the fader, bihari.bigcartel.com/ for the platter stabilizer, and the needle is just off of Amazon. This is the one I bought www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01JJ73BGY/
Yeah definitely. You'd just need some kind of audio interface (to get audio to your pc) and some way of recording it (a DAW like ableton, fl studio, etc)
Yeah the Omni looks amazing. It's quite a bit more expensive than the pt01 though. For anyone who wants to start scratching I would def still recommend the pt01 or the reloop spin. The Omni is more for experienced portablists, it's def some next level stuff.
I have this device and I listen to recordings with it. However, I cannot record these recordings with the original bass quality. I do not have any sound card. is there any way to do this?
@@TheKitComplete hmmm when im scratching sometimes the needle is jumping on other groove how can i avoid that and do you have some more scratch tutorial because your tutorial is very clear and helpful thanks !
Hey, this is a fairly common problem with a few solutions. Firstly you can add a platter stabilizer or upgrade the whole platter. Less platter wobble helps a lot. If you need you can add some weight to the needle like a penny or something. Also when you are just starting there is a tendency to be very heavy handed. With time you’ll learn a lighter touch. Also look into getting skipless records.
So the fader is from jessedeancustoms.com/ and the needle is off amazon amzn.to/3jkYl4W But the tonearm is just stock and I'm not sure what you mean by metal plate.
do you have a link for the same vinyl stabilizer you used and diamond needle? im a totally completely new beginner who got introduced to this literally 5 minutes ago and I want to learn a new hobby. my friend told me to stick with the stock fader on this unit for now, but he definitely said to ask you where to get the same stabilizer and diamond needle. anything helps to get me started!
Hey, so the stabilizer is from Bihari Designs bihari.bigcartel.com/product/platter-upgrade-kit-for-pt01-scratch There are a couple of people who make them and I think they are all pretty much the same. The needle I just got off Amazon amzn.to/3jkYl4W And yeah the scratch switch is actually pretty decent, especially for getting started. When you want to upgrade I can recommend the Jesse Dean Designs fader, but again there are a few people who make them and they all seem pretty good.
@@TheKitComplete ooh thank you for your prompt reply. Will get one next week and might try my hands on turtablism. Your video tutorial is very concise and to the point. Greatly appreciate it.
Kit Complete I’m using the stock one it came with, when I record a scratch it plays back the full scratch without me using the fader. I just bought a red/yellow cable to usb though and I’m hoping that solves the issue.
Rodney Makowski oh are you using the USB output on the pt01? When you use the USB output it bypasses the cross fader so yeah it won’t work. I’m not sure if that cable will work (I’ve never used one), if it doesn’t you’ll might have to look into getting an audio interface. A cheap option is the Behringer UFO202 Audio Interface
@@TheKitComplete Thank you ! I found some sites i Can find all the Stuff. I already installes the Jesse Dean Fader , another needle and a Stabilizer ring. I am actually thinking about ordering another tonearm and a Start/stop Button , But installing those itmea seems to be too complicated for me 😂 Did. you change your tonearm and you think it is necessary ?
Hey man i got a question. Im interested in buying the pt01 Scratch but i need to know if you can record your scratches in something like fl studios. Do you know if this is possible? Thanks in advance, cool vid
goddamn zordan why is the fader on the right side? I dunno man, just a design choice. You should have a look at the Reloop Spin. You can put the fader on either side
Yeah this is the original JD fader so just regular. And I did remove the capacitor. I can't actually remember if I tried using the fader with the capacitor still in place so I can't say if it made much difference but I did it because Swiftstyle recommended it
The Kit Complete good to know. Thx man. I stupidly bought a DDJ-800 and Pioneer table and some Rekordbox vinyl today (for DVS) when I should have just gone this route haha. I think I am going to return it and spend $275 on your setup.
That’s a big purchase for sure. I don’t know if it was stupid but the pt01 is def cheaper. If you want something digital you could also look at the sc1000/500 portablismgear.com/sc1000.html
@@paulionutz Sorry I'm not sure what you mean. If you want to mix records (mix from one record to another like a regular DJ) then no you can not do that with the pt01. You would need 2 record players and a mixer
@@paulionutz Oh ok. You can technically scratch any record but I would highly recommend getting some 7 inch scratch records. I got mine from shop.portablist.com/ and jessedeancustoms.com/shop/ But some other good places are www.stokyoworld.com/ , scratchbreak.com/ and www.turntabletrainingwax.com/ depending where you live. Those are some good places to start, or just google 7 inch battle records and you'll find heaps
Hi nice cuts! I got a pt 01 a couple of days ago, and i am getting a loud shhhhh sound when i open the fader, can you help me? I can't find any information on net about this problem that i am having
@@TheKitComplete yes, from both, it sounds like when you have the volume too loud and nothing is playing, just a shhhh sound, do you know? Hahaha, i can try and send a video to you
Would you say the pt01 is a good buy, even though you need to upgrade almost every feature it has? I’m just starting out and a wondering if it’s worth getting into, or maybe it’s better to start at a higher level of a turntable…
It is a bit of a tricky question. In short I would say yes it's worth it. Even with all of the upgrades it is still a very cheap way of getting into scratching, possibly the cheapest. One thing to keep in mind when you're looking at full sized turntables is that for scratching you don't want to go with the cheapest model, especially avoid anything that is belt driven. You'll want to look at direct drive turntables. Plus you'll have to get your own mixer which adds to the cost. Depending where you are you might find a good deal on second hand goods. There are definitely pros and cons either way you go. For me going portable was the best option as I don't have the room for a permanent setup so being able to quickly and easily move/setup/pack away was a big factor in my choice. Hope that all helps
You are the man! I wish i had a picture to show you this setup but I did manage to use a guitar cable hooked from the turntable to my audio interface, but behold it worked! I can use the switch and record into my laptop! Thanks !!
Hi I want to get me this turntable have unfortunately not seen so many tutorials. Could you recommend the turntable? And can you also listen to normal vinyl bsp. to take away in the record store ? Lg
Hi, yeah I would definitely recommend this turntable. An alternative you might want to look at is the Reloop Spin. And yes you can listen to regular vinyl on both of these turntables
Hi Kit, I just got mine pt01, and I am wondering if it is normal that I got sound with my tonearm even when I turn off the audio button, thank you very much for the reply
Hey, yeah it's perfectly normal to hear the sound of the record even with the power off. It's just the vibrations from the record reverberating through the turntable
Bro I have felt that way many times. I can only say stick with it hey. I have found for most people learning the basics of scratching is far easier than most instruments so I'm sure in a little time you'll learn enough to just have fun with it. The turntablist/portablist community is heaps supportive so remember to reach out whenever you need

I can't understand where the music comes from,is it connected to a phone or something?
Yeah the music is coming from my computer. There is an aux input on the pt01 so you can scratch over beats so I'm just using that
Would this be a good turntable to learn on?
I think it's great. And it is by far the cheapest and easiest way to get into scratching
What crossfader did you buy?
I got the old Jesse Dean fader. The new one is a little bit more expensive but has some good features the old one doesn't have jessedeancustoms.com/collections/portable-turntable-fader
Where’s the links for the upgrades ?
So it's jessedeancustoms.com/ for the fader, bihari.bigcartel.com/ for the platter stabilizer, and the needle is just off of Amazon. This is the one I bought www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01JJ73BGY/
The Kit Complete thank you so much dude
@@BlackPoisonxD You're welcome!
Hey, is there any way to record your scrathing on pc with a beat?
Yeah definitely. You'd just need some kind of audio interface (to get audio to your pc) and some way of recording it (a DAW like ableton, fl studio, etc)
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
THIS IS SO DOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 thanks bro!
@@TheKitComplete Do you still recommend this "wannabe-scratch-Dj" kit, today?
Have you seen the "Omni Headache Sound" mini-scratch turntable?
Yeah the Omni looks amazing. It's quite a bit more expensive than the pt01 though. For anyone who wants to start scratching I would def still recommend the pt01 or the reloop spin. The Omni is more for experienced portablists, it's def some next level stuff.
@@TheKitComplete Thanks for your opinion! All the best!
I have this device and I listen to recordings with it. However, I cannot record these recordings with the original bass quality. I do not have any sound card. is there any way to do this?
To be honest I have never gotten the the USB connection to work the way I want it to so I'm not much help, sorry
Youre awesome man im starting too!!
That's great! Let us know if you need anything
@@TheKitComplete hmmm when im scratching sometimes the needle is jumping on other groove how can i avoid that and do you have some more scratch tutorial because your tutorial is very clear and helpful thanks !
Hey, this is a fairly common problem with a few solutions. Firstly you can add a platter stabilizer or upgrade the whole platter. Less platter wobble helps a lot. If you need you can add some weight to the needle like a penny or something. Also when you are just starting there is a tendency to be very heavy handed. With time you’ll learn a lighter touch. Also look into getting skipless records.
@@TheKitComplete aight aight thanks bro :))
Where to buy tonearm, metal plate, etc.?
Also the fader too?
So the fader is from jessedeancustoms.com/ and the needle is off amazon amzn.to/3jkYl4W
But the tonearm is just stock and I'm not sure what you mean by metal plate.
do you have a link for the same vinyl stabilizer you used and diamond needle? im a totally completely new beginner who got introduced to this literally 5 minutes ago and I want to learn a new hobby. my friend told me to stick with the stock fader on this unit for now, but he definitely said to ask you where to get the same stabilizer and diamond needle. anything helps to get me started!
Hey, so the stabilizer is from Bihari Designs bihari.bigcartel.com/product/platter-upgrade-kit-for-pt01-scratch
There are a couple of people who make them and I think they are all pretty much the same.
The needle I just got off Amazon amzn.to/3jkYl4W
And yeah the scratch switch is actually pretty decent, especially for getting started. When you want to upgrade I can recommend the Jesse Dean Designs fader, but again there are a few people who make them and they all seem pretty good.
can i use it as a normal vinyl player if im not scratching?
Yeah it will work just fine
@@TheKitComplete ooh thank you for your prompt reply. Will get one next week and might try my hands on turtablism. Your video tutorial is very concise and to the point. Greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!
I em a new member of the scratch world I em having trouble with where to put the needle on the record can someone help me out
Just need to put it on the part of the record you want to scratch
Thanks 🤩
How do you replace the fader ?
Check out this video ua-cam.com/video/CIW95dmwIcI/v-deo.html
With the new JDD fader I don't think you have to remove the capacitor anymore
Sooooo nice! Thank you!
Thanks bro! Glad you like it
Sir i need this cross fider
I love this thing but I’m having trouble recording scratches with it, it’s not picking up the mutes
You mean like your crossfader is bleeding? What kind of fader are you using?
Kit Complete I’m using the stock one it came with, when I record a scratch it plays back the full scratch without me using the fader. I just bought a red/yellow cable to usb though and I’m hoping that solves the issue.
Rodney Makowski oh are you using the USB output on the pt01? When you use the USB output it bypasses the cross fader so yeah it won’t work. I’m not sure if that cable will work (I’ve never used one), if it doesn’t you’ll might have to look into getting an audio interface. A cheap option is the Behringer UFO202 Audio Interface
Kit Complete sheeeit alright I’ll just hope for the best
@@rodneymakowski7353 Yeah let me know how it goes with the cable
Thanks a lot❤️
Thank you!
helped me a lot subscribed!
That's awesome! Thanks man!
STILL LEARNING.....STILL MY GO TO......
🙏🙏🙏
where is the version for left handed djs ?? :(
Check out the Reloop Spin
How do u connect mk3 to pt01
I just run RCA out of the pt01 to 1/4 inch ins on the Maschine
Great video sir , you just earned my sub .
Good to hear it! Thank you sir!
Interesting 🎶🎵👍 thanks
Glad you enjoyed it 🙏
Thanks for this, really helps!
Cheers man! Glad it was helpful
Hey , thx for your helpful guide 👍ordered that numark now. Can you set some links of your mods? Thx from Berlin , germany
Thanks! There are a lot of places selling mods but if you're in Germany I would suggest starting with portablismgear.com/
@@TheKitComplete Thank you ! I found some sites i Can find all the Stuff. I already installes the Jesse Dean Fader , another needle and a Stabilizer ring. I am actually thinking about ordering another tonearm and a Start/stop Button , But installing those itmea seems to be too complicated for me 😂
Did. you change your tonearm and you think it is necessary ?
can you use the pt01 to scratch 12” as well?
It's technically possible but I wouldn't recommend it
And now the heads can tell me everything I got wrong 😂
Hey man i got a question. Im interested in buying the pt01 Scratch but i need to know if you can record your scratches in something like fl studios. Do you know if this is possible?
Thanks in advance, cool vid
@@LowlandsWolf you are able to record your scratches, or even your samples from different vynils! you can connect it trough usb cable or RCA (Y)
wht the hell is fader on the right side?
goddamn zordan why is the fader on the right side? I dunno man, just a design choice. You should have a look at the Reloop Spin. You can put the fader on either side
Hey bro did you remove the capacitor as others suggested, with the JD fader? Also is this the Contactless one or the regular? Looks regular. Thanks!
Yeah this is the original JD fader so just regular. And I did remove the capacitor. I can't actually remember if I tried using the fader with the capacitor still in place so I can't say if it made much difference but I did it because Swiftstyle recommended it
@@TheKitComplete Thx! How did you remove it? Solder? Tweezers? Such little info out there overall haha.
@@DopamineOverload I just used a pair of scissors. I was pretty nervous about it but it's actually a lot easier than it seems
The Kit Complete good to know. Thx man. I stupidly bought a DDJ-800 and Pioneer table and some Rekordbox vinyl today (for DVS) when I should have just gone this route haha. I think I am going to return it and spend $275 on your setup.
That’s a big purchase for sure. I don’t know if it was stupid but the pt01 is def cheaper. If you want something digital you could also look at the sc1000/500 portablismgear.com/sc1000.html
can you use all the vinyls to mix?
To do a regular DJ set? No you would need 2 record players and a mixer
The Kit Complete I mean for this pt-01 scratch. Thank you
@@paulionutz Sorry I'm not sure what you mean. If you want to mix records (mix from one record to another like a regular DJ) then no you can not do that with the pt01. You would need 2 record players and a mixer
The Kit Complete I mean I have this device for pt-01 scratch but I don't have vinyl for it. do I need a special vinyl to be able to scratch?
@@paulionutz Oh ok. You can technically scratch any record but I would highly recommend getting some 7 inch scratch records. I got mine from shop.portablist.com/ and jessedeancustoms.com/shop/ But some other good places are www.stokyoworld.com/ , scratchbreak.com/ and www.turntabletrainingwax.com/ depending where you live. Those are some good places to start, or just google 7 inch battle records and you'll find heaps
Great tutorial bro!
Darrin Davis thanks bro 🙏
Hi nice cuts! I got a pt 01 a couple of days ago, and i am getting a loud shhhhh sound when i open the fader, can you help me? I can't find any information on net about this problem that i am having
Hey, thanks! Without seeing it I'm not sure what the problem might be. Are you getting the same noise out of the speaker and the headphones?
@@TheKitComplete yes, from both, it sounds like when you have the volume too loud and nothing is playing, just a shhhh sound, do you know? Hahaha, i can try and send a video to you
Hmm I'm not sure hey. If you're on Facebook there is a pt01 owners group that could prob help out facebook.com/groups/1165167453538446/
Would you say the pt01 is a good buy, even though you need to upgrade almost every feature it has? I’m just starting out and a wondering if it’s worth getting into, or maybe it’s better to start at a higher level of a turntable…
It is a bit of a tricky question. In short I would say yes it's worth it. Even with all of the upgrades it is still a very cheap way of getting into scratching, possibly the cheapest. One thing to keep in mind when you're looking at full sized turntables is that for scratching you don't want to go with the cheapest model, especially avoid anything that is belt driven. You'll want to look at direct drive turntables. Plus you'll have to get your own mixer which adds to the cost. Depending where you are you might find a good deal on second hand goods. There are definitely pros and cons either way you go. For me going portable was the best option as I don't have the room for a permanent setup so being able to quickly and easily move/setup/pack away was a big factor in my choice. Hope that all helps
why does the scratch switch not work when im connected USB??!
It's just the way the turntable is set up I'm afraid. The USB output bypasses the scratch switch
How do I record my scratches into my computer using the scratch switch? Or any way to record them ?
@@hudsonconner3279 You'll need to use the audio out of the PT01 and record into some kind of audio interface
You are the man! I wish i had a picture to show you this setup but I did manage to use a guitar cable hooked from the turntable to my audio interface, but behold it worked! I can use the switch and record into my laptop! Thanks !!
@@hudsonconner3279 Awesome! Glad you got it sorted
Nice one! Very helpful 👍🏼
Awesome, thanks! Glad you could check it out :)
@@TheKitComplete of course! Now I just need some practice records :)
Hi I want to get me this turntable have unfortunately not seen so many tutorials. Could you recommend the turntable? And can you also listen to normal vinyl bsp. to take away in the record store ? Lg
Hi, yeah I would definitely recommend this turntable. An alternative you might want to look at is the Reloop Spin. And yes you can listen to regular vinyl on both of these turntables
Hi Kit, I just got mine pt01, and I am wondering if it is normal that I got sound with my tonearm even when I turn off the audio button, thank you very much for the reply
Hey, yeah it's perfectly normal to hear the sound of the record even with the power off. It's just the vibrations from the record reverberating through the turntable
I just got the gear.but my first attempt l was so bad .thought it was simple
Bro I have felt that way many times. I can only say stick with it hey. I have found for most people learning the basics of scratching is far easier than most instruments so I'm sure in a little time you'll learn enough to just have fun with it. The turntablist/portablist community is heaps supportive so remember to reach out whenever you need
@@TheKitComplete thanks bro.just keep the videos coming buddy.you motivate me
Yo so I can just mod with any diamond tip stylus replacement and be good?
Anyone that works yeah. This is the one I bought www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01JJ73BGY/
Thanks
@@gabe7987 No worries!
But did you change that crossfader or is it standard?
Yep, swapped it out for the Jesse Dean fader 0:48
