    You need more subs. Brilliant content. I’ve used a Reloop Spin for years, but I’ll be checking out the Omni based on your recommendation

      I’m gradually building my subs lol. As I don’t make videos of dogs running into walls or people falling off a roof, the sub increase is definitely a slower one. The Reloop is great but that DVS option on the Omni seals the deal for me. Thanks for watching.

    DVS can be so powerful when used like this. Just using it for DJing is only half the story.

    You have said before “you don’t miss vinyl” but here you are back again with a turntable.😂 If it’s just needle drop and random access you’re after, you could easily accomplish that with a DJ media player. Some media players even have slots for removable storage. It seems to me that the “vinyl bug” bit you long ago, and it’s hard to give it up.

    • @TheCratesMotel
      @TheCratesMotel  11 місяців тому

      I think what I explained was I don’t miss having 20000 records and all the grief that goes with it, but I do miss the tactile side of it. I do use media players, but I can’t scratch with them. I tried scratching with Pioneer CDJs and it’s just not the same. The advantages of this workflow is zero storage needed for records, tactile scratching and I can still use media players as well. Cheers for watching dude.

      I totally understand. I have couple thousand records I’ve had in storage for the last couple years. It in my mind represents a time and a place, like those old photo albums they would have to wrench from my cold dead hands. I envy your resolve and hope to get there myself.

    Dope channel ! Thanks for all you do . What do you think of the sound quality when playing actual vinyl compared to a technics 1200? I have 2 other portable decks and the quality isn’t up to speed to sample from them .

    • @TheCratesMotel
      @TheCratesMotel  10 місяців тому

      Hey dude thanks for watching. I think it entirely depends on what portable deck you are using and what cartridge and stylus. I paid a little extra for a decent stylus on the Omni. That said, I know plenty of producers who sample from other portable decks. The thing with a 1210 is you’re also getting the sound of the mixer or amp you are using and that can add to the vibe.

    • @TheCratesMotel
      @TheCratesMotel  Рік тому +1

      Hey. You don’t need an interface if you have all that. You can scratch or play music straight into your MPC from the mixer if you connect line out of the mixer to line in on the One. The MPC is an interface in itself and can be connected to a computer and used as an interface. Thanks for watching dude.

      Hey buddy, I can’t to be honest. The only portable speaker I use is a small Bose one and that is probably not as loud as your JBL. Maybe it is worth contacting the guys at Headache Sounds and seeing if they can offer any advice. There is also a decent Omni user group on Facebook that is quite helpful. Thanks for watching.

      It’s not supported in Serato apparently. It might work but I don’t have the software to test it. Serato are very weird about who they allow to support their software/hardware for some reason.
