Hello, here’s my current setup:
- MPC Ren
- Numark M2 mixer
- Technics sl-q3 (with it’s original cartridge)
So here is my question - is my turntable good for some scratching practice (if I change it’s cartridge and needle) or I could screw up something by trying it? It’s oldschool direct drive Technics but not designed for dj’ng purposes and I use it for sampling and listening, you know...
I can buy second turntable just for scratching but maybe it’s not needed? I’m on a budget so I can afford Numark PT01 Scratch or used AT120 usb.
And second question - if I choose to go with PT01 could I use a fader from my Numark M2 mixer (bought recently mainly for EQ purposes when I’m sampling) for scratching instead of „fader” thing it’s comes with? Both faders aren’t perfect I know and there is an option for modding PT01 but I don’t care so much about mobility so maybe I should buy innofader in future for my Numark mixer instead of modding PT01 / or to use it with my current turntable?

It’s really the same motor as Technics 1200? If yes - this turntable should be good also for sratching with proper cartridge and stylus?
