45's vs normal turntables

i have a 45 and i got it because it was rather cheap.The question is...are 45's the best to sample with on my mpc?Do normal turntables have a wider selection of records?im having a hard time finding worthwhile 45's anywhere

There is no best source to sample from.A sample is a sample.It just basicly comes down to how you want to sample.If you wanna use c.d.s,dvds,mp3s whatever.Vinyl is just considered more or a rarity and is valued as a collectors item.If you can find 45's use 'em if you find 12's use it.It doesn't matter.

yeah i know that.im asking if regular turntables have a greater variety of records to choose from than the 45 because as i said im having a hard time finding 45's

you keep referring to 45s as a type of turntable.

A 45 is a type of record, the little 7-inch ones that play at 45 rpm.

No one here knows what the hell you are talking about, or asking.

What, in the name of Zeus, ARE you talking about?

Numark PT01 Portable DJ Turntable is what i have.

i go into record stores looking for records to sample from and the ones most of all the record stores have dont fit my turntable

wow, you are a true idiot.

I have the same one, the PT-01. It plays 12 inch records just fine.

Simply put a 12-inch record on the platter, make sure the play speed is at 33 (!!!!!) and put the needle on it.

It works fine.

Edit: TAKE THE 45 ADAPTER OFF THE MIDDLE OF THE PLATTER BEFORE PUTTING A 12-INCH RECORD ON IT!!!

IDIOT.

Koo, what cord i need to hook em up

Look at the turntable outputs, and you tell me.

People like you should quit now and not bother with any of this music stuff.

holy shit.

at least its in the right forum.

i'd like to have been in that record store when u came in

... Hey man - it's kinda pathetic that these guys are treating you like an idiot, but hey - says more about them huh?

So part of the problem is the time it takes to take off and replace the spindles, whenever you're changing records with different sized holes - and that American 45s have 1.5"-diameter (38mm) centre holes. Pressings made in other countries often have 1/4" (6mm) holes.

Anyway - they've kept the simple solution from you.

What the "real-pros" (like tic-toc) use to get around your problem, involves a power drill and a set of these:



You usually can't find 'single' hole-saw bits, as they are bundled in varying quantities. Just make sure you get a set with a 1.5" diameter cutter in it. You'll notice that the "pilot" drill-bit is (not) coincedentally 1/4" - which makes the existing hole in those 'euro' and 33rpm disc's - a perfect guide hole.

Soooo, you just grab up any records that don't fit your player. And mod 'em to work, by cutting the proper sized hole in the center.

Easy.

Don't let anyone discourage you!
