When It Come's to Sampling, does yo Gear ReaLLy matter?

I have this OLD a$$ OG turntable that i been using.. nothin major, belt driven at that... but uh recently picked up this SOLID a$$ sony one at a goodwill and that one compared to mine's is straight butter... jus has a more solid feel and the needle and play seems slightly better..


is it worth it for me to switch them out and use the sony one as my sampling turntable which i sample into my mpc 1000 or do it EVEN really matter?

also some kat dropped me a line and gave me his Numark DM950 mixer and I been readin on here how people run ish thru the mix? before they sample? what do that mean?


I also own a Behringer Eurorack UB1202 which I have connected like this.. turntable to pioneer reciever which then goes to the euromix i mean rack... and then from the ub1202 down to my mpc 1000

AM I MISSING SOMETHING?

should i somehow be using this dj mixer in the "mix" as well or what yall?

please do clear up this cloud for me..

stay up and praise due for any and ALL knowledge droppeD...


oNe

i would do it like this

turntable>dj mixer>mpc>rack (i'm not sure how this rack works or what it does ,but it's better you run the TT thru the mixer so you can EQ the sound before you sample, makes for a meater sample sometimes,)

or if you want you can sample from the output of the rack,that way you can sample with effects if you like.
like i said not sure how this rack works but this is just my opinion

good luck




and this should have been posted in the production techniques not the crate diggers forums!!!

I wouldn't change your TT's cause that shit don't matter for what your using it for. Just sample from the TT you have now it's fine. I sample from a old ass Numark TT 1910 the whole platters moves and the tone arm moves when I scratch it's a piece but it still works fine.
