I dont understand the concept of this. I meean what is this special smartphone device? is it inside the paper turntable or the vinyl? Is it a kind of streaming device build in there that stream the mp3 to the phone?

clever marketing gag tho (from the esthetic point of view)


@ fobe: don't worry you won't find someone with a useless paperturntable at a diggin spot. Do you belive the phone "reads" the vinyl?? :lol:
peace

yeah, this is obviously just a gimmick and not something that actually plays the record. it appears it just streams the digital version of the album when in proximity of the actual record or something... woopty-doo. :lol:

While the source of the music is all digital, the controls mimic those of an actual turntable

breaks are pretty easy to visually find, if a song breaks, it looks very similar to a break between songs.

I know a lot of folks are new to the whole digging phenomenon and I can understand that you want to gain insight on how to go about it but you guys are killing the market? Now I suppose you want to know why I say that lol.. well I will tell you.. "YOU ARE DRIVING UP THE PRICES"! I get that we are in the digital age and really there are not to many mysteries as far as records go. Its just that someone hasn't used it yet and when they do catts will be trying to copp it for themselves "if the sample is dope" I get it.. but as far as taking a portable turntable into record shop... why then that's the dead giveaway for these guys to raise the prices based on what they see you with!. :WTF: Gone are the days when we used to hit spots and the owner's didn't know what they had.. ahh! them were the days but you can still get lucky because in most cases because only you know what it is you're looking for...We all have a pair of ears that hear things differently (just pick your favorite producer and see if you would have chopped or sampled the beat in the same way! probably not unless it was blatant hahaha) Most shops these days have a listening station set up if you're not sure about what you are buying.. but who has time for that anyway? You have to do your homework before you go digging so that way you don't have to ask questions thus "DRIVING THE PRICES UP".. that whole portable record thing was a cool before the net caught up now all you are managing to do is draw attention to yourself (and that's not making you look cool on some look at me I'm a beat digger ish). In other words just buy them and try them at home.. its all part of the game! and if you crap out Well then now your learning something :nod:

Peace all sorry for being long winded but I just wanted to serve up a little understanding. Digging for beats in real time is fun no doubt! but like anything else in order to be good at it you have to apply yourself to it! and in this day and age with the various websites and blogs to help you it can take the "getting dusty experience" out of what should be an "educational experience" as well!.. Remember that all the Guy's you admire in most cases use to dig at some point.. However back then you really had to work harder at finding the records as well as using them.. For those that don't know there wasn't always MPCs and Sp1200s !So digging is a very important aspect of hiphop and will always continue to be. I mean I have a house full of records and yet I'm going digging in the morning!..Why? because not only does it keep me out of trouble but it helps pay the bills and you never know where your next inspiration is going to come from or sound like ahh me lads we can talk all day lol but I will wager you this "no one has ever died while digging for records but a whole lot sure have gotten rich"!)!... :hmmm:
