@@AwkwardIntelligence - I’m not…I found out that this stock model is really noisey….it’s fun to practice and play with, but if you want to sample into tracks, you might want to spend a little more and get something better. You can upgrade this table, but it can be expensive to upgrade
@@MyDeadFriendz Thanks so much for getting back to me man, that's very helpful you probably just saved me a year. Do you have any suggestions for a model that'd be a step up? Thanks again from Bangkok
Thanks for the video bro I picked one of these up today never scratched before I’m also waiting for my yo cuts vinyl to turn up in the post but I been trying to practice on the only vinyl I have “dizzee Rascel flex” struggling with it though I think it’s because to much is going on, on the record thanks for the video gives me hope lol
Great tutorial, dude! My advise is to make a wrist rubber band mode to avoid that annoying hum when platter stopped by hand. I had same problem. Easy to fix. Cheep but really helpful.
@@TheKitComplete should check the belt itself. Maybe it is too stretched. The humming sound in your video appeares when belt slips around platter. After mode have been done two rubber surfaces (belt and rubber band) receive perfect connection, thus torq from motor spindle to platter goes without any leak. That's the idea. For me it works perfectly. Of course all should be installed properly. Good luck!
Олег Коваленко yeah this was ages ago so the belt was almost new. And after I took off the wrist band it worked perfectly. The only thing I can think of is it must have been the shape or the placement of the wrist band. Anyways, cheers bro
There are cases you want the needle to "jump" to get specific sound,but guys in case you wonder the needle ain't jumping the way you want.The ring is kind of needed, it's not impossible to scratch without, it's actually quite possible.
Wow love this video even for ur first time im in love watching this.. im getting into the portable world & was looking for recommendations on mods but also the fact u taught how it works and play is awesome. I can't wait to get this as my christmas gift im itching to scratch another great thing is my weakness is left hand this will help me improve , two it will force me to left so is needed.
Thank you! Using the PT01 with DVS software isn't very simple to set up. It can requires some extra hardware that I don't have. If I ever find a good solution I will definitely make a video about it
It is definitely a great upgrade. For me the fader is just so much more natural than the switch. It's not completely necessary but if you like the pt01 it's an upgrade you certainly make at some point
Thanks heaps! Yeah they are not exactly cheap but if you consider something like guitar strings cost about the same and they break all the time. But a record will last for many years before you’ll notice any wear. Also there are many records for under $20 and sales on a few times a year.
You can also go for a second handed record that might have a sentence before the song begins that you can scratch on,but that's quite rare in 7 inch vinyls.
Kit Complete yeah it def was a reverse polarities gig I was there with a few boys from Campbelltown I’ve know Damon since I was a teen from the area I remember meeting you I think on the way to Hibernian house for the after party damn Sydney has changed since back then
@@timmo1714 Yeah totally! I kind of missed a lot of it because it's changed so much since I moved. I've got hope that Sydney will rebuild it's culture after all of this
Yeah the Omni looks amazing. It's quite a bit more expensive than the pt01 though. For anyone who wants to start scratching I would def still recommend the pt01 or the reloop spin. The Omni is more for experienced portablists, it's def some next level stuff.
Hey thank you! Yeah the beat I'm scratching over is a beat I made, coming from my computer. If you are looking for beats to scratch over I would highly recommend the app TableBeats. It's free and gives you access to thousands of looped beats by, great for scratching. I even have some of my own beats on there :)
Hello! Do you still think this is the best option for someone who wants to lay down basic scratching over some metal tracks ? I’m gonna record straight into my audio interface
Hey, I think the best option at the moment might be the Stanton STX. The Reloop Spin might also be a good option, but not as good as the Stanton. The Numark pt01 is very capable but really requires a few modifications to get to the level of the other options I mentioned. Hope that helps :)
@@TheKitComplete hmmm when im scratching sometimes the needle is jumping on other groove how can i avoid that and do you have some more scratch tutorial because your tutorial is very clear and helpful thanks !
Hey, this is a fairly common problem with a few solutions. Firstly you can add a platter stabilizer or upgrade the whole platter. Less platter wobble helps a lot. If you need you can add some weight to the needle like a penny or something. Also when you are just starting there is a tendency to be very heavy handed. With time you’ll learn a lighter touch. Also look into getting skipless records.
Hey man i got a question. Im interested in buying the pt01 Scratch but i need to know if you can record your scratches in something like fl studios. Do you know if this is possible? Thanks in advance, cool vid
@@florisvanderwolf5827 you are able to record your scratches, or even your samples from different vynils! you can connect it trough usb cable or RCA (Y)
Bro I have felt that way many times. I can only say stick with it hey. I have found for most people learning the basics of scratching is far easier than most instruments so I'm sure in a little time you'll learn enough to just have fun with it. The turntablist/portablist community is heaps supportive so remember to reach out whenever you need
I have this device and I listen to recordings with it. However, I cannot record these recordings with the original bass quality. I do not have any sound card. is there any way to do this?
There are some options for right handed scratchers but non of them a very elegant. Your best option would just be looking into the Reloop Spin or the Stanton DJ STX. Both of these turntables allow you to move the fader to the other side of the unit. Hope that helps
Thanks! So a lot of 7 inch records are 45rpm but because these are made for scratching they are actually 33rpm. And yeah you can buy them from the links in the description. Cheers!
This was so awesome thanks so much for this. I seen another review where you can connect your iPod/iPhone can you also scratch that music in you phone?
I got mine here but they've been out of stock for ages bihari.bigcartel.com/product/platter-upgrade-kit-for-pt01-scratch . But portablismgear seem to have them portablismgear.com/platter-stabilizer-ring-for-numark-pt01-scratch.html and Jesse Dean has their version jessedeancustoms.com/products/puck-it-platter-support
Hey thanks! The fader is pretty great straight out of the box but removing the capacitor definitely improves the cut. If you wanted to get the fader I'd say try it out without removing the capacitor first and see what you think. Also in case you haven't seen it, Swiftstyle has a really good installation video ruclips.net/video/CIW95dmwIcI/видео.html
I want to up date my fader on my numark pt01, please any suggestions on what to get and how to install. Please and thank you. I'm into hip-hop alot if that helps w needle choice or anything. Thanks everyone.
So I have the old JDD fader, I made a short video with it ruclips.net/video/sj4zF5bI7uc/видео.html and here is an installation guide ruclips.net/video/CIW95dmwIcI/видео.html This is the only pt01 I've used but as far as I can tell all of the compatible options seem good
Are there royalty free 7 inch battle records? I am thinking about getting into scratching because I would like to use it in my music, but I also want to make sure I can put my music out on Spotify without having copyright issues. Awesome video by the way!
There are but as far as I know they are not very common and it is sometimes hard to find out which records are royalty free. Scratching has been in a grey area for some time now. It is incredibly unlikely for your music to get flagged on a streaming service when using battle records, I have never heard of it happening. That said it is technically possible for music to get flagged. Hope that's helpful :)
Hi I want to get me this turntable have unfortunately not seen so many tutorials. Could you recommend the turntable? And can you also listen to normal vinyl bsp. to take away in the record store ? Lg
Hi, yeah I would definitely recommend this turntable. An alternative you might want to look at is the Reloop Spin. And yes you can listen to regular vinyl on both of these turntables
You can play 33 and 45. But I think you are probably asking about 12 inch records? You can definitely play them but scratching with them s extremely difficult
Hi Kit, I just got mine pt01, and I am wondering if it is normal that I got sound with my tonearm even when I turn off the audio button, thank you very much for the reply
Hey, yeah it's perfectly normal to hear the sound of the record even with the power off. It's just the vibrations from the record reverberating through the turntable
do you have a link for the same vinyl stabilizer you used and diamond needle? im a totally completely new beginner who got introduced to this literally 5 minutes ago and I want to learn a new hobby. my friend told me to stick with the stock fader on this unit for now, but he definitely said to ask you where to get the same stabilizer and diamond needle. anything helps to get me started!
Hey, so the stabilizer is from Bihari Designs bihari.bigcartel.com/product/platter-upgrade-kit-for-pt01-scratch There are a couple of people who make them and I think they are all pretty much the same. The needle I just got off Amazon amzn.to/3jkYl4W And yeah the scratch switch is actually pretty decent, especially for getting started. When you want to upgrade I can recommend the Jesse Dean Designs fader, but again there are a few people who make them and they all seem pretty good.
Would you say the pt01 is a good buy, even though you need to upgrade almost every feature it has? I’m just starting out and a wondering if it’s worth getting into, or maybe it’s better to start at a higher level of a turntable…
It is a bit of a tricky question. In short I would say yes it's worth it. Even with all of the upgrades it is still a very cheap way of getting into scratching, possibly the cheapest. One thing to keep in mind when you're looking at full sized turntables is that for scratching you don't want to go with the cheapest model, especially avoid anything that is belt driven. You'll want to look at direct drive turntables. Plus you'll have to get your own mixer which adds to the cost. Depending where you are you might find a good deal on second hand goods. There are definitely pros and cons either way you go. For me going portable was the best option as I don't have the room for a permanent setup so being able to quickly and easily move/setup/pack away was a big factor in my choice. Hope that all helps
If I use this with my normal records, will the stylus spoil them? (Assuming the cartridge and stylus is similar to the crosleys) - my main purpose is to learn how to scratch but just wanted to make sure
Yeah the stylus is just like the crosleys (or most other portable turntables). Just plastic. I don't think it will damage your records but the sound quality isn't very good. You can upgrade the stylus though. This is what I use amzn.to/3jkYl4W
@@TheKitComplete Yo, can you scratch with this using a 12'' record, or only with the 7'' record ? is the 12'' only for playing music ? I'd like to use some 12'' scratch records but it always looks like people only are scratching using the 7''....
No problem :) So the fader I use is from Jesse Dean Designs (jessedeancustoms.com/collections/portable-turntable-fader/products/jddx2rs-a-contactless-fader-for-numark-pt01-scratch)
@@TheKitComplete ok ok, i am new to beat machines/loop machines but i like it and want to get into it and i was wondering if i should get a standalone or software dependent machine. Can u shed some light on this thought pattern please and thanks
Hmmm both have there pro’s and con’s. For me, I started on software. I’m more comfortable with the workflow, file management etc. So when it came to picking between Maschine or a standalone equivalent I went with Maschine. But there is something about standalone hardware that is appealing. In the end it just comes down to what you feel most comfortable with, what you can afford, and what you think will be the most fun. Hope that helps
You are the man! I wish i had a picture to show you this setup but I did manage to use a guitar cable hooked from the turntable to my audio interface, but behold it worked! I can use the switch and record into my laptop! Thanks !!
Yeah this is the original JD fader so just regular. And I did remove the capacitor. I can't actually remember if I tried using the fader with the capacitor still in place so I can't say if it made much difference but I did it because Swiftstyle recommended it
The Kit Complete good to know. Thx man. I stupidly bought a DDJ-800 and Pioneer table and some Rekordbox vinyl today (for DVS) when I should have just gone this route haha. I think I am going to return it and spend $275 on your setup.
That’s a big purchase for sure. I don’t know if it was stupid but the pt01 is def cheaper. If you want something digital you could also look at the sc1000/500 portablismgear.com/sc1000.html
I think this is the one I used www.amazon.ca/Improved-turntable-PT01USB-ICT09RS-CZ-800-10/dp/B01JJ73BGY You can get cheaper ceramic ones but I would recommend getting a diamond one.
goddamn zordan why is the fader on the right side? I dunno man, just a design choice. You should have a look at the Reloop Spin. You can put the fader on either side

Thanks! Oh that is the Zoom H1N. It’s a little audio recorder I used to record my voice
Hi I want to get me this turntable have unfortunately not seen so many tutorials. Could you recommend the turntable? And can you also listen to normal vinyl bsp. to take away in the record store ? Lg
Hi, yeah I would definitely recommend this turntable. An alternative you might want to look at is the Reloop Spin. And yes you can listen to regular vinyl on both of these turntables
where is the version for left handed djs ?? :(
Check out the Reloop Spin
Seems cool, but can you use 33 also
You can play 33 and 45. But I think you are probably asking about 12 inch records? You can definitely play them but scratching with them s extremely difficult
Can you play an audio acapella from your phone and scratch it on a blank vinyl with this?
Sicarius Angelus no you’ll need to look at a DVS or controller for that sort of thing
Where did you get the new fader from and the new platter?? Thanks
So the fader is from jessedeancustoms.com/ and the platter stabilizer is from bihari.bigcartel.com/product/platter-upgrade-kit-for-pt01-scratch
@@TheKitComplete thank you so much.
Hi Kit, I just got mine pt01, and I am wondering if it is normal that I got sound with my tonearm even when I turn off the audio button, thank you very much for the reply
Hey, yeah it's perfectly normal to hear the sound of the record even with the power off. It's just the vibrations from the record reverberating through the turntable
so does the table have a line input?
Yeah it has a 3.5mm input so you can play beats through it
do you have a link for the same vinyl stabilizer you used and diamond needle? im a totally completely new beginner who got introduced to this literally 5 minutes ago and I want to learn a new hobby. my friend told me to stick with the stock fader on this unit for now, but he definitely said to ask you where to get the same stabilizer and diamond needle. anything helps to get me started!
Hey, so the stabilizer is from Bihari Designs bihari.bigcartel.com/product/platter-upgrade-kit-for-pt01-scratch
There are a couple of people who make them and I think they are all pretty much the same.
The needle I just got off Amazon amzn.to/3jkYl4W
And yeah the scratch switch is actually pretty decent, especially for getting started. When you want to upgrade I can recommend the Jesse Dean Designs fader, but again there are a few people who make them and they all seem pretty good.
Would you say the pt01 is a good buy, even though you need to upgrade almost every feature it has? I’m just starting out and a wondering if it’s worth getting into, or maybe it’s better to start at a higher level of a turntable…
It is a bit of a tricky question. In short I would say yes it's worth it. Even with all of the upgrades it is still a very cheap way of getting into scratching, possibly the cheapest. One thing to keep in mind when you're looking at full sized turntables is that for scratching you don't want to go with the cheapest model, especially avoid anything that is belt driven. You'll want to look at direct drive turntables. Plus you'll have to get your own mixer which adds to the cost. Depending where you are you might find a good deal on second hand goods. There are definitely pros and cons either way you go. For me going portable was the best option as I don't have the room for a permanent setup so being able to quickly and easily move/setup/pack away was a big factor in my choice. Hope that all helps
Good video. Where did you find the platters and the switch
Thanks man! So the fader comes from jessedeancustoms.com/shop/ and the platter stabilizer comes from bihari.bigcartel.com/
How do you replace the fader ?
Check out this video ruclips.net/video/CIW95dmwIcI/видео.html
With the new JDD fader I don't think you have to remove the capacitor anymore
If I use this with my normal records, will the stylus spoil them? (Assuming the cartridge and stylus is similar to the crosleys) - my main purpose is to learn how to scratch but just wanted to make sure
Yeah the stylus is just like the crosleys (or most other portable turntables). Just plastic. I don't think it will damage your records but the sound quality isn't very good. You can upgrade the stylus though. This is what I use amzn.to/3jkYl4W
Sir i need this cross fider
How do we do to change the crossfader ?
It depends which cross fader you want but they are all very easy to install
✌🏼
🙏
@@TheKitComplete Yo, can you scratch with this using a 12'' record, or only with the 7'' record ? is the 12'' only for playing music ? I'd like to use some 12'' scratch records but it always looks like people only are scratching using the 7''....
I brought numark pT01 but it's has normal cross fider
No problem :) So the fader I use is from Jesse Dean Designs (jessedeancustoms.com/collections/portable-turntable-fader/products/jddx2rs-a-contactless-fader-for-numark-pt01-scratch)
@@TheKitComplete thanks how much Indian money sir
Sick
Cheers!
sweet vid bro
Cheers bro!
@@TheKitComplete do u also have a standalone pad machine or is it only the mk3 u primarily use?
@@junioryearwood687 Yeah just the mk3. I use my iPad sometimes with Beatmaker 3 but that's about it
@@TheKitComplete ok ok, i am new to beat machines/loop machines but i like it and want to get into it and i was wondering if i should get a standalone or software dependent machine. Can u shed some light on this thought pattern please and thanks
Hmmm both have there pro’s and con’s. For me, I started on software. I’m more comfortable with the workflow, file management etc. So when it came to picking between Maschine or a standalone equivalent I went with Maschine. But there is something about standalone hardware that is appealing. In the end it just comes down to what you feel most comfortable with, what you can afford, and what you think will be the most fun. Hope that helps
just got my fader whenever I cut out I get a popping noise when bring it to the side to cut out if anyone knows how to solve this problem
Which fader did you get? You might want to contact the manufacturer
@@TheKitComplete got the Jesse Dean contactless
why does the scratch switch not work when im connected USB??!
It's just the way the turntable is set up I'm afraid. The USB output bypasses the scratch switch
How do I record my scratches into my computer using the scratch switch? Or any way to record them ?
@@hudsonconner3279 You'll need to use the audio out of the PT01 and record into some kind of audio interface
You are the man! I wish i had a picture to show you this setup but I did manage to use a guitar cable hooked from the turntable to my audio interface, but behold it worked! I can use the switch and record into my laptop! Thanks !!
@@hudsonconner3279 Awesome! Glad you got it sorted
Thank you very much! What's the volume of that Yo Cuts?
Cheers man! It's actually the Practice Yo Cuts/Serato collab release so it's samples on one side and Serato timecode on the other
@@TheKitComplete thank you. I just got my Numark and now I'm looking for some cuts :)
@PBBBeats Nice! Hope you have fun with it and lemme know if you have any questions
@@TheKitComplete thank you very much!
@@TheKitComplete are you from Europe?
Dope! But is it just me or is there a kid in the background that really can hold a note?
😂
thank so much YEA
Thanks man!
Hey bro did you remove the capacitor as others suggested, with the JD fader? Also is this the Contactless one or the regular? Looks regular. Thanks!
Yeah this is the original JD fader so just regular. And I did remove the capacitor. I can't actually remember if I tried using the fader with the capacitor still in place so I can't say if it made much difference but I did it because Swiftstyle recommended it
@@TheKitComplete Thx! How did you remove it? Solder? Tweezers? Such little info out there overall haha.
@@DopamineOverload I just used a pair of scissors. I was pretty nervous about it but it's actually a lot easier than it seems
The Kit Complete good to know. Thx man. I stupidly bought a DDJ-800 and Pioneer table and some Rekordbox vinyl today (for DVS) when I should have just gone this route haha. I think I am going to return it and spend $275 on your setup.
That’s a big purchase for sure. I don’t know if it was stupid but the pt01 is def cheaper. If you want something digital you could also look at the sc1000/500 portablismgear.com/sc1000.html
Hello I have a problem I order a record player but I can't find the right size of the record can someone text me what type of record is that?
It's a 7 inch scratch record. Just google that and you should find some
@@TheKitComplete thanks man I appreciate it
Im having sound issues with mine. Seems when im using the practice yo cuts record, you can BARELY hear it even at full volume
Is it just that record?
Thats the only record i have at the moment. When i plug my ipod up to it, its pretty loud, but the records always quiet.
@@AcousticSerenity Ok, well it is unlikey that it's the record. And if the iPod works it's not the speaker. Could the needle be damaged?
Didnt think about that actually. Do you know what to replace it with?
I think this is the one I used www.amazon.ca/Improved-turntable-PT01USB-ICT09RS-CZ-800-10/dp/B01JJ73BGY
You can get cheaper ceramic ones but I would recommend getting a diamond one.
Dope video! what's the beat used while scratching? thanks!
Thanks! It's one of my own beats
wht the hell is fader on the right side?
goddamn zordan why is the fader on the right side? I dunno man, just a design choice. You should have a look at the Reloop Spin. You can put the fader on either side
Does this connect straight into the mk3 without the need of an audio interface ?
Yeah it has line level outputs so you can connect it straight to the mk3
