Got one of these units today. I like it. It does what it's meant to. So all good there. One complaint though would be the sound on that built-in speaker. Even at full volume it's very tiny indeed.
It’s not the speakers when you do headphones it’s the vibration from the vinyl since it has small grooves it makes vibration from sound waves which you hear
Please how can i hook up my tape player to convert all my tapes using my Numark Pt-01...please I'm going crazy I have all mt=y tapes from when i battle rapped in the 90's i would love to put on Cd or at least upload on youtube..but i need to know how to hook my tape deck up so i can do so please help me out ???
Get a 3.5mm Male to Male Audio Cable. Plug one end into the tape deck output and the other end into your laptop mic input. Use whatever software you like and record. I like using Acid Pro because you can cut the tracks up.
May i ask u please to tell me how to get rid of the hum when the platter spins? I bought three Numark PT 01 USB from different sellers and the three have the same problem. My technician doesn t know how to get rid of it, even tho he fixed very well the unsteady speed of two of them. The third one I bought today has the same problems: The noise when the platter spins, and the unsteady speed. Is it just a coincidence?
If you're archiving for sampling you have a lot of options. How you get the audio into your DAW depends the cables you have, how fast your computer is and whether or not you want to sit around while your computer records in real time. I'm picking up a used PT01 today. I'm gonna test the quality of the USB rip (I don't trust it), test it straight into Logic and/or ProTools via an audio interface, then try into a Zoom H4n. The last option seems like the best balance of audio quality & my time.
It's a cheap ceramic pickup, saphire tip, sometimes plastic cantilever, definitive not elliptical. The same pickup is used in these Crosley or other "retro" players and the Vestax Handytrax.
I have an audio interface and can sample from this turntable straight into maschine. but if you don't have one ripping the audio to audacity first is your best option
So you can connect the turntable directly to the interface? What are your thoughts on using the audacity method vs. interface method? Any difference in sound quality?
Yeah but does this Numark have a diamond stylus cause it looks like the same needle that's on the ATROCIOUS Crosley turntables and those needles will chew up the grooves in your records in no time!!
better with something older but better built. Some of the 70's portable ones are decent. To plug into your laptop get a behringer UCA202 or similar model sound unit. Look cheap and plastiky. How the hell can you mix with these...lol Speakers not very loud either.
Here we go again.......AGE DOES NOT MAKE A BETTER TURNTABLE! IT'S A NUMARK HE HAS, NOT A CROSLEY OR AN EVEN CHEAPER BRAND, N U M A R K! DJ'S ACTUALLY USE THESE WHEN CRATE DIGGING!
