Raiden is known for making crossfaders for portable turntables. However, the company has introduced a portable mixer, the RPM-100. Mojaxx takes a look at it on this week’s Tips and Tricks.
Turntablist practice app TableBeats has released version 3.0 of their scratch looper program. The free iOS app includes over 3,000 loops from hundreds of producers, with new content added regularly. Features of TableBeats 3.0 include pitch adjustment, shuffle mode, and more.
On this episode of DJcityTV’s Tips and Tricks, Mojaxx talks about why he thinks the TableBeats app is the biggest bargain in turntablism.
DJ Tech’s Handy Kutz isn’t a traditional DJ mixer; it’s a tool for turntablists with portablists in mind.
A two-channel device, the Handy Kutz is equipped with a mini Innofader Pro and internal battery for true on-the-go use.
