Hello,
I have a Virtual DJ Pro software since about 20 years and I added an American Audio VMS4 controller since about 10 years. I was a professional dj performing in clubs from 1980 to 1996. I was spinning vinyls on 2 Technics SL -1200 MKii for the bulk of my carrier. I also spun vinyls on Technics SL-1100, SL-1500 and SL-1800 and also on Denon DP-30L turntables. I have over 600 club vinyls that haven't been used in over 10 years because I no longer had turntables. I want to restart using them. I want 2 turntables that can run physical vinyls (25% of the time) but that I can also use to control mp3s (75%) via a dj software. I do not perform any scratching, just cueing, looping and standard beat to beat mixing.
Question 1: I believe that normal rca connected turntables can run with a DJ software in I believe time-coded mode. Is this correct? Or do I need a connector that plugs on USB?
Question 2: If I start from scratch and want to build a whole new dj set-up, what would be the best combo (mixer + 2 turntables) with a budget of 2500$CAD or 2000$USD ? On the mixer, I would like the capability to run with either rca and XLR output plugs, and mic capability (used 2% of the time, only in a couple of parties per year).
Thank you for your time.
