shadygroovedc Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 I only have two comments.1) The M3D is the best turntable ever. So why bother.2) If a DJ needs +-16% pitch control, that DJ is spinning the wrong genre of music. Sure, I guess it'd be interesting to mix in Frank Sinatra with Deep Dish, but I'd say be a man about it and take Frank into Sound Forge or ProTools and pitch shift it digitally so you don't ruin the key of the vocals and make Frank sound like Theodore Chipmunk.Sounds like they're just trying to create a market where there doesn't need to be one. But I guess that's why artists like Eminem are considered artists by the stupid people of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the Numark TTX's have a key lock to avoid making vocals sound like they're sung by chipmunks.Not sure about the MK5 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
