Turntable Gemini
dj mixer question?
can a Gemini pmx 02 scratch??
cuz i have cd digtal turntables, it doesn’t scratch with those, but im wondering if a turntables will make it scratch?
“No, the best decks or turntables you can buy are Numark”
ROTFLOL
I would love Numark’s products, because they have some great stuff nobody else has. (Like the HDX having a hard drive.) But Numark has major reliability issues. I’ve been burned by Numark too many times to ever spend any more money on high end Numark products until they raise their quality standards.
Yes you can scratch with the Gemini PMX 02 mixer, but you’ll be constantly replacing the cross fader because it’s a very low quality mixer.
Yes scratching is from the phonograph turntable, or CD turntable. The mixer is used in conjugation with the turntable when scratching.
YouTube has a lot of videos on scratching.

Pioneer DJM800 mixer
Cheap equipment like Gemini, Gemsound & Behringer have no resale value & breaks easily. Buy good equipment & it not only will last you a long time, but if you sell it you’ll get a lot of your money back.
The industry standards are basically;
Phonograph Turntables – Technics 1200 & 1210 series
Stanton ST-150 & STR8-150
CD Players – Pioneer CDJ 800 & CDJ 1000
Denon DN-S5000
Scratch Mixers – Pioneer DJM 800 & DJM-909
Rane Empath
But those are probably out of your price range. These are your cheapest options. Anything cheaper is throwing your money away.
