[@kensu0]

[@djBlindFaith]

Good to see the Vestax Handytrax make a come back... well played Reloop 👍

[@digitaldjtips]

Yes, very similar right?

[@djBlindFaith]

Digital DJ Tips they somehow got a hold of the moulds and designs for it. 👍

[@XiXiVi]

What cord did you use to connect the speaker with the turntable? Both charge and audio.

[@Scott-xs7sk]

Very helpful and thorough thank you!

[@digitaldjtips]

Glad this helped, Scott.

[@jâkòmõ0ō]

Does the Reloop SPIN have a soundcard, wich I can use for dvs?

[@lukassteffensen1866]

Can you check out The sc500 from portabellism

[@JeremyDahl]

Can't wait to see the aftermarket upgrades for this, like it's competitor

[@digitaldjtips]

Yeah agreed!

[@chadharrod5246]

Jesse Dean fader is a MUST. I am in love with the cutoff control and over all performance of this upgrade. I have a somewhat long throw and dont think the PT01 would have been a good move. Best fader I've laid my hands on FULL STOP.

[@FuntClaps101]

Once you have recorded to a USB, can you then transfer that audio file to say an iMac to use in a DAW?

[@digitaldjtips]

Sure, why not?

[@djte4594]

How about hamster mode? Can I turn crossfader about 180 degrees?

[@digitaldjtips]

Yes you can

[@thehunterofdeath2180]

Can't wait to buy me one I'm a scratch DJ since 89s I be DJ I want to get into portarblist Free style just to chill my practice more n more I got the vestax handy Trax is cool I could listen to my classing when I hook it up with my boom box radio but I want to buy a reloop so I could put a innofader on it the vestax is not bad once I put a diamond needle stylus it play LP record really good not like those cheap portable turntable out there that they skip even if the record is new that not good cuz is not tracking the record right at all the handy Trax track pretty good for a portable turntable I use it when I go buy records too oh when I go camping I hook it up with my old boom box that sound loud they don't make boom box like that anymore I got my personal collection n my turntablist collection just to practice oh do my routine I love to listen to LP record I just like the sound of record lp I don't like streaming is boring I like to put the record n is the music I like I got more than 3,000 record besides this portable stuff i got my technic turntable n vestax n a lots of mixer as collection too is cool to scratch with this portable turntable oh just to listing to a album 😂😂

[@EarnestMazique]

Thanks for this, Steve! How is the wow and flutter on this turntable? Would you say it's better or worse than the Numark PT-01 scratch?

[@Dj_rueboi]

Earnest Mazique Interested in knowing that answer as well

[@digitaldjtips]

I'd say it's about the same, the construction of the turntable parts is very similar

[@chadharrod5246]

The only thing you can't really perform with this are the super long tears, for obvious reasons. I actually like the fact that it's not as base heavy as the 12's . This forced me to regulate my touch effectively and has increased my speed significantly. Movements are made much closer to the middle of the platter and by the laws of physics MUCH more efficient.

[@cyruszaire6473]

I know I'm kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good website to watch new series online ?

[@elibenedict4776]

@Cyrus Zaire Meh lately I have been using flixportal. You can find it thru google:P -eli

[@wfd760]

Can you scratch on a 12” on this?

[@digitaldjtips]

No, only 7"

[@mrspock3889]

I want to start learning how to scratch but I don't have the budget for a whole set mixer turntable this looks like a really good option for me you think I will able to learn scratching, some people saying that the Reloop spin and pt01 are toys and sure you can play and make some basic cuts but the motor is not powerful enough and you will not get good torque and won't able to learn all the scratching techniques, what do you think should I really skip and wait till iI will have the money for a decent turntable or it will be good as the first learning Turntable, Originally I planed to buy reloop RP-2000 M but to store owner told me that it's good for DJ but not for the scratching not enough torque. but I really want to get into scratching, so what about the reloop spin It's cheap but originally it was made for scratching so, maybe the RP-2000 will be better for scratching even do it's not strong enough if my two option are SPIN or RP-2000 M?

[@digitaldjtips]

I'd go for the SPIN, it's awesome - portable, more than good enough for scratching :)

[@Stoney-Jacksman]

go for an audtio technica at1200 and a basic mixer. needels are important..and you will probably be good. try to find things secondhand.

[@marcindwulat]

How to solve the problem of the low volume of the aux signal and the inability to adjust the volume of vinyl. Using different sources (BT, line) you can hear the beat a little and the disc a few times louder and this is a big problem. I have had Reloop Spin for a week and it prevents me from comfortable use because I can't hear the beat, the disc is too loud and there is no way to adjust it. Please help.

[@digitaldjtips]

The Aux signal is dependent upon what you use to supply that signal, is there no way you can turn the input source up any louder?

[@lustforlow-end6022]

This is belt-driven? When I started DJing I was told to avoid belt-driven decks but this seems to be fine re skipping needles!

[@digitaldjtips]

It is indeed!

[@chadharrod5246]

I started scratching in the late 90's and have owned many pairs of original 12's mk2 1210's. I absolutely agree there is nothing like a direct drive system. That being said, I have moved around quite a bit including moving to London from the states 2 years ago. Liquidating your studio / vinyl / belongings is bittersweet. A few months ago i started to dink around with Reaper again and realized how much I missed being creative. With space at such a premium over here compared to the states, the reloop made total sense. . Absolutely no problem with skating or torque. If I'm being honest, its actually a bit over torqued even with waxpaper / butter rugs. 7 inch vinyl requires A LOT less uumph to move the platter and i rarely turn the 20 percent pitch up past 1/4 @ 33.33. Buy with total confidence (bluetooth aux is the shiz) Dont forget to upgrade to JD fader though cause the included is shit (even as a secondary line fader). I got into the entire rig for around 250GBP. In my opinion the stock arm and stylus do not need to be upgraded in order to get started and even after 2 months of regular ( couple hours a day during lockdown) use, show no signs of being an issue.

[@heat4yoass]

Belt driven is no good. I don't care what type of gimmicks these turntables have. NEVER GET BELT DRIVEN. EVER. Always Direct Drive.

[@resp0nse_beats]

@@chadharrod5246 Nice break down!

[@brendanm6921]

@@heat4yoass you say that and yet there are plenty of people proving that you can clearly do some impressive stuff with these little portable set ups.

[@stanandes7693]

does it good playing a 12 inch vinyl on this? just for a playback. like if I don’t wanna do much of scratch and just wanted to listen to my vinyl. thanks

[@digitaldjtips]

It can play 12" as well but it wouldn't be my first option (especially for the price) if I was just buying for listening purposes :)

[@stanandes7693]

Digital DJ Tips thank you. i’m planning to buy one. I wanna learn to scratch and wanna play my 12” on it.

[@paulhin287]

What brand of battery are those green ones

[@digitaldjtips]

Li-Ion 18650

[@paulhin287]

Digital DJ Tips does it matter if the batteries are flat top or top tip

[@digitaldjtips]

Good question, unsure - Reloop doesn't specify on their site

[@woodywoodroyo]

Any update on which batteries to get? Mine didn’t come with any

[@lustforlow-end6022]

Pretty cool 😎 is there a hamster switch?

[@digitaldjtips]

There isn't a switch you need to unscrew the fader and flip it around

[@aarondavidson6060]

so powerful and so cute.wafff

[@digitaldjtips]

Yep!

[@djxcel23]

They have plenty of video out for this. Upgrade video also. This review is super late.

[@digitaldjtips]

Yep agreed, but we got there eventually :)

[@djxcel23]

Digital DJ Tips a comparison video between the reloop and the pt o1 is needed so people can decide which is a better purchase

[@digitaldjtips]

We'll see what we can do :)

[@powerplay8355]

How is nobody talking of the flaws with this product? There is a massive hum when plugged into USB mains adapter. The balance between aux and vinyl is unadjustable if the aux level is low. Wonder why there are upgrades for the tone arm and crossfader? The batteries are an extra cost including a charger for them. Awful product. I'm sending mine back, absolute rip off.

[@maccagrabme]

What did you get instead of?
