12" Serato Control Vinyl - Standard Colors - Black (PAIR)

These control vinyls work great on my Technics 1200s turntables combined with Ortofon Concorde MKII Twin Mix DJ needles.One side of the control vinyls, side A,has larger grooves which allows the DJ to use a lighter touch. Whereas side B has denser grooves which require a heavier touch, but allows for larger sized music tracks to be played via Serato. Off the top of my head, maybe you can play 12 minute long tracks on side B, and 6 min long on side A - but don’t quote me on that lol.After about 11 months of use, and some tantrums, the vinyls have held up quite well. There’s some visible markings on the surface were, at times, I’ve harshly spun the vinyls back after a dodgy transition. I know, I know, it’s childish of me, but sometimes I can’t hold in my frustration, when 50mins into a perfect mix, I drop a couple of clangers at the end of a scheduled 60min set.Anyway, even with these visible, but obviously superficial markings. It doesn’t affect the playback, or cause the needle to skip. So, all in all, these are great value for money, considering the price, and really hold up well even after a enduring a couple of bratty, middle aged man tantrums lol.

Brought these as I found the ones I received from pioneer were a little heavy, best decision I’ve made these offer so much better control would definitely recommend

I have been burned before (twice) with serato control vinyl - in fact I’ve been using the same records for over 4 years because the last two new sets I bought were defective - holes off centre or warped on arrival. I also sent one of these sets back to Rane for a replacement, and the replacements they sent were also defective...,This put me off buying any more control vinyl for a very long time!However, my old records had got so worn out that they were starting to cause artifacts in the audio and drift slightly, to the point I had no choice but to replace them.I was so wary of previous experience that I bought three new sets this time - the red, the blue, and the black colours - hoping that one set would be free if defects, and I would return any which weren’t.To my joy and relief, all three sets are pretty much bang on! On one of the red vinyls the hole is very very slightly off centre, but it’s not enough to affect playback or tracking when scratching. The other five vinyls seem pretty much perfect after my initial spin - they track perfectly and there is no warping.If you’ve had bad experiences like me in the past, be assured that the manufacturing problems that used to plague these records seem to have been rectified!

nice and clean well happy and look good with the rockets from wat i have watched on you tube i no they gonna be perfect for mixing when get them set up happy days

Generally ok but I found the A sides do not slip as well as the B sides. Not good when scratching. This could be on just the copies I have but it would seem they are not well balanced or could be slightly warped as both sides should slip equally

It give you endless vinyl, easy to set up and go

Bought these as blue ones I had drifted like mad. These seem much better weirdly.
