I need a few hints, pointers and fun facts, I think. I can line up two songs that have a small difference in how much faster/slower they are, but as the difference increases, I get more and more trouble... are there any tricks if the difference is so large that the pitch won't reach far enough for them to match? I have trouble finding out if an acapella match with the beat i'm matching it with sometimes... also, just general pointers for mixing and stuff.. dj-ish stuff.. you know... or maybe you don't, but then you can just post nonsense instead... |

you don´t mix with vinyl do you? |

I find it best to just avoid tracks that are a few percent off. But with larger differences I hit the 45rpm (or 33) button and cue up. ;) |

yes, I do... or.. halfway, since I haven't been able to afford the second turntable yet (got a tech 1210 mk2, and want another one.. but that means I restrict the pitch I can use on the comp to +/- 8%). |

A container of lighter fuel and a lighter, a steel bucket and a mask to avoid inhaling toxic fumes. |

hehe.. yeah, but that doesn't always work.. it becomes like "smurfehits," and then you're suddenly "the funny dj!" I have no intentions of dj'ing out (yet), though, so this is just for my own amusement (and vorspiel/preparty-entertainment). |

You could hack your turnable's pitch and get somthing around +/-16 out of it, but considering the newness of your SL I wouldn't recommend it just yet. There are some DIY articles around the net somewhere for you to read. It's quite easy, I tried it once while I was calibrating the pitch of my 2nd hand SL1200. |

yeah i mean dont mess with stuff that's too far apart like vlari said. . . but you could find yourself a little bpm program on the internets to figure out how far off you are for the stuff that's really far off. a little tapper that you click your mouse too and it'll calculate bpm for you if you're stuck. works like a charm for me. |

doesn´t that fuck up the music real bad? |

Well, I didn't have the setting long enough to hear any difference, actually I set it back to normal just minutes after testing it. Didn't want to wreck my turntable. I guess with a +/-16 setting you are prone to get a less accurate or stablespeed on the platter, considering it's not meant to go that far. The article I read about this hack said that many goa-trance djs did this, but they are so drugged up that they can't be trusted :) |

yeah, I don't think I'll mess with the hardware.. however, the ARE techs with 16% pitch.. the mk5g or whatever... I've been thinking of getting that, but that means more saving, and on a student-loan with rent to pay, it's harder than on civil-duty money without rent to pay... any other tips? if I want to mix stuff.. (drums from one song, bass/lead from another?)? my mixer has only got 2eq's (vestax pmc 05 pro), so I guess it won't be too easy, but maybe there are some tricks? |
