Picture Discs

[djfase]

Who finds picture discs awkward to mix with. I dont know about some of you but i sometimes use the grooves on the vinyl to see how many bars there before i mix in/out. On picture discs it is hard to do that.

Just wondering if anyone else has the same problem??

[DJ Corbzy]

I dont own a single picture disc, and I intend to keep it that way.

Theyre poorly pressed, look pretty tacky and as you said you can't see the grooves, which are very useful to be able to see.

[Carl]

Shouldn't pose to much of a problem, use your ears instead of your eyes :lol:

[djstride]

i agree, you cant see the grooves = bad

[K Front]

I dont see it as much of a problem, i do to start with but once you know the record its fine..

[sean.demaine]

Im not keen on them , altough i do have a couple the prob with the grooves is a bummer for the first few plays until you know the tune

but the thing that i hate most about them is the sound quality :cry:

if there is a choice then i def go for a standard vinyl !!!

Thats a fair comment, and the sound quality is poor, but i wouldnt not buy a tune on the sole reason it is on picture disc! If its the best track you have ever heard, are you not going to buy it because of this? I wouldnt miss out on wildstyle generation for this reason!

[DJ Corbzy]

I didnt like wildstyle.

I would try to find a white label copy of a tune on pic disc or a standard version. 8)

[Barely Human]

Gutted! Is that part 1 or part 2?

[K Front]

klasic and sanders mix!!

[DJ Corbzy]

that is gutted, thats the only good mix, dirty shit!!!

[Barely Human]

That is devestatingly gutting mate, i feel for ya! :D

[K Front]

I know, im not sure wether to get another one? The last one cost me a tenner, so that would be 20 quid for one track! But i suppose ill wish i did in a couple months when i cant get hold of it.

[Carl]

I had reformation on piccy disc, but I sold it one weekend so I had extra cash for The Country Club! What a tit! I hear its worth some serious wonga now :shock:

[Addict]

Really? How much do you reckon its worth? Your talking about the one with the SKULL on it right?

[Addict]

klasic and sanders mix!!
Nooooooooooooooooo!

[Carl]

YES MATE.The one with the skull on it.Stupidly fast track, fcuking near on impossible to mix with anything :lol:
I have been told its worth about 40-50 quid now, but I dont know if there is any truth in that. :shock:

[Hakka.]

Pic discs... they are generally heavier which is cool but often you can't read off the groves where you are on the track and how much is left which I usually do with regular vinyl.

[djfase]

I agree m8. Although u know the tune, its quite easy to forget when u are in record, especially if you are having a mental one and ppl are distracting u.

[Hakka.]

oh yes... some people (respect to them though) who try to get your attention to ask you something in a club right at when your trying to cue up a track is awful. I don't want to ignore them but I'm busy for that moment in time!! it's also hard to gentle say "please give me a second" in a club when your right next to a loud monitor!

rats to it all.

[Carl]

Talk about off putting eh Hakka! Throw a record at them.Hard. :lol:

[K Front]

Know what you mean hakka that happens all the time.
I play in my cousins pub sometimes and when it is packed full of pissed matlows jumpin around the stand somtimes gets knocked and the needle skips, know that is off putting! especially when your half way though a mix..

[Voorheez]

Just ignore them until the mix is over - they'll understand or just go away.

No i meant the needle skips half way through a mix and f*cks it up..
Know what you mean tho :wink:

[Voorheez]

Yeah, I was responding to Hakka really m8 - too lazy to quote. What pub are you on about where you play?

[Voorheez]

That question was aimed at you btw, to avoid any further confusion.

[K Front]

oops.

the kings, just the other side of the ferry, in torpoint.
Know it?

[Voorheez]

Do you play there regularly? Don't really know it, but give us a shout when you play again and i'll do my best to make it over.

[K Front]

Should be playin saturday mate, dunno yet, ill let you know.. :wink:
