[Aratron]

Not sure... what do you mean exactly?

Think he means cutting it up....i like to use 2 of the same record,1 on, 1 off or 1 behind a beat....get some good results doing that.
But yeah, i vary a cut up style with long fluid mixing....like Barry said,can sound shit when overdone....use in moderation!

possibly extreme fader riding?

Crabbing maybe???

or? cmon calvin describe what you did?

And seige... ermm thats doubling up

[massplanck]

Hes probably discovered that moving the crossfader back and forth between two records is fun I reckon.

erm just like tranfering the beats using the up-faders. like 1st beat on one channel and then onto 2nd beat with the second channel. and so on and so-forth.

yeah, your right.. thats doubling up...but its still chopping or cutting in and out with the fader-faders, whether its with 2 diffrent records or 2 the same.

yeah thats not doubling up then. Its Fader Cuts.

@Seige - ok mate.

FYI using two records and replaying the same section of each one is called beat juggling.

further FYI - i hate beat juggling.

I like boob juggling!
