If you're using Technics, I guarantee that as soon as you hear your mix snap to a tight locked sound in your headphones, one of the four dots will freeze for the briefest of moments.

That's all I'm saying - I'll leave it up to you how useful you decide this information to be, and to create a method for applying it. All I'm saying is that it's observable, and works every time.

It will work with any two records - hip into techno into country and western, whatever you like. I've done it on decks mixing against beats from my 909, it still works. It's mad, it's like the deck "knows" when it's bang on (I realise this can't be true, and am hoping for a better explanation).
Cool.

Wouldn't a frozen dot suggest that the deck spinning at a perfect constant speed? I mean Technics are accurate enough, but what perhaps the tho whole relation between torque, power, balance and pitch accuracy is at moment where its at a good snyc?

Bah I can't explain what I mean.

But yeah, thanks for the info. I will go have a play now and see if I can see it.
