My top mixing tip...

[MangaFish]

Better still. If both decks are at 0 pitch then all mixes will automaticly be in time. Is this the case?

only if your playing the B side of the record

[killarava2day]

Maybe it's this weed I'm smoking...but what ever you've been describing has clearly blown my head clean off

Really, is there any substitute for mixing without training the ears. You never have to worry about a foreign deck, mixer etc...plus, during the time you've mixed without having concentrate on the platter etc, you could've pulled out the next tune, thought about the next mix...or, being the devo I am, checked out to see whether the music your playing is pushing the clothing level of hot chicks on the floor to the bare minimum!

what a load of old bollox.

I cant belive your all still ripping this guy

[Hakka]

think most people on here missed the point the guy was trying to make. I didn't read this as anything to do with mixing by using the platter, I thought he was tyring to say that at certain pitches the platter dots don't move and appear to be at a "constant" speed.

I dunno **** it, I'm going bed! hehe...

the dot stays still when the record plays at the pitch it was recorded in,so thay only match if 2 records where made at the same speed.

[MangaFish]

it does work!! its magic! :lol:



[edit]

i'm jokeing before people ask

No it has nothing to do with the records or their tempo at all. There are four lines of dots on the platter, one for -3, one for 0, one for +3 and one for +6. When the pitch is at -3, the first line will look like it's stationary, then at 0 the second will look stationary and so on. If you wanted to check the accuracy of your pitch control you would do so by using the dots.

If when the platter is touched, one of the lines looks sationary for a moment, it obviously just means that the platter is temporarily running at -3 (or whichever it is), nothing else.

Unfortunately this isn't much of a trick and the fact that it may result in a good mix is purely coincidental. Best keep away from the platter where possible anyway, and compensate as much as possible with the pitch itself. I'd touch the platter myself a bit, but as little as possible.
