F**** AIR CUSHIONS

[Barely Human]

Or an even better way is for promoters to sort thier heads out and stop being dumb cunts. An easy solution to most jumping problems is to use a pair of shure m44-7's. And the best way to stop feedback is to move the decks away from the speakers.

Mind you, they must think it easier to make some makeshift bolox of an oil-rig to sit your decks on, then put some stanton 500's on the decks.

The mind boggles...

[alsynthe]

good point there al, but they eat your records

[oldbugger]

another good way to do it is to make 2 boxes just bigger then the decks with open tops. then fill these with sand and sit a hardwood board on top then sit the decks on top on the board

we used to do this...worked a treat. used to use a sheet of cavity wall insulation (not the fluffy type) to sit them on rather than wood though.

Aye. but -

1. You dont get jumps

2. Stanton 500's are nearly as bad for record wear

3. They sound better

4. Your only going to be playing the record once

[basslinejunkie]

shocking arent they.i had a pair,but ****ed em off almost sriaght away.anyone want to buy them off me?!? :lol:

[Dj_Tyronnster]

I bought a set of these but tried them out and sold them to someone else within an hour,

Didnt trust my decks sittin on them,

[messyfuture]

there is a plastic resin you can get called sorbithine (sp?)

they absorb shock really well . if you throw them on the ground they just stick, no bounce at all.

you should be able to get them from good hifi shops, there not cheap though, about £20 for a set of 4

since researching into needles about 3 months ago, i now take a pair of m44-7's to EVERY gig. and after doing about 20 gigs in that time i now will NEVER EVER in my whole live use anything other than those needles. i've even just bought a set for the studio (i really can't listen to records played with anything but these needles now) and a set for clubs. sure the records still jump occasionally but OMG i can't believe i've played for so many years without them. as soon as the next dj comes on and i take them off, if they're playing vinyl, the loss in sound quality is incredible. so much so i just can't hear the music anymore.

I used em once, wasnt impressed to start with, but the club deck stand was really wobbly and they actually made a big difference and i could scratch with em.

Word. the m-447's are the mutss nuts, been using them for about 2 years now and will NOT use anything else.

[DJsmallpaul]

Might have to invest in some of these needles, don't fancy damaging my vinyl though.

[Barely Human]

They only really eat your vinyl if you have them set up for scratching by angling the cartriage and putting a lot of preasure on. Ive never noticed any damage to vinyl i play, only samples that i continually scratch all the time...

Well worth the money if you ask me. Cheap as hell aswell..

Isolating decks from vibrations isn`t the easiest thing.
Those ****ing li-lo`s are shite though.
We tend to use concrete slabs and on top we have some special accoustic gel packs. They do the job.

[eyes without a face]

those gel packs are smart we've used them up here a few times

also, squash balls, 1 on each corner underneath the paving slabs, seriously, stable as ****

[piginabush]

my first gig in Holland the decks had them orange inflatable thingys underneath..... thing is, the decks were also suspended from the ceiling by chains, which made cueing almost impossible!!!!

do u not cut the squash balls in half to do that?

[Dj_Tyronnster]

i mind a club i used to go to had the decks upstair suspened on chains and people always banging in to them

[romelpotter]

the trouble is that bass is non directional so if the deck stand is made from wood then it will amplify the signal up through to the decks. concrete is the best material to use for stage construction - concrete slabs on wood tables do not do squat. might try those sure carts though. i have stantons and they are duff !!!

[Dj_Tyronnster]

Yeah I have a wooden board then 2 concrete blocks,


Probs be better without wooden board
