Re: Turntable Weights

I use them. A lot of my tunes come via mail order and I've had more than a few that are bowled... One side plays a treat, while the other has next-to-no traction on the slipmat. Will use a weight on both sides: in the first it flattens the record so I don't wear one side of the groove more than the ...

...i think its common knowlege that you should position them more like a triangle. In a near-field monitoring situation. Yes, the HS80Ms are near-field monitors, but in that configuration in a room of that size, they're not directional. ...phasing...confused by two mixers, as well as the need for t...

Bah.

Not looking forward to doing it myself, but have to get around to it one of these days. Thinking it'll start with dividing in to genres. Probably place genres together in case I want to change it up a little (hip-hop near drum'n'bass; dub step near techno near tech-house near house). Inside a genre ...

Surely after a month it's not considered necromancy?

Everyone's made a fair investment here. Thought I'd throw my coin in to the fountain: I only mix on turntables: uncomfortable on CDJs and MIDI controllers are average unless you're double-teaming like Liebing and Speedy J. Only buy vinyl and CD. Sucks that some quality tunes are only release digital...

A couple of reasons I've stopped using Ubuntu includes Unity, and a rather...heavy...investment in Mac. HTPC is still W7x64, but the MBPs (bar the 15" which is used exclusively for tunage) are Boot Camped. OSX is solid as a rock, and my W7 instances inherit it. How? Targeted drivers for a speci...

Nope.

Sorry to say I haven't used the DJ200i, but heard good reports on them. I'm currently using Ortofon S-120 OM. Absolute sick nuts. They're spherical, stick like glue at 2.5g, give me perfect calibration in SSL and even make some of my older tunes sound fresh again. Steered away from the M44s as I did...
