I would leave em on my desk, but I don't think I'd get much study done! Don't worry, I've had my flatmate who studied engineering for two years tell me that the setup seems structurally secure It's a little hard to mix, though.

well i have
1x winamp v 2.91

Yep, I have. Sounded fine (on tape). The mixing sounded fine using the cross fader. Though I've been trying out the channel fader method mixing lately and am now a convert, haven't recorded using this method though.

cart = cartridge which converts the vibration from the record to sound? its the thingy which holds the needle. old turn table should be fine. its the needle u gotta worry bout. just make sure you don't set the weight too heavily as it'll wear the vinyl, and that you change your needle when required. you can tell when this needs doing by the slight deterioation in sound. also when your needle looks pretty sharp, and starts collecting 'shitloads' of lint and dust as it plays. continual usage will dig deeper into the grooves, once again wearin out the vinyl.

Honestly mate, I love it as it is easy to use, monitoring is clear, Levels for each channel, at home it sounds fine. It's rugged, knobs are a great diameter on the fingers (not too thin not too thick, just right), the crossfader (if u use it) is perfect as it isn't sticky and effects are a bonus. On big PA it has been said that this mixer isn't clear etc....all depends on who you ask though....I love it for what I use it for and i'm not replacing it in any hurry.

Hope that helps bud.

I first overclocked a CD player about 1 year ago, at my first position as an electronics repair technician. I simply used a coil and a capacitor as the 'tank' circuit, hooked up to the clock pin on the CD player. This worked pretty well, but you had to move a ferrite core into and out of a coil to change the pitch on the CD player. This obviously wasn't the best solution.



I went out and bought a couple of CD players from my local second hand shop, and started mucking around with them. I took the cover off, shorted out the switch that detects when the cover is open, then pulled out the 16 MHz crystal. I then fed a variable clock frequency into the CD player, and bingo! the CD player was pitch controlled.

My first couple of circuits were just a really simple Resistor-Capacitor oscillator, but that had the problem of changing pitch when you put your hand near the slider! Sort of like theremin, but not really all that good for matching beats.

I then started to try to make a voltage controlled oscillator, and came up with the pitchman circuit. This has gone through a couple of different versions, and although the current version is pretty good it could probably be improved apon a bit more.


Here I am, slowing down the spinning CD player with my finger. This actually works, and you can hear the pitch bend down,

OMG XAVIER


you legend


that is the coolest thing i have seen all day!!!!


well done!!!


i have to see it sometime
