Which ear do you use to cue?

I'm new here so i thought id start off with a question

So Left or Right?

Personaly i use my left ear to cue, ive noticed guys using their right ear is it any different or is it just what you find most comforadable?

Both?

I use my left too.

Which ear do you hold a phone to? That's probably the ear you'll want to use natually.

i hold a phone to my right ear, but when i cue i use my left ear. i think its because the headphoen wire is on the left side.

the middle one

Lol, it depends, if I'm cueing the left CDJ, then the right ear, if it's the right CDJ, then the left

Yeah it weird, I always seem to use left too...

There is a theory that vocals are best heard throught the right ear since the left part fo the brain processes language and speech, and the Brain's left/right is reversed.

For routine sound though I am not sure, maybe someone could help clear this up?

I know if your left brain develops earlier in childhood, you are almost certain to be right handed and right footed.

Likewise if your right side develops first your gonna be a left handed person.

Maybe there is no connection, but I cue with left but am right handed?

WTF am I talking about?

at the moment perhaps this a bigger issue that what ear you use, lol

i use both, i'm useless at one ear cueing

used left for 5 years but ive noticed its starting to sound not as clear as teh right so a switch is in order. im going deaf.

I think it's beacuse of that also, it's just more comfortable to use the side where the wire is located.

and in my bedroom my speakers are at the right side of me, and not in front of me, so I have no choice.

I use my left ear, but mainly because the wires on my HD25 are on the right ear. (the Red cable goes into the right ear) And i've always kept the red on the right ear and black/blue on the left ear. (remember the game boy earphones!! lol)

Sometimes i'll slap the other ear on then after i've beatmatched the tracks just to see what it sounds like..

I generally use my left ear when cueing at first but then just use both to get the BPM the same, then back to left ear for cueing when to bring in the tune.

both, then right

im partially deaf in my left, however so that kinda voids the taste issue

I use my left ear aswell, I think its because, as mentioned, the wire is on that side...

im using techs dj1210 headset.. the wire is on the right side .. but i still tend to use my left ear.. coz im more confortable with my right ear listening to the live track.. dunno why ..

I read an article where with the human body, the left ear hears music better.

Not sure how relevant that would be to what ear you cue in while DJing, but interesting regardless.

I highly doubt there's any connection with the brain itself. If there's any correlation at all it's probably with the fact that your being right handed has gotten you used to instinctively doing things a certain way. That being said, I'm left handed and I use my right ear.

Originally posted by dj_palm i use booth so i get equal deaf in both ears. or else my productions will loose balance and that cant happen , im so afraid of my ears man, its like i dont almost deer to dj anymore.

I know exactly what you're talking about and it's actually getting me down quite a bit.. I have a quite a nice SQ system in my car which goes fairly loud as well and often i'll decide not to spin if i've been driving and listening to music for the majority of the day just because i'm worried about listening to music for too long in the day!

Now a days my ears will ring for maybe a whole day to two days if i go out to see a dj. I hate it! Scares the shite out of me!
