i cant connect to the mp3 file

Did you try a different record?
did you try your other turntable?
where you on drugs at the time?

i tried alot of records
and different needles
and both tables

the red lights on the platter
the middle one is supposed to stand still? well they move.. and move alot. and kinda the sound thats playing.. goes up and down (pitch) as the big dots move
:\

my daily bandwidth limit is over for today so tomorrow you can listen

Posted by Dj_Zen on Sep-17-2002 08:29:

the midle light is suposed to stay still at 0% only..
then the above light (small) is supoed to stay still at +3,3%..and the last one is suposed to stay still at +6%.(its all written on the TT)
If ur 'big' light doesnt stand still at 0% is because ur pitch is NOT ok.. so it will b harder to mix (not impossible though.) unless the varition is to big u can deal with it.. Now if it moves alot.. Then u will have to get another pitch...

Peace

damtrox, whats up with you and drugs? you always keep asking people if they are/were high or stoned.

its horrible at 0%
like the sound keeps going up and down.. vocals.. everything its horrible
ihave to go to a store and get it recalibrated?

Posted by Haunted on Sep-17-2002 19:44:

well i found a place to recalibrate.
30 min drive..the guy said itll cost around 45 bucks

god damn..
no one EVER buy from hollywood DJ.. first they forgot a counterweight,power adaptor,and 45 rpm adaptor.. now the pitch is fucked up

Posted by DJ LIQUID on Sep-17-2002 21:50:

did u check to make sure your table is getting enough power?

i know that if you dont give it enough juice or too much it could mess it up

Posted by Haunted on Sep-17-2002 22:09:

i just got back from the shop
they are doin an estimate it will take 10 days
the guy said its not just a recalibration..
theres something wrong with the power
it keeps trying to turn on and off again

http://hauntedzorz.homestead.com/files/wtf.mp3 thats what it sounds like

the dots go crazy.. and he said it might be the Euro style power cable
i got an adaptor so it fits into american slots.. but that might be it.
so i gotta wait 10 days now for an estimate to see whats wrong
man this sucks!

Posted by Haunted on Sep-17-2002 22:36:

weeeeeeeee
all they had to do was change voltage from 2 20 to 1 10

HAHA!!!!!!!

dude, your TTs are definately haunted. You should ask the guy thats fixing it how you can make it sound like that again for halloween. That is the trippiest shit ive heard in a long time!
