adapting to decks...
i once already posted about this, but its still is getting on my nerves. so far any technics decks i use are perfect, as a technics deck should be. except for.... the evil red Mk2's a friend of mine has. he treats them like babies, recalbrates then pitch all the time, bla bla.
i'm used to decks that have platters with dots that are slightly worn, so as when you give them a slight touch, it sort of feels soft. on these, i can feel the edge of the dot's circumference. his pitch slider is very stiff... sure, i'm used to CDJ-800 slider, which is pretty soft, but all tech decks i've used are softer than his. i can't correct nearly as well, i'm either too slow, or too fast with his decks, always... the point is i can't mix a single track on his decks...
yet EVERYONE ELSE who uses them says they rock. 
wtf
