yep same. have to get used to it though (i started this after months of perfecting my beatmatching skills), but i definitely recommend it for the smoothest transition. but of course, its all up to personal preference

I've started doing this, I personally find it to be so much more accurate than using the platter (but to be fair my platter is made of plastic )

lol! i remember those days...i've tried this and if you know your tunes this is quick as hell,but i was trying to beatmatch some tunes i haven't fucked around with much and i was messin up.

I’ve been riding the pitch for about a year now, and I can safely say my mixing has taken a leap forward in skill since mastering it. Really is worth your while to learn.

ok guys,my 1200's are coming this saturday and i wanna know exactly how to do this for when they arrive.

can some explain this VERY CLEARY IN LAYMANS TERMS? step by step

cheers guys!

The reset button on the mk 3 technics works wonders for this technique

doesn't this also depend on how much pitch control the tt has? you could master this on your own deck, but say if yours has +/-8%, and you're on a deck with +/-10% or +/-16%, wouldnt it throw you out of whack?

I don't believe that will be a problem, i do the same with my cdj's and they have +10% pitch.

Pete Mitchell i think you should first learn how to beatmatch regularly, then move to this.

I suppose you could end up with a little too much movement at first on a pitch that does %10. But I think what would set you straight pretty quick is that you are going by what you hear and not what you see.

I understand you're having trouble doing what i've written, it happened to me the same. I'll explain again.

You have track A and track B. Track A is live and track B is cued on phones.
You notice that track B is slighly faster. Not way faster, but a little, let's say in the area of +1/+3%. So now push the pitch up to 6% and pull back and let it in +1%, all in the same movement, without stopping. You notice track B is almost at the same speed. Do the movement again but now let the pitch in +1.5%. Now you notice that both tracks are pretty much at the same speed, but track B is one beat ahead of track A (to notice this you had to have them cued in phrase). So this time, push the pitch to -6% and then return it to +1.5%. Now do the little adjustments, compensate with another movement to +6 or -6 if necessary, and it's beatmatched.

With practice, it takes a lot less than beatmatching "by hand". As i said in the original post, i went from 20 seconds at best to 5 at best.

See....i don't have these old fart 1200s. I use stanton str8-100s...and they have pitch bend buttons. Basically a button that does that for you. The great thing about it is that you don't have to worry about putting hte pitch exactly where it was.

When i'm on my friend's 1200s...i usually use the spindle. You can make very imperceptible changes with that...but if I actually had 1200s myself i'd probably learn to do it that way with the pitch.
