I find it not so easy in tech 12s cos of the hard slider. In smooth sliders like the TTX and CDJS much easier.
Is it just me?

What do you mean by hard slider?
The click or is yours rough?
Get some lube!

I am new to mixing but remember reading about giving the record a push. So last night I notice track 2 lagging in the beat so I gave it a push and it gave me a horrible sound through the speaker but after that was back in track. Yeah, I'll never do that while track 2 is live again.

i only use the pitchslider... it's the only way i learned.

me + manual correction = trainwreck

i never got it quite right.



tommy, he means that the slider has a lot of resistance/tight (not necessarily rough). the lower end ttx pitch slider feels like a crossfader on a battle mixer. -definately takes some getting used to.

it is useful at clearing the floor!!

Most definately im on a pair of TT 200's which get alot flack due to the "loose" pitch but i love it, makes pitch bending so simple.

I use combination of both, my decks have pitch bend but i never use it, ill either just ride the pitch or make feather light touches to the record. If i make major touches to the platter directly my decks often try to recompensate, but always over compensate. So i just prefer to use the slipmats as intended and make feather light touches to the record. Easy as hell just gotta be really careful on those really light records. Otherwise thats when it all goes wrong

I use the pitch controler for the most, but will usually give a track a nudge if I drop it in slightly off time before I bring the track into the mix. For any correction after that I use the pitch and nothing else.

Most of the DJs I know use the pitch but I know some DJs can get the same result not doing it.

With the pitch it's easier to make a smaller adjustment than you would by hand generally speaking. As your initial match skills get better you will find that touching the platter may be overkill.

exactly
I learned on the ttx so when I play on Techs (me w/o any practice) I'm kindda having a hard time.
