wen im cueing up a record, i can feel the bass coming from the record thats currently plaYing. is there any good way of isolating that?
i have xl 500's

Arent u supposed to adjust the low range on the mixer as your transitioning from one record to the other?...

....Once you start the transition...if u feel in the monitors(if possible) that the bass is dominating the incoming record....then steadily lower the bass on last track while you fade over to the incoming track....

....it does take some practice and some getting used to. At least in my experiences..

Laterz,

Shook

thx m8, but i dont mean it in the mixing point of view, but lets say i knock on my table were my decks r and the needle is on on e of my records, and nothing's playing, i wil be able to hear a little "bang" and the db levels will go up.

is there a way of putting something on the legs of the decks to isolate it or somethin

you shouldn't be banging your table first of all. there's only so much vibra that the turntables can "ignore". one way to avoid it in your case is to put more heavy stuff on your table. You could also make the tabletop thicker & heavier. support beams under the tabletop would also limit the stronger vibra.

well i know alot of clubs have this seperate box thing that the turntable sits on and its suspended either on top of soft...stuff or its like hanging to isolate it from the table.

if i were you i would position my speakers the best way that i can to keep the soundwaves from directly hitting the table or floor or whatever... for speakers dont point them directly and try to raise them from the floor...i have seen people use tennisball halves as feet for the speakers. not only does it isolate the speaker from the floor and thus your table but it also makes everything sound better.

if thats not enough then i would probably buy like a square slab of wood or soemthing and rest it on the table with a towel or something under the board.

oh..they also make this stuff.. but its kinda expencive

well.....when i used to be a scratch dj when I would keep knocking my hands on the platter of the table, I would get the same thump anytime my hand would go back on the record....i guess putting a thin insulation under the table it would reduce it although I've never done it yet.....hmmmm....

just use two solid slaps of concreat under the turntables. sound be fine.

when my mum dated a archtect (sp) a few years ago he had to build a club for someone (which was fun for me cus i got to choose ALL the equiptment for it and install it all ), and thats what he done, literaly put a breeze block under each deck. i thought it was quite funny but then he took them out and there was a BIG difference.

good idea, but problem is, i dont even have room for my dex, were do i put the concrete??
