Really dumb question about slipmats...

...okay, believe it or not, until last week, I was using the rubber slipmats that came with my Technics. Believe it or not, I was able to mix with them. :toocool:
Anyways, now that I have felts, I assume that they go ontop of the platter directly, right? |

yes, just put them right on the platter
toss out that rubber thing
it's meant for when you're using a single table in a hi-fi setup |

Atleast some people are honest about things and don't try to add in the usual story..."oh my friend just did "x" and I was wondering what effect it will have on "y" etc :P |

| It was kind of amusing really. I was somewhat aware that DJs were using felt slipmats in clubs (having spent a bunch of time in DJ booths), but I just kind of didn't use anything but the rubber ones since I bought the tables in mid-January. :) |

| heh for a while i was spinning with the slipmats on top of the rubber thing...till my friend told me that i didnt need it because it just creates more friction :p |

WOW, I have a new wrinkle in my brain, I've been spinning for a year now and did away with the technic slipmats they came with and put felt ones on top of the rubber.:toothless I must change this right away. Thanks for bringing the subject up.
peace,

| I made an thread not long ago about how to ease the friction when cueing. They said waxpaper is good. But what is that? |

waxpaper is like...the stuff that a bar of crisco comes in
i can't explain it any other way
its the same idea as tin foil and seran(sp?) wrap
my techs came with a plastic sheet to put under my slip mats
i thought all techs did?
well regardless it doesn't make a huge difference |

It's also what a butcher shop would use to package meat (a real butcher shop, not Safeways, IGA, Save on Foods, Sobeys, etc.). |
