| Can someone give me detailed examples of when they would use backspin? do you just use backspin to get the cool sound effect? do you let the record you backspun play or do you turn it down after you've done it? if you backspin from a transition from record a to record b, you backspin a, right? or do you just use the 3rd turntable? (like we all spin with 3 tables... :) |

i wont touch upon doing it with 3 tables, as i don't know how nor do most people have 3 tables.
heres what i do.
i either use it to end a set, with echo on. and thats a cool effect.
in the set, i match a and b in the cans. a is playing. then when u wanna kill record a, backspin it real hard (but be soft, don't bounce the needle), and with the fader go from a to be. the speed of the fader and timing of the fader is preference. like you can come in from 100% a to 100% b. or u can be at 77a 33b and spin it over. or whatever u like. I like using it when i have two songs which have really complicated beats and even if you mange to match em up still sound wierd. the nice thing is if you don't know how to match the beats at all. just get em somewhat same bpm and backspin and whos to know.... =) just dont do it every time or ull sound like a lost rapper
anyone do it other ways? |

WOW! you can get 110% out of your mixer? cool :D
I'll try to post a sample of my basic backspin later today. I never use it on mix-CDs,though. Just at parties... |

| Is there a certain time you start the backspin...so you time it to bring the new track in right on a new measure or set of beats...or just whenever? |

| On that clip, when did you start bringing in the new song? Was it playing before the backspin? Did you fade it in during the backspin? Or slam it in twards the end of the backspin? |

The new song was brought in at 0:14 sec. I then turned the bass off the old song down and the new one up at 0:27 sec., turned the volume of the old record down about 25% (they are much louder when you backspin) and slammed the fader when the new melody sets in.
Watch out that you don't leave the old record in longer than the backspin, cause it will be off beat and start slow (even on technics)!
