i mean do i need to put slipmat on top of turntable mat or should i only use slip mat ?

you dont need the turntable mat.
its rubber, which increases friction between platter and record and your using the slipmat to try to reduce the same friction.
your slipmat will do just a good of a job as the turntable mat at keeping the dust out too
it is an easy mistake to make tho, took me about 5-6 months to work it out when i first got decks haha :D |

when you first get decks, its not glaring obvious that you shouldnt use them.

yeah for real. its kinda common sense, i can understand thtas its ur first decks and all, but think fo real |

when i first got my decks my train of thought was that the slipmat would stick to the platter whilst cueing, which would mean having a rubber mat on the platter wouldn't really make any difference.
I dont think thats a particularly silly way of thinking |

| if you're pulling the record back at all you seriously need to take that rubber thingy off and use the disk shaped clear palstic thingys that come with the turntables (or make them out of waxpaper) or else slipcueing and the like will fsck up your direct drive mechanism |

So Here's the Million dollar question:
Why make rubber turntable mats in the first place, if they are useless?? |

For playing records the old fashioned way. The very first turntables werent exactly used to scratch and mix with, so you needed the friction to keep the record in place. |
