I'm just wondering what that switch is? The one he controls with his left hand. Is it a fader? And what does it do...is he fading from the beat to the vinyl he is scratching?

thanks

That's a 'Vestax QFO Q-Bert Signature Turntable with Built-In Mixer'. It has an integrated 2-channel mixer. You can buy it online for example here. Should have some information on that page to answer your Q.

yes its just a volume fader just like u would find on any mixer nothing special
hes just basically fading the song in an out
thats what u got to do to scratch

pardon my ignorance, but is there a difference between a "fader" and a "cross fader"? When sleepydragon says he is fading the song in and out...he isn't fading in another track at the same time is he...thats what a cross fader does right?

cheers

A fader is basically anything on a mixer that will fade. This could be a voume fader or a cross-fader. It's basically the opposite of a rotary. The cross fader is used to change between the channels on the mixer. QBert has a song on his ipod playing and he's using the fader he's ing around with to fade what's being played on the ipod in and out.

so he is fading to and fro from the ipod song to whats on the turntables?

btw, thanks for that site.
