Nipple.. that would be the little metal thing where you stick your records into, would it :D
And yeah, always correct the outgoing one, never the incoming one. Disaster for the latter :D |

I don't think this is always true - I think the best thing to do is to adjst the track that is quietest, so before the halfway-point (crossover point, or whatever you call it :D) I would adjust the incoming track, and afterwards then i would adjust the outgoing track. If you adjust the louder of the two tracks then it's going to be more noticeable, surely? |

there isn't a right way or a wrong way, it's just the style that you choose to adopt.
if done properly in both instances, it won't be noticeable, but as well in both ways, you do it wrong and the mix will sound like
anywho, i touch the platter and the label |

| DJ Liquid...look mate...any adjustment should be as unnoticable as possible...Are u seriously telling me U NEVER adjust the incoming track...if this is the case, then your full of ...:stongue: ...A DJ naturally adjusts the record which is easiest to do so...In other words s/he adjusts the one which they can manipulate without the listener noticing. |

| Personally I feel more secure with adjusting the outgoing than the incoming; at least most of the time people are not going to know, coz it's fading out anyway. To each his own, I guess. |

all depends... keep in mind what makes a good transition is when you get the crowds attention with the incoming track. because if you think about it, theres no perfect way to fade out a track, but people don't pay much attention to it.. they get taken by the melody of the new track. so depending on the volume and the time its been mixing u can do either or. if your in a total rutt and your beat matching is horribly off, just cut to the new track -- save yourself the bother.
also try to use the metal spindle thing.. cuz if you have a super warped record you can skip it easily.. iv done this sometimes. im playing with a solid record so i spin it hard.. then the next record is a warped record (you guys know, the oval warp that makes the thing have close to NO friction). i tap that one with my finger and by misstake spin the bastard like 5 beats foward.. its tricky!

I just use the pitch control when cueing
When its coming on live I touch the label of the vinyl slightly when its slightly off, and i touch the platter when its way off. |
