heya guys...
i got my tables like 3 months ago or something and lately when i want to cue back and forth like, scratch back over first bass beat scratch forward, back, forward, etc... to get in the "groove" with the live record, if i do it too fast the motor like skips or something, it makes this weird vrrr feel and the table vibrates slightly...
why is this happening?
low torque? motor getting ed? i dont scratch with it, i just move the record back and forth lightly, like every other dj would (i dont press on the table hard)
thanks in advance.. |

| first of all, when you 'beat rock' make sure the platter is still turning. there is a reason for your slipmats. If i can remember correctly the r-60's are direct drive, so stopping the platter won't damage them too seriously (unless you make a habit of it). rock the record back an forth, not the platter. |

yea i do it lightly, and i dont press on the table i press on the slipmat..
i have this
-------------- record
-------------- furry slipmat
-------------- plastic slipmat
-------------- table
in that order.
the table sometimes slows down alot when im spinning it backwards or sometimes even stops.. |

| my suggestiong.. take a record and put on and start the platter.. then just hold the record so that the record and fuzzy slipmat are still but the platter is still moving.. just get a feel for the amount of friction it takes to not actually make the platter stop moving.. so u can get a feel for how easily u can move around the record w/o effecting the platter too much.. i dunno that might help you out a little.. it doesn't take too much pressure to hold the record but let the platter keep moving.. i hope im understanding the right question. |
