    Legend.

    Used to follow him an Miles around.

    Were boss when playing at Yellow in Mcr

    Mad_Cyril Reckon he’ll sort you out some of his special sauce too.

      Mad_Cyril In fairness, physical lessons, stood next to someone is by far the quickest way to learn imo. Worked for me anyway.

        Btw when we booked Luke Unabomber he pissed in a jug under the decks.

        Classy

              i’m going to stop giving out advice in this thread. i go to start sampling some old records, took me 15 minutes to figure out that the stylus wasn’t fucked, the weight on the tone arm was just off a bit. 😅

                303abuser Once tried to change the fuse on mine, it was still plugged into the socket… took days for the metallic taste to leave my mouth.

                    Amps 🤣 that’s definitely funnier than mine, well done.

                          Quick Q around headphones.

                          When making a racket I use HD 25’s, when listening use QC35’s.

                          I don’t seem to be able to pick up bass so well with the HD25s and was wondering if this is something I could solve? Aware things like Beats headphones amplify bass, but don’t want that, just a stronger bass signal would make life easier.

                          The sound in the HD25’s is good, just doesn’t have the right balance for me I think. I’m sure there’s tech differences but the QC35’s are over ear as well.

                          If I go reasearch online get quickly lost with people talking about soundstages and frequencies. Hoping someone can dumb down for me?

                            That’s why I like the hd’s . They are studio headphones so what hear is the pure sound of the music and not amplified like some DJ headphones.

                              Here’s a tip while waiting for a technical answer on the phones - mixing using higher frequencies is more accurate anyway eg: mixing with hi-hats is easier to hear and ultimately more accurate in terms of grids if you’re using software.

                              People get bogged down with “beat matching” when using the above method is easier. Just a personal preference and have done it since the belt drive days. Give it a try and see if it works for you 👍
