Balls to all that gear HG, way too much pissing around

There may be Radius2 becoming available at a good price 😉

      Mad_Cyril like Erik I am content with the PX:5. Just need to sort the recording output in order, the right channel is fucked. So I’ve been recording out of the master RCA in the meanwhile. Which is fine, but you can’t change the volume.

        Haven’t DJed in ages either. Looking to buy a guitar. Leather jacket and Harley also on the list. I’m not having a midlife crisis.

        gcw did you get this fixed in the end? I was gonna suggest that it might be out of phase audio.

            Just a general pointer here, but getting tracks in key with each other can absolutely save a mix. Have just listened back to something I did earlier, knew something was not quite right; shifty shifty pitchy pitchy, and it now sounds sweet as a nut.

              mono-stereo not really , I think I am just picking the wrong tunes to be honest

              Although I’ve had a bit of better luck by just practicing more. Remembering what goes well together and also recording my set and listening back….does make a difference

                I always thought that if two tunes go well together then they are in Key.

                  I’m the same. Thought many times of getting rid of all my vinyl & decks. I think I’m just bored of it all to be honest.

                      gcw I have no idea what the key is, but I know when tracks flow. And I’m a musical muppet.

                          Grant has duct tape over everything except the flashing rings.

                          All about the rings 👊

                            Dubman I’ve only ever noticed it in Rekordbox on my laptop prepping tracks, but I’ve got no idea what any of the keys mean f sharp into c minor?

                                Oh yeah. The coloured rings. The thing about vinyl is when you pitch it up or down it changes the Key. Whereas with digital you can use Key lock.

                                  I’ve tried learning that ring, but it just doesn’t stick - gave it up years ago. I’m not right all the time by any stretch

                                    Dubman Key lock is limited. The further you stretch the track away from its original tempo the more it can affect the quality of the signal. Some tracks can be ok, but others can be very noticeable.

                                      gcw you have to go analogue old old skool or get a read on the key on a digital version of the track on mixed in key or rekordbox. old skool is basically with a keyboard and trying to find the root note - its quite easy and there are some youtube videos on how to do it - you can actually do it manually on the mixed in key programme as there is a little keyboard on there to help. then just write the key and Carousel wheel code on the vinyl for future use.

                                          Or go on beatport and see if it’s been released as an MP3.
