Right,
I've seen there are a few of you out there to have a little experience in this whereas I have none.
Currently I've messed about a little on my VCI100SE & TP with little success - I'm a hamfisted bugger at the best of times and those wee platters aren't conducive to me being any good.
My theory is learn how to use vinyl (and TSP), and then apply it to the VCI or tweak my gig playing setup.
My question is : when you were learning was it a case of trial and error, or did you have someone who knew teach you? I'm lucky enough to good mates with a couple of the Ninja Tune Solid Steel DJs, who would teach me for beers I reckon, but at the moment I'm so shite it's embarassing - I've got a good sense of rhythm (played drums for a decade, and don't rely on the sync button) but I think it's coordination that's lacking currently.
I'm not wanting to do a Craze-esque two minute mind bending routine, but I'd like to be confident enough to bang a decent scratch in as a transition, or to drop a vocal or somesuch over another beat.
