Ok, so you know how you see scratch/DMC Dj's with stickers on the title sticker of the record? Just a straight line so that they can spin the record back to say, for example, the 12 o'clock position on both records in order to loop shit (beat juggle). Just like in this video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCA4yiPfFIg
Well I set my control vinyl up like that a while ago but I'm having trouble making shit line up.
First off I wanna just mention that I didn't just stick the sticker in any old position, they're definitely in the same place (been doin this for years now so know what I'm doing). But anyone got any idea as to how I can make this work mid-tune? With traditional vinyl I'd have stickers all over my shit so I could just drop the needle in front of the sticker, pull the record back so the needle moves to the correct place and bang I'm cue'd up ready to go. But you can't do this with the control vinyl obviously.
So, what I wanna know is say I'm playing a tune, I've messed with some cue points on my controller so I am now in relative mode & can't go back to absolute cos it will fuck everything up. The needle is somewhere in the middle of the record. How do I get to the same point with the same tune on the other deck? I have it set up so that if I load the same track it replicates the one thats playing, meaning they'll both be playing together at the same time as soon as I load the same tune. What I am doing right now is getting the sticker to rotate at the same position on each record then hitting the load button so that they are both at the same place and then going from there. But, forgive me if I am wrong, I am sure that because I am not on exactly the same groove on each record the stickers dont quite line up & Im having trouble with the sticers not pulling back to the same place. I'm thinking maybe because the grooves get closer together later on in the record and so the a full circle on 1 part of the vinyl wont be a full circle on another part.
Get me?
Sorry for long message. Any help appreciated
Cheers
