Dicers/serato

[theory28]

no. you can compensate by not moving your hands less distance

rest your finger on the button and just press it when you need to

Spending money ain't the answer. Just learn to bash a little softer!

Definitely agree you should learn to control your button mashing, however if outside vibrations is the problem (i.e. rickety table, drunks around the decks, etc...) then $30 on a pair of freefloats can easily remedy that. I've played in a few different environments where having floating decks were essential to keeping my vinyl scratch free and the mix from falling apart because some drunk D-bag bumps into the table. Plus I love the feel of a floating turntable, but that's just me

If the needle is skipping YOU'RE HITTING IT TOO HARD!!!

I've got Dicers here, fixed to 2x1200's with DJ Putty. Like I've said before, I can bash 'em pretty hard without any skipping.

If you're not using DJ Putty, try removing the 45 adaptor locator from the Dicers (using a screw driver), and fixing 'em to your TT with DJ Putty. Might make a (small) difference.

Maybe try calibrating the deck while hitting your Dicers, maybe that will help. I have the exact same setup and I don't have that problem. Even with my monitors blasting loudly next to my tables I can scratch (badly) and hit the cue points, loops, etc. on my Dicers with no problems.

Does it happen in Rel mode too?
