    Default Dicers/serato

    hello there...

    i use the dicers with techs 1210,s and serato...

    the problem im having is when i hit the buttons on the dicer the needles are picking up the vibration as i am effectively hitting the deck....
    i can get rid of this buy setting the threshold of serato to -24 but then scratching and playing in reverse are affected....

    i am using orfton pro s needles.....

    are the any types of needle that are better at not picking up the vibration? or anything i can do to help this

    thanks

    david

    This should not be a problem with 1210's.

    What sort of bench are they sitting on?

    Have you check you tone arm balance etc?

    You're bashing them too hard. I'm using Dicers with no problem (besides mapping ) whatsoever...

    You can get away with hitting them quite hard without transferring the vibration to the needle. I can't imagine how hard you must be bashing them!

    Do they absolutely have to be sitting on your deck?

    I'd just move them to beneath the mixer or something.

    You might want to check into getting a pair of Freefloats. They are an inflatable shock absorber you put under your turntables. I've used these in several different scenarios and I've found they work really well even under some pretty extreme conditions.

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

    when you are assigning cue points and are playing in beat you have to hit the pads quite hard to keep rhythm....
