Just outta Curiosity.. What Side Of The Control Vinyl Do you Prefer..

Me Personally... Side A B/C its set up Like a Single Record as Apposed to an album Since that's what I've mostly purchased in vinyl

What About you?

I always use side A. I don't think I even know what side B looks like.

lol, thats how I was with regular vinyl too. I'd buy it for the tune I wanted and totally disregarded the flip. Many times, years later I played the B side and said "oh snaps, I have this tune....?".

On the CV's that came with my SL3 I try to switch back and forth regularly so that both sides wear evenly cause I'm cheap. If I'm doing a very involved mix I'll run the side with a longer playtime, which I think is B at 15 minutes. That way if I get really involved in the mixing and forget to pull the needle back I've got a little more room to move. I also got that Eric Orr robot pressing, whatever its called. On that one I run the patterned side for regular play and run the robot side for scratching since its great for visual references so I don't need stickers all over my vinyl.

Strictly A side. There should be one with both sides the same as A.

Side A habit from when I used vinyl scroll

If the record is bowled/warped, I'll use the side that gives me the most grip. If the record is flat, I like to use Side A, shorter time, should mean bigger grooves for better skip resistance.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the grooves would be the same size. Just side A is 10 mins due to the scroll on that side.

No longer runtime i guess less going into internal mode for those edm times
Laz219 11:29 PM - 13 April, 2011
I always use side A, not for any particular reason though. Except maybe that I really don't like the red labels.
DJ Dac 11:40 PM - 13 April, 2011
Side A, i should start using the b side since it goes into Internal all the freaking time...
ninos 12:44 AM - 14 April, 2011

B, but yeah Serato needs to release a CV with more "CLEAR" space for gripping, towards the middle of the record...

Grooves are slippery.

Yes, REL is good for occasional skips, but if you're scratching or whatever and your needle is skipping, it will throw things off.
