Control vinyl with turntables.

While using the turntables in the studio, I use 'absolute' mode. If I am doing my radio show, I use 'internal' mode because I don't want to haul all my gear down two flights of stairs to where my internet-connected computer is located.

Vinyl - ABS

Vinyl - ABS
Relative esp when the needle skips like hell on dodgy crap turntables with a loos platter.

Vinyl - ABS (REL when lots of skipping occurs)

ABS almost 100% of the time. I do switch to internal after mixing in records if I am experiencing problems with the tonearm connections.

(Just like any CD junkie, I use the cd player cue point)

ABS

Vinyl

Absolute, Relative when necessary (quick cueing, when the needle is skipping or scratching samples)

Vinyl - Relative, no need to put the needle back to the beginning after each track

vinyl - relative

Vinyl - relative, because can get much more creative with it.

Vinyl @ home/club, CD w/ Denon S5000s @ mobile gigs.

Absolute mode all the way.

vinyl, abs or relative, depending on how much sound i have...i prefer relative cause i can get crazy w/ the scratching w/o worrying about an occasional skip but if there's too much sound (6 bottoms, 4 dual 15" tops), rel can get a bit messy to work with...

Vinyl. Absolute mode only.

I'm light on my hands when I scratch/beat juggle and don't want to start getting into a bad habit by using relative mode. I made sure my control vinyl are not warped (not even slightly) for best control.

Vinyl, ABS when working or recording.
Internal when prepping for CD's, building crates, previewing freshly imported tunes, etc.

sometimes I might switch to REL for doing some effects and stuff.


I often spin with just one turntable: ABS vs INT

scratching/juggling: absolute

beat mixing: sometimes absolute, sometimes relative.

Vinyl - ABS only

With vinyl, I use abs mode and switch to relative when I'm scratching or juggling.

i use abs for precision scratching
i use rel for blending/mixing/looping

Vinyl - Relative

...plus cue points to jump around in a track & liberal use of the free second copy of every tune... gotta love fs :)

keep your old fashioned abs, sooooo much more you can do in rel, whole new skizlz to be mastered, :)

oops, when i said fs, of course i meant sl :) doh!

Vinyl - ABS strictly.

although i am seeing a lot of absolute here, im gonna have to say i use relative, makes for faster track loading, maybe im just getting lazy.

Vinly - Started with ABS, but now I use REL most of the time, you can do more and cue faster. For example, when I do my radio show, I can mix out a song, hit CTRL Arrow to load the next track and catch the beat without lifting the needle to find the beginning (I edit most of my songs so that it starts on a beat). If I preview to line up my mix, I can hit I or K and go right back to the beginning to mix. You can also set cue points and use them to loop or stutter.

PS I didn't spend ~$500 to do the same thing I can do with a turntable with MP3's. I want to be able to do a lot more, and to do that REL mode is the way.

Vinyl - Usually Absolute but Relative if the decks are skipping. Somtimes use Internal for my radio show when I'm being lazy ;)

vinyl - abs... oh but I dont have SSL yet ;-)

I, on the other hand, spent $458 to be able to carry 15,000+ songs to every gig without messing up my back. :) ---- Absolute all the way. Then again, I may just be an old school dj.

all this 'strictly' absolute stuff is a bit gay. (imho)

I've always used absolute mode. I haven't found a need to use the other two modes.

vinyl - ABS

thanks for your homophobic opinion.

They is keeping it real though

Vinyl: Relative

I could never mix as quickly as I do now if it wasn't for Relative Mode.

Is there a website that allows people to share large files for free? I'd like to post one of my mixes for feedback but I don't have my own website or server.

Vinyl, ABS, REL (if skipping occurs and for heavy scratching)



I think he meant to say "ghey". No one gets offended that way.

Talk about ghey ... a guy I knew just came out of the closet last week ... It's an understatement to say family and friends were shocked.

come on, we know he didn't say "gay" with an offensive intention.
I've found it's pretty common for English people to use the word "gay" outside of its originial sexual meaning

Yes he did... What word could replace 'gay' in his sentence and still covey the same meaning? Stupid? Lame? It was meant as a 'negative', not 'happy' which is the original meaning of the word 'gay'. The use of said word was infantile and innappropriate.

I don't sense any strictly sexual meaning in CS-80a post, hence why I think the post is not that much offensive.
Anyway, I think that he could have choosen many words better than this.

now back to the poll please...

Please!

Yes, getting back on topic would make everyone "gay".

Sorry, couldn't resist... ;)

What a nunch of silly billys you are.

a bunch too

all the modes are great, I love them all!

:-P
