Jul 26, 2008 - hahahahahahaa good call

mstorm007 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - wen i touch the platter its not to slow it down as such, its to line the beats back up if needed. if pitched up or down. its a dam site easier to adjust with platter than with just the pitch. but again its what suits the individual. making a video saying dont touch the platter is not a good move.

sizzletron Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - What he says may be good for him, but wacking off the pitch slider is a dangerous use of time on a live set. Besides there's nothing wrong with platter molestation. Just gotta have soft hands. More often than not, you'll never get it exact anyhow...

intentlyserious Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - only real pro's pitch mix..finger work is 4 amateurs...trust me!!!!

str3123 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - also pro dj use fingers... Only jonathan don't do that but it is a good think... Look att jeff mills, dave clarke, ale klose, mitsu... everybody use the finger... so intentlyserious, before speak to say bullshit, learn... ignorant...

Jefi1906 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - it works but you kill the pitch by doing this way, there is no best way to synchronise beat, just you ears must be good ;)

deftonesasu Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - ya go sundevils

DJvanjam Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - 5/5 man the pitch helped me alot thanks :)

intentlyserious Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - its not bullshit & its not ignorance...its 20+ years experience...there is nothin worse than hearing finger work when some1 is mixin...or cuttin the tune out as they use their finger...using the pitch results in seamless mixin.

intentlyserious Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - but with that said...i would never use the pitch as wildly as he does!!!

speedxbones Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - i have the same tables

mstorm007 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - ignore the advice! its just more work than its worth! and never in a club do clubbers think "yes hes got it in time" if youre in a club your suppose to be in time. wether you touch the platter or not. typical house dj!

scpmbp Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - hell yea.. this is crazy man just tried it, works out. i use cdj's + turn tables. there is a pitch bend and all of that or nudge, this works out. thanks a million.
