Interesting watch that Ed, cheers for link - also brutal about mixers. Thought he'd be at least going on about the superior quality of Allen & Heath or Urei, but no, none of that.

yeah that surprised me as well, interesting huh?

I know I said earlier in the thread it was about the music, and I stand by that, but hearing a guy at the top of his game like that is really important. If music is to do what it's supposed to (move you) then I guess all that scientific stuff comes into play. He said it himself, it's a spiritual experience.

I've had the pleasure of funktion one sound systems a few times, and they are soooo smooth, they literally make you tingle all over. The bass is amazing and the sound is incredibly warm. If you haven't been exposed I highly recommend them!

i reckon this is as close as it gets :cool: NS7 Numark Performance Controller with Serato ITCH you can even tweak by twiddling the middle pins, dam can't think what they are called, or even if they have a proper title, lets call them silver nipples to pop through your vinyl hole for now ! not that ive ever used this technique, ive seen lots of djs alter pitch by twisting these silver nipples.

Given you hate CDJ's I can't see you taking to that. You're all about the vinyl.

As I said I'll reserve judgement until I have a play hands on :p

You're right though - I really don't get on with CDJ's... the only ones that came close were the Denons with spinning platters... I love the feel of torque resistance... it just feels right when you put your hands on it & manipulate it phones:

TBH... I do look at me collection & get daunted by it sometimes... not sure whether it's the hours of work I've been doing the past 6 months (yes I do graft lol Facebook & here is about the only outlet I get these days)... I feel mentally exhausted even contemplating a mix :( :$

An MP3 controller like that would be a great toy to fuck about with in the meantime...

And he's all about the cock! :thumbsup:

You know it baaaybeh :gigolo: You're next on my To Do list ;)

hahaha - bizarely someone posted on a youtube rip & upload of mine today complimenting me on my crackles lol :D

YouTube - Frankie Knuckles - You got the love

'Funky crackle grooves'- good name for a track :thumbsup:

In fact, when I play out it's ridiculous now , because it's got to the stage, where I have a crackle effect set up on my controller just to please the vinyl purists. It's ok on old tracks, but on the new ones, punters get suspicious- they start looking up at me, so I hit the old crackle button to allay their fears.
& I really hate to admit this, but.....Now & then I will deliberately warp incorrectly in Ableton & set my cue points slightly out of synch, so that peeps think I'm keeping it real.
