    I did something different from my normal broadcast with this video. The description has different chapters so you can skip over sections you might not be interested in. How do you like this type of video? Hopefully you learned something new.

    I was DJing in the early 90's at a couple of clubs & did a Hip Hop, House show on ST. Michaels College. I am 50 y.o. now & bought two 1200MKII turntables a few month ago. Now am back doing what I love-spinning at home. This video is great. I did forget a lot of what your teaching being away from spinning & mixing. It's my hobby, passion!!!. I have been building you my old school Hip Hop, dance & House 12" singles every week.

    I used to DJ in the 2000's. I started with some cheap ministry of sound belt drive turntables and progressed onto some SL1200's. I could beat match and stuff perfectly and do a lot of interesting long mixes but I never learnt to scratch. I never actually looked into learning properly, if there was something around like this back then it would have been awesome. I don't really DJ any longer but I was thinking of maybe picking up a cheap-ish controller some day and maybe I can finally teach myself!

    • @HipHopHistoryGuy
      @HipHopHistoryGuy  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's never too late to learn! I found scratching on a controller to be quite difficult, coming from turntables. I still love the feeling of x2 Technic 1200s and a mixer with a nice cross fader.

      Great to hear! Happy I was able to help. Keep watching my mix shows and if you see a trick you like, just try your best to mimic it. "Musepic" app allows you to reference a specific begin/end time of a TH-cam video so you can just loop the one part you are trying to learn.

    How much weight you should put the arm on?

    • @HipHopHistoryGuy
      @HipHopHistoryGuy  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      As light as possible without the needle jumping when you scratch or back cue. It will vary based on DJ due to how everyone's hands are different when manipulating the vinyl on the turntable.

    does scratching ruin the records or turntable?

    • @HipHopHistoryGuy
      @HipHopHistoryGuy  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Over time, it will deteriorate the sound quality of the vinyl especially if you scratch the same exact part(s) and you have a lot of weight on your needle.

      If you sold even a single Technic 1200 turntable for $80, you got completely robbed unless it was beyond repair. I've been monitoring the prices of these since the mid 90s and I don't recall ever seeing one sell for less than $300 used whether in a store or direct from someone.

    Putting your counter weights on backwards will deffo effect the vinyl.. The stylus his very hard and it will wear out vinyl over time. A lot quicker than sweat. Don't put your weights on backwards for more weight on your needle. If you set up your turntable correctly it will not jump.
    Just watch the video. Counter weights on backwards for extra weight over the needle and it still jumps and skips. If it's balanced properly it wouldn't do that. Common rookie mistake. Record skips so they put coins on the headshell... If it's skipping you need less weight.
