Did mine on lathe at work took about 20 seconds , put wood plate on lathe , turn centre dowel , put record on screwed washer onto centre sjuper glued outside of wastage on record , sharp tool , done , 20 seconds !

Just got mine yesterday, here are my impressions: 1. This thing is fucking huge for a portable fader. Seriously, this is really pushing the "portability" definitions to its limits for me. The way i set it up on my pt01, that i found most comfortable, makes it so i can't close the lid of the pt01 properly. Still gotta do some adjustments, i reckon before this baby becomes "portable." Bought the case for it, for some reason, so not really a problem really. 2. I fucking love it. After going from a regular ass raidenfader to a JDX2R and loving it, i thought i would be hard pressed to even like the RXF-1 considering how much i liked the JDX2R (i posted about it earlier). But I'm a fucking sucker for light, but solid feeling faders and the fact that the RXF-1 doesn't ever pop because it's an active fader and it has a lot louder output than the JDX2R (can't comment on sound quality though because I use shitty headphones) makes up for the ridiculous size. It feels sturdy, but i made sure to apply velcro strips that i cut out myself to avoid having the fader wiggle, like i see a lot of other people having because they use the supplied velcro. Still love the JDX2R, but I've decided I'd rather use it as an overpriced headphone amp for my QFO (connecting the master out through an RCA to 1/8 " jack cable) as the QFO's headphone amp is like every vestax amp, annoyingly noisy and almost unlistenable.

. I did the Sunday show 😉

Personally, I think there are no hard, fast rules. What you're really talking about here is "arranging". If you just do verse/hook/verse/hook/new verse/hook that get's kind of boring. If you get creative you can make an intro from one song into a bridge for another, then go into a breakdown, etc. I'll also set things up so that there is word play between the lyrics of the different songs. I'll sometimes have two choruses portions running at the same time and they play off each other, or a chorus directly over a verse, etc. Or, I'll drop in a track mid verse and have the new track play off the lyrics in the previous one. The more turntables you add, the crazier you can get with this type of shit. Juggling different tracks off each other like a Q&A can work with some songs. Sometimes it works best to drop a track with no transition at all. Sometimes it works best to have 2 minutes or more of blending. I'll do all types of peakaboo techniques too where you preview the next tract throughout a lot of the track before it. The biggest thing about nice arrangements is that if you're not pre-planning them then it's really hard to pull them off correctly. All my early DJing was pretty much mixtapes and I would piece things together and practice the set until I had it flowing like I wanted it. It would take hours of days of planning to get the mix right. Freestyling on the radio or at live venues is a different story and I never got too uptight about super-slick arrangements. Unless you REALLY know the tracks you're working with it's hard to know exactly when the change ups happen and the arrangement is going to be best.

@smurfy I haven't tried connecting the OS2 yet no. I might give it a try in a few days, I'm really busy just now. @jeremy Elliot has reprogrammed a batch of mini innos with new firmware that should make them compatible with the PT-01scratch without having to modify them. He's sent me one for testing, when it arrives I'll post an installation guide/video. If you wanna order one now, put "Modded for PT-01scratch" in the order notes on the innofader website.
