Couple of innofaders in a QFO for easy 2 handed practice on the go:

So good my phone posted it thrice!

Or northwest turntablists with spare cables! Or northwest turntablists with spare cables! Or northwest turntablists with spare cables!

I'm replacing one of the line faders in my qfo with an innofader so I can practise cuts with both hands easily but I've not got the little cables to power the line fader from the crossfader (another innofader) Has anyone got some I can nab? I need the little distribution board with 3 connectors and the wire from that to the crossfader and that to the linefader

I think there's only 2 things wrong with it... The website is a bit flakey on different platforms which is far more of a ballache to sort out than it should be, and the flash Gui doesn't to tears although the php renderer will if you go into the data base and add them. I think I'd have to relearn action script to sort it now though!

I did something like this with a flash GUI to draw ttm and store them in a database, then some php to render the ttms from the database. Www.johnny1move.co.uk/scratch I lost motivation to finish it off when I got a new job though...

alternate them with orbits is a good way to get them down, just keep 2 clicking and do f f f b b b f f b f b b record movement which gives you a 2 click orbit, og flare, reverse og flare

It's only fifty quid and it's already saved me about 5 hours work so worth it for me :-)

Flash decompiler trillix on the mac works a treat. I've got loads of looper beats on my iPhone and they loop perfectly. I paid for the software but well worth it IMO. The trial version lets you get 3 sounds at a time so if you've got the patience it's not so bad

Guilty as charged - I figured overtime and under time are reasonable extrapolations of double time and half time (which just mean doing it twice as fast or half speed and are recognised terms) What better way of getting them into the turntablist lexicon than youtube? I think I did try and explain what I meant in the forum thread I did it it for but can't really remember. I think this is a jackhammer: And Broke, if you stick a slice before or after your ttm you get a really nice pattern that gets back to an even 8 sounds:

Well if you will insist on using non-conventional explanations...

We seem to be pretty much arguing over whether or not 4/4 and 4 * 1/4 are the same thing or not

No it doesn't - that would be like saying 'orange segments in an orange' implies that orange segments are made up of a number of oranges. You have completely misunderstood me there, suffice it to say because you don't pluralise fractions the phase "beats in a note" confused me at first.

We obviously just understand the same concept from a different angle so it's not worth bothering to argue about

They're not equivalent, they have competely different feel and would be notated differently.

I suppose if you'd said "how many beats in a whole note" it wouldn't have sturck me as a little odd at first. "beats in a note" just seems to give the impression that beats are to be counted in multiples of notes when generally speaking beats are fractions of a note

Sorry - it was a little past my bedtime - I did mean crotchet. What I was getting at is 2/2 has longer beats not beats with more notes in, so they way you phrased it seemed not quite right ( I didn't say exactly wrong!) At the end of the day, the top number is the number of beats per bar, and the bottom is how long they are.

In 2/2 wouldn't you count it as beats of a minim each rather than beats of 2 quavers crotchet each (cos that would be 4/4)? If so then you wouldn't have several "beats in a note" so to me it sounds better to say that the bottom number defines the duration of the beats

it's 3/4 not 6/8 so you would count it 1 and 2 and 3 and rather than 1 2 3 4 5 6 if you counted as 6 then the snare would fall on 3, but conventionally 6/8 is counted as 2 lots of three so you would only really count it that way if the snare (or other emphasis) fell on the 4

That's not quite how time signature works, the bottom number is how many beats make up a note, top number is how many beats are in a bar. I've never really got to grips with this. I understand "how many beats are in a bar", but I don't understand "how many beats make up a note". Care to enlighten me? the bottom number is how long a beat is (how many beats in a note isn't quite right). x/4 means the beats are quarter notes, x/8 means they are eighth notes and half as long (for the non-americans crotchet and quaver respectively) This excerpt from wikipedia of helps clarify why you need 2 elements to the time signature

Is it balanced or unbalanced connections (i.e. is the jack in 3 sections like a "stereo" lead or 2 sections like a "mono" lead)? Balanced leads cancel interference, whatever the source, so if you're not already using balanced leads then switching might help.

I had a major interference (eveytime I moved the mouse you could here sounds throughout the speakers) problem with my rockits using xlr connectors until I discovered that using a different cable sorted it. I think the cables that sorted the interference had the shield and pin 1 wired bridged but I would have to double check to be sure.

Sweet - Asian hawk had me second and I wasn't even in it. I must be dead good me!

Manc-chester I know it aint that far but unless it's at my house or my local I'm unlikely to make it :-)
