When you have one that's not fucking miles away

This site is quite useful: http://www.domesticsoundproofing.co.uk/soundproof_wall_help.htm It's got some nice animations to give you some idea of what's involved: Click here to see below as an animated movie:- The rock wool site has some good info too: http://guide.rockwool.co.uk/media/85832/soundpro%20book%20low%20res%20from%20capell-sec.pdf I'd recommend rock wool RW3 slabs (denser than the normal stuff but not so heavy it's difficult to manage) and gyproc soundbloc plaster board (again heavier than standard but not so much you need to worry about supporting the weight). I lined my studio room (in a brick walled, board roofed double garage) using 90mm studs screwed to the walls through 5mm neoprene, the screwed the plaster board to the studs through more neoprene, with 75mm rw3 slabs filling the gap (with 15 mm of air which is helps too). I didn't bother with resilient bars as it's not a vocal booth and it's not connected on any side so I didn't see the point, it was as much about warmth as sound proofing but I got excellent results on both counts :-) If you want any advice just give me a shout. The people at domestic soundproofing were really helpful even though I didn't buy anything from them in the end. Get your rockwool, plasterboard and neoprene from ebay, there are a few shops that basically let you use trade only suppliers without having a trade accounts. I used buildershopuk: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROCKWOOL-RW3-75MM-ACOUSTIC-SOUND-INSULATION-5-PACKS-/390231707237?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5adb9f4e65#ht_3611wt_984 All the stuff actually came from the local travis perkins, compared to somewhere like studiospares the prices are a steal and it the same stuff

It just works on my laptop. I do all my organising in iTunes so I only have to do it once for iTunes, tractor, serato, my work phone, my shuffle Cue Steve giving me shit for being Steve Jobs' bitch

There's no magnet on the circuit board, it's electromagnetic coils: The ECLER ETERNAL crossfader is an inductive fade technology based on a magnetic control. An extremely light aluminium screen (0,5 gr.) cuts the flux lines of a magnetic field created between two sets of coils. Field technology tested over 20.000.000 Operations and 5-year warranty. Out of interest can you take a picture of what fell off? I've got a knackered eternal (bent the rails) and I studied electronics years ago so I might be able to help. Probably not but maybe..

Nah, trust me on this one. No trust me - Broke's telling massive porkies

I was there too, a lot of people thought plus one deserved it. Still think so on the basis that technically there's not much to choose, but the feedback and stylus banging adds a bit of interest to Plus One's and Klever's routine sounds a bit boring.

i don't get all the bleating about online DMC not being judged by proper judges when there's a perfectly good DMC competition you can turn up to in person and get judged by real judges

Without going into a physics lecture IMO Shure's are louder and skinless mainly because the the "spring" is softer so they move more within the magnetic field but that movement isn't enough to pull the tonearm side to side enough to make it skip i.e. the needle moves more and the tonearm less. Don't use concords with a s shaped tonearm and angle the needle outwards to fake a straight arm. If you want to see the effect angling has on skipping, put your needle cover on, but the covered needle on the record and start scratching. With the needle at the "proper" angle then you'll see it swing in and out as you move the record, the more you angle it out the less it will swing. Now, if you put more weight on the swaying gets worse, which tells you you need a softer needle that you can put less weight on and you should angle it outwards. Give it a go and it should make sense

Sounds like you got thrown off by one little thing which ended up having more of an impact than it should have. I used to practice on the shabbiest decks I could find to get used to recovering when things go wrong. I think the trick is to stay focussed on what's next and not what just happened. And remember... Not matter how bad the fuck up its not like you're going to lose a bollock ;-)

Is it more or less than spending all your time on forums?

I've started to get a bit of a hankering for this again after a couple of years missing out Not sure if I'll ever find the time though now I'm not freelance and have kid...

That Tandy badboy even had split cue which was a godsend for not pissing the olds off :-) I had one of those and 2 beltdrive citronic decks with bits of wood wedged under the top plates to stop them being too springy and some parcel shelf speakers and an amp from the 60s

You need both hands to cut and one of them's shit. Every scratch is ambidextrous isn't it? Unless you're that japanese fella that used his knob on the fader in the DMCs once

Too drunk to type the other night so I'll try again! In one of Yoshi's videos he was wondering what I meant by "walking" a scratch... basically it just means doing the same combo repeatedly but changing position. It can change the pitch of part of the combo, but only part as the rest of the combo is normal pace. It works with any technique, you just need to take one or some of the individual sounds and either change the length, or change the speed so you don't return back to the start position. In what I called walking tazers, the first back stroke of the first tazer moves a lot further back that the other one, the forwards parts of both tazers is the same, like this:

If anyone wants to add stuff just ask me for a login. I've got no time to maintain it now I don't do a job where I'm stuck in hotels with nowt to do in the evenings any more

Try platter off to get the hang of forwards - you can get the them same and not wavy

I call it an open 3 click swing cos it's a 3 click swing starting open fader I do them in combos with 3 click flares 3 click boomaflangs: which is a 3 click variation of boomaflangs which I posted on skratchworx a couple of years ago but people started calling boomflares. Quite easy to learn if you just do 3 click flares then start throwing in babies at each end

That's his dj name are you entering this year johnny? Unfortunately not... I'm rendonculously busy at work and me and my girlfriend are expecting our first baby in a few months so I'm on permanent diy duty at the weekends. I started getting something together but I didn't want to do it half arsed

That's his dj name

Sylenth has a better range of sounds IMO and sounds more betterer Predator is cool but sounds computery I never got on with Albino for some reason

broke: If you want a login to my flash ttm drawer hit me up. It's all drag and droppy instead of having to type in codes

The term "boomflare" seems to have cropped up quite a bit on youtube ever since I posted the ttm for them on that ridiculously long skratchlopedia thread on skratchlounge. I'm not claiming credit for the combo in any way but some guy posted a video of the combo calling them boomflares and the term seems to have caught on. I call them boomaflangs and start them a a different point which might be easier to learn for some people. Basically its a two click orbit then a boomerang (but starting open) the open boomerang is the same as a two click orbit but you change record direction each time you click: http://www.johnny1move.co.uk/scratch/?scratch=13

Looks and sounds like you're doing the "fast autobahn" but drilling the slices sometimes....? I'd call that walking jackhammers. I feel a ttm coming on
