    This isn't exactly what you want but maybe worth a try since the 06 doesn't have send is to hook the TT you scratch with into the 500 then the 500 into that channel of the 06. Wouldn't be post fader fx but it would limit it to the scratches and not everything coming out of the mixer. 

    Thanks Dirk. I originally tried this and couldn't stomach what was happening. I immediately hit the forums afterwards.

    Fortunately I still have a Yamaha 8 channel that is going to allow me to do what I want to do. I'm pretty excited now and glad I didn't impulse buy something that wasn't going to work and would be a pain to resell!

    Vestax Pro06 + Innofader Pro2 (bleeding, static or bad grounding?)

    I'm back on the cut again after quite a long hiatus.

    I am actually set up in my garage now.

    I am noticing when my fader is all the way off/cut, and I have barely touched the fader, pretty much an inch away from the fader cap, I hear audio interference, or static.

    Could this be bc my garage isnt properly grounded?
    Is my innofader dirty?
    Is this a mixer issue?

    I tried putting some electrical tape about the fader cap but that didnt help much.

     

    Should I post a video of the issue?

    @iexist - I don't think there's an easy way to do it with that mixer. Depends on what your 06 is running to? One way would be to run the output of your 06 into the EFX-500 and insert your phone somewhere further downstream (i.e. don't run your phone into your mixer, but directly into an amp or something after your EFX-500). That way you get a post-fader signal from your turntable/mixer into the EFX by itself, and just get the audio from your phone added afterwards. Unfortunately it doesn't look like the EFX has any way of dumping a session audio type feed into it, so you'll need a separate mixer/input after the EFX. Dunno if that makes sense.

    Thanks for the SWIFT reply.

    Would it work to split the input into my amplifier? I.e., Turntable > EFX > AMP as well as Phone > AMP (but split?)

    I just bought a Pioneer EFX-500 for 100.

    I only have a Vestax PDX and a Pro 06. Trying to add some effects layers to my rare intermittent cut sessions.

    Is it possible to get post fader fx with my setup?

    Currently have my turntable going into Channel 2 and my phone (beats) is going into channel 1.
    I would like to just have effects on Channel 2.

    Crazy how much you forget when you leave the scene/decks for bit.

    Anyone use Plex?

    in TECHNOLOGY & GAMING

    Posted

    I discovered plex this past year. Has changed my life in terms of how I view my digital library (movies, videos, etc.)

     

    Anyone else use Plex as their media server?

     

    I'm also trying to troubleshoot how to set up my server so I can use it remotely...

    Phase - Needleless DVS

    Can someone ELI5 why I should be interested in the PHASE products aside from the cool/wow factor?

    If I have working tonearm and needles, why would I need/want PHASE?

    If I have the new RANE turntable(s), why would I need/want PHASE?

     

    Help me out here, I feel like I am missing something.

    Numark PT01 output question

    in EQUIPMENT & AUDIO PRODUCTION

    Posted

    I cba to find the original numark mod thread. Pardon the redundancy..

     

    Im trying to understand why when I have my PT01 going straight into my Rane 62, I am constantly getting this intermittent rumbling static sound when im scratching. Usually at the beginning and end of a movement almost as if its the needle bouncing/shifting grooves.

     

    BUT

     

    When I go through my Raider fader first, and then into my Rane 62, I dont hear much static at all and the sound is pretty crisp.

     

     

     

     

    Ive seen a handful of videos with setups including a portable into a big boy mixer and it sounds decent.

     

    Im wondering if something ive modded has affected the output.

     

    Current mods:

    - Ultrapitch

    - Start/Stop

    - Bihari tonearm

    - Shure cartridge

     

    -

     

     

    Thanks for any insight.

    DJ Woody's Grind Strips

    Definitely a cool utility for the turntable. I'm still learning best placement for hands to quickly access it with my thumbs. I feel you need to press pretty hard to get the full effect.

     

    Using the strip on the portable is easier, but makes mah needle bounce.

     

    I dig em. I like where this is going!

    Anyone try a solid cutz platter?

    I just installed one in a PT01 USB I'm working on. I haven't scratched with it yet but it looks and feels like it's worth the price. I have done the platter stabiliser rings and washers in my PT01 Scratch and I didn't really think much of it and it was a bit annoying to install. The solid cutz platter I have has the patterned holes in which makes installing the belt back on the easiest thing ever. The whole thing took seconds and no need for any other rings etc. If you are thinking about upgrading the platter I think it is worth the extra cost for something that is not just a crappy plastic thing that just takes ages to get right...

     

    Just got my new platter! Its so buttery!

     

     

    Is there a solution to have more torque when playing at a low RPM? i feel i can only get good scratching with the RPM on high. Tough to play on lower bpm beats.

     

     

    You can get one of those rubber charity wristbands and put it around the ring on the underside of the platter. That helps a little but it's not going to blow you away or anything. It does help though. The other thing is adjusting your style to push the record a little more to compensate for the lack of torque when you release the record. So, there's still room for improvement with the pitch mods as far as I'm concerned. Rasteri has some suggestions for fixing it in this thread but I haven't had the time or guts to go there yet.

    Im currently using a wristband for the extra torque. Its helped a bit like you said. I appreciate the tip to adjust my style for the portable. Good advice!
