Each to his own I think - but Im with merf, I can mix both ways but Im geenrally at the point now where I can shift the record with my fingers and then stick the pitch control in roughly the right place. As I mix quite a lot of ghetto stuff now which generally involeves having the two tunes pitched in like 5 secs , using the pitch fader without touching the record it definitely too slow.
If you check godfather and assault in the mix [some good vids on groovetech] they dont use the pitch method - its just too slow to get a track mixed in in like a few seconds. > -----Original Message----- > From: Tristan Watkins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 20 November 2002 14:22 > To: Neil Wallace > Cc: 313 > Subject: Re: (313) re: best decks > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Neil Wallace" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <313@hyperreal.org> > Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2002 2:13 PM > Subject: RE: (313) re: best decks > > > > > > I don't see how it can possibly be faster - if the record > is too slow > > you must move the pitch control too far in order to > overcompensate and > > then shift it back down once its caught up whereas if you touch the > > record you can just give it a nudge and adjust the pitch > control which > > is instant. > > It really is.
