Yes. One side is the slippery side and the other side is the regular felt side. It's designed to be a 2 in 1 product where you would have the regular slip mat and the plastic in one.

i was djing once and the bouncer came up and said "right that's it, no more music" and he took the cartridges off the arms and walked off. i took the head phones out of the in and plugged them into the mic jack and started beat boxing, the bouncer came running back looking baffled. DJ - 1 bouncer - 0

find a simple beat, there are many videos of drum loops on yt for guitar players and stuff like that. look for tempo you like, 60 BPM or something like that.

Why is the needle important? What's the difference in one to another? What do they do besides the obvious? Thanks!

@namelesswon 7 жыл бұрын

Because of the amount of traction (forward backward motion) on the record and therefore the groove, the needle or stylus needs to be able to stay or ride the groove with cartridge providing weight stability and pressure. The m447s and ortophone scratch carts will burn your records (wear them down) , the trade off is rugged stability and pressure but increased record wear. The shape of the stylus under a maqnifying glass will differ between a scratch cart and a standard one.

Qbert isn't really just playing a beat from the turntable now is he? Check out some of his instruction videos about scratching and his performances at the DMC world championships. It doesn't take a couple of hours to do what he does, it takes years of practice and dedication. Jus' sayin...
