Does your 12" get stuck on the platter, Mr Dj?

[SmallGrayBox]

Ahh thanks, I've got a record that does that, but being a fav old skool tune I didn't want to have a go at botching it but... may give it a go :)

[debiani3866]

Oh nice! One of my records has that problem. Thanks for the tip!

[freezingcold3]

i ruined my turntable by this, center hole too big=> wobbly=> needle was dancing=> needle broke and record was sent straight to trash bin.

[freezingcold3]

this is great for ruining your records -.-, anyway, if you want to have a try, do so. You can buy an glide mat either...

[ScottyT192]

thanks man, i'm new to dj'ing and your videos are both helpful and inspirational!

this video is a big help!

so why don't the manufacturers make the hole a bit bigger in the first place?

[mechwarreir2]

1:30 careful.... your gonna attract perverts =/

[StaffRecordPlayer]

You know soo much about vinyl, I dont know shit lol .. but will learn, got me some 1210 now :-)

[sfalama]

nice

[teendude16]

Ellaskins, your a real help to us, (your awesone),I had this issue too. Thanks for posting.

[djkells3]

im trying to get turntables tht dnt cost to much and a mixer im a beginer and i need records can i just plug it into my computer open up a program and spin or not

[rhythm38]

Serato scratch live would be the way to go if u wanan use a program to mix n spin with, u will also build an understanding much quiker by reading the beats in the waveformations:)

[LowriderManiac]

But what I must do, when the hole in the record is bigger then normal ? It's bigger because i scratch very long. I've tried put some a lil piece of material into the hole and then put it on the turntable, but its no use :(. The worst thing is that the needle is skipping when scratch. I don't know how q bert is using one record to scratch for over 15 years and his needle is not jumping and skipping. Please help me =[

[master4666]

What I've done before is just use a piece of paper about 1/8 of an inch wide by like 2 inches long and slide that through the hole and fold it. If it is still loose on the spindle fold the paper so it gets thicker until you get the hole to your standards.

[LemonAndYoghurt]

I know this trick, thanks. Ya know what Technics did with the newer breed of SL-1200 turntables?

The actually profuce SL1200's now with a smaller spindle!!!

Now Im not too amused by that, cuz now all my battlerecords who fitted perfectly forst on all ther SL12's I came across, now fot too loose.

Thank you for that Technics.. I thought Technics never could go wrong... After 20 years they proven me wrong.

[bizzyfingers]

i usually get some cousre sand paper (80 grit) what i mean by course its more rough than 1000 grit which is fine enough to rub your hand on. if you roll it up (to about the thickness of a pen) put it thought the hole and spin the record it opens up nicely. test your record everytime to not over do it. or you could use a pen hahaahah

[flowonek11]

hiii, very good videos, i got a question, i gonna buy a Stanton T60, what kind of problems can have it?

and you think that if i bought 50 vinyl records its a lot of music and time ?

what is the best mixer console?

sorry for all this questions but i wanna make a good decision when i bought all this stuff haha thanks and keep going good videos men

PD: I am in the username of a friend haha

[ellaskins]

hi, just so long as th turntables are directdrive you should be ok, 50 vinyl records is a start , but you will find yourself buying more again soon after, good mixers are pioneer, technics, x zone , vestax to name a few. all the best johnathan

[guerradag]

good idea

[danikster69]

Wicked Video! very useful!

[80gram]

Truly amazing stuff, maybe you could do a series, starting with how to change a toilet roll. It's quite annoying the way they never give detailed instructions when you purchase those dam things.

[ellaskins]

Go see a video for you!! johnathan

[80gram]

Thank you johnathan, both clever and funny.

[enzed76]

dude if you make the hole too big it's gonna skip when you try and cut that sh*t.

[tocamadera]

I made the same with my cat...

[porlodinio]

well that is hardly rocket science! why has this got a 4 star rating and an honour??? no offence but all you did was jab a pen in a record with a small hole. why am i still here???

[ellaskins]

I am known as the dj tutor, and i was asked a question by a youtube user.

 I gave an answer. Johnathan

[PhildaShrink]

Is he really going to put his balls in a blender?

[nightfire620]

10mm drill bit duz the job

[unseenalias]

he could have explained this in 12 seconds either

[robi142]

i just rubbed an exacto blade on the inside of the hole on my green vinyl syd barrett LP that didn't fit. worked, and only took two seconds to figure out. not a whole video for ford's sake

[greenlion22]

Who really needs a lesson for this? Really inovative stuff

[gnorwdaed]

A small, round file works better. You can get it exactly the size you need it and completely avoid wobbling. Who wants to be making sure there's a piece of paper in the hole when they're at a club djing?

[DeeJayDijon]

the round stickers made for ring binders work perfect and they stay on forever.

[Merv5]

Good one too ;)

[lexxxuss02]

Nice interesting post! But, have you seen what happens if you put diamonds in a blender? Check it out blend.lostfrog 'dot' com

[Karibigboy9000]

Cool... I wanna see him put his balls in a blender... Sweeeeeetttt!!!!

[djpi0]

i use sand paper :)

[deejaybeef]

thats wat i did with ma skip proof scratch vinyl

[briansredd]

Great tip! Do you think it's the vinyl that causes the tightness or is it the paper sticker?

[ellaskins]

It's the vinyl, you find that the hole is a fraction to small.

[ligeiro]

another problem can also be traced to the fact that the vinyl is not absolutely flat... I found some of my records to be beautifully slippery but when i play the other side it gets stuck... I found that the middle bit is slightly coned so if u play it with the coned bit pointing up you have a very sticky record which is not good... i haven't found any solution for that other than try bending it the opposite way which is not nice but does help a wee bit.

[dsouldnb]

Man, i've experienced this problem too... I've herd some advice, wich says to place the slippery Vinyl between to glasses wich size covers the whole vinyl from each side. And then hold it on heave sun (at noon maybe) about 2 1/2 minutes... wich is not damaging the vinyl.. I haven't tries it yet.. Maybe Jonathan can help! REspect!

[Kbron2000]

Thanks 4 the tip :)

[tincu]

well, hello, Mr Fix It :)

[johngr2007]

Thanks. I have experienced that problem before. I thought it was my decks. Thanks again

[monnie110]

Good tip.

[Toneray]

I Use A Round File On The One That Are Tight. 5 Buck's At the Hardware Store's. It Helps Me A Lot.

[silverzstudio]

I prefer tight holes.

[tincu]

[JAMESJW2006]

[dj06shorty]
