[JesseRoyle1]

Sorry, but this was a dumb-ass explanation of how to set-up your needles. Never lick any of your equipment. Second, the 2 most important things for balancing your needle and tone-arm is how to set-up your height adjustment for your tone-arm in relation to your needle cartridge, and if you really want to be a good battle deejay and not have your record skip, you need to learn how to adjust and set-up the anti-skating on your turntable tone arm.

cheers for the tips, sorted my decks out a treat, the needle was so heavy it was making the platter slow to the point where i couldent drop tunes in, and the clean the head tip sorted my channel problems thanks dude.

[Warlock700]

i got 15 that says Grandmaster Flash use to lick his needles. just chill, it's old school, they didn't have them freakin chemical cleaners and soap sprays hahaha.

[11FSE11]

This is awesome. The whole licking your thumb thing fixed the problem I was having, I thought I had a dud cable

[costellom5]

perfect explanation on how to set up the arm and weight.thx

[SametTuncal]

on technics 2,5 gr on vestax 3gr!

[deviousMonk]

Dude that was a waste of...time

[bigboydjs]

thats good you recommend weightsettings but what about tone arm height adjustments and anti skating i personally use these but do not like them you go through to much trial an error to get them to not skip ortofon needles you jus set them on an they good to go no skipping

[blinkzone1]

yeah maybe you're rite that he went old school by cleaning the needles but he is a great DJ IMO. he'll learn

[YellaDevil1]

yep. he DEFINITELY went old school on the cleaning tip. I haven't done that in 20 years. You live and you learn. BTW 3-3.5 is a pretty decent weight for scratching. Just my opinion, nothing written in stone.

[oakenfold179]

This guy is so off base on this lol

[fitedfreak]

how much were both of your needles???

[lukinoooo1993]

bella faccia da idiota!

[djtechsupport]

DO NOT LICK ANYTHING!!! CLEAN THE CONTACT POINTS BY RUBBING THEM ON YOUR PANTS DO NOT LICK

DON'T DO IT

licking does nothing but rust the inside of your tonearm. I don't know about you but I don't want to put my mouth in the ass of a turntable

[mixinislife]

clean them using the correct equipment

[skedder0]

@djtechsupport

AHAHHAHAA<

true that man, true that.

i never gonna put my mouth in the ass of a turntable xD

wahahaha.

thumbs up dude!

[underverser]

At my turntable it did'nt work completely... My needle did fly away, even with the perfect weight on it... Als playing with the stabilizer did'nt worked out for me.

[iulixxx]

3.5 grams?

isn't to0 much?

4 club mixing and no scratching 1.6grams is perfect

[DjDulcet]

yes, but for heavy handed scratching you need a bit of weight.

There's nothing more embarrassing then showing off your crabbing skills only to have the needle fly out of the groove.

[krnfr0st]

the title of the video deals with scratching, not clubbing

[sneskid]

Actually, using saliva to clean the contacts on a headshell is a bad idea. Over time, this will cause the contacts on the headshell AND in the arm to corrode.
