Placing marks on your Vinyl. WHY?

[DJOMGCarlos]

I love how you cover everything, I never would have thought to search for this

[Murdamore]

alot of us dj who spin the decks in the "battle Position" (vertically) place the sticker at the 12o'Clock position on the vinyl to visually mark the first beat in a particular track of a 12 inch

[A13918221]

how do they plce a marker on top of the music

[lordkufu]

@A13918221 probably with a finger or two, maybe a thumb also...

[2Champions]

it's so fkn' hard to do that ;)

[Dancinqueen76]

Placing marks on your Vinyl. Why? Really, Why??? Why you would put anything on the vinyl itself is way beyond me. Very amateurish.

[rapperskilledhiphop]

that's not amateuristic,you're just a clueless ignorant character

[Chuckscott]

DUH!! Look at me everybody. I'm just a clueless ignorant character. rapperskilledhiphop really made such a good point FOR marking up your vinyl. She's so talented.

[rhythm38]

Oh yesssss how could we forget a video like this, something i am constantly doing, finding that point on my wax, oooo the best love it, got afew colors for different points, eg:gold for acapella, Silver for Intro, Black for break eheheh thanks Jono:)

You will want to use splicing tape instead of paper stickers.

Here's the inventor of No Headphones-cuing. The legendary DJ Duke: watch?v=sUIPsPUVCec

to everone who is gona do this.

test out the stickers or w.e. marks your using on a test record to c if it leaves any residue.

[DJGEZZO]

i like dj,hes so down to earth,but he duzz like sheep,so do i ,wales rule

[lyrikalmenace]

LOL @ the 2:35 mark. Random. But, putting stickers on records are great. I personally use Torq so I just look at the screen but when I don't want to look at my laptop, I use reference points on the Torq digital vinyl sticker itself, like print. Great vid and ellaskins check out Torq from M-Audio.

[djDivineJustice]

I couldn't give up the vinyl feel sound so I incorporated one turntable in my traktor setup, along with a vci-100 for internal mixer mode control and a padkontrol for cue points.

then running that all through ableton.

check my video!!

[xsquizet]

but i mean if you are a turntabalist your gonna have to mark ya vinyl up or put stickeres on it, to find certain scratch sound and also to help out with beat juggling. check out dj kentaro dude got stuff all of his vinyle.

[donpelipe64]

Yeah!vinyl!!i have never use marks and will never use!

[Aeromester]

Hey ella.. you have a nose-pierce?! WHY? :) Anyway, good vid.

[cheeckybutnice]

good vid. the 1st time i noticed the stickers was on the rossi b and dj luca vid but i clocked on while watchin the vid but its gd u explained it .

[mushin111]

Did anyone notice the random frame thrown in at 2:35? I think it was just Ellaskins again with a 'University' t-shirt on. Random!

[Kevlar0013]

Nice video, I always wondered why and how they used those marks. Got a few second hand records with lines on the center label :/

So; for placing stickers on the vinyl I'd recommend using the sticky part of a post-it.

You can remove those things any time you like without damaging your center label.

[Kevlar0013]

Actually it has. Due to the sampling frequency of 44,1 kHz in a CD, you're limited to the fractions of that very frequency. Vinyl is analog and because of that it reproduces any frequency that got pressed in the grooves; so also those in between the frequencies you get from the same track on a CD.

[foulmouthc1]

use serarato ssl with control vinyl you can set the cue points on the software that way you dont worry about marking records or wasting time searching for start points, its there as all the prep work is done at home before you venture out for the night.

[salsoul76]

Don't deface your vinyl by marking up your vinyl, guys! It will lose its value and the record will look like crap.

[exozero]

If you wanna keep your vinyl "clean" that way, don't be a DJ.

[salsoul76]

I've been djing since late 70's and my collection still looks new. If you know your vinyl, like any good dj, you won't have to mark it up. You can go right to the spot on the vinyl and cue. I've never seen markings on labels for cueing and i've known my djs over the years.

[willywonka091]

that is absurd. thousands of great dj's use stickers to mark certain reference points or samples. you aren't a true dj until you've got some markings on your vinyl. you must have a tiny collection.

[salsoul76]

I've been collecting since the early 70's to the present. I have thousands of 12"'s and none are marked. No stickers, no bpm, nada! Sure, you can mark them if you want, but totally not necessary if you know your vinyl well. Thousands of great dj's?? I don't think so. I think ellaskins has some great vids, this is not one of them.

[MBnjmn]

watch any video of a scratch dj, they ALL do it.

[groovindj]

You don't HAVE to put marks all over your vinyl and stick your greasy hands all over them to be a DJ.

Putting your hands on the grooves of a record is one of the worst things you can do to it!

[nathan123487]

i like using vinyl more than cds

[GanjaSam]

Is that a piercing? :)

[rikleigh03]

u mean on his nose haha i think it is

[StaffRecordPlayer]

Somehow I tend to like vinyl more and more, I dont even use it and never did, but propably its the most origin feeling of DJing ... what do you think ?

Greets

[138018]

I have to agree with you. It's amazing when you feel the track in you hand. and DJ started from vynils so it's crassics :)
