The stylus is conical so it doesn't hurt to run it backwards, everything needs to be set up properly of course.

It's live and tactile, I don't handle my albums this way. Also I wash my hands and clean the records.

You would need a small mixer with cueing, Gemini makes a few that are fairly small and not too expensive. Just make sure the mixer has phono input if your table requires it.

The platter keeps right on going because the record is on a slip mat that is smooth on the bottom. You can do this with any turntable really though the torque of a direct drive makes it work better.

As for Cue, I use it sometimes on the incoming, sometimes on the outgoing. Sometimes on both, just depends on which record is louder and which record is more sensitive to being nudged. Songs with a lot of strings and high synths can give an audible blurp if you nudge or drag them so I would use the other record instead to get them matched back up.

I think the more recent versions of virtual DJ have high quality recording enabled now even on the free version so there's no more need for this trick.

Glad I could help, cheers.

Nice man! Sorry I didn't see this before.

Thank you!

Yeah I've run into the same 3db issue, and also when I went back and checked some of my last remaining Shure styli 2 of the 3 also had this issue. As for skipping I went back and forth with 2 turntables and I couldn't tell a difference between the 2 styli. I'm no scratch expert so I didn't do any super speed scribbles or anything but I did backspin pretty hard and did basic juggles and simple scratches without any noticable issue on the 267s. After getting flustered with the balance issue and breaking one of my remaining original Styli I have pulled out the trusty Stanton 500s and have been enjoying using those, they certainly sound better than either of the Shure/Tonar combos and they have almost perfect balance. They lack a little of the bass punch but cause less ear fatigue. I apologize for the lateness of my reply, I apparently missed many comments over a month or so I'm not sure why.

@@DjPhaseFour I'm thinking I'll buy a pair of the mk2 Concorde DJs when I'm not so broke (and can play out again), the Jico styli are good but for the price I feel like I might as well get the Concordes

Awesome thanks man.

Nice thanks man.

Could be a couple things but assuming the stylus is balanced it's probably the spindle hole on the record itself, put the record on the platter and see if it shifts around at all if it does get a small piece of scotch tape (about 1/2 inch long and cut into about half the normal width) and insert it through the hole where it looks the most irregular. fold the tape back so it sticks on both sides of the label with the smooth part facing inward. Test the record again and see if it still shifts around, if it does repeat with a second piece of tape. Generally you will only need 1 or 2 pieces to correct the issue.

Omg. ...This is so frustrating...It happened to me so many times and I had no ideea what to do.....

@@irinadumitru9088you're probably using a cart that isn't tracking too good - use ortofon concorde for better tracking

Gain is applied before any effects/EQs/etc, use gain to even out the levels of your songs so that when you set two songs to max volume they match up.

In the video description I talk about this, I used the definition from VDJ7 which treats the device differently. In VDJ8 the knobs are assigned to tracks 1-4 which makes it a kind of mixer, in VDJ7 the knobs are track independent and will work with whichever track you have active at that time.

Nah it's not made like that, you could map a knob to pitch though.
