5 MUST KNOW Vinyl Record Tips (⭐️Number 5 is a BIG Mistake)

[@70sMusicParadise]

Never touch them, never play them, never look at them, never even think about them and you will be fine ...

[@MyWeirdRecordCollection]

Notice that these tips are for *vinyl* records. You got a styrene or shellac record? GO CRAZY!!!

[@Records_N_Stuff]

LOL I can relate because I mostly collect shellacs!

[@Skradgee]

Also, if you collect flexidiscs you can fold them up to save space since they’re bendable and they don’t warp. 😜

[@darthwarren4599]

Also get outer sleeves and good inners so they stay static and dust free and that keeps the stylus clean

[@donovan_nee]

Have any good inner sleeve recommendations? Been trying to get se for a while, but been having a hard time.

[@darthwarren4599]

@ vinyl style poly sleeves or mofi master sleeves. They are anti static and keep them dust free

[@41moose]

Anything with rice paper really

[@riaanjinadu1211]

I see some Earth, Wind, and Fire and some Stevie. I like this guy lol

[@11cylynt11]

Every DJ I know breaks almost all of these rules. But they would be able to mix and scratch without breaking these rules. Sometimes there are exceptions to the rules.

I live in Colorado and it’s dry asf so I’m good

[@snicklefritzsnicklefritz5069]

OCD much? NEVER drop the needle in the middle of a song. As long as the tonearm is gently lowered, the needle can be dropped anywhere. Use the cue lever, not just your hand.

Alternate video title: “no shit”

[@hovz-zo8lf]

Send the memo to Record Store owners who stack records all the time lol

[@snakeoilaudio]

And don't forget that these silver records do not work on the same playback device

[@EnriqueMP-p8v]

LAGUNITAS!

[@BucketHead4901]

You can start in the middle of a song. These guys are trynna make it seem like an elitist thing.

[@voicesofvinyl]

As long as your turntable is set up properly (i.e. tracking force is correct)

[@DjJugend]

I know right. I immediately thought of all the times DJs drop the needle everywhere on the vinyl searching for the part they ant to play. That Tip is pure nonsense

[@Pluralofvinylisvinyls]

@@DjJugendDJs are notorious for mishandling records. You *can* drop the stylus anywhere on the record but if you care about the longevity of your records you should only drop it in dead wax. Why would you want to start in the middle of a song anyways?

[@DjJugend]

@@Pluralofvinylisvinyls I hear ya. It makes sense

[@ZX-zw3ge]

Is that a Foreigner record?

[@clipped3643]

When I was taking my record of the the record player my finger slipped and touch the record by accident will it be ok

[@lanelandry13]

Of course, it’s a lot of touching that’ll cause a problem. One of two slip ups won’t cause a problem at all.

[@BucketHead4901]

According to these guys. You will die.

[@hlvr123]

I'm sorry to say, but now the record will eventually explode while you're sleeping

[@tharveytucker1]

All of these are exaggerated. Great way to scare people from getting in to vinyl.

[@mrturtleturtle7878]

I see that sticky finger vinyl, what an awesome album! Good tips as well on records!

[@scroogemcduck3003]

How about never store your records directly above the turntable when they are bound to fall off at some point?

[@Pluralofvinylisvinyls]

I don’t think they’re on a ship

[@41moose]

Just say record. It’s fucking annoying when people say vr

[@gregc7699]

Never put the needle in the middle of the song???? Wtf😂😂😂 bye bye dj then

[@mixicano-56]

huh

[@agentblue52]

HAhaha! Mix Dj's never cared for these.
