i hope this makes sense 8)


you should be able to even it out and if you dont , dont play it , cuz youll fuc up ur needle. fuc that dropin shizz you should beable to play it without any pop, the crack should be tight, or dont play it cuz yoyu will fuc them up.



thanks for the info!

not that big of a drop, it is just a TAD lower than the first side of the scrathed record... it is almost even, just make sure the needle is always traveling downhill and not uphill, not enough of a drop where the needle is actually dropping, you shouldnt hear much of the pop of the scratch at all...

on another note,

dont you just love it when the record skips and it keeps skipping and makes pretty close to a perfect loop... pretty rare, but its kinda fun when you find a rec like this... :D

I've actually made a dope beat when a record skips and creates a perfect loop...completely by accident. I would've never used it as a loop, but the record itself pointed it out to me. Check out the beat. It's called "That's How I Know It's Christmas"
