You must have a heavy fader hand. I've had mine for years and my fader is still 100% functional. I'm hip to that pete rock/ premier/ damu light handed technique though.

You're right I do have a heavy fader hand...been working on it.

I have noticed how pete rock, premo and even grandmaster flash and jazzy jeff use a light handed technique on both the fader and record...I will try and break outta my bad habit! Love the mixer though!

Don't sleep on the Pete rock 4th finger technique(Finger to the right of the middle one)! I've found this quite effective for wrist oriented scratches.

WORD .

Been through my fair share of Vestax's and although they are great mixers they're not fckin' w/ the weight of a Rane .

Ecler's are just crap . Seen / had too many fail on me .

Edit : oop's :oops: . Didn't catch the post that you got an Ecler . Have fun w/ that :lol: .

Yeah, I got myself a Rane 56S last year. Really nice mixer, although it's being criminally underused at the minute. :oops:
