Vinyl in Outlook.

Post by Tomfooleri » Thu Sep 08, 2011 12:04 am

Little thought I had, the dust from Outlook must have jeopardised all of those playing outlook, did anybody here play on vinyl out there? What was it like? Any special precautions?

Took Vinyl with me, didn't play any on the Black Box boat due to technicals initially, and then when Thinking played some it skipped viciously, the wind out on the water didn't help
Played vinyl in the dungeon, dust levels didn't seem too bad in there. Just needed to make sure the needle was clean before cueing up a new slab..

Aha! You didn't use the tried and tested tectonic technique of building a barricade of sleeves and tape to act as windshields?

Couldn't really tell who was pon the vinyl, (apart from DMZ and T_!), due to head down beer in one hand skanking for the majority of my time out there. The vinyl I heard seemed to be fine, a skip or two in Coki's set, but otherwise good.

Vinyl sleeve windshield sounds like a fairly interesting proposition, might have to add one of those to my setup for artistic effect.

Nice to hear that people still did it though, despite the hardships.

Pretty sure Friction was playing on 3 CDJs? Bit odd.

He said on Facebook that he will be playing on CDJ's from now on, except for his Shogun Audio nights, because nobody bothers to maintain turntables in clubs any more...
