Vinyl Record & Vinyl Control DJs… Attention!
No sound coming out when you plug your cartridge in to the tone arm on your turntable?
Only hearing one side?
Poor calibration in Serato/Traktor?
Don’t blow into the tone arms, please. The little bit of saliva does not help any humidity situation that may already exist.
Could be oxidation. This video is great… I don’t have and have never used a Dremel doing this but you get the idea…

Frank (just Frank) – Very Rare. Live at Wierd.
I have always vowed to never do live sound – for the sake of my ears, primarily, and for the sake of not having to deal with bands I don’t like. The studio is just a more controlled environment and when you record something you can be as precise as you like. There’s no ‘rewind’ button in a live performance.
With that said, I recently I started doing live sound for a weekly coldwave/minimal synth night called Wierd. Last night was the first night I brought along a new toy/helpful tool – an iPad – and recorded the band’s set… and it turned out pretty good!
Here’s 4 tracks from Frank (just Frank) – Very Rare. The mixes aren’t perfect because obviously, it was mixed for the crowd… but don’t harass me!
FRANK (JUST FRANK) – COLLAPSE (LIVE at WIERD)
FRANK (JUST FRANK) – THE CLOSET SONG (LIVE AT WIERD)
FRANK (JUST FRANK) – BENEATH (LIVE at WIERD)
FRANK (JUST FRANK) – MR. ITAGAKI (LIVE AT WIERD)
