I love this vid. Great comedy DJ set. Absolutely brilliant when he starts to bring in 'Lack of Love' at 26.41. He is bopping like a mentalist then it goes haywire and he restarts the wrong track. Love it.

this is where the thread should have ended, but... i believe people are getting confused here. Are we talking spinbacks or rewinds? to me spinback is spinning back a tune that's being mixed out, while rewind is... well rewind/reload/pullup

The spin back was invented on the SL-1200 because there was no other effects possible.

Today it is the cheesiest effect out there. Don't do it.

If you have to be a cheeseball. Download a sample and trigger it when you want in the sample decks.

They always sound the same anyway... woobbooubbuulllooobbouuhhhblblbloouoooo

I was on about crowd reaction demanding the wheel up on that one. But now you know.

But that video brings up an interesting topic, Funtcase uses a short loop on the CDJ 800, then uses the outer jog wheel to shorten it giving a different take on the reload method.

Backspinning works when you're dropping a heavy beat/well-known track, otherwise it sounds messy.

Guys, Loverocket has apologized and admitted fault several times.

Also, when trying to claim legitimacy as DJs, maybe terrible brostep examples aren't the best way to go.....

TL;DR: I'm not with them....

People aren't saying that, your views just seem very particular to the type of music you like. Broaden your horizons.

And yeah, Loverocket... Attend some events outside your comfort zone. There's no better feeling than hearing a mix that demands a reload (rewind, wheel up, pull up).

Spoken like a true rookie...just be quiet.

'download a sample and play it'....says it all really, just leave this place to never return!

Regarding spinbacks... Like any other DJ technique/effect, they can be overdone. If you spinback for every transition, it's going to sound bad. If you spinback for low energy transitions... it's probably going to sound bad. Taste is the key though, not an absolute rule one way or another.

As for Traktor - the turntable FX spinback can be okay... and barring using a midi controller I haven't used yet, it's probably your best option. That said, if you REALLY want to do decent spinbacks with Traktor, go the DVS route (which I'd recommend for reasons other than just spinbacks, but that's a story for another day).

I did a couple of backspins toevening , for RnB tracks; was using a pair of 2000s, and I didn't realise there was a knob to adjust the platter resistance, so it sounded shite haha.

I use spinbacks a lot in my mixing, but IMO if you're gonna spinback it has to be done on vinyl, if you do it on CDJ it sounds so digital and annoying, with vinyl you can manipulate it how you want. I'd say sample it, or just keep spinning and lower the fader at the same time? I also suggest doing a short spinback with a delay on it!

If you come to a garage/DnB/Bashment (or even a lot of house music) party in the UK wheel-ups happen occasionally, I love a good rewind at the exact right time, can sound so sick.

Whatever dude, it's fun. People say the same thing about the sync button, but it's something that people are just gonna do anyway.

have you done it in traktor annnnd do you get that thing where right after you do the deck totally dies?

Maybe map the tt effect as a jog effect, and mess around with the parameters and invert the control so when you back spin it modulates the effect forward? And maybe a slight high and mid increase, with a slight low decrease.

Sorry man. I guess I admit I was wrong. Backspins are quite harsh to my ear drums.

I never been to a DnB party. I don't believe it would interest me.

I need to hit up a dancehall party soon. I hope I am not disappointed.

The mixtapes I've heard are quite annoying. Maybe it's something you have to experience live .. after a few Red Stripes and some second hand smoke.

The s4's jog wheels are plasticy at best. Do it by hand. or use the tt effect in traktor. If i had an s4 handy, i could be more helpful mate. Im sure this can be completed somehow with intelligent mapping.

It's true, in dancehall and reggae shows the spin back (or pull up or whatever) is routine, and somehow people love it. Drove me crazy when I was in Kingston; loved the sound clash parties I went to but I came away from there believeing nobody knows how to DJ down there....
