HI, I work parttime at an FM station and we have STanton turntables and I know how to cue, but I am going to do some dj shows for our senior center and am gonna use my old JVC table and also, if I am only hooked up to one of those pa amps I got off amazon. how can I hear my cueing up? We have a cue switch on the console so I can cue a record that way, just curious as to what to do.

Does it "hurt" the motor/turntable? (I mean cueing/stopping it manually). Is it possible in a Technics SL-D2?

Also, when do you switch the mixer to put your cue on this turntable or the other. 😅

hello mate, nice video. sometimes I see some people mixing and always gets me wonder. when you're cueing you only grab the record trought the slipmat, you never bring the whole motor with it right? is it ok to do so cause sometimes it looks like people bring the whole thing with them

Thank you for this! I'm wondering if you can help me out with an issue I'm experiencing when trying to do this. When I find the beat to cue, and I am moving back and forth with my hand to catch the beat, I am finding that my stylus keeps jumping backwards to the outside of the record slightly. This throws off the positioning of the beat, and it is very frustrating and difficult to correct since it keeps jumping backwards every time I try to fix it. Any ideas as to why this may be happening?

Does that damage the needle or refordv
