GuptRX Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 at home i have both of mine battle style, to give me more room on my bench. but when i play out they go back to normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imadje Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 As Jaz, Vlad and Wazza said:The tone arm is out of the way, the start/stop and on/off button for the left hand side is next to the fader on that side, and the two platters are as close to the cross fader as possible.FYI: i am right handed so most transforming/scratching uses the left hand deck. My strongest (right hand) is free to manipulate the fader. If I want a drill or intricate scribble I use my right hand on either deck. My left hand is pretty useless on the fader.

Cupe Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 weirdi'm right handed and scratch with right, use left hand on fader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichoKidd Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Battle Position. I only do this cause it sounds MEAN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabRat Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I set mine up normally when mixing. I use to have it set up battle style when I was short in space but I find it stupid set up like that lolBut then again I don't really care. I'll play on anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My left hand is pretty useless on the fader.cant believe i missed this thread lol! I am exactly the same right hand is dominant on the fader and i usually use the left deck for scratching, but i have much better record control with my right hand aswell, am currently forcing myself to fade with the left, i figure its like footy, you have your dominant foot but can still kick with the other.As for battle formation1. It makes juggling sooooo much easier! back when hip hop started, all they had was the breaks, juggling was essential to keep the break going.2. It looks f@%$ing dope!3. Tone arm is out of the way (especially with straight ones)4. refer to number 2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
