Adjusting control vinyl tension on the Rane Twelves | Skratch Bastid 

Place a CD between the platter and slipmat. Solves the drag issue perfectly!! Smooth like butter. Learned this important trick from a DJ in the comments; felt that needed repeating because it worked perfectly.

U saved my life with this one.... I thought I was the only one who had this problem that twelve is tight on the spinbacks

oh thank you so much have been looking for someone to answer this question for so long respect SB.

Hey, this is an awesome tip for someone considering buying a Twelve.

Thanks dawg! Very nice of you!

Damn, I had this same question. Thank you for video responses!

With the new generation, they include washers that help with resistance as well. 😎

You’re a genius! I was thinking about returning the MK2s. 🙏🙌

This advice is also useful if you have a Numark NS7, its the same procedure. I was having the same issue of the control vinyl dragging a bit, I adjusted it like bastid said and it spins like butter now :)

What up DJ Skratch Bastid, awesome video, your appreciated homeslice. Its kinda funny, I was just literally doin this with my Denon SC-5000M media player, and I give you props for doin it with one hand, definitely a 2 handed task...lol hahaha....Im an in-between guy myself, when it comes to the vinyl slippage, dont want it to loose, but definitely not to tight either, just kinda in the middle. I noticed I had to sort of lift up gently, as I was also tightening that screw into the spindle slot.... Respex, Big Upz, & Mad Love to all the devoted, dedicated, & passionate Skratch DJ's worldwide.... 🔥💯👍💪🙏🎶🎵🌎

thanks man, I got the mk 2's and they sound a lot better already!

Nice DJ Skratch Bastid

I did this on my rane one and the drift is mad crazy

Thank You For This Video!!! 🙏🏼

omg more more more about the ranes pls!!! 👍

Thank you!!

Good knowledge DJ Bastid! Where or how did you get your logo on the slipmat and control disc? please.

I am working on hooking up my Technics 1200 to my rane 72

Really enjoy your videos and watching you DJing. I have a question currently I'm using the djm s11 mixer. With two Rane 12 mk II Just wondering if possible to connect a third Rane turntable to this setup. Thank you.

The original NS7 was so far ahead of its time... still the best all-in-one controller ever made and closest feel to vinyl with indestructible faders that slapped... thinking about grabbing the twelves

Wow, I did not know this at all.I even asked JFB about this and he was like whatever. I think I'll give it a go one more time before trying. Do butterrugs help any with the plastic sheets?

There are washers that come with the generation 2 twelves. You have to put at least two over the spindle BEFORE putting on the slip mats and vinyl. I had this exact same issue and haven’t had an issue since putting on the washers.

Tried this doesnt work on the MK2. As soon as you lift it off a bit its fine but then once you actually touch it and spin it locks into place. I think this is for the MK1 only. I tried the butter rugs from thudrumble and they seem to work good. I was using the stock slipmats with some wax paper and it worked cool for like 2wks then it started to stick and didnt work so good. Now just using butter rugs under. Have yet to try the Dr suzuki mats with the slipsheets since they want $20 to ship it from the UK

Yo Scratch Bastard... Kinda off topic but where did you pick up those Vinyl shelves you have in the back? The look pretty sturdy. I can only find cheat ones. Thanks

Good afternoon Brother, I’m wanting to get into djing. Do you mind speaking with me about the craft? Specifically I’d like to know more about song selection and making the nights energy fall and rise smoothly.

Do you prefer playing with the twelve or real turntables. I’m torn between the Reloop 8000 mk11 or the Rane Twelve MKii

Hey what is your opinion on these? Considering getting a pair but I want it to be identical to vinyl if possible.

I actually used a CD with the original stock slip mats

The lil srew is called grub screw and the free movement is called play its has some play in it thats why why control vynil sometimes have to just make the hole lil bigger when it goes over the spindle on turntable. To get that extra play

I usually put a sheet of paper or two underneath the platters ,then adjust . Its all trial and error to get it to feel the way you want it.

What about the spacers that comes with the second generation?

I'm having a delay problem with the mkl. What should I do to have it accurate for scratching??

Hi Scratch Bastid. I am using Rane 72 and Rane Twelves. One of the Rane Twelve has a problem with the Dual Key Pad. It is not working and when playing music it would start playing the track and then automatically jump to the end of the track and stopping. Please help me out here. Thank You

Will this work with the Rane One?

Where did you get the custom white vinyl

You went over to the dark side Pioneer mixer LOL!

This is what I do on my NS7ii.

eyy I got a question the motor torque do u have in High or low???

Sorry I can’t find this scroll but pls were can it get the scroll you using please?

is mk2 can use the same way to change？

I got new slip mats and the difference was night and day. The washers didn’t work for me.

Where can I find replacements I can’t find them online or I am lost..

Just add a few sheets of paper between the platter and the control disk then tighten the screw, you can add more or less until you find your sweet spot.

bro my twelve doesnt have any type of screw any help??

Scratch Bastid and other djs if you want more spin back place a cd under the record

U prefer 12 over 1210?

Hello Bastid. I have an issue with my start - stop button on rane 12 and I was wondering if you can help me with a tip. Every time I hit start, the record starts with a delay or latency and I don’t like it, is there a way to fix that?

动手能力极强！哈哈哈

RAne 12? Using Serato, is there still a music signal sound. Sounds like a permanent beep. It's so annoying if you can hear it.

Screwdriver?

Place a cd under the vinyl it spins more

The Rane Twelves look awesome, I just wish their was a tuntable/controller hybrid. That way you could whip off your control vinyl and bang on a real record & get the best of both worlds. I rarely DJ anymore, but saw these & love the look of them. It would just be nice to have control vinyl that you weren't wearing out with the needle. TBH I still don't get how these decks work.

Homie that's a Allen key

hi! The mk2 is different story...

Your screwdriver is an Allen key, you are an amazing Dj but I wouldn't want you repairing my car😀

Hallo Bro😊DZi Dj))❤

CoolFreshh Kid..

Yo B... you need to get a stand for your camera bro...lol

Not the right way…..tightening or loosening with Allen key does not work because it’s based on a slot resistance….like on or off situation. I purchased Dr Suzuki slip mats….no change….it’s a simple thing what RANE suggests…add the washers provided

Use a Allen wrench he said a screwdriver !!!
