What’s the biggest insight I’ve learned from working as a mix engineer and a music production lecturer? You can’t really teach people mixing. You can show them techniques and tricks. You can explain the science of acoustics or sound. You can demonstrate how you solved problems and crafted mixes over the years by revealing your song projects to your students. And lest we not forget, this is exactly what Sound On Sound has been doing for you for more than 39 years. But you can’t really. Really.

As someone who fought it out with Traktor Scratch vinyl for years in clubs and festivals before abandoning ship, Phase is a game changer. It looks like an old school pager, and essentially it’s a device that lets your turntable control the music playing by using wireless technology instead of needles. No more bass frequencies messing with the sensitive cartridge means a stable signal and a potentially bullet proof vinyl control solution for digital DJing. Would I switch to this?
